Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

They say you should exit every transfer window in a stronger position than you began. So did we? The vast majority of Celtic supporters would say no, with just Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah (on loan) to show for our efforts in terms of new arrivals. Some fringe players have made exits, and yes we've retained matt O'Riley and Cameron carter-Vickers (for now!) but could you really call this window any...

Amongst all the noise surrounding Celtic's bemusing January transfer window it'd be easy to forget we face another crucial league fixture in under 48 hours. Managerless Aberdeen provide the opposition in Saturday's lunchtime kick off at Pittodrie with Celtic looking to make it 7 wins in a row. Frustratingly, Brendan Rodgers' line-up will have a similar look and feel to it as he faces up to the fac...

Celtic have now extended their winning run to 6 games. So what’s the problem? In light of what’s looking increasingly like another failed transfer window tensions are rising off the park as fans grow ever more frustrated with the club. Brendan Rodgers himself may well be questioning his own return to Glasgow with many of the same poor practices that led to his initial exit seemingly alive and kick...

Celtic remain 5 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after today's 1-0 win over Ross County but the performance from Brendan Rodgers' men left a lot to be desired at times. The Hoops got off to the perfect start with a deflected Alistair Johnston strike in the very first minute but that would be the end of the scoring on the day - much to the surprise of most in attendance. Luis Pal...

Celtic are back in league action for the first time in almost 4 weeks as Ross County make the trip to Celtic Park. The Highland side have been struggling for form following the return of Derek Adams as manager, failing to win any of their last 5 games. For Celtic the priority is maintaining the gap at the top of the table, and they'll be boosted in their hopes of doing so by the presence of new Bh...

Say what you want about Brendan Rodgers but the man knows how to play the media game and turned on the charm offensive once more following Celtic’s win over Buckie Thistle. The manager has had his critics since his return – and some will remain – but Rodgers continues to perform where it matters most, by winning games of football. With 5 wins from 5 we can look ahead with confidence to the second...

Celtic returned to action after the winter break with a resounding 5-0 win over Buckie Thistle to make it five straight wins in all competitions. The Highland League side can hold their head up high for how they approached the game and likewise can be proud of the travelling support they brought to Celtic Park. For Brendan Rodgers side however it was a professional performance and with five separa...

Come Sunday's 4pm kick off at Celtic Park it'll have been almost 3 weeks without competitive Celtic action, and that's more than enough for all of us. The Bhoys play host to Highland League side Buckie Thistle in what should be an intriguing game in the Fourth Round of the Scottish Cup. The Highlanders come into this one on the back of 10 consecutive wins since mid-September and won't need any mot...

Nicolas Kuhn will become Celtic’s first signing of the January transfer window as he arrives in a £2.8 deal from Rapid Vienna. But will the German winger be joined shortly by other reinforcements as Brendan Rodgers looks to boost his squad for the second half of the season? Dozens of names are doing the rounds as the Hoops look to bolster their options at left back and centre forward but will any...

With the players currently enjoying a short winter break Celtic sit top of the Scottish Premiership following 4 wins on the bounce over the festive period - but what does the half-season report card look like? We take a look at the ups and downs of the campaign so far as well as the players who have made the headlines and the performance of the returning Brendan Rodgers. Elsewhere we're now over a...

Celtic made it 4 wins from 4 with a convincing 3-0 victory in Paisley and now head into the winter break 8 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table. Hot on the heels of his goalscoring performance in the Glasgow Derby Paulo Bernardo was at it again, providing two assists and taking home the man of the match award for his night's work. Not far behind was Matt O'Riley - making his 1...

Whilst most of us will still be on a high after Saturday's massive win against Rangers, Brendan Rodgers and his players still have one last hurdle left to negotiate before they can head off for the winter break. The Hoops face St Mirren in Paisley on Matchday 22 and it's vital that they fellow up the weekend win with a similar result and performance against Stevie Robinson's men. Goalscorers Kyogo...

As is often the case there was a lot of noise from the other side of the city in the build up to the last derby of the year. And as has so often been the case Celtic once again done their talking on the park by commanding the game and by taking all three points. Paulo Bernardo and Kyogo grabbed the all-important goals on the day but so many players in green and white stood up to be counted as Bren...

