Young gun Arzani got his first minutes on the pitch after nearly 15 months out with an anterior crucial ligament injury sustained cruelly on his Scottish Premiership debut for the Bhoys.

A combination of injuries, departures and other absences contrived to give Arzani his senior comeback for nine minutes at the end of the clash against Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup fourth round.

He replaced compatriot Rogic, who started the match and had a hand in both Hoops goals.

In the first half, Rogic received the ball after a darting run into the box, and while the ball was nipped away from him that dispossession was slammed home by Leigh Griffiths.

His assist came in the 78th minute, laying off to goalscorer Callum McGregor on the edge of the box.

Celtic return to league action against Kilmarnock next Thursday (AEDT).
