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.
21. Yang Hjun-jun
The South Korean winger is another who is being kept out of the team due to the form of Kuhn and Maeda. Has done little of note in five appearances so far. 4 | SNS Group
22. James Forrest
Used sparingly, but continues to chip in with four assists. His experience and dexterity is invaluable to the coaching staff. 6 | SNS Group
23. Kyogo Furuhashi
The Japanese has still not hit his maximum level, but he remains the team's No 1 striker. Has scored four goals, including a cracking passed effort in the win over Rangers. 8 | SNS Group
24. Adam Idah
Not yet firmly established in the team after making his loan move permanent, but has netted four times and gives Celtic a different dimension in the No 9 role. 7 | SNS Group
