Match Report

TTA report

A scrappy goal from a lose ball (9) separated the teams. The first half belonged to Thistle who had most of the play but their shooting was “high, wide and hopeless“ (SP). Celtic missed a pen (44) and survived several hectic scrambles but guts and graft weren't enough. Thistle faded out after half-time, Celtic saw it out.
