Partick prepare to entertain Glasgow Celtic at Firhill Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 20 of the 100 games played, and losing 62.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Firhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
