Australia international Tom Rogic grabbed his first goal for Celtic as the defending champions moved top of the Scottish Premiership with a 2-0 win at Partick Thistle on Sunday. Rogic, whose time at Celtic has been plagued by injury and interrupted by a loan spell at Melbourne Victory, marked his first start for the Hoops in nearly two years with a fine flicked finish with his heel to open the scoring in the 28th minute.
Kris Commons then showed good awareness to take advantage of a lapse of concentration in the Thistle defence by chipping in Celtic's second in the 63rd minute, sealing a 14th consecutive win over their Glasgow rivals.
The win means Celtic now occupy their familiar position at the top of the league table ahead of newly promoted Hearts - who defeated Dundee 2-1 on Saturday - on goal difference.
Celtic made three changes from their mid-week Champions League qualifier against Qarabag, with Rogic, Commons and Leigh Griffiths coming in for the injured Scott Brown, Gary Mackay-Steven and the suspended Nadir Ciftci.
The Scottish champions showed no signs of a European hangover, with Griffiths quick to test the Thistle defence as he rose at the back post to narrowly direct a header over from an Emilio Izaguirre cross.
Celtic then laid siege to the Thistle goal, with Tomas Cerny making a save from Commons's low drive before holding Griffiths's dipping free-kick. The Thistle shot-stopper was doing his best to keep his side on level terms as he made a point-blank save to deny Griffiths before a rasping 30-yard strike from Virgil van Dijk cracked against the base of the post.
