Star player must start every game: Three things learned from Celtic win v Partick
COMMENT
Celtic returned to action for the first time since losing their 69-game unbeaten run at the hands of Hearts as they took on Partick Thistle at Celtic Park on Wednesday night.
The Hoops recorded a 2-0 win as Alan Archibald’s side were brushed aside as Brendan Rodgers side ground out a win.
Stuart Armstrong’s first-half strike gave Brendan Rodgers’ side a 1-0 lead after 35 minutes before Kieran Tierney doubled Celtic’s lead in the second-half.
It was far from a top performance from the Hoops as they got back to winning ways after their first defeat since May 2016 but the champions picked up the three points.
The win extends the Hoops’ lead over Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership to six points ahead of facing Derek McInnes side on Saturday.
Rangers visit Celtic Park on December in a match that could effectively end the Gers season.
