Injury-hit Thistle fought bravely but the gulf in class was obvious for all to see. They couldn't cope with Hughes at No 11 who scored twice (23 and 67) and laid on a pass for Celtic's 1st (13). Divers (cheered off by both sets of fans) and Flanagan went close but Thistle were well beaten before Celtic's 4th (83).

Drew Herbertson's new book tells their long overdue story, providing biographies of all the Scots who have handled international matches. From the early pioneers when international football first started in 1872 through to the current FIFA list, “Scotland's International Football Referees” commemorates their careers and is a tribute to their achievements.
