Quick Review

Celtic started the stronger of the two sides and Shaun Maloney passed up an early chance after finding himself clean through on goal, his weak effort saved by Jakup Mikkelsen. But Mikkelsen was to blame minutes later when Stilian Petrov cut the ball back for Lambert, whose low drive squirmed under the keeper's hand and over the line.
Thistle got back on level terms on 26 minutes after a fine lay-off by Gerry Britton allowed Grady to sneak in behind Joos Valgaeren and toe-poke the ball past Rab Douglas.
But with three minutes remaining in the first half, Referee Clark awarded Celtic a penalty as Ross and Petrov collided, and Thompson made no mistake from the spot.
