Match Report

TTA report

AET. AGG: 1-3. A diving header by O'Hara (40) relieved the boredom and levelled the tie on aggregate but Welsh got his (harsh) 2nd yellow (53). Thistle fought on bravely but they tired and were eventually beaten by a 25-yarder (94) and a header from a corner (112). Fatigue more than Celtic did for them in the end.
