Celtic face Thistle this evening

Celtic have the chance to move three points clear at the top of the Premiership when they entertain Partick Thistle on Wednesday night.

Celtic have the chance to move three points clear at the top of the Premiership when they entertain Partick Thistle on Wednesday night.

Ronny Deila's men currently lead on goal difference from Inverness CT, with Alan Archibald's team in ninth place, five points outside the top six.

Tonight's game was originally scheduled for Saturday August 9 but was postponed as Celtic Park was unavailable due to Glasgow 2014.

The teams met at Parkhead in the League Cup at the end of October, with Celtic winning 6-0. John Guidetti hit a hat-trick as Thistle suffered after Stuart Bannigan was sent off in the first half.

Both sides go into the game on the back of good wins in the William Hill Scottish Cup. Celtic saw off Hearts 4-0 at Tynecastle and will travel to Dundee in round five while Thistle's reward for a 2-0 win over Hamilton Accies at Firhill is another home tie with Inverness CT.

Celtic won all three meetings last season and the Jags haven't beaten their Glasgow rivals since 1994/95.
