    Partick Thistle boss Alan Archibald also thought his side should have had a penalty when a Stuart Bannigan shot hit the elbow of Emilio Izaguirre. It was from very close range but it also changed the direction of a net-bound shot...

    "We've had one penalty all season," laments Archibald. "I don't think you get penalties like that against Celtic."

    "It was a terrible start. It's important when you play Celtic that you make them work for their goals but we gifted them the first two. Our season won't be defined by games against Celtic and we have important games coming up. We need to get more belief out of the players."

    "We had good energy on the pitch. We had good intensity. We pressed the opponent all over the pitch and it's hard work, that's why we need more than 11. It's tough coming to a new team when they expect to win. I'm still learning and the team is still developing."

    Stephen O'Donnell shows great pace to get down the right flank and delivers a promising low cross in the direction of Kris Doolan but the ball takes a wee bobble in front of the Partick striker and the chance for a consolation goal is gone.
