Glasgow Celtic: Season update

OK, I did mention that I would give you an update on how the "real" Celtic
are doing this season.

So...... After 23 games in the Premier league Celtic are sitting top of the league on 54 points with their big rivals, Rangers, second on 50 points. Celtic have won the last 3 Scottish premier leagues and this year are chasing 4 in a row! It has been a bit of an up and down season so far for Celtic. A series of bad injuries to some of their best players early in the season really wrecked Celtic's Champions League campaign this year with a 4th placed finish in their section seeing them drop out of Europe much earlier than expected. However, Celtic managed to remain competitive in the league and the two cup tournaments during this bad European form. Celtic are in the semi final of the league cup and also in the 5th round of the Scottish cup. In the league, Celtic got off to a stuttering start and had to endure a 4-2 defeat at home to Rangers! To their credit, after that horrendous start Celtic went on a 12 game winning streak hitting the top spot in the league. Celtic also gained some measure of revenge by beating Rangers 1-0 at Ibrox park in the last league game of 2008 stretching their lead to 7 points. Since the start of the new year Celtic have had a bit more of a sticky patch drawing at home to Dundee Utd and losing 4-2 away at Aberdeen taking their lead at the top of the league down to only 2 points. Today's 3-1 victory against Hibernian along with Rangers draw against Aberdeen restored a 4 point gap and hopefully Celtic will go on to consolidate their lead even further.

Celtic are well on track for a trophy treble!
