Match Report

TTA report

The realities of the gap between the Premier Division and the 1st were all too obvious as Thistle (with several regulars out injured) were outclassed. Celtic scored 10, 56 and 60 and hit the bar 3 times. Only Rough prevented a complete rout. The defence was ripped apart (85) to make it 4.
