Match Report

TTA report

“Celtic high jinks” (SP). Trailing 2-0 inside 5 mins, there was never any chance of an upset. Thistle lost clearly unfit McSpadyen at half-time and with both full-backs limping, the 10 men were glad to hear the final whistle. The only consolation was a Curran penalty (62) when it was 4-0.
