Celtic starting XI to face Partick Thistle at Firhill

Celtic are in cup action today (Sunday) when they travel across the city to Firhill to take on Partick Thistle in the quarter-final of the Premier Sports Cup. The cup holders are looking to book their place in the last four of the competition they won last season, and Brendan Rodgers has made a number of changes to the side which beat Kilmarnock in the league last weekend. Viljami Sinisalo takes his place between the sticks, while Kieran Tierney returns to the starting XI. The impressive Sebastian Tounekti keeps his place in the team after his Man of the Match performance at Rugby Park, while there’s a first Celtic start for last week’s penalty-kick hero, Kelechi Iheanacho. Kick-off at Firhill is 3.30pm and you can follow the build-up and all the action on the club website’s Match Centre MATCH CENTRE CELTIC: Sinisalo, Donovan, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Tierney, McGregor, Hatate, Nygren, Yang, Iheanacho, Tounekti.Subs: Schmeichel, Balkwisha, McCowan, Engels, Bernardo, Saracchi, Maeda, Murray, ForrestUpcoming FixturesPartick Thistle Vs.