It's been a mixed season so far as Brendan Rodgers adjusts to life back in the Celtic hot-seat. However, there's no better time for the manager and his players to step up to the big occasion than in Saturday's crucial clash with Rangers. They'll play out the final game of the calendar year in front of a full house at Celtic Park who'll be roaring the Bhoys on in their aim to extend their league le...

It was as dominant as display as you'll see all season but Celtic had to wait before eventually overseeing Dundee at Dens Park this afternoon. Going in goal-less at half-time can always lead to some nerves but the Bhoys stuck to their task with Paulo Bernardo and Mikey Johnston stepping up with the all important second half goals. It was a telling contribution from Johnston in particular, a player...

Celtic head to Dundee on Boxing Day looking for the win that’ll ensure we stay top of the table heading into the last game of 2023. Saturday’s 2-0 win over Livingston was a step in the right direction following recent defeats and Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for more of the same from the Bhoys against Tony Docherty’s side. Kyogo was back amongst the goals v Livi and will be looking to kick on ag...

The January Transfer Window opens in little over a week and for Celtic it could be one of the most important windows in recent years. The reward for lifting the Scottish Premiership title this season is automatic qualification for the new (and substantially more lucrative) Champions League, and it's a must that Celtic take their place at European Football's top table in the 2024/25 season. This wi...

Following two league losses on the bounce nothing other than a win against Livingston would do today - and that's exactly what then Bhoys delivered. A combination of Livingston's approach and the blustery conditions ensured it was never going to be a game packed with free flowing football but ultimately Celtic done what they had to do to secure the win. Kyogo and Liam Scales were the goalscorers o...

It's been a long drawn out affair but tomorrow will see the return of the Green Brigade at Celtic Park and it should give the players a timely boost just when they need it most. It's been a difficult couple of weeks domestically with league defeats to Hearts and Kilmarnock but Celtic's destiny is very much in their own hands and no better place to get back on track than a packed Celtic Park. Tomor...

League defeats are like busses! Hot on the heels of our first Scottish Premiership defeat of the season at Rugby Park, Celtic followed up with an even worse display as they fell 2-0 to Hearts at Celtic Park. It’s a game which featured just one of our summer signings (Luis Palma) but not the likes of Gustaf Lagerbielke and Mitchell Frame following the midweek win over Feyenoord. Fret not though, Kw...

The worst domestic performance we've seen from Celtic since the last one! If you thought last week's second half showing against Kilmarnock made for bad viewing then the full 90 minutes against Hearts most certainly won't be for you. There's something far wrong at Celtic just now, on and off the pitch, and solutions need to be found quickly if we're to retain our Scottish Premiership title. Talent...

Will the win against Feyenoord provide the catalyst that kick-starts Celtic's season? Brendan Rodgers will certainly be hoping so as he and his players get set for four tricky fixtures between now and the turn of the year. The first of those is Hearts who visit Celtic Park tomorrow on the back of defeats by Aberdeen and Rangers. Despite this we know how difficult an opponent the Edinburgh side can...

Ask the Celtic players and fans if tonight meant nothing. Representing Celtic is never meaningless and Brendan Rodgers, his team and the Celtic support got their rewards against Feyenoord with a last gasp winner giving us the Champions League win that's evaded us for so long. It was an entertaining game on the night with Celtic undoubtedly riding their luck at times, though we also seen some big p...

On paper there's little to play for tomorrow night against Feyenoord, but the Celtic players owe it to the fans as well as to themselves to put in a positive performance against the Dutch champions. Sunday's defeat by Kilmarnock fell woefully below the required standards and Brendan Rodgers' must get a response from his men in order to restore confidence ahead of some vital fixtures. He may be tem...

Celtic fell to their first league defeat of the season at the weekend though it's a result that many feel has been coming.  Like St Johnstone just 7 days prior the Hoops managed to turn in yet another Jekyll & Hyde type performance having ended the half a goal to the good, only to undo all their good work in spectacular style in the second 45.  It was a day to forget for Liverpool loanee Nat Phill...
