notes

GH and EEN describe Celtic's first goal as a shot by MacDonald diverted past Jackson by Miller. SC is similar but does not identify either player involved. APJ identifies the shot came from MacDonald but does not identify who diverted it. DC says “Miller put through his own goal”. We take the view that the benefit of the doubt should lie with the shooter and we therefore side with

A narrow but convincing win for Celtic. Wyllie went close on the break before Celtic scored with a deflected shot (22). They had the best of the play and Jackson saved a penalty. A 2nd goal (86) put the tie beyond doubt and Murray's goal in the last minute was Thistle's late consolation.
