What a game we have now!
Partick Thistle have pulled another one back... no!
A huge let-off for the snoozing Celtic defence as Sean Welsh bullets a header home from a set piece but is flagged offside.
Celtic's rearguard looking about as secure as a man with a tray of drinks heading back to his seat on the ferry to Arran.
BBC Sportsound pundits Pat Bonner and Steven Thompson are having a pop at Celtic's defending for the Partick Thistle goal.
"Shocking," according to the bold Pat. Hope springs eternal for the hosts; if they can arrow a few more high balls into Celtic's penalty area...
A blizzard of substitutions to bring you up to date with: Edwards and Lawless are on for Erskine and Amoo for the hosts.
For Celtic, Christie and McGregor have replaced Rogic and Mackay-Steven.
The hosts pull a goal back with a move of stunning simplicity. Free kick from Sean Welsh played into the box and the unmarked Liam Lindsay whose header sails over Craig Gordon and into the net. Game on?

Celtic are now one goal away from netting 70 in all competitions this season. The Partick Thistle bench look deep in thought as they think of a way to get back into this game. That quickfire two goals immediately after the break may have taken the game away from them and the opportunity to move alongside sixth-placed Kilmarnock.
A nightmare for the Partick defence; delight for Celtic's front-line. High pressing from the visitors sees Partick cough up possession and Leigh Griffiths is onto the ball in a flash. The striker rolls the back-tracking defence before thundering a shot past Tomas Cerny.
Image source, SNSThe visitors are in the mood to add to their tally and they do so as Leigh Griffiths plays a short free kick to Stuart Armstrong and the midfielder arrows a shot into the bottom corner for his and his side's second.
Partick Thistle keeper Tomas Cerny goes down in installments as he attempts to save.

We're back under way at Firhill. No changes for either side...
Unless Partick Thistle can produce a bit of magic after the ubiquitous half-time orange slices then Celtic will extend their lead at the top of the table to 11 points. Are there more goals in this game? Can Thistle emulate Motherwell last week and give Craig Gordon and the Celtic defence something to think about?

Partick Thistle 0-1 Celtic
Steven Thompson
Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound
The three of them in midfield compliment each other so well: Stuart Armstrong with his pace and his energy, Scott Brown with his aggression and his leadership, and Tom Rogic with his craft and creativity.
Stuart Armstrong's close-range strike separates the sides at the break. Neither Partick or Celtic are firing on all cylinders but the visitors showed more attacking intent as the first half wore on.
Can Alan Archibald and his troops finds a way back into this game?
Image source, SNSStuart Armstrong's strike has put fresh wind in the visitors' sails. On-loan Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts slaloms through a couple of Partick challenges before being swallowed up by the home defence.
Steven Thompson
BBC Sportsound pundit
Up until they scored, Celtic have been playing too deep and Brendan Rodgers will want them further up the pitch and dominating in the opponents' half.

Celtic draw first blood as skipper Scott Brown plays in Leigh Griffiths down the left. The striker whips in a dangerous low cross which evades the statuesque Partick Thistle defence but not Stuart Armstrong who stabs the ball home beyond the helpless Tomas Cerny.
