Celtic’s developmental side take on Partick Thistle today in the Glasgow Cup with the Karamoko Dembele getting a start for the bhoys.
The Glasgow Derby kicks off at 2:30pm at Lennoxtown and it’s sure to be a cracker of a game with some notable young players in the mix.

Former Arsenal protege leads the line for the bhoys and the returning Jack Aitchison is back in the mix.
Celtic have a strong side but will be without Daniel Arzani who has played the last few games with the developmental side. The little Australian is training with the first team at Murrayfield and was unavailable for selection.
Karamoko Dembele is making his reserve debut at the age of just 15. The Celtic coaching staff must feel the player is ready to take the next step.
The bhoy has a lot of hype around him and it’s up to Celtic to manage the young lad and keep him sheltered from all the noise.
All the best to the bhoys in the Glasgow Cup this afternoon.
