Match Report

TTA report

Celtic (no wins in 7) lived dangerously as Thistle missed umpteen first half chances. Houston and Somner caused problems as they dominated but inevitably they paid the price as Celtic rallied and scored (47) with a shot past Rough. Thistle ran out of ideas and could have gone top had they won.
