Stuart Armstrong scores from close range
Armstrong & Griffiths both score within minute; Liam Lindsay pulls one back
Callum McGregor adds fourth for Celtic
Celtic move 11 points clear in the Premiership
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, notepad and pen in hand, scribbles away furiously in his technical area. Not sure if he's seen something of tactical note or has had a flash of festive inspiration for Christmas presents.
It remains goalless at Firhill with neither keeper called into action... yet.
The first hint of a half-chance and it falls to the visitors. The rejuvenated and rebooted Stuart Armstrong finds himself in space about 25 yards from goal but the midfielder balloons his shot high and wide.
That wayward effort might land amid startled Friday-night revellers on Great Western Road...
Precious little in the way of goalmouth action to bring you as both sides attempt to establish some rhythm to their passing on the lush Firhill turf.
We're off and running at a floodlit Firhill!
Both managers exchange a handshake and a few words, we're about to get under way...

"It's going to be difficult for Partick isn't it? Eight wins in a row for Celtic and Partick going four games without a win.
"Partick will have to press Celtic high. I watched them here [at Firhill] against Rangers and they did really well for about 70 minutes.
"They'll have to bring that same level of performance. But you do worry because Celtic are so dominant.
"Last weekend Motherwell proved that Celtic aren't indestructible; in the first half Motherwell were excellent and scored two goals.
"There are problems in the defensive area for Celtic if you get at them..."
