It seems as though Celtic have been given a welcome boost ahead of the Old Firm derby this weekend. This is because Aiden McGeady should be fit to face Rangers on Sunday and could even make an appearance against Rapid Vienna on Thursday.

The transfer window may be shut, but this doesn’t mean that the rumours surrounding who Celtic would like to sign stop for a few months. This is because they are being linked with a surprise £7m swoop for Tottenham striker Robbie Keane.

Celtic’s hopes of reaching the Champions League were dashed last night as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the Emirates against Arsenal. It means that the Premier League side won 5-1 on aggregate and that the Bhoys will have to settle for a place in the Europa League this season.

For many clubs, this stage of the season consists of games where the result means very little. It is all about the performance of the team and getting new players to gel into the squad.
