The return to Celtic Park is just around the corner, with tomorrow night’s game against Livingston promising to be a warm tonic to remedy the harsh weather conditions of late. Ange and the Bhoys got the first three points of the return on the board on Saturday at Pittodrie – running out 1-0 winners in the end, thanks to a Callum McGregor strike.
After the tough encounter at Aberdeen, these last few days will have given the manager and the players a chance to work at preparing for the visit of David Martindale’s side, in a fixture that will be jammed in amongst a tough run of Scottish Premiership games the rest of this year and into January.
Celtic play St Johnstone on Saturday then visit Easter Road on the 28 December, which is always a cracking contest. After that we will travel to Ibrox in the New Year on Monday 2 January, which will no doubt be a cauldron having been given the news that we only have 708 tickets for that one. You can be sure they will be throwing the kitchen sink at that one.
But first up, it’s the West Lothian club that we have to overcome at Parkhead tomorrow evening. Martindale perpetually sets-up to frustrate and aggravate the home support and the Celtic team, like just about every other competitor we face in this country.
The excitement is getting higher and bigger with the game kicking-off this time tomorrow evening. The Celtic supporters may even have more to celebrate before it starts, with the new Ibrox club away to Saturday’s opponents, Aberdeen tonight. It’s historically a fiery encounter for them and hopefully Jim Goodwin doesn’t attempt his pathetic tactical display that faced the Hoops at the weekend.
In the meantime, get yourself in the mood by watching the Bhoys train at Lennoxtown ahead of the Livi clash…
