Celtic travel to Partick Thistle in the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, and our betting tips for the match can be backed by punters in a 16/5 bet builder.
The Scottish League Cup quarter-finals continue with Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle hosting Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic on Sunday, with kick-off scheduled for 15:30.
Thistle are in fine form ahead of the clash, having won each of their last four across all competitions. This includes a 2-0 win over Ayr at Firhill in the previous round.
In terms of league performance, they are unbeaten in four since their opening day defeat to St. Johnstone, with last weekend’s win over Airdrieonians propelling them up to third in the table.
Brendan Rodgers’ Bhoys, meanwhile, sit top of the Scottish Premiership after five games and are unbeaten in eight consecutive matches (in regular time) in 2025-26.
Last time out, they sealed a dramatic 2-1 win over Kilmarnock thanks to a late penalty from former Manchester City and Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho.
Celtic head into this weekend’s clash as overwhelming favourites with football betting sites, while Partick Thistle are priced at around 16/1 to advance to the semi-finals with a shock victory.

- Kelechi Iheanacho to Score at Any Time @ 8/11
Celtic to Win Both Halves @ 11/10
Despite their unbeaten record, there is plenty of pressure on Rodgers and his Hoops squad.
They’ll be desperate to put in a shift away at Partick Thistle in the quarter-finals to ease some of that pressure, as if they don’t, the Northern Irish manager could soon depart Celtic Park.
Robbie Keane is currently the favourite to replace him in the next Celtic manager odds market.
Even with rotations expected, the disparity in quality between the Bhoys and Thistle should be clear to see, which is why we’re backing the visitors to win both halves at a price of 11/10.
Both Teams to Score – No @ 4/6
Next up, we’re backing Celtic to keep a clean sheet in Maryhill.
The Bhoys have kept clean sheets in six of their eight competitive matches this term, including against the likes of Aberdeen, Kairat Almaty, Rangers and St Mirren.
Facing a side from the division below, we see this trend continuing on Sunday.
Back ‘Both Teams to Score – No’ with leading bookmakers at a price of around 4/6.
Kelechi Iheanacho to Score at Any Time @ 8/11
Finally, we’re backing last weekend’s hero Iheanacho to score at any time.
The Nigerian stepped up to take an injury-time penalty as he made his debut from the bench last Sunday, and reports suggest that he should be in from the off this time around.
If that is indeed the case and he is leading the line for Rodgers’ side, at a price of 8/11, Iheanacho looks well placed to net in a second successive match for his new club this weekend.
