Match Report

TTA report

“A magnificent game in the mud“ (GH). Boosted by the unexpected availability of McKennan (on leave), Morrison opened (49), the keeper misjudging his cross but Celtic levelled (69). Morrison and Younger made it 2-1 then 3-1 (70 and 75) only for Celtic to score again (76) but McKennan scored from a corner to make sure. Celtic remained bottom.
