Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's defence (2nd fewest goals conceded) was found wanting against Celtic (unbeaten in 45). A defensive mix-up (any one of three defenders could have cleared the ball ) led to the opener (22). Thistle took the game to Celtic in the second half, missed a few chances to equalise but Celtic scored again (85).
