    Tom Rogic

    Cristian Gamboa is the creator again for Celtic as he plays a one-two with James Forrest and the Costa Rica right-back's cross is side-footed home by Tom Rogic.

    The holders had their moment of concern but are back on track for the quarter-finals.

    GOAL Partick Thistle 1-2 Celticpublished at 77mins

    Moussa Dembele

    Just as we were contemplating extra time and penalties, Celtic race up the other end and are back ahead.

    Cristian Gamboa bursts into the penalty box and, although Moussa Dembele can only get his thigh to the ball, it is enough to find the net from 10 yards.

    Thistle threaten again as a corner looks to be heading towards the forehead of Thomas O'Ware in front of the Celtic goal before Olivier Ntcham nods it clear.

    You could sense Celtic getting sloppy, careless, thinking they'll get a second goal eventually. It wasn't the cleanest strike, but Mbuyi-Mutombo's shot found the very corner of the net. These erratic players can be really difficult for defenders. He's kept at it and got his rewards.

    Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo

    While Celtic have had the bulk of the game, Thistle were always still in it at 1-0 and definitely are as they equalise.

    Aidan Fitzpatrick makes an immediate impact as the substitute weaves past Kristoffer Ajer and sets up Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo for a low drive across Scott Bain and in off the far post.

    Game on!

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 65mins

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Celtic

    How are Celtic going to break Thistle down? In the last few weeks, they've really struggled to break defences down. I think they've got to get the ball wider and get the wide players on the ball in a one-v-one situation

    Mikey Johnston shows his pace on the counter-attack and, although the Thistle defence opens up before him and he finds himself inside the penalty area, the striker loops his cross-come-shot over the bar.

    Jack Storer’s challenge on Scott Brown - for which he was booked - looked a horror one from where I’m standing. But the Celtic captain is clearly made of girders.

    Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo sees the headlines as he gathers the ball in space 30 yards out, but he fluffs his shot a few yards wide.

  20. YELLOW CARD Jack Storerpublished at 47mins

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Celtic

    It's not often that Scott Brown comes off worse in a challenge.

    The reward for Thistle forward Jack Storer is a deserved booking as the Celtic midfielder writhes in agony before making his usual recovery.
