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.
17. Luke McCowan
All his appearances have come off the bench, but the lively midfielder has already found the net and gives the team a lift when he comes on. 6 | SNS Group
18. Nicolas Kuhn
The German has hit his stride this season at Celtic, scoring six goals and providing five assists. His pace and acceleration continues to frighten opposition defences. One of Celtic's best forward players right now. 9 | SNS Group
19. Daizen Maeda
The pocket-rocket presser has netted six goals this term and feels he is in the form of his career. Hard to argue. He sets the standard for this Celtic team when they push forward. 8 | SNS Group
20. Luis Palma
This has been a frustrating season for the Honduran, who is being kept out of the team by those performing well in front of him. Will need to keep his spirits high and remain patient. 4 | SNS Group
