Celtic vs Buckie Thistle LIVE score team news and build-up ahead of the Premiership clash

It's wet and it's windy but the conditions won't faze the Highland League travellers as Buckie Thistle head to Parkhead for the biggest day in many of their players' careers.

Defending champions Celtic kick off their Scottish Cup campaign this afternoon and it's a proper Magic of the Cup occasion with non-league Buckie coming to town.

Brendan Rodgers and his side come in off the back of a winter break and banana-skin might well be overstating the visitors' chances given the 45 places that exist between the two in the league setup. But ask Buckie and they're not going to defend; they're confident and fancy their chances of landing a few body blows against the top side in the country.

Many of the Buckie stars are Celtic fans and the fact they play in green and white hoops is no coincidence with the connection between the two clubs running deep. But boss Graeme Stewart won't be standing for any starstruck respect as his troops go out to cause the Scottish Cup upset to end all Scottish Cup upsets.
