When news spread through the city of a Premier Sports Cup quarter-final Glasgow derby, Partick Thistle vs Celtic wasn't what most punters had in mind.
The Hoops and Old Firm rivals Rangers were separated again but Brendan Rodgers' side still have a tasty meeting with the Jags at Firhill this weekend.
It's been a while since the Scottish champions have visited Maryhill - five years in fact, when Celts edged out 2-1 winners in the Scottish Cup.
On paper, it should be a routine victory for the holders against Championship opposition, but Mark Wilson's squad have nothing to lose as they dream of pulling off a monumental cup upset and booking their place at Hampden.
