Review
A wet and windy night at Firhill.
Celtic were 4-0 up at one point before slacking off – at which point Partick Thistle fought back with a vengeance and Latchford had to make some important saves in the second half.
Roy Aitken scored one of the goals of the season when he controlled a throw from Latchford, charged forward, played a one-two with Craig and fired home a glorious shot from 30 yards.
Celtic were clear at the top at the end of the month
