The Hoops make the short journey to Lanarkshire on Saturday, when they take on Stuart Kettlewell's Motherwell, looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Premiership table.

The Bhoys will be looking to add a fourth consecutive league win after their 3-0 victory against Livingston, despite being reduced to 10 men with more than an hour to play.

Fir Park has been something of a happy hunting ground for the Bhoys over the past few years. Indeed, home and away the Hoops have dominated this fixture and after having had the full week off...​

February: Kyogo fires home in the 3-0 win at Paradise the last time these sides met

The Hoops return to league action this weekend with statistically the toughest away day on the domestic calender, when they travel to take on Livingston at Almondvale.

After what can only be described as a disasterous second half showing in Rotterdam on Tuesday, the Celtic support will be keen to see a quick and immediate response in an effort to move on.

And while a return to domestic matters might on paper seem an easier proposition, the away trip to Almondvale has all too often proven to be...​

The Champions League is back, and Celtic begin their campaign with an away trip across to the Netherlands to face the Eredivisie Champions, Feyenoord, on Tuesday evening.

The Hoops took another step in finding their groove on Saturday, with a 3-0 win over Dundee. In truth, the win could've been even more comprehensive, but for hitting the woodwork on multiple additional occasions, and even then only through a much improved second half display.

One of the positives taken from Saturday for the Bhoys will be...​

Celtic return to League action following the International break. when they welcome the recently promoted Dundee side to Paradise this weekend.

The Bhoys will be keen to build on their derby win success from just before the break, which resulted in them sitting atop the league table - albeit still very early in the season and no silverware is handed out in September.

The break would've been a welcome one for Brendan Rodgers, who will have had time to help integrate the new signings into...​

The first Glasgow derby of the season is upon us, and Celtic will be looking to steal an early advantage in the race for the League title when these two foes meet tomorrow.

It's safe to say it has been an inauspicious start to Brendan Rodgers' second stint in charge of the club, and are going into this game under some pressure, having failed to find the back of the net in consecutive games against Scottish opposition for the first time since April 2019.

The Hoops will need to be prepared to be much more clinical in front of goal as well as...​
