Partick Thistle v Celtic: team news, referee, KO time & where to watch | OneFootball

Celtic face Partick Thistle in the Quarter Final of the Premier Sports Cup. The Scottish Champions travel across Glasgow to face Mark Wilson’s Championship side in order to secure a place at Hampden.

Team News

Vil Sinisalo is expected to come back into the starting XI after playing in the last round.

Kieran Tierney has been training and could come back into the squad. Although, the manager may be keen to continue with Marcelo Saracchi at left back, especially given the trip to Belgrade during the week.

Colby Donovan will start at right back with Alistair Johnston and Tony Ralston still out.

Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers are expected to start in the central pairing. However, Dan Murray may have an outside chance of starting alongside one of the regulars.

In midfield, expect skipper Callum McGregor to start alongside Reo Hatate and Arne Engels. Hopefully Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan will get time on the pitch as they look to stake a claim for the midfield.

In attack, expect Daizen Maeda to start through the middle with Seb Tounekti out wide with James Forrest. Kelechi Iheanacho netted the winner at Rugby Park and he’ll look to make an impact from the bench.

Predicted XI: Sinisalo; Saracchi, Scales, Carter-Vickers, Donovan; McGregor, Hatate, Engels; Tounekti, Maeda, Forrest.
