Match Report

TTA report

An excellent opening 20 minutes by Thistle saw Marshall score first. Perversely, when Celtic were reduced to 10 men (30), they fell out of the game and 2 goals in the second half saw them defeated. Bowie was outstanding and (not unconnected) was “subjected to considerable abuse“ (SP) by some of the crowd.
