    Celtic striker John Guidetti has had a few chances tonight against Partick Thistle but he has been unable to get the better of Paul Gallacher.

    There's still 45 minutes to go though and Jags boss Alan Archibald will be hammering home to his players that concentration is key when the Swede is on the pitch.

    BBC Scotland's Richard Wilson at Celtic Park

    "The clearer chances belonged to Celtic, with Johansen and Tonev the most influential of their attackers, but Thistle were determined at the back and game up front. Celtic need to up the tempo and try to spring players in behind the Thistle defence, too many attacks are pulling up short as they try one-twos around the edge of the penalty area."

    "You could argue that Celtic maybe deserve to be in front but what a chance Partick had from that free-kick when Osman headed over the bar. I think Alan Archibald will be quite pleased but they will be looking to do more with their set pieces."

  7. GOALpublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Kris Boyd hammers in a free-kick from 25 yards and Craig McDowall can only claw it back out where Kenny Miller is waiting to lash the ball home from 10 yards.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Referee Brian Colvin brings the first half to a close at Celtic Park. It remains 0-0.

  9. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    The action is underway again at Recreation Park.

    A goal or two would be nice lads...

  10. CLOSE!published at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Celtic's Anthony Stokes and Stefan Johansen link brilliantly at the edge of the area but the former fluffs his lines when the ball is played back to him, and the ball goes well wide.

    Adam Matthews shoots wide as Celtic continue to press for the opener and then, following a blunder from Partick's Abdul Osman, the hosts pass up a fine chance to take the lead, with Anthony Stokes eventually taking a shot that drifts wide.

    Partick Thistle keeper Paul Gallacher looks a bit worried as Virgil van Dijk tries a shot but it bounces into the ground and goes narrowly over.

    The big Dutchman seems just as capable of sniffing out chances as he is at snuffing them out at the other end.

    Celtic winger Aleksandar Tonev has been one of the most lively players on show in Glasgow but the score remains 0-0.

  14. JOIN THE DEBATEpublished at 20:22 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Hugh: "I have just watched Alloa comprehensively outplay Rangers....in every sense. Rangers were being touted on Sat as a top six team. Where does that place Alloa, and worse, Kilmarnock?"

    BBC Scotland's Richard Wilson at Celtic Park

    "For all that Partick Thistle have tried to be bright and ambitious on the ball, and Celtic have been occasionally too casual, it is the home side that has dominated possession. Stefan Johansen has been particularly prominent and seems the most likely to create threatening moments."

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Referee John McKendrick brings the first half to a close at Recreation Park, with the score 0-0.

  17. Postpublished at 20:18 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Partick go close to our first goal of the night as Stuart Bannigan delivers a free-kick that Abdul Osman nods just over the bar. Craig Gordon looked well beaten if the effort had been on target.

  18. Postpublished at 20:17 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Mark Docherty is the next Alloa player to try his luck but his shot from 22 yards is easily scooped up by Steve Simonsen.

  19. Postpublished at 20:16 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Another chance for Celtic but John Guidetti can only find the side netting from close range after more good work from the excellent Stefan Johansen.

  20. Postpublished at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Celtic threaten again as Stefan Johansen's corner is met by the head of Virgil van Dijk but it takes a touch off a Partick defender and goes out for another corner that comes to nothing.
