Ibrox. A heroic and surprise win. Ledgerwood went off injured (49) and played on the wing for half an hour. Celtic frittered away chances while Thistle struggled but McParland (a header, 72) and MacKenzie (a shot on a breakaway, 81) scored before a header off the bar (88) beat stand-in keeper Wright.
