Match Report

TTA report

4 days later…Walker scored twice (17 and 66). In a frenzy of scoring Stott made it 3-0 (77) and the match seemed over but Celtic scored (78), Stott scored (79), Celtic scored (80). It remained 4-2 until Stott completed his hat-trick (89). “Magnificent display” (DC) for Thistle. “Slow handclap for lamentable Celts”.
