Bhoys Bound For Buddies Battle

Jamiary: Nicholas Kuhn scored twice in the 3-0 victory when these sides last squared off

Brendan Rodgers' Bhoys are once again in Premiership action this weekend, when they make the short trip to Paisley to take on 7th placed St Mirren, on Saturday evening.

The Bhoys are coming off the back of a 5-1 victory over Aberdeen on Tuesday, and are now just a maximum of 6 wins away from securing a 4th straight League title.

While it was not one of the Bhoys better overall performances, and had the Dons brought their shooting boots down from the north-east with them, the scoreline may've...​

The Ghirls' Title Charge Challenge

Elena Sadiku and her Celtic side are currently embroiled in a 5-way battle as they look to retain their League crown, when hostilities resume this weekend.

In the past two seasons, the SWPL has gone down to the last few minutes of the last day of the season. In 2023/24, it went from hope to euphoria to heartbreak in about 2 minutes for Fran Alonso's side as they were pipped to the post by Glasgow City.

Last season's nail biting triumph was very much still in doubt until Amy Gallacher's 90th minute winner against Hibernian secured the title. And even then it was only due to goal difference that they managed to get over the line!

This season is shaping up every bit as tight and dramatic. The Hoops have 11 games remaining. They are no other distractions, just 11 football matches to be played. Win those and they will be Champions once again.

As things stand it is in their...​

December: Reo Hatate's strike proved to be the difference when Celtic and Aberdeen last met

Celtic in Premiership action once again later this evening - and looking for an immediate response - when they host the visit of 3rd placed Aberdeen.

Brendan Rodgers will be looking for his side to bounce back from the disappointment of the 2-1 defeat by Hibs at the weekend, which in context is understandable, but credit where credit is due, the Edinburgh club deserved what they got from the match.

Despite that result at Easter Road and due to results elsewhere, Celtic still hold a commanding 13 point advantage at...​

Defender Auston Trusty in action against Hibernian in the 3-0 win, back in December

The Hoops return to Premiership duty this weekend, when they traverse to the Capital to take on 5th placed Hibernian at Easter Road.

Brendan Rodgers' side demonstrated real fortitude, skill and maturity against Bayern Munich earlier this week, when they came agonizingly close to a first win against the Bavarian powerhouse - and what would've been a first win on German soil in any UEFA competition, only for the hosts to equalize with virtually the last touch of the ball, to finish 1-1.

It was a performance that the...​

Daizen Maeda scores in the first leg against Bayern Munich last week

Celtic are back in action tomorrow evening, when they walk out on the Alianz Arena pitch, the home of Bayern Munich, for the Champions League Play-off second leg.

Brendan Rodgers' side tuned up for this continental trip with a reasonably straight forward 3-0 win at home over Dundee United at the weekend, with the manager having rotated roughtly half of the team, no doubt with this return match against the German club in mind.

The Bhoys have a slender fighting chance of progressing to the Last 16, after...​
