Match Report

TTA report

Celtic had no intention to lose twice in a week to Thistle. They ran out easy winners with goals 9, 17 and 67. It might have been different when Picken beat 2 defenders, tricked the keeper who dived at his feet and promptly lofted the ball over the bar. Thistle were well beaten. Brown and Picken were best.
