Gung Ho Celtic Gunning For The Gunners
Celtic limbered up for their monumental Battle of Britain clash by beating Aberdeen 3-1 at Pittodrie, only to be trumped by the masterful display of their opponents later that day. Wenger and his young charges marched to Goodison Park and promptly destroyed Everton 6-1, condemning Davie Moyes' troops to their worst home defeat in 50 years into the bargain.
With this in mind, a mixture of delight and trepidation would have enveloped most fans of Celtic come the end of play on Saturday night, as the joy at their teams display only hours earlier was placed into context in brutal fashion as news filtered through of Arsenal's demolition job down South.
Indeed, Mark McGhee, the manager whos side had just been vastly out paced, out manouvered and overall outplayed by Celtic, stated his belief that Celtic could be playing Arsenal at an opportune time in their recent...

FORTUNE ALREADY FAVOURING THE BHOYS
Celtic’s major summer signing, striker Marc-Antoine Fortuné, is still to break his duck in front of goal, but already the fruits of his labour are clear for all to see. Saturday lunchtime’s encounter against a poor Aberdeen outfit saw the Bhoys rack up a 3-0 lead before half time, and while Fortuné did not appear on the score sheet, his all-round performance will have excited the Celtic faithful.
Fortune has oft been on the receiving end of criticism for his failure to convert chances. Nonetheless, he has been brought to Celtic Park for a variety of reasons; most notably to involve a Celtic midfield that has promised so much, but delivered relatively little...
Mowbray's Maestro - the Mighty McGeady
Celtic kicked off their SPL campaign with an emphatic 3-1 victory against Aberdeen today. A goal from Australian International Scott McDonald and a deadly double from wing wizard Aiden McGeady put the Bhoys in a commanding 3-0 lead at half time, but it could easily have been more - McGeady stating at full time that his team mates were disappointed not to be four or five up in the first period.
McGeady's performance was - at times - scintillating. New manager Tony Mowbray has instilled a new confidence in many first teamers; Italian Massimo Donati the greatest benefactor thus far. Nonetheless, McGeady was today's stand out performer. While his - and Celtic's - first was a...
Celtic go back to the future
It may be hard to get the forthcoming Champions League qualifying clash with Arsenal out of the mind, but that is something that Celtic must do if they are to hit the ground running at Aberdeen this weekend, in what will be Tony Mowbray's first SPL game as the Hoops boss.
Tony Mowbray - Looking for winning SPL start
Saturday's game at Pittodrie sees the Hoops come up against a side managed by Mark McGhee, who incidentally was one of the many names linked with the vacant job at Celtic Park following Gordon Strachan's departure at the end of May.
McGhee built up a good reputation at former club Motherwell, taking them to third place in 2008, and there is no doubt that he will be looking for the same from his new charges, although things couldn't have got off to a worse start, the Dons being dumped out of the Europa League...

CELTIC’S LINK TO MAKELELE
Celtic striker Georgios Samaras today paid new Bhoy Landry N’Guemo the highest of compliments. When asked about the combative midfielder, who has impressed greatly since his arrival, Samaras stated:
“I have started calling him Makelele. In the games against Dynamo he was fabulous. He keeps the ball well and is so strong, even though he is only small. He is a very good player, and now we have a strong midfield with Massimo Donati, Landry, Marc Crosas and Scott Brown.”
N'Guemo - has made a great impression...
