Half-Time Report: Joe Ledley puts Celtic in front

Joe Ledley gives Celtic a slender 1-0 lead over Partick Thistle at half time in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic are leading Partick Thistle 1-0 in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon, thanks to an impressive effort from Joe Ledley.

Teemu Pukki almost put the hosts ahead straight after kickoff as he was allowed time and space, but the striker couldn't convert as his shot was saved in the centre of goal.

The visitors had two excellent chances early on as great balls were delivered into the box. However, Stuart Banniga and Lyle Taylor were wasteful as both of their headers flew wide of the target.

Thistle's Christie Elliott almost made amends as he crashed a header towards the roof of the net, though Fraser Forster did just enough to keep the ball out of the Celtic goal.

James Craigen had another great chance to give the visitors a shock lead going into half time, as he rose to connect with an in-swinging delivery, but could only guide the effort straight into the arms of Forster.

Thistle were made to pay in the 39th minute as Celtic's Ledley unleashed a right-footed shot from outside the box, which flew past the goalkeeper and into the bottom-right corner.
