Review
Celtic were two goals to the good on 56 minutes with goals from Hughes and Wallace. But Partick Thistle fought back with a goal from Jimmy Bone, and after Bobby Murdoch scored a third making it 3-1 to the Celts, Flanagan added a second and another from Jimmy Bone made a rip roaring contest of it and a replay needed.
