Match Report

TTA report

A fine passing move started by Shankly resulted in McGeachy netting (20). Husband (outstanding) rattled a post and Picken went close. Celtic equalised (67) but Johnson got the winner (85). The win was to too late for Thistle to do anything in the section but it prevented Celtic from qualifying for the S-F.
