Match Report

TTA report

Celtic struck their best form of the season and Thistle were disjointed up front and scarcely threatened. They trailed to goals (16, 53 and 71) before Doonan scored (73) but a 4th (80) only went part of the way to reflect Celtic's superiority. McKennan (3 games in a week) was clearly unfit.
