Match Report

TTA report

“More intelligent Thistle“ (GH). A Hogan shot from 30 yards squirmed under the keeper's body (4) then Cowan made it 2-0 with a shot deflected past the keeper (25). Niven had some marvellous saves in the second half as Thistle packed their defence to contain Celtic. Cowan, Duffy and Hainey were outstanding. Eight straight wins!
