Match Report

TTA report

Denis O'Hare testimonial. In atrocious weather and played at a gentle pace, Thistle took the lead when McLeod (J) scored from a Torbet corner. Torbet then scored twice before Celtic pulled one back on half-time. In the second half Celtic increased the pressure and scored twice, the 2nd late on.
