Match Report

TTA report

Another fine performance by Thistle, and Higgins. A Jardine free-kick (53) gave them the lead and a soft penalty (Watson, 73) made it 2-0. Lacklustre Celtic suddenly came to life with an onslaught with 2 goals (75 and 77) but Thistle saw the game out for another vital point making it 3 Old Firm points from 4.
