TTA report

Perhaps with an eye on the cup final, Celtic (2 wins in 11) were not at full strength. Stott gave Thistle the lead (7) when he took a pass from Sharp and shook off the close attention of 2 defenders. Generally play sagged and was uneventful until he extended the lead (73). Kinnell made it 3 (86). Thistle went 6th.
