Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were “better combined in attack and superior in defensive tactics” (GH). Sharp (12) and Newall (62) gave them a 2-goal lead. Celtic attacked in strength and reduced the lead (74) on the counter and winning 11-2 on corners went all out for a leveller but McSpadyen's low shot (89) secured the win.
