Thistle had the best of the early play but several chances were wasted before Brown hit the bar from 30 yards. Celtic wasted chances too and hit the post (the ball bounced into Freebairn's arms as he turned round). The match deteriorated into a series of personal feuds then Hogan scored from 12 yards (73.)
