TalkCeltic - The Ultimate Celtic FC Forum

The international break is over and normal service has resumed. After two weeks without them, Celtic are back in action against Hearts. A win on Sunday would not only see us continue our unbeaten run but, perhaps more importantly, would see us clinch the league title.

When the sides last met back in January, Celtic won the game 4-0. So should we expect a similar result tomorrow, or will Hearts put up more of a fight in the hope that they can postpone Celtic’s title celebrations for another week?

Damp Squib Derby fails to dampen Hoop spirits

Despite Celtic’s twenty one winning streak coming to an end in the Scottish Premiership to their Glasgow rivals at the weekend, Brendan Rodgers’ men still remain on course for a domestic treble with the possibility of an unbeaten season in domestic football, an incredible feat which thus far is yet to be achieved in the Scottish game. The nature in which Celtic’s run was ended will have left Celtic fans, players and staff bitterly disappointed, as the hoops should have been awarded a penalty right at the death when Clint Hill, scorer of the Rangers equaliser clumsily brought Leigh Griffiths down inside the penalty area.

If truth be told, the game was a poor enough spectacle and Brendan Rodgers will be disappointed that his team lacked the fluency and tempo that has been on show at Parkhead all...

Celts survive 1st half scare to reach Scottish Cup Semi-Finals

4 vs 1

Celtic: Lustig (59') Sinclair (60') St Mirren: Davis (12')
Dembele (67') Griffiths (70')

Brendan Rodgers has today described St Mirren as the "best side we have faced domestically this season" and his side certainly needed all their powers of recovery this afternoon, as a stubborn Buddies team led by Jack Ross gave them a 45 minute scare in front of an expectant home crowd. In the end though, the quality of the champions elect was there for all to see in the...

They silenced the Steelmen last weekend, and now it’s Hamilton turn to face the seemingly unstoppable Celtic. This is the third time the sides have met so far this season, with the last meeting on Christmas Eve ending in a comfortable 3-0 victory for the Hoops. However, that was the past and this is now.

Could Accies be the team to finally topple Celtic, or will they simply be the next victim in their unbeaten run?

Celtic:

The big news going in to this match, as announced by Brendan Rodgers during his press conference on Thursday, is that Leigh Griffiths is set to return to the squad for Saturday’s game. Griffiths, who has found his chances limited in recent times, has...
