Match Report

TTA report

Weakened Celtic were still too much for Thistle who had trouble passing and shooting. Celtic's forwards weren't much better but they capitalised on a mistake by Kerr to take the lead (24). A shot that hit the post, ran along the line and went in (83). The holders were out tamely “surprisingly lacking in effort” (GH).
