Same old Celtic – Top of the tree at Christmas

As usually happens we’re top of the tree at Christmas…

Only one more sleep until Christmas and I hope Santa is good to you all, he certainly was good to us all back in May when he presented us with the Scottish Premiership trophy!

As Celtic supporters we all have what we want at this moment in time as our club yet again sits top of the tree at Christmas.

There’s been a bit of criticism the past few days due to us dropping two points at Tannadice, but all in all we’re in a pretty good place at the moment, domestically and crucially also in the Champions League.

The Premier Sports league cup was also won last week after a dramatic penalty shoot out win over the Rangers, who we also beat in the Scottish Cup Final back in May thanks to that never-to-be-forgotten Adam Idah 90th minute winner.

There are more big battles ahead in the New Year which kicks off with a vital trip to Ibrox on 2 January. The end of the month will also see us back in Champions League action with just three points needed to secure a play off place, the game against Young Boys at Celtic Park is a mouth-watering prospect and wouldn’t it be great to win that one then head to Villa Park to win a Battle of Britain.

But let’s just enjoy the festivities for the moment with family and friends, all with the added comfort that we are by far the best side in the country and hopefully we’re going to get stronger in January.

An ordinary everyday Celtic supporters hailing and still residing in Govan in the shadows of the enemy. I’m a season ticket holder. I Witnessed my first Celtic game in 1988 and have attended when I can ever since. Growing up in the 90s I witnessed Celtic at their lowest, and now appreciate the historic success we enjoy today. I enjoy writing about this wonderful football club and hopefully will continue to do so. I’ve always been a keen writer and initially started this a hobby. My ambition is to one day become as good an author as my fellow Celtic Star colleagues.

  1. We are definitely already looking forward to another exciting year ahead in 25?
    This on the back of a very successful 24 for all celts to savour?
    We have continued to keep moving in the right direction over the course of this year?
    Yet we still aren’t the finished article as a team still, as work is still required within the overall look of our squad also imo?
    This is the position we have been looking for our club to be within at Christmas for some time now, and the 2 extra CL matches at least, is also a welcome bonus to be looking forward to also.
