Match Report

TTA report

Seriously weakened by injury, several reserves playing, a youngster at centre-half, Hogan lost to injury (65), Thistle were never seriously in this game. A swerving shot from the edge of the box (28) and a 20-yard drive (50) were all that Celtic needed. Worse still, several senior players looked disinterested.
