WE’RE READY – COLLINS

JOHN COLLINS is convinced Celtic have the mental toughness and squad depth to handle their congested fixture list.

The Hoops could play 14 games in the next 49 days if they continue to progress in all cup competitions in tandem with the league campaign.

But the assistant boss said: “We’re used to playing two games a week.

“We’ve done that for the majority of the season.

“And, of course, we have a big and healthy squad. The injured boys are all coming back.

“So, it’s not something we can’t cope with.

“We just have to deal with it.”
