Celtic rue lack of Cutting Edge
With arch-rivals Rangers winning the previous day against Kilmarnock, Sunday afternoon's onus was on Gordon Strachan’s Celtic to defeat Motherwell. Playing on what could – at best – be described as a disaster of a playing surface, Strachan’s men were looking to put an end to a run that had seen them take a mere 6 points from an available 15 since the turn of the year.
Recent issues surrounding Celtic’s lack of cutting edge up front were highlighted in only the 3rd minute; a scuffed delivery from the left by Lee Naylor dummied smartly by Australian International Scott McDonald, the return ball received from Georgios Samaras perfectly weighted, but McDonald wildly fired over from short distance.
The abysmal...
Celtic will be looking to shake off their indifferent form of late with a return to the ground that produced one of their best performances of the season.
Back in September Celtic blew Motherwell away in a dominant 45 minute spell which saw the Bhoys race into a 4 goal lead.
The form of the champions lately has been less than glittering and...

Brilliant Boruc back for Bhoys.
The third instalment of this season’s Old Firm encounters saw SPL Champions Celtic face their title challengers Rangers, with Gordon Strachan’s men seeking to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points.
The customary hysteria surrounding the fixture was accentuated still further with ridiculous rumours concerning Bhoys ‘keeper Artur Boruc. Never far from controversy, the Pole has faced criticism from all quarters,...
CELTIC SCRAPE THROUGH TO QUARTER FINALS
News of disharmony amongst Celtic’s ranks took precedence in the weekend press, with confirmation from Gordon Strachan that controversial figures Aiden McGeady and Artur Boruc were indeed involved in an altercation on the training ground.
Boruc - again in the press for the wrong reasons.
Strachan has made assurances that the situation has been dealt with internally, but at a time when Celtic have been performing poorly ON the pitch, this recent off the park debacle could not have come at a worse time. Fans of the Bhoys will be hoping this bust-up between two of the club’s...
CELTIC v QUEEN'S PARK
A place in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup is at stake this Saturday, as Celtic take on minnows Queen’s Park. On paper, this 5th round encounter should not provide too stiff a test for Gordon Strachan’s men – nevertheless, the Bhoys will be taking nothing for granted as they continue their pursuit of a domestic treble.
After seemingly steadying the ship two weeks ago with a comprehensive defeat of Hibernian in the league, Celtic continued their indifferent run of form last weekend. Dropping two further SPL points against bottom of the table Inverness Caledonian Thistle was a bitter pill to swallow; the result saw their arch-rivals Rangers reduce the deficit at the top of the SPL table to a mere two points, but more worrying still will be their profligacy in front of...
