Review

A game of missed chances for Celtic. After dominating the first half but fauiling to put away the chances they had, thery succumbed to a well-playing Thirds side in the second half. Thirds scored first in a good passing breakaway move. Divers equalised just before half time from an Auld cross. However in the second half it was all Third Lanark and they scored a further three goals before Mike Jackson pegged one back just before the whistle.
