CELTIC begin 2025 with an incredible 14 point gap over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, and despite this season of goodwill Brendan Rodgers doesn't intend to go easy at Ibrox tomorrow.

The manager has now faced up to our Glasgow rivals 20 times, losing just once, and he's not in the mood to give up that record anytime soon.

Speaking ahead of the game he was in confident form and he'll have his players in a similar frame of mind by the time the whistle blows on the south side of the city.

🎙️ Join Tino, Paddy & James for The Countdown To Kick Off as Celtic get set to face Rangers on Matchday 19 of this season's Scottish Premiership.

JUST TWO games remain for Celtic this calendar year, and the first of them sees us return to Celtic Park for the Boxing Day fixture with Motherwell.

The Fir Park side have nudged up to 4th place in the Scottish Premiership table and should provide a stern test for Brendan Rodgers' men.

The Bhoys however are in the middle of a 32-game unbeaten domestic run and will have no intentions of giving that up anytime soon.

The hope too is that some key players will return to boost the manager's options following the weekend draw with Dundee Utd

🎙️ Join Tino & Greg for The Countdown To Kick Off as Celtic get set to face Motherwell on Matchday 17 of this season's Scottish Premiership.

CELTIC made it 32 games unbeaten domestically at the weekend - but for some that still wasn't enough!

Most fans are delighted with our start to the campaign however, and despite a bit of a drop off in recent weeks this side under Brendan Rodgers has plenty credit in the bank as they continue to navigate their way through the heavy festive schedule.

We now have just two games left this calendar year and thanks to the form of guys like Kasper Schmeichel, Callum McGregor and Nicolas Kuhn we find ourselves in a fine position to go on and make it an incredible season!

Meantime, the first trophy of the season's in the bag, we're riding high at the top of the table, and Champions League progress is in our grasp!

🎙️ Join Tino, James, Paddy & Mif as they cover all of the above and more in this latest episode of The Celtic Exchange Weekly.

CELTIC dropped league points for just the second time this season as they were held to a goal-less draw against a resilient Dundee United this afternoon at Tannadice.

Poor weather played a part but in truth the Hoops just never got going and struggled to carve out many genuine openings against Jim Goodwin's side.

Despite the result however we remain 9 points clear at the top of the table and Brendan Rodgers will now be looking to finish the year strongly with two home games to come this week against Motherwell and St Johnstone.

THIS WEEK on the 16th of December Tommy Burns would have been 68 years of age.

His untimely death 16 years ago left a massive gap in the hearts of the Celtic family, but his legacy, his character and his status is the eyes of the Celtic support lives on.

Tommy Burns was a Celtic player, a Celtic coach, and a Celtic manager, but most of all he was a Celtic fan, and for him that was the constant that burned brightly throughout his life.

Close friend and Scottish Football journalist Hugh Keevins joined us in the studio this week to discuss the biography that he co-wrote with Tommy back in 1989, which now - an incredible 35 years later - has been re-released, to allow a whole new generation of fans to enjoy the story of one of Celtic's greatest sons.

"Twists & Turns" is that story and is the tale of a man who considered himself a supporter who just got lucky.

It couldn't have been further from the truth, and as it turned out, we were the lucky ones.

🎙️ Join Tino as he sits with Hugh Keevins to reflect on the story of a true Celtic hero.

THIS CELTIC SIDE continue to win trophies, break records and delight the fans as they power their way through Scottish Football.

Sunday's win over Rangers saw us stretch ahead as the undisputed most successful team in Scotland as Brendan Rodgers' side claimed the 119th trophy in our storied 137 year history.

Kasper Schmeichel and Daizen Maeda were the big heroes at Hampden but it was a collective effort that got the Bhoys over the line and the manager is delighted at the start we've made to the campaign.

Attentions will quickly return to other challenges as we return to league action next weekend, but for now the manager and players should take the time to enjoy another incredible moment in Celtic folklore.

For anyone who continues to question it - winning NEVER gets boring.

🎙️ Join Tino, James, Paddy & Mif as they cover Celtic's history makers in this latest episode of the Celtic Exchange Weekly.

OF COURSE WE"RE NOT but we do have a chance to further highlight our domination of Scottish Football with a win at Hampden Park on Sunday!

Brendan Rodgers - a man who has never lost at the National Stadium - takes his side into yet another final this weekend, and this time its on the back of a 30-game unbeaten domestic streak as we once again aim to get the better of Rangers on the Southside.

If recent form is anything to go on then the Bhoys are strong favourites going in to this one, but as we know, anything can happen in a Cup Final.

Its all set to be a cracker, and kick off cant come quickly enough as we target the first silverware of the season!

🎙️ Join Tino, James, Paddy & Asim for the Countdown To Kick Off ahead of Celtic's League Cup Final clash with Rangers at Hampden Park.
