Match Report

TTA report

Even with 4 reserves paying, Celtic were too good - indeed one of them scored a hat-trick. The right wing menace of the 2 Macs was snuffed out and the defence was under constant pressure. Thistle trailed 3-0 but a period of pressure saw them hit the post and bar before McCrindle pulled one back from close in but Celtic ran out easy winners.
