SCOTTISH CUP 5th Round
Venue: CELTIC PARK
CELTIC 3 PARTICK THISTLE 2
Scorers: Forrest(3); Doolan, Sammon
A James Forrest hat-trick sends Celtic into the Cup quarter final. The victory was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests. Celtic raced into a two goal lead in the opening 10 minutes and by the 54th minute Forrest had completed his hat-trick however Thistle reduced the two goal lead twice on the 20th and 85th minutes.
Pre-match everyone in the ground remember Liam Miller who lost his battle with cancer.

ENGLISH FA CUP 3rd Round
Venue: RIVERSIDE STADIUM
MIDDLESBROUGH 2 SUNDERLAND 0
Scorers: Gestede, Braithwaite
Att: 26,399
My first game of 2018 is an FA Cup tie at a new venue for me - Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium. The game is not up to much, a comfortable win for the home side as Sunderland's poor form continues.
The Middlesbrough team continues a few players from past matches attended - keeper Randolph ex-Motherwell, Adam Clayton previously of Carlisle United and Grant Leadbitter.
Managers: Tony Pulis and Chris Coleman
