When the Bhoys return to action tomorrow, they will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premiershp campaign with a 7th straight league win, when they travel through to Edinburgh to take on Hibernian at Easter Road.

Celtic need to quickly turn their attention back to what could be a tricky trip to the Capital - the second such journey in less than a week - as they look to extend the lead at the top of the table to 10 points, for at least 24hours.

In truth, the Bhoys...​

The Hoops are at home next when they host the La Liga side, Atletico Madrid, in this third fixture of this season's Champions League campaign on Wednesday evening.

Celtic will be looking to record a 6th straight win this weekend in what has been an unbeaten start to the Premiership campaign, when they travel through to Edinburgh to take on 4th placed Hearts.

Celtic made this same trip three times last season. First came 12 months ago, when the Bhoys secured a 4-3 victory when VAR was first introduced, then a 3-0 win on Scottish Cup duty followed by a 2-0 win, which cinched the League title in May.

But there...​

The Hoops will be looking to sign off ahead of the International break with a 5th consecutive Premiership victory, when they host the visit of Kilmarnock on Saturday.

The Bhoys will want to put the disappointment of Wednesday behind them, as well as get a measure of revenge after going out of the League Cup at Rugby Park back in August. As such, there should be no shortage of motivation coming into this game.

Since Brendan Rodgers' return, it is fair to say that the league has been the one competition in which...​

The Hoops return to Paradise on Wednesday evening, as they welcome the visit of Italian side Lazio, for this second match of the Champions League Group Stage.

Saturday's dramatic late 2-1 win over Motherwell was yet another example of the Celts playing to the very last and getting the rewards. In truth it was a largely forgettable performance until the contest was sparked to life with the arrival of Luis Palma from off the bench, who looked to inject some energy and provided a few moments of genuine...​
