Review
A tight, tough end-to-end game during which Celtic attacked the Thistle goalkeeper relentlessly.
Celtic threw everything at Thistle but Alan Rough defied them with a great performance.
Latchford also made a fine save from McAdam and the only thing a packed Firhill with great atmosphere lacked was goals.
