Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were better in every department for an hour. The forwards tormented Celtic's defence and did everything but score. The 1st goal (66) was against the run of play and 2 quick goals (83 and 85) gave Celtic a flattering win. On a quagmire of a pitch, both teams gave their all.
