Partick Thistle vs Celtic LIVE as Sinisalo, Iheanacho and Yang all start

Twenty-two is the number of times Celtic have lifted the League Cup.

It’s gone under a number of different guises over the years but it’s invariably been the first trophy up for grabs and sure, this time the Premier Sports Cup is again the object of Scottish football’s affection.

Brendan Rodgers will need to master an old Celtic favourite first, of course. Because standing in the way of the Irishman and a place in the semi-finals is former Hoops full-back Mark Wilson, now boss of Partick Thistle.

Title defenders or not, things ain’t all rosy in the garden of Peter Lawwell and Co. Celtic posted their financials on Friday and just riled fans further.

The champions have a lot of money but is their team going to be good enough to jilt the Jags at Firhill today? Will it be good enough to win the title? Probably but that will not be enough to satisfy their fans.

The game promises to be one laced with intrigue, sub plots and perhaps even some mega drama.
