Manager Gordon Strachan will be keen to continue momentum produced by solid domestic performance's and finally put to bed the nightmare which is their away record in the Champion's League.

CELTIC WIN TAKES TALLY TO 11

Celtic today increased their lead at the top of the league with a very impressive performance against St. Mirren which could be the Bhoys last ever outing at Love Street.

The SPL champions seen the return of Artur Boruc in goal and Strachan sent his side out looking to take control of the game from the first whistle and not concede any silly goals.


Boruc back from injury


St. Mirren started the game very brightly and had a decent couple of chances giving Gordon Strachan's men a drastically required wake up call. Celtic managed to withstand the pressure however and top goal scorer Georgios
Samaras subsequently opened...

Can The Bhoys 'Turn It Up To Eleven'?

Focus switches to Love Street for Celtic this weekend as the SPL champions go in search of their eleventh straight domestic victory on the trot.

A run which began all the way back on the 13th of September against Motherwell and has blazed through to the win last weekend against Hamilton has underpinned a gallop to the top of the table for Strachan's charges.

CELTIC INJURY CLUB

Celtics injury list has extended once again with the news that Paul Hartley and Massimo Donati have joined the ever increasing list of casualties.

Paul Hartley, 32 could miss the game with St Mirren as he was forced out of the international friendly with Argentina just before the hour. Few will argue that Paul Hartley has been enjoying a good run of games for Celtic during this injury crisis, scoring in the last two games for his beloved Hooped heroes.


Massimo Donati, 27 will miss the Aalborg game, having been on the bench in all the Champions League group games so far this season, coming on in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United. He broke his toe in training and Celtic have yet to confirm how long they will be without the ex-AC Milan midfielder....

Hartley is the hero as Celtic win again

It is often said that the mark of champions is the ability to win when not at your best. On today's evidence, Celtic showed they are more than capable of notching up a fourth straight league title.

Winning ugly was the order of the day and the Celtic were once again made to wait until late in the day to seal the points - courtesy of a Paul Hartley strike.
