Match Report

TTA report

A good start by Thistle had Celtic under pressure and Harris (N) was prominent. Celtic came back into it and they took the lead (49) then Bowie missed a good chance from the kick-off. A second goal near the end killed off the tie. It was hard-fought but Celtic's better forwards made the difference.
