Celtic’s season has been largely unblemished, particularly on the domestic front.
Brendan Rodgers’ free-wheeling team has won every match in the Premiership and Premier Sports Cup so far, crushing almost every Scottish side that has crossed their path. As a result, they sit top of the league alongside fellow 100 per cent merchants Aberdeen and are in the semis of the cup.
It has been a slightly different story in the Champions League. While they started off their campaign with a thumping 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava, Brendan Rodgers’ men were brought back down to earth with a sore 5-1 defeat by Borussia Dortmund.
There can be little doubt, though, that Celtic are in a strong position on and off the pitch, leading Rangers by five points in the title race and more than £70million of cash reserves in the bank.
We give each player a mark out of 10 for their overall displays so far.
13. Paulo Bernardo
Has not yet nailed down a starting place in this Celtic team, but continues to add panache and a goal threat after returning from last season's loan spell. 7 | SNS Group
14. Arne Engels
The record signing from Augsburg started his Celtic career with a bang, scoring twice with penalties and bringing a wide passing range and vision. The young Belgian has come off the boil a little bit, but has shown he has a touch of class in the middle. 7 | SNS Group
15. Francis Turley
Young Northern Irishman made his debut against St Mirren in August, but has not been seen since. 2 | SNS Group
16. Odin Thiago Holm
The Norwegian has made three brief cameos from the bench. Continues to be a peripheral figure at Celtic. 3 | SNS Group
