Match Report

TTA report

Celtic were not at their best but were good enough and scored with a low shot after the ball was played back in at a corner (61). Thistle had their moments after that but never seriously threatened. Farningham was sent off (foul, 82). As he walked off it was announced he was the sponsor's man of the match!

Media report

28-Aug-1993, Press Association

Mark McNally switched roles to become the matchwinner for Celtic. The central defender, outstanding as he turned back the threat from the Partick attack, still had time to go forward after 61 minutes to grab the only goal of the game. With the home defence again looking suspect at set pieces, they let a corner travel across the face of the goal for Charlie Nicholas to head it back for McNally to sweep into the net. Partick finished with 10 men after Ray Farningham was sent off for pullind down Charlie Nicholas eight minutes from time as the striker bore down on goal. Nicholas had come closest to the opener with a ninth-minute shot which hit a post.
