CHRIS TO CONTINUE WITH THE KILL-EN TOUCH?

Celtic will look to consolidate their lead at the top of the SPL on Saturday lunchtime as they make the short trip to Paisley to face St Mirren, In what will be the Hoops first return to the Buddies new stadium since the disappointing exit from the Scottish Cup back in early March.

Tony Mowbray's men, fresh from a comfortable 4-0 victory at Falkirk in the CIS Cup on Wednesday will be hoping to put some early pressure on rivals Rangers as they look to set the pace in their bid to bring the Championship back to Parkhead.


A forgetful day last time round

Mowbray made eight changes for that league cup victory in a bid to keep the squad fresh, and no doubt will have been impressed by some of the attacking play shown by the likes of Niall McGinn and Paddy McCourt, both of whom will be looking for a starting birth...

Celtic rely on Paddy Power, as McGeady worries increase.


Celtic booked their place in the last eight of the League Cup last night, thanks to a magical performance from midfield maestro Paddy McCourt.

McCourt, purchased from Derry City last year, was in inspirational form as he probed Falkirk’s defence from start to finish. While Celtic gaffer Tony Mowbray had rung the changes – no fewer than eight players omitted from the weekend victory against Hearts – it was the Northern Irishman who ensured there were no slip-ups, with the most scintillating of displays.

Kiwi to Continue Killen Spree?


This evening’s League Cup encounter against Falkirk should, in theory, be a match Tony Mowbray’s Celtic win at a canter. Eddie May’s outfit lie bottom of the SPL table - two consecutive draws providing them with their only points of the season – while the Bhoys sit on top after an impressive start which has seen them drop only two points in this campaign.

Nonetheless, injuries to strikers Marc-Antoine Fortune and Georgios Samaras mean that Mowbray has been forced to place his trust in Kiwi hitman Chris Killen.

Celtic 2 - 1 Hearts
Sunday 20th September, 2009

Celtic scraped back from a goal behind against Hearts yesterday to claim all three points in a closely-fought affair. It was more a dose of good luck, rather than the raised second half performance that turned the game in the home side's favour, with Hearts boss Csaba Lazlo bemused by the amount of added-time and outraged by Lee Wallace’s decision to let a loose ball roll out for the decisive corner.


Suso Stuns Celtic

Having dismally capitulated in the stifling Tel-Aviv heat midweek, there was little sign of rejuvenation as Celtic fell behind after only five minutes. Suso Sentana, having picked the ball up in his own half eased past Scott Brown. Upon...

“If you’ve got international footballers and you play in European competition you have to get on with it. You can’t have it both ways. We’ve got a squad of players and we’ll try and utilise them and get a positive performance at the weekend.”
