Match Report

TTA report

Thistle edged things in terms of possession but both sets of forwards were either well off target, or shot straight at the keepers. The second half was little different. The Celtic keeper had 4 or 5 fine saves to thwart Thistle as they took the game to Celtic at every opportunity. Little wonder it remained 0-0.
