Celtic and Partick Thistle lock horns at Parkhead tonight as Celtic look to extend their unbeaten run this season.

The champions welcome back Scott Brown from suspension, however Tom Rogic is struggling with an ankle knock and James Forrest and Kieran Teirney remain out.

Partick Thistle will have late fitness tests on defensive duo Adam Barton and Danny Devine.

Mustapha Dumbuya, Ryan Scully, Gary Fraser and Staurt Bannigan remain long term absentees for The Jags.

Brendan Rodgers however has indicated that he could make a host of changes and could welcome some under 20’s prospects into the first team.

Celtic’s youngest ever player and goalscorer, Jack Aitchison could be welcomed into the squad.

Calvin Miller, Anthony Ralston and Kristopher Ajer, who have been training with the first team are also vying for a start against Thistle.

Celtic come into the game still unbeaten in Scotland and look to extend their unbeaten start in the league to 17 games.

Thistle come into the game looking to put right a 6 game win less run but can take heart from an impressive point away at Tynecastle in a game which they really should have won.

Rued misses, hitting the woodwork and an inspired Jack Hamilton meant Thistle had to settle for a point.

And for all of Thistle’s nice football that’s why they are at the wrong end of the table.

Thistle often dominate their games and have the majority of chances but a lack of a prolific goalscorer is costing them dear.

Thistle manager Alan Archibald knows exactly how tough the game will be at Parkhead:

“We know what we did poorly in the last game, (against Celitc) and if we can rectify them then it gives us a chance.”

He added: “It will be tough for them to remain unbeaten. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s down to the rest of the teams to stop that happening. We’ll give it a go.”

Brendan Rodgers spoke about the prospect of bringing in some youth to the squad:

“I can have a look at my squad and see if there are any young players who can come in.”

He continued: “My job coming here was fundamentally to win trophies, to play attacking football the Celtic way and to bring young players through.”

It will be a tightly contested midweek Glasgow derby, with Celtic going through a horrendous run of games in such a short period of time and Thistle vying for points to lift them off bottom.

Ultimately though I can see no further than a Celtic victory.
