CELTIC ON CLOUD 9
8 successive wins despite a lengthy injury list, and last night Celtic had the opportunity to make it 9 in a row against a Kilmarnock side that has slumped in recent weeks.
Manager Gordon Strachan was, once again, without a host of first team regulars, but maintained a back four that has looked sturdy in recent weeks. Andreas Hinkel and Mark Wilson have played a major part in this defensive solidarity, and once again excelled as the Hoops eased to a comfortable 3-0 victory.
Wilson - reliable performer once more

NO REST FOR THE CHAMPIONS
As the games continue to pile up, so does Celtic's injury list. Shaun Maloney's second half substitution due to a dead leg on Saturday added to manager Gordon Strachan's woes.
Missing Artur Boruc, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Marc Crosas, Aiden McGeady and Georgios Samaras the Bhoys have performed admirably in recent weeks and will be keen to continue their rich vein of form.
Gordon Strachan will need to decide if he is to include any of his returning injured, as early indications are that Nakamura, Loovens and Samaras have a good chance of making the squad to face Kilmarnock.

Celtic Walk On
After 90 nail-biting minutes of European action midweek, SPL Champions Celtic reverted to concentrating upon domestic affairs. The Bhoys were keen to continue a run of league form that had seen them soar to the top of the table, without dropping a single point since August.
Starting two points ahead of main challengers Rangers, Saturday’s encounter against Mark McGhee’s Motherwell was sure to provide a stern test for Gordon Strachan’s men – especially in the face of an extensive injury list that only seems to get worse with every passing week.
Still missing front-line strikers Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Georgios Samaras, Strachan once again was reliant upon young Cillian Sheridan to partner ex-Motherwell talisman...
Celtic vs Motherwell
Following Wednesday night’s exhausting battle with Manchester United, Celtic will have to exert themselves again as Motherwell travel to Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon. The last time the two teams met Mark McGhee’s team pulled off an incredible win with just ten men, helping them into third place in the SPL and to a place in Europe.
Gordon Strachan has pulled his team together following the disappointments of this season’s Champions League and has won every SPL match that follows a midweek game in Europe. With so many good performances on Wednesday night, against such illustrious opponents, it should hopefully just be a case of maintaining momentum.
Celtic are in excellent form in the league having won their last seven...
The Night 'The Bhoys' Became Men
Celtic 1 v 1 Manchester United
Battle of Britain round 2 finishes all square at Parkhead as the heroic hosts proved they are more than capable of competing at the highest level of European competition.
A brave and resolute Celtic side looked to be heading for their first victory of this seasons Champions League campaign with a stunning Scott McDonald strike before Ryan Giggs broke the home fan's hearts with a header six minutes from time. It was lucky 13 for McDonald as the little Aussie striker received a perfectly cushioned Gary Caldwell header into his path on the 13th minute, took one touch and despatched his finish with both composure and clinical accuracy. The Celtic fans were sent into raptures.
