Rodgers: Youngsters to be given a chance

Celtic fans should expect to see some potential stars of the future involved against Partick Thistle tonight, according to boss Brendan Rodgers.

The champions are in the middle of a punishing nine-game December schedule but their 2-1 home win over Dundee on Saturday took them back 11 points clear of Rangers at the top of the Premiership and they have two games in hand over the Ibrox men.

With such a commanding lead on the back of a 20-game unbeaten domestic run, the Northern Irishman is ready to draft in some of his Under-20 squad for the visit of basement boys Jags.

“My job fundamentally coming here was to win trophies, to play attacking football the Celtic way and to bring young players through,” said Rodgers.

“So we will look to see if there are any young players we can maybe look at over the next few games.”
