Tomorrow is derby day in Glasgow, when the newly crowned Champions make the short trip to the southside and the home of city rivals in a match that is far from meaningless.

The Bhoys wrapped up the Premiership title against Dundee United in style last weekend, with a resounding 5-0 victory. As it turns out, the Celts would've still won the title regardless, after St Mirren kept Sevco to a 2-2 draw in Paisley.

The Hoops may have secured the title for a 4th straight season, but that has not come without it's share of...​

The Hoops will secure the League title for a 4th consecutive season, so long as they are able to avoid defeat against 4th placed Dundee United at Tannadice, this weekend.

While Celtic are currently sitting 15 points clear at the top of the ladder and hold a vastly superior goal difference on their nearest challenger, but nothing can be taken for granted until the job is done, as the Hoops close in on clinching the title.

The Hoops head to Hampden tomorrow, where they will square up against St Johnstone, with the prize of a place in next month's Scottish Cup Final on the line.

Celtic are on the brink of securing the Premiership title after last weekend's resounding 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock, but the immediate attention switches now to the defence of their Scottish Cup crown.

Victory tomorrow would see the Bhoys within touching distance of another potential domestic treble, as they look to join Aberdeen in the end of season showpiece,...​

The Hoops return home to Parkhead for Saturday's lunchtime kick off, with Killie being the visitors and the Hoops still in need of two wins to secure the Premiership title for a 4th straight season.

Hopefully Brendan Rodgers and his side will have learned from the disappointing trip to Perth last week, and are both a little chastized as well as hungrier and motivated to perform after the 1-0 defeat to bottom side, St Johnstone.

The Bhoys are currently 13 points clear at the top of the Premiership ladder...​

The Hoops can take a massive step toward clinching a 4th consecutive Premiership title, when they go up against relegation threatened St Johnstone on Sunday.

After Saturday's results elsewhere, the Bhoys need a maximum of just 2 more wins to seal the deal on what would be a 55th League triumph, as they look to also lay down a marker against the side who they will be facing in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final.

Celtic were in cruise control last week as they secured a 3-0 win against Hearts, with the damage entirely done...​
