Match Report

TTA report

2nd top Celtic were “soundly beaten“ (GH) because they missed several good chances before Thistle got going. Walker and MacKenzie on the wings were ineffective but Stott was a constant threat and he scored with a volley (23) and a header (56) before Howitt's header from a MacKenzie corner (74) made sure.
