Celtic will be eager to avoid a cup calamity when they host amateur minnows Buckie Thistle in the fourth round this weekend.

It is the ultimate David and Goliath clash, as the Bhoys top the Scottish Premiership table and were playing in the Champions League earlier this season, while the Jags compete in the Highland League, the fifth tier of Scottish football.

Celtic have been on the wrong end of major cup shocks in the past, as defeats to Clyde in 2006 and Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2000 are the stuff of Scottish football folklore.

Bhoys boss Brendan Rodgers could name a strong XI, as the winter break means his side have not been in competitive action for 19 days, and £3 million January signing Nicolas Kühn might be handed a debut.

Buckie Thistle, who boast world-famous author Stephen King as a fan, head to Glasgow in flying form having won their last eight league games, the latest being a 3-2 success at Huntly last weekend.
