Fixture: Partick Thistle vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 12:30 (UK time)

Celtic have announced their side and substitutes to take on Partick Thistle in a Scottish Premiership game this afternoon.

Bhoys boss Ronny Deila, who is looking for his side to continue to hold the upper hand in the race for the Premiership title, trusts in striker Leigh Griffiths in attack, while Kris Commons and Gary Mackay-Steven will look to support him. Scott Brown will aim to boss the midfield, while at the back Erik Sviatchenko and Charlie Mulgrew form the central defensive pairing.




On the bench Deila can turn to Colin Kazim-Richards if he needs to bring on another striker, while Patrick Roberts and James Forrest are winger options for the Norwegian to call for.

Celtic head into the game holding a one-point lead at the top of the Premiership table over second placed Aberdeen, but they do also have a game in hand on the Dons.
