Review
Thistle put up their best display for many weeks and the 3-0 score flattered Celtic. Thistle hit the woodwork twice and Bonner made several good saves to keep the Jags at bay.
However when Celtic went in front they looked likely winners. Danny Crainie is the hero of the hour with a fine hat trick and his emegence is keeping Celtic in front in the title race.
