The dominant force of Celtic in Scottish football continues to be felt under the leadership of Brendan Rodgers. Despite not always being in top form, the Bhoys managed to secure the double last season, including a memorable Scottish Cup final win over Rangers.
Currently, Celtic holds a comfortable lead at the top of the Premiership table, with a nine-point gap to second-placed Aberdeen and a further 14 points ahead of third-placed Rangers. Recent performances, including a convincing win over Ross County, a victory over Aberdeen, and a triumph against Hibernian, have solidified their position at the top.
While some may have thought the title race was already decided, Rangers boss Philippe Clement stressed that nothing is certain in December. However, Roy Keane confidently declared Celtic as title winners even before Christmas, a sentiment shared by other pundits.
The gap between Celtic and their rivals is significant, with the rest of the pack struggling to keep up. Rangers have already dropped points in multiple games, while Aberdeen’s form has started to suffer. With crucial matches on the horizon, including a League Cup final against Rangers and a busy schedule in the Premiership, Celtic’s dominance shows no signs of wavering.
