If I put a12" Celestion Blue in my Fender Supersonic amp.,
Will this speaker hold up to moderately heavy use?
the Celestion Blue is rated for 50 watts
the Fender Supersonic can put out 60 watts.
I don't play cranked, but that doesn't mean someone won't go there.

Hello there,
Don' t use a speaker with a lower rating than your amp's output. Bad idea.
Also, what is the ohm rating. You want to avoid an impedance mismatch.
Later,
Hello again,
You did not specify which model Supersonic you have. The Supersonic 22 combo is an 8 ohm output. Fender puts a 60 watt 8 ohm speaker in the cab with that amp. The Supersonic 60 combo is 4 or 8 ohm selectable. Fender puts a 60 watt 8 ohm speaker in the cab with that amp.
Assuming you have a 60 watt combo. You could use a 60 watt speaker 8 or 4 ohm. If you crank the amp you should have a 100 watt speaker in there (I think about 1.5 times amp output is safest for cranked speakers. You have a tube amp, so no impedance mismatch is safe.
