They shipped three to Dundee and five to Kilmarnock recently but Partick Thistle held it together enough to beat Motherwell last week. They are a team fighting for their livelihoods and bear a grudge over a penalty kick decision when we met earlier this season.
Thistle play the role of whipping boys in many eyes tonight but no game is won before kick-off. Celtic need a response after Sunday’s defeat, which will only come through graft and guile. Patience may be required tonight.
Just as importantly, Brendan Rodgers needs to look at selection. He has three games in the next six days, the middle of which is against nearest challengers, Aberdeen. Freshness is needed for each occasion.

Personally I was hoping to see both Ntcham and Kouassi. But whatever team starts, it goes without saying that I will……..well, it goes without saying ,…;-)

Hail Hail.

Right, doors to manual….

May already have been flaggedup but on BT sport tonight ( ch 413) at 9-45pm
Celtic v Real Madrid from 1980
Johnny Doyle immediately comes to mind .
Best of luck to the Bhoys tonight. I thought tonight was an ideal time to freshen up the side but Brendan has gone with the tired and trusted. However, I really think Gordon and Lustig could both do with a rest. Also, Odsonne starting up top again is a real surprise. Welcome to Paradise to Marvin.

CELTIC (4-1-2-3) Gordon; Lustig, Ajer, Boyata, Tierney; Brown; McGregor, Armstrong; Forrest, Edouard, Sinclair.

Interesting bench
Evening all
Got rid of the Jambo.( Splendid chap who mentioned AK before me in fact).
Apologies to Tontine Tim and SFTB if you think I have been a bit short with you guys recently. How can I put it? You are the gold standard and I am mere copper.
I mind that game on 22/12/74 v St Johnstone with so much guilt. The first time I went with my mates not my dad and uncles. We won 3-1 and the Huns lost 4-3 to Airdrie. 10 in a row suddenly seemed assured. Three weeks later the great Paul Wilson ripped Motherwell to shreds and we still lost 3-2 as Big Billy got torn apart by Pettigrew and Graham and 10 in a Row was effectively over despite us having the best squad we had ever had. On paper.
We have the best squad in Scotland by many a tree now but we might not get to 7 in a row. I miss my dad and two of the uncles I swanned off that Saturday 43 years ago . Even a mate from then has gone.
I will meet up with the surviving uncle tomorrow and talk mainly of the Celts. Let us hope it is good news before we talk of those who are gone as well as Big Billy, Dixie, Kenny and the rest.
Whatever, we will still be Tims.
