The Hoops return to league action this weekend with statistically the toughest away day on the domestic calender, when they travel to take on Livingston at Almondvale.

After what can only be described as a disasterous second half showing in Rotterdam on Tuesday, the Celtic support will be keen to see a quick and immediate response in an effort to move on.

And while a return to domestic matters might on paper seem an easier proposition, the away trip to Almondvale has all too often proven to be...​

The Champions League is back, and Celtic begin their campaign with an away trip across to the Netherlands to face the Eredivisie Champions, Feyenoord, on Tuesday evening.

The Hoops took another step in finding their groove on Saturday, with a 3-0 win over Dundee. In truth, the win could've been even more comprehensive, but for hitting the woodwork on multiple additional occasions, and even then only through a much improved second half display.

One of the positives taken from Saturday for the Bhoys will be...​

Celtic return to League action following the International break. when they welcome the recently promoted Dundee side to Paradise this weekend.

The Bhoys will be keen to build on their derby win success from just before the break, which resulted in them sitting atop the league table - albeit still very early in the season and no silverware is handed out in September.

The break would've been a welcome one for Brendan Rodgers, who will have had time to help integrate the new signings into...​

The first Glasgow derby of the season is upon us, and Celtic will be looking to steal an early advantage in the race for the League title when these two foes meet tomorrow.

It's safe to say it has been an inauspicious start to Brendan Rodgers' second stint in charge of the club, and are going into this game under some pressure, having failed to find the back of the net in consecutive games against Scottish opposition for the first time since April 2019.

The Hoops will need to be prepared to be much more clinical in front of goal as well as...​

The Hoops return to League action and will be looking to bounce back when they welcome the visit of St Johnstone to Paradise tomorrow.

That all said, Celtic should be confident of a return to winning ways, as they have been undefeated in this fixture since 2016 and have won each of the last 8 meetings between these sides.

However, there is no escaping the fact there are problems at both ends of the pitch that need to be addressed, after the underwhelming performance and 1-0 loss away at Kilmarnock...​
