The Final Countdown
After a comfortable defeat of Aberdeen yesterday the Dons will provide our first post match opposition as we make the trip up to Pittodrie for a 12:30 kick off on Saturday May 2nd. Our last visit to Aberdeen resulted in a 4-2 defeat and the Bhoys will be looking to make amends this time around.
As previously announced the second post split fixture will be the final Old Firm game of the season at Ibrox on Saturday May 9th, again with a 12:30 kick off. A wonderful strike by Scott McDonald was enough to split the sides in our last encounter in Govan, and more of the same would see Celtic well on their way...

Celtic restored their 4 point advantage over Rangers at the top of the SPL today with a 2-0 win over Aberdeen at Celtic Park. The Bhoys started the game well, holding most of the possession early in the game.
The first chance of the game fell to Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, when Lee Naylor played a dangerous through ball which brought Aberdeen keeper Jamie Langfield out of his box to try to deal with it. After miss-controlling the ball he put himself under pressure and the Big Dutchman forced...
A TIME FOR COOL HEADS
6 games to play, 18 points to play for. The race for the SPL title moves up another notch at Celtic Park this weekend as Aberdeen make the journey to Glasgow's east end for what promises to be another tough encounter for the Hoops.
Celtic will hope to continue with their good form on home soil, a mightily impressive 15 goals without reply have been served up by Gordon Strachan's men at Parkhead since the turgid stalemate with Rangers, and with the title race so closely poised, goal difference may well prove to be the deciding factor in a season where both of Scotland's big two have flattered to deceive with increasing regularity.
Cast your mind's back to September and Celtic's late late show at a rain soaked Parkhead, it may have been fortunate, it may have been deserved, but whatever way you look at it, it was undeniably...
Hearts Vs Celtic
Celtic will be hoping to maintain there excellent run of form in a tough fixture against Hearts at Tynecastle. Celtic have been in fine scoring form of late winning the previous two games 4-0 against Hamilton and Falkirk respectively to maintain the three point advantage over Rangers at the top of the SPL.
Georgios Samaras is out for Celtic with a thigh strain picked up against Falkirk at the weekend. Scott Brown, Darren O'Dea and Stephen McManus are all doubtful after also picking up knocks during the 4-0 win over Falkirk on Wednesday.
Paul Hartley is set to return from a hamstring injury but Shaun Maloney and John Kennedy are not ready despite resuming training.
Hartley set to return
Hearts striker Gary Glen is battling to feature after suffering an ankle knock on reserve duty this week, but otherwise...
GORGEOUS GEORGIOS
After the end of the International break, it was a return to domestic affairs for Gordon Strachan’s Celtic outfit, as they looked to stretch their lead at the top of the SPL table.
Playing against Hamilton Accies – with manager Billy Reid at the helm – three points were seen as a must; especially as arch-rivals Rangers were not due to play until the following day.
The match was anticipated as being a case of one-way traffic for the defending champions, and this soon proved to be the case. Striker Georgios Samaras – the victim of much adverse publicity alongside partner Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink following their lack of goals – was the beneficiary of clever play from Andreas Hinkel. Samaras’s composed finish belied...
