Celtic
ScotlandCurrent form
Celtic have few rivals in the Scottish Championship. Since the 2011/12 season, the team has only missed out on the title once. Last season, the club became the undisputed champion, seven points ahead of Rangers. This season, the team will try to repeat the achievement, but for now, the main competitor for the visitors is not Rangers, but Aberdeen. This club is currently three points ahead of the Celts and occupies the first place. It was in the match with Aberdeen that Brendan Rodgers' charges lost points for the first time in the last round, drawing 2:2.
In addition to the domestic championship, Celtic also participates in the Champions League. In this competition, the visitors played three completely different matches. In the first match, the Hoops managed to crush Bratislava Slovan (5:1), but then they were beaten by an even bigger score by Borussia Dortmund (1:7). In the third round, which took place on October 23, the current champion of Scotland played a goalless draw with Atalanta (0:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Greg Taylor will miss the match with a thigh injury, while Cameron Carter-Vickers is a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club has never lost in the Scottish Premier League
- The visitors played to a draw twice in a row

1.99Tip and bets
The visitors are clearly stronger than their opponent today, but it is not a fact that the Celts will be able to win with a large score. The visitors recently played a match with Atalanta in the Champions League, which cannot but affect the functional state of the football players. The hosts have shown themselves well this season and are capable of imposing competition even on such a strong team as Celtic.
