notes

Frustratingly, the SP lists Davie Ness in their line-up, but refers to the unlisted Willie Wilkie in the match report and even prints a photo of Wilkie adjacent. We therefore stick with Wilkie per the OH, but it's a rather unsatisfactory business.

Match Report

TTA report

An excellent end to the league season. 2nd top Celtic took an early lead but a deflected shot by Salisbury (37) made it 1-1. Elliott put Thistle ahead (65) following a miskick but a pen (hand ball, 68) and a late goal seemed to have put the points safe until Gibson scored with the last kick of the match.
