Celtic's Scottish Premiership game away to Glasgow rivals Partick Thistle on New Year's Day has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, the clubs announced on Twitter.

"Today's SPFL Premiership match against Partick Thistle at Firhill has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch," Celtic said in a statement on their Twitter page.

"A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course."

The postponement of the game means that Celtic will be overtaken at the top of the table if Aberdeen defeat St Johnstone at Pittodrie later on Thursday.
