James Forrest stepped up in a big way against Dundee to show that his star performance at Hampden against Aberdeen last week was no flash in the pan. The experienced winger is ready to play his part in the run-in and Celtic's No.49 couldn't have timed it any better. Whilst Forrest is flying, fellow Academy graduate Callum McGregor has found himself out of sorts following his own return from injury...

Celtic have made a habit of 3-3 draws in recent weeks though on this occasion a penalty shootout would follow with man of the moment Joe Hart proving to be the Hoops hero on the day. It's been some weekend for the nan who turned 37 on Friday and he now knows his long and illustrious career will end with the showpiece finale at Hampden park on Saturday 25th of May.

🍀 Celtic head to Hampden on Saturday where they take on Aberdeen with a place in this season's Scottish Cup Final at stake.

A week can be a long time in football. Rangers had the chance to leapfrog Celtic into top spot with a win in last week's derby at Ibrox, but failure to do so (do "moral victorys" count?) has cost them badly. Further failure in Dingwall by Phillipe Clement's men has now left the Hoops with a four point lead in the title race as a Reo Hatate inspired performance ensured it was the green side of Glas...

It was vital that Celtic followed up last week's perfomance at Ibrox with a win over St Mirren today and that's exactly what they done with a convincing display against the Paisley side. Conditions played their part in the first half but the Hoops came out the traps after the break to fire home three goals without reply as they extended their lead at the top of the table. Brendan Rodgers was in bu...

🍀 Celtic take on St Mirren in the final game before the split and with it comes the chance to open up a 4 point lead at the Scottish Premiership table.

With just six league games now remaining the Bhoys know exactly what's required if a third successive title is to be achieved and will take great confidence from their performance against Rangers, and in particular across the first half. We c...

Despite holding the lead at various points in the game Celtic had to ultimately settle for a share of the points on a day of high drama at Ibrox. Six goals and two penalties tell some of the story as Brendan Rodgers' side took the game to their Glasgow rivals before securing their 7th point across this season's three derbies so far. Yes there's disappointment at not holding out for the win, but ul...

After a stop/start season Reo Hatate returned against Livingston at the weekend and the classy midfielder is now eyeing a bigger prize after playing his part in the 3-0 win. He was supported on the day by stand-in skipper Cameron Carter-Vickers - a man who's had his own injury issues - and both will be vital at Ibrox at the weekend as the Hoops look to stretch their lead at the top of the table. A...

With just 8 games remaining we take a look at what lies in store for Celtic as they tar...

Celtic returned to the top of the table with Saturday's 3-1 win over St Johnstone and will remain there for the next couple of weeks at least with the postponement of Dundee v Rangers. Kyogo led the way v the Perth side and looks to be rediscovering his form at a crucial stage in the campaign. He was ably supported on the day by Nicolas Khun who put in another man of the match performance as he sh...

Kyogo Furuhashi looked far more like himself at Celtic Park against St Johnstone as he inspired the Bhoys to another vital three points in the title race. His first half header opened the scoring before an assist for Khun at the start of the second half put Brendan Rodgers' side in control. The woodwork and a couple of offside calls prevented him from adding to his tally but he'll be pleased with...
