Here is how we predict Celtic and Partick Thistle will line up this week:

To be played on Thursday 18th May 2017 at 18:45. Venue: Firhill Stadium,

Odds: Partick Thistle 9/1, Draw 9/2, Celtic 1/4

Celtic travel to Firhill Stadium this week to take on Partick Thistle in their latest Scottish Premiership match.

The Bhoys won the league at a canter and already have 100 points on the board, but they will want to maintain their winning streak ahead of the Scottish Cup final and Partick are unlikely to get off lightly on Thursday evening.

In early team news, Celtic have Scott Brown in contention but striker Moussa Dembele is unlikely to be risked having only recently returned to light training.

As for Partick, they are without long-term absentees Jason Banton, Gary Fraser, Sean Welsh, Stuart Bannigan and Ryan Scully.

There is better news regarding Mustapha Dumbuya, who is available if called upon.

Partick are currently sixth in the table and could finish one place higher if results go their way this week and at the weekend.

Here is how we expect Partick and Celtic to line up later this week:
