Quick Review

The home crowd were stunned in the 12th minute when Thistle striker Grady was given room to head Derek Fleming's free kick past Magnus Hedman, off the underside of the crossbar. Celtic responded with Larsson heading over from close range and Sutton saw his shot squeezed wide by a deflection.
With 23 minutes gone Larsson levelled the game when he gathered a Sutton pass and drilled the ball past Kenny Arthur, despite the close attention of three Jags defenders.
Hartson then saw his glancing header flash inches wide of the target after connecting with a Larsson cross.
Ten minutes before half time, Celtic went in front when Larsson drove a low free-kick towards goal and Sutton's cute flick wrong-footed Arthur and the ball spun into the opposite corner of the net.
With an hour gone Celtic extended their lead when Larsson and Liam Miller combined to carve open the Jags defence and the Swede found Sutton, who knocked in his 10th goal in seven games from 12 yards.
Hartson then bundled his way into the Thistle penalty area and Arthur did well to push away the Welshman's rising shot.
