Match Report

TTA report

Celtic had most of the play and made several good chances. McDonald passed up Thistle's rare attempt (28). Celtic upped the pace after half-time and the post saved Thistle. Walker was a busy keeper then 2 goals (59 and a deflected free-kick, 67) settled it. Celtic eased off and Smith scored with a deflected free-kick (90).

Media report

Simon Pia, 08-Oct-1995, Scotland on Sunday

Thistle never really deserved to take anything out of this game, but if they had Celtic would only have had themselves to blame. their attack still looks far from the finished article with a lack of danger on the wings, and the absence of a penalty box predator. However, the Parkhead defence seems to be sorting itself out, especially with the additions of McNamara and McQuilken to that department.
