Match Report

TTA report

A weak pen by Wright was easily saved (12) then 2 minutes later a casual header at the far post made it 1-0. Thistle fought back and after several corners, McBride took a Duffy pass to level (40) but 2 minutes later and Celtic had restored their lead. Thistle had a good second half but Celtic held on for both points.
