Match Report

TTA report

For more than an hour a magnificent performance by Rough kept Celtic (with ex-JAGs Glavin and Joe Craig) at bay. A Glavin free-kick took a wicked deflection off Mackie for the opener (67). Thistle went looking for an equaliser but a 2nd goal completed the scoring (82). Completely one-sided.
