Celtic return to action from the winter break to take on Partick Thistle in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup. Neil Lennon has named a strong side although he has experimented with the formation at the same time by starting Ntcham, Rogic, McGregor and Brown together in midfield while also starting Griffiths and Edouard together in a front two.

New signing Patryk Klimala is on the bench today and fans will be hoping we get a glimpse of him before the end of the game. Daniel Arzani and Jozo Simunovic are also finally back in the first-team picture after their long injury lay-offs.
