NINE goals in two games suggests Celtic aren't going to give up their Invincibles tag without a fight.
A 5-0 Betfred Cup romp against Killie with a young team made it 50 domestic games unbeaten for Brendan Rodgers's side
Celtic head to Firhill tonight and even if the manager has an eye on Astana on Wednesday in the Champions League play-offs it should be a convincing victory.
The Hoops are no bigger than 1-4 with McBookie to win so again we're going to have look at handicaps for value.
Against Hearts and Killie I tipped Celtic to win by at least three and bookies are giving opponents a two-goal start as the norm.
Celtic have won seven in a row at Firhill, scoring 23 goals, and last season triumphed 5-0 and 4-1.
Thistle are a decent outfit who will be competing for a top-six place but I like Celtic -2 Asian at 15-11 with McBookie. You'll get the stake back for a two-goal win or risk the straight -2 handicap at 15-8 with McBookie.
Celtic and over 2.5 match goals looks a sound bet at 5-6 with BetStars and I'm happy to take 15-8 for Celtic/over 3.5.
Thistle will be more confident after their 3-0 Betfred Cup win at St Johnstone and could contribute to the goals tally. Chris Erskine has started the season well but Kris Doolan is a doubt. To score the Jags are evens at Betfred.
Leigh Griffiths hit two against Killie and if he starts is worth backing at 11-4 with William Hill to score first.

Griffiths to score first
In December 2020 we sadly 
it really is sad to see the spl be so uncompetitive at least in the old days you had two teams competing now daysceltic have won the league by december
Celtic tend to come out strong for the 2nd half regardless of the score at the break. Here’s a wee in-play tip that has come in the past couple games for me.
Wait till half time then back celtic to score before the 60th minute. On skybet the market is “team to score in interval 46-60” and odds are normally between 2/1 & 3/1. Different bookies will have different titled markets but you get the idea.
Best of luck all
Only concern tonight is if they get the job done first half may take their foot off the gas with Astana in mind.
Rodgers fielded a weakened team on Tuesday and they still beat Killie 5-0.
He may do so again but the Friday game helps Celtic and anyone concerned about the line-up should hold their best until it’s revealed.
PARTICK THISTLE VS CELTIC TIPS
Celtic should dominate tonight’s game. I see a 4-1 or 5-1 victory. I’m going for a couple of goalscorers tonight and I’ve also found an absolute bunker of a bet. First I’m going with Lustig First Goalscorer @ 30/1 and Anytime @ 11/1. Thinking Thistle will score I’m taking a risk on Chris Erskine. He’s 28/1 to score first with Bet365 which is a stand out double the odds of all other bookies who go 14/1. I’m going to back him ew as that’s decent odds. Now here’s the absolute bumper of a bet. Griffiths is on fire just now and could easily notch a couple of goals against Thistle. You can back him to score anytime from outside the box which is very good as this includes free kicks. He’s 9/2 at 888sport but a huge 12/1 with Skybet. I have no idea what Skybet are thinking but the price will surely be cut st some point today.
