CRUNCH TIME
Celtic begin the first of five crucial matches in their quest for a fourth successive SPL title, with a trip to Pittodrie on Saturday lunchtime to take on Aberdeen, the same side that the hoops faced in their last fixture a fortnight ago.
Goals from Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Scott McDonald helped Gordon Strachan's men to a comfortable 2-0 victory on that occasion, but Celtic will be fully aware that this Saturday's game will be a much tougher proposition.
McDonald strikes in last encounter
Aberdeen are yet to taste defeat on home soil against the Old Firm this season, and the memories of that disappointing 4-2 reversal in January, which incidentally is the last time Celtic failed to take at least a point from an SPL fixture, will still be on the minds of the Celtic squad,...

CELTIC TO THE EPL - PROS AND CONS
Phil Gartside’s proposed plans for a two-tiered Premier League in England have invoked strong emotions on either side of the fence. The perceived suggestion that both Celtic and arch-rivals Rangers would be involved in these plans has led to a nationwide “pros and cons” debate (or pro et contra, to use the correct Latin derivative.)
A Celtic source said recently: "We're always interested in proposals that could enlarge our revenue base and increase our competitiveness”, yet while Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell himself proclaimed "we don't know the detail, but we'd be obliged to look closer at something like that. We'll see how it develops because these things have happened before and they've not...
The Final Countdown
After a comfortable defeat of Aberdeen yesterday the Dons will provide our first post match opposition as we make the trip up to Pittodrie for a 12:30 kick off on Saturday May 2nd. Our last visit to Aberdeen resulted in a 4-2 defeat and the Bhoys will be looking to make amends this time around.
As previously announced the second post split fixture will be the final Old Firm game of the season at Ibrox on Saturday May 9th, again with a 12:30 kick off. A wonderful strike by Scott McDonald was enough to split the sides in our last encounter in Govan, and more of the same would see Celtic well on their way...

Celtic restored their 4 point advantage over Rangers at the top of the SPL today with a 2-0 win over Aberdeen at Celtic Park. The Bhoys started the game well, holding most of the possession early in the game.
The first chance of the game fell to Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, when Lee Naylor played a dangerous through ball which brought Aberdeen keeper Jamie Langfield out of his box to try to deal with it. After miss-controlling the ball he put himself under pressure and the Big Dutchman forced...
