Match Report

TTA report

Celtic outplayed Thistle and should have been well ahead at half-time but Freebairn was in magnificent form. A soft pen (52) sparked some more urgency and it was cancelled out when Wilson side-footed a pass from Smith (65) then Fleming prodded in a McParland cross (78) to trigger boos from the terracing.
