Match Report

TTA report

“Thistle trounced at Parkhead“ (GH). Unchanged for 3 weeks, Thistle started the game reasonably well and were a “quite good and clever combination“ (SC) but were eventually overrun by Celtic on their way to the title. Chasing the game from the 10th minute, the result was never in doubt.
