Big chance for the Jags as the powerful Ade Azeez steams through and shoots with the outside of his right boot, when a swing with the left might have been better, and Craig Gordon is able to touch it into the side-netting.

From the corner, Liam Lindsay is penalised for some climbing.

Celtic are seeing more and more of the ball as Moussa Dembele lays the ball off for Callum McGregor, who has a dip from distance but his shot sails high and wide.

Tomas Cerny is being kept busy as the Thistle keeper dives to gather a scuffed shot from Moussa Dembele. Another routine save for the Czech.

Calvin Miller gets forward again and plays a neat give-and-go with Patrick Roberts. The target opens up for the teenager on his Celtic debut but his side-foot effort is easily scooped up by Tomas Cerny.

All of Partick Thistle's intrepidness was undone by a moment of carelessness. Scott Sinclair's clipped finish for the opening goal was excellent, but he was unchallenged as he met Liam Henderson's free-kick cut-back. Celtic are now finding their passing rhythm, and trying to stretch the Thistle defence and midfield with their movement on and off the ball. For the visitors, hope resides in the scurrying and inventiveness of Ryan Edwards and the powerful running of Ade Azeez up front.

The Premiership's bottom club have gone six games without a win. it's going to take something special to avoid making it seven.

"Partick Thistle had done a lot of good things but all that work is undone as they switch off from the set-pice."

First corner to Thistle and Sean Welsh's cross is smashed high over on the half-volley by defender Liam Lindsay.

Here comes Calvin Miller for a first gallop forward and the Celtic's teenager's cross is comfortably gathered by goalkeeper Tomas Cerny.

"Roberts and Sinclair are both cutting in from the wings and playing in a triangle with Dembele. The Thistle central midfielders will need to keep an eye on that."

Ade Azeez hares after a ball over the top from Ziggy Gordon and the Thistle striker hammers in a shot from a tight angle that Craig Gordon keeps out and there are no visiting players alive to the loose ball. An early scare for the home side.

Jozo Simunovic is caught dithering on the ball by Ryan Edwards but the Thistle midfielder cannot take advantage of a bad slip from the Celtic defender as he shoots tamely at goalkeeper Craig Gordon.

Some slick work from Celtic between Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele wins an early corner. Liam Henderson whips in a good delivery and Sinclair gets too much on it as he heads off target.

Here we go. Will the Celtic juggernaut roll on against the Premiership's bottom side?

Kevin O'Hara gives East Fife an 11th-minute lead away to Stenhousemuir.

Here's what Calvin Miller looks like. It's a big night for the Celtic debutant.

The rain is falling heavily, the pitch is slick, so it's a night for composure and concentration at Celtic Park. 

Both sides will face a similar challenge in trying to play their game in the conditions, but Partick Thistle will also expect to be pinned back early on. Celtic have made eight changes to the starting line up and although the attention is drawn to 18-year-old Calvin Miller coming into the side at left-back, Brendan Rodgers has also brought back Scott Brown, Scott Sinclair, Patrick Roberts and Moussa Dembele, all rested and fresh to provide the impetus the Celtic manager demands from his side. 

This is a stark challenge for Partick Thistle.

So, what about the recent meeting at Firhill?

It was a rather one-sided affair with Celtic scoring two goals early in the second half to lead 3-0 before running out 4-1 winners.

Thistle manager Alan Archibald said yesterday: "Every game is different. The players know what they did in the game, the things they did poorly and if we can rectify them, it gives us a chance."
