Match Report

TTA report

Celtic had most of the first half but Thistle scored first from the spot (Allan) then Celtic equalised from a goalmouth scramble. In the second half Celtic scored twice before Howden went off injured. Gray went into goal and it was damage limitation after that. The 10 men held out until Celtic scored their 4th (80).
