We are two games away from the league split. Celtic are due to face the three clubs immediately below them: Newco and Hearts and Aberdeen away from home. We will face fifth place St Mirren at home, but sixth place is still up for grabs.
Hibs have a single point advantage over Livingston, so it could go either way. We have already played both twice at Celtic Park on league duty this season, whomever we meet, will have to travel to Celtic Park for a third time. Livi and Hibs have both proven to be difficult venues for Celtic, so no hardship limiting our visits to the Lothians.
Today we hear from John Sweeney, who is part of the Road to Seville team that plan to cycle from Celtic Park to Seville next month, 20 years after he first visited the city on a Celtic pilgrimage. John is a season ticket holder from Croydon, talks about his Celtic life and why the Foundation is an essential part of his Celtic life.
You can support the great work of your Foundation as well as encouraging John and the other cyclists here. Thank you, it is enormously appreciated.

Inspired by an article on The Celtic Star on Wednesday about the unveiling of Willie Maley statue in Newry this weekend, a Celtic Star reader send in some additional information about Andy Donaldson, specifically a copy of his Celtic contract which is signed by both Willie Maley and James Kelly and a wartime media that the then former Celtic player won and we have images of these to share with you today.
superb and informative, ta

Seriously- step away from GB News and the Daily Mail- whoever is playing you to try to get you to Vote Tory by enlisting you in the Culture Wars.
You fear that a voluntary move by the cash rich EPL clubs to remove gambling adverts from their shirts and signage in their stadium is the start of some great crack down on civil liberties. Only 8 of them have gambling sponsors on their shirts and the SFA has quickly distanced itself from this decision.
There have always been regulations on advertising to minors, supposedly to protect them from exposure to illegal activities, like drug taking, or age controlled industries like Porn, strip shows and houses of ill repute (apart from Ibrox).
These regulations already exist to make sure that food is not pumped full of additives that have been found to be harmful. Your alcohol companies do not market full strength poteen or absinthe any more because it had a track record of causing blindness and that’s bad for business.
Similarly, we introduced helmet wearing for motorbike riders, to reduce their demand for the civil liberty of raking up vast hospital costs as they needlessly damaged themselves. Similarly we imposed speed limits on vehicles, no parking sites around school, restrictions on fire arms and the woke nonsense of preventing a decent citizen from carrying a viable thermo nuclear device down the High Street.
Restrictive regulations are introduced mostly to improve the life chances of children and families so that they are not crippled by having their family finances controlled by an addict (drug, alcohol, porn or gambling). They are so light touch that they are easily got around by all but the most hapless of addicts.
Meanwhile while you are being played to rail about the severe injustice of your team not getting to advertise Dafabet, real restrictions on civil liberties are under threat, not imaginary ghouls like the 15 minute city.
There has been legislation enacted for many years restricting the rights to organise Trade Union membership and activity, there is further legislation restricting the rights to march and demonstrate, there are severe pressures to restrict our access to information not provided by a right wing nut job who has a truck record of hacking the phones of dead girls, and there are “local” pressure groups who are being legally assisted in preventing books which detail the history of oppression by the establishment, being available in libraries.
That is the real cancel culture
That is the real removal of precious rights.
I can’t get too exercised about making the advertising industries work harder on peddling toxic products. I do not favour banning but I am totally committed to regulation for safety.
Even if gambling, alcohol and porn were banned from football shirts, any semi competent adult and most kids over the age of 7 can access these services in a micro second online.
And they’ll find toxic racism there too, people encouraging kids to kill themselves, and sites promoting the attractions of anorexia, terrorist groups, Alpha Masculinity, and the precious rights to arm bears.
Meanwhile, you live your life as freely today as you did yesterday, providing you are not planning a strike, a demonstration or to fill library shelves.

Can you define ‘woke’?
I have not doubt you and your company are responsible advertisers.alas as with all drink and gambling advertising it is only your side that is responsible.the individual taking the product means that responsibility is the individuals and society’s to pick up.
The epl legislation does not stop you(the individual) gambling or drinking,it limits the tentacles of advertising expenditure ie how much your companies pay to reel us into buying
I would rather have no alcohol or gambling branding on the hoops.every action has a reaction b78,What is the benefit of it? I would say to companies like your own its great,to those of an addictive nature not so as you can read from cqnr’s.that is ballooning out of control with all ages.the last 3 personal bankruptcies I was involved in where all U30 and homes wrecked as they didn’t “know when to stop’ or whatever soundbite farted out by the gambling industries.
