Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were a shade unlucky not to draw. Celtic were in command early on and they took the lead from a corner (5). A better second half performance saw Peat equalise (60) when the Celtic defence hesitated waiting for a whistle for a foul that never came but the winner came 8 minutes later.
