Scorers: Mbuyi-Mutombo;  Griffiths, Dembele, Rogic

Views from the two managers:

Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "We decided to sit off them, we didn't think we had the legs to deal with their pace. We got a lift with the goal, but we switched off twice in the last 15 minutes, which killed us. The young lads equipped themselves well." 

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "We haven't played well but we got the job done. It was two fantastic balls in by Cristian Gamboa and two really good finishes. Both full-backs were very good; Emilio Izaguirre was fantastic given he's been away so long."

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.

Season:  2015/16
SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue:  CELTIC PARK

CELTIC    1    PARTICK THISTLE    0
Scorers: Griffiths

A last minute goal for 10 man Celtic sent the home fans home happy but the overall quality of Celtic's performance was still way below Celtic standard.

For much of the match Thistle were the more enterprising team, forcing corner after corner and Craig Gordon the busier of the two keepers.

Personal note: 25th match of season; 23 involving Celtic.  My 33rd match between the sides - 28 in SPL.

Celtic take another step towards the title in a milestone match for myself.  Like a few games this season it should have been by a far bigger margin with a number of good chances squandered.

Kick off

Celtic Park - Sky Box

Personal note:

40th match of the season - 28 Celtic & 12 non Celtic

35th Partick game overall with 28 in Premier League

CELTIC    1    PARTICK THISTLE    0

Scorer: van Dijk

Second meeting of the Glasgow sides at Celtic Park this season but no repeat of the six goals scored in the League Cup tie.

Overall - my 31st match between these two - 26 in League.
First of these matches was in 1982 when I watched the first from the "Jungle" first half anyway before moving as you could in '82 to the behind the goal at the old "Rangers end".  Thistle were 2-0 up before a late comeback forced a 2-2 draw.

The new Glasgow derby

Played in terrible conditions as heavy rain drenched Celtic Park for the entire 90 minutes.  Thistle played the match as a derby but Celtic failed to rise to the occasion and were very fortunate to record another victory.

 

 

Personal note:

31st Partick Thistle match - 25th in SPL
