Review
Celtic were dreadful until Thistle when 2-0 up in 73 minutes.
McNeill threw on Crainie and Conroy as subs and pushed Aitken into midfield and this made all the difference.
Within four minutes they were level and only a brave save by Rough from Aitken in the closing stages denied Celtic the win.
Roy Aitken was immense in that last 15 minutes.
