Match Report

TTA report

The Celtic keeper let a Simpson header from an Elliott free-kick through his hands (4) to earn both points. Grove was (harshly) sent off along with a Celtic forward just after half-time. Thistle held on to absorb almost constant Celtic pressure, but the defence stood firm, none more so than McAllister who subdued Celtic marksman McGrory. Simpson missed a sitter in the dying minutes.
