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.

HOOPS WARY OF MAN U THREAT
This coming Wednesday sees the European Champions Manchester United come to Glasgow for what promises to be a mouth watering occasion, as part two of the 'Battle of Britain' takes centre stage on Champions League match day 4.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men have been in good form as of late, currently lying 3rd in the Premiership after a well fought win against Hull City at the weekend. Celtic have also been excelling domestically, sitting top of the SPL, and 3 points infront of rivals Rangers. They will be seeking to keep it tight at the back, not allowing...

NO HEARTS IN MOUTHS FOR HOOPS
Celtic fans could have been forgiven for having half an eye on Wednesday’s up and coming Champion’s league fixture against Manchester United; however, this was a luxury that Gordon Strachan’s men could ill afford when on Sunday they faced a Heart of Midlothian team with plenty of points to prove.
With new manager Csaba Laszlo at the helm, the Jambos have appeared far more settled of late – this despite a recent run of league form that has been less than encouraging. Tynecastle always provides a tough test, and Celtic were determined to continue their streak of domestic form that had seen them rack up eight consecutive wins.
