Match Report

TTA report

Celtic scored in the 1st minute and were 4-0 up at half-time (inc one pen). They were too good for Thistle who had their chances but the defence was prone to poor pass-backs and sloppy marking and the forwards were indecisive. Celtic scored again and Fleming scored with a volley from 18 yards in consolation.
