Celtic 3 Partick Th 2 and that 'hat trick' by James Forrest ensures the Hoops are in the SC quarter-final draw. However, that Celtic defence needs to be 'shored up' before the team arrives in St Petersburg! Otherwise they are gonna be at the wrong end of a 'thumping' in Russia. Rogic's return from injury on the subs' bench is definitely a welcome boost for Rodgers as I think he is one player who has been sorely missed down the months. Also Roberts' return is imminent and again it should revitalise Celtic's performances in future matches. One highlight to watch for is Kieron Tierney's last min defending just 2 metres off the Celtic goal line to shield the ball from Jags' onrushing forward, Edwards, and nullify any chance of Partick 'nicking' an undeserved draw! This was calm, top class defending by a young Celtic player who will be a future Scotland captain IMO.
