Match Report

TTA report

“Rough prevents Thistle massacre” (GH). They would have been crushed had it not been for some poor finishing and Rough who single-handed kept Celtic out for an hour. A free-kick and a header (60 and 79) did the damage. Thistle had one shot on target and had no idea how to get back into the game.
