February: Nicholas Kuhn netted his first Celtic goal against Aberdeen at Pittodrie

Celtic head to Hampden Park tomorrow to do battle with Aberdeen, when these teo rivals meet in the Scottish Cup for the 35th time since all the way back in 1908, and each team will be desperate to book their place in next month's Final.

The Bhoys are coming into this game on the back of a 5 game unbeaten run - the most recent of which was a 3-0 victory over St Mirren last weekend in the league.

Indeed, the Hoops have dominated this fixture in recent years, remaining undefeated by the Reds since 2018, and will be looking...​

February: Adam Idah in action when these sides last met in the 2-0 Scottish Cup win

Celtic are set to host St Mirren at Parkhead this weekend, in what is nothing less than a must win game ahead of the League split.

The Hoops' Premiership defence is still in their own hands, but the only way it stays that way is simple: win every remaning game to make sure of that. Even a single slip could make the path exceedingly tricky, with just 5 games to play after this.

There are both pros and cons that lay ahead for the Hoops. As previously mentioned, it is still in the Bhoys' own hands, and for pretty much the...​

Cameron Carter-Vickers' presence at the heart of the defence will be critical for Celtic on Sunday


Ipox Stadium, Glasgow

The Hoops have the opportunity to go 4 points clear at the top of the table with victory at Ipox over their city rivals in the third Glasgow derby of the season, this weekend.

It has been a bumpy campaign for the Bhoys, which has made the title race a lot closer than most would've anticipated. And while Celtic currently hold a slender lead going into this clash, the Govan side have a game in hand that cannot be entirely ignored, with just a handful of games remaining.

The Hoops have won both of the...​

Daizen Maeda scored a hatrick in the 4-2 Scottish Cup win against Livingston, earlier this month

The Hoops return to Premiership action after the International break, with a trip to West Lothian to take on the league's bottom club, Livingston on Sunday.

These sides met shortly before the break on Scottish Cup duty, with the Bhoys coming out 4-2 victors, but not without a few scares along the way.

With just this one last game to tune up before what is anticipated to be a difficult visit to Ipox next week, Brendan Rodgers will need to have been putting this break to good use, in addition to...​

Matt O'Riley's strike against St Johnsstone back in December is a goal of the season contender

Celtic Park, Glasgow

The Hoops return to Premiership action this weekend, when they welcome the visit of 9th placed St Johnstone to Parkhead, ahead of the International break.

Last week, the Bhoys set aside a dogged Livingston 4-2 to set up a Scottish Cup Semi-Final showdown with Aberdeen next month.

That result, however, will have done little to ease concerns over the missed opportunity to return to the top of the table prior to that, following another chastizing trip to Edinburgh for Brendan Rodgers, which ended in 2-0 defeat...​
