Heartless Hoops
Full in the knowledge that arch-rivals Rangers had dropped a crucial two further points in Saturday’s early SPL kick off, Scottish Champions Celtic had the opportunity to increase their lead at the top of the table to six points.
Playing at home, they faced a Heart of Midlothian outfit that has thrived under the tutelage of new gaffer, Csaba Laszlo. It was Hearts who started proceedings far more brightly than their counterparts, who once again seemed to be struggling from the now customary post-European hangover. Having performed so admirably against Villarreal midweek, Celtic produced one of the most lacklustre first half performances witnessed in recent times.

WELCOME TO THE M&M SHOW
Celtic went out of Europe with their heads held high on wednesday night as they thrashed Spanish giants Villarreal.
Celtic were looking to go out of Europe in style, and they sure did. From the off, the atmosphere at Parkhead was brilliant, the fans were right behind their team and encouraged them to attack. The stadium wasnt full however, with only 50,000 Celtic fans there, with it usually being full with more than 60,000 fans.
Maloney: Took goal well
Villarreal also had goalscoring chances, but failed to find the back of the net. They continued to try...

Celtic attacked and all the hard work payed off with a goalkeeping blunder from Villareal Viera, gave Shaun Maloney a chance to score with a terrific header.

13, Lucky for some
Celtic today set out to make it a fabulous 13 wins on the trot in the SPL, which would prove unlucky for today's opponents.
Hibs are the next side in the sights of the champions as they look to continue this relentless run of form that has propelled them to poll position in the league.
The two sides have provided some of the greatest SPL games, and earlier this season Celtic won 4-2 at Parkhead.
It is always a test when The Hoops come to the capital, and today should be no different. Celtic will be looking to put the gap back up to 7 points, after Rangers won 7-1 yesterday against struggling Hamilton Accies.
The biggest threat to Celtic's chances will be the latest star to come off the Hibs production line, Steven Fletcher.
Fletcher has attracted the interest of several big clubs over the last 12 months, including Real Madrid, and has a...

The Bhoys Bounce Back
After the vast disappointment of midweek, which saw the SPL Champions eliminated from European competition this season, the pressure was on Gordon Strachan’s men to maintain their fine run of domestic form that had seen them rack up 11 consecutive victories.
Defeat in Aalborg has proved a bitter pill to swallow; having dominated the majority of proceedings in Denmark, the least the Bhoys deserved was an opportunity for a UEFA Cup run. Nonetheless, with automatic qualification to the group stages of next year’s champion’s league guaranteed for this season’s SPL victors, finishing the league in 1st place is as pivotal as always.
With arch rivals having lost their lunchtime match against a rejuvenated Hearts side, Celtic had an...
Highland Hangover Cure?
Celtic return from a gut wrenching European exit at the hands of Aalborg on Champions League match day 5 intent on continuing their stellar domestic form on the road to four title's in a row.
Craig Brewster brings his Inverness Caledonian Thistle side down from the highlands looking to cause a major upset at Parkhead with a side that in recent years has always been an awkward proposition for the SPL champions. A run of abysmal form for his side was abruptly halted last weekend as he watched an energetic Caley beat Kilmarnock at Rugby Park 2-1.
Brewster - visits Parkhead on Saturday
Gordon Strachan on the other hand will be hoping there is no fallout from the crippling blow midweek and that his squad can...
