Match Report

TTA report

Goals by Howitt (after fine work by Sharp, 4) and Smith (from a quickly taken free-kick, 5) gave Thistle a dream start. Unbeaten Celtic fought back and scored (23) then applied lots of pressure before equalising just on half-time. They missed a sitter, Sharp shot home (49) then his header made it 4-2 (69) and a fine win.
