Philippe Clement looked a calm and collected figure in Scottish football at the start of his managerial reign at Rangers but Chris Sutton reckons Celtic are now making him show signs of pressure. A lot is riding on this weekend’s derby match at Celtic Park. If the Bhoys avoid defeat they will be red-hot favourites to secure another league title despite all the hype coming out of Ibrox this season. Brendan Rodgers and his team are exuding confidence on and off the pitch, picking up wins and playing with the media to divert any pressure away from their shoulders. Clement got pretty wound up by i...

Celtic earned more than £30m in UEFA TV money alone during the 2023/24 season, despite finishing bottom of their Champions League group. Brendan Rodgers’ Bhoys faced off against Atletico Madrid, Lazio and Feyenoord, picking up four points with a win at home to the Dutch side and a draw against the Spaniards. That wasn’t enough for progression into the last 16 nor a parachute into the Europa League. Nonetheless, it was a lucrative campaign for Celtic that will help the club post another set of incredible financial results for the year ending 30th June 2024. The Bhoys declared record revenue in ...

Celtic’s injuries this season have been well documented. It’s been a struggle for Brendan Rodgers to get his best team on the pitch for large chunks of the campaign. Consistency has taken a hit as a result – there was no dominant run of wins to truly finish off Rangers after their own issues in the early part of the season. Thankfully, Celtic have shown their class in the derby meetings with two wins and a draw. The Bhoys now sit on the precipice of a third consecutive Scottish Premiership title win. Saturday’s match at home to the Ibrox side is a huge moment. It’s often hard to predict the ou...

The big derby day is nearly upon us. Celtic face off against Rangers on Saturday knowing a victory will put them on the brink of a third successive Scottish Premiership title. The Bhoys currently sit three points ahead of the second-placed side with just three games remaining. That context makes this one of the most important derbies in recent memory and, understandably, Celtic are favourites to come out on top. Brendan Rodgers’ side haven’t been beaten by Rangers this season, winning home and away in the early part of the season before drawing at Ibrox last month. Celtic look strong and confi...

Celtic’s win over Hearts last weekend set the team up with a huge boost in confidence ahead of the Glasgow Derby on Saturday. A comprehensive 3-0 win was bolstered with a superb team performance that really pleased Brendan Rodgers ahead of the big game against Rangers. With Kyogo Furuhashi grabbing a superb double and Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley running the midfield, Celtic looked really hungry and sharp in their win over the capital club. And that is why Simon Donnelly has predicted that his old club will have too much in their locker for Rangers to be able to compete at Parkhead. How Ra...

Celtic fans have enjoyed the exploits of some extremely gifted midfielders throughout years gone by at Parkhead. One who probably never got the credit he deserved in green and white is Barry Robson, who spent three years at the club before departing for Middlesbrough in 2010, winning a Scottish Premiership title and Scottish League Cup. Brought in from Dundee United, Robson went on to rack up seven goals and seven assists in 54 appearances for Celtic, including strikes such as his ice-cool penalty against Rangers and header against Barcelona in 2007/08 [Transfermarkt]. Following his spell in Y...

With just under 48 hours to go to the big Glasgow Derby kick-off at Celtic Park, the predictions from pundits and former players are coming in thick and fast. Already the Celtic fans have seen the likes of Chris Sutton give his prediction and Barry Ferguson talking earlier about worrying about James Forrest. With Celtic getting back to full strength and Rangers having some injury issues to worry about, there is a slight air of confidence from the Hoops fans and Andy Halliday seems to know why. Celtic fans don’t ‘fear’ three Rangers playersAndy Halliday was running the rule over Rangers’ chance...

Celtic are set for a busy summer of transfer activity that could see plenty of movement in and out of the Parkhead doors. Brendan Rodgers will already be planning on where to strengthen his squad following several instances of the Irishman emphasising the need for ‘quality’ additions to arrive at the club during the season. Before he delves into scouring the globe for talent, solving the futures of loanees Adam Idah and Paulo Bernardo will come to the forefront, with the latter said to have an option to buy worth £6.4 million in his agreement. According to reports, Motherwell goalkeeper Liam K...

Celtic have been told to spend £5m this summer on a striker who would guarantee 20 goals a season. Brendan Rodgers knows that he has a lot of work to do to strengthen the Celtic squad in some key areas in the summer and if recent reports are to be believed, the Hoops boss is already putting plans in place to do just that. Reports this morning claimed that Liam Kelly is on Celtic’s radar and earlier this week we discussed the possibility of Queens Park Rangers defender, Jake Clarke-Salter, joining the club in the summer. But there is one player that Craige Moore believes Celtic must go and sign...

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is continuing to establish his vision at Parkhead since returning north of the border last summer. In addition to the Irishman’s signings over the last two windows, there has also been no shortage of new contract renewals as Rodgers and company lay the foundations for long-term success. Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi, Reo Hatate, and Matt O’Riley all put pen to paper on extensions in 2023; meanwhile, Liam Scales signed a fresh four-year deal last week to cement his rise from obscurity to becoming a valuable first-team member. Whether to safeguard prize assets or as a...
