Match Report

TTA report

An assured Thistle team playing 4-4-2 gave as good as they got. Lawrie shot high into the net from a corner (36). The second half was equally matched until Celtic scored their 6,000th league goal with a scrambled effort after a brilliant stop by Rough (71). Several rejected pen claims riled the Parkhead faithful.
