Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had their share of the play and a few chances but never seriously threatened. They trailed 2-0 to goals 8 and 16 but in the second half McLennan ran from half-way, outpaced the Celtic defence, drew the keeper and scored from 10 yards (51) only for Celtic to score again (58). A timid end to the fine run.
