With just two games left in a thrilling Premiership season, Celtic's mission is crystal clear: win both matches, and the title is theirs. It's a high-stakes finale that has fans on the edge of their seats.
First up, a tricky trip to Fir Park to face Motherwell—a side that handed the Hoops a tough loss back in December. But that was a different Celtic team under different management. Since Martin O'Neill returned for his second stint at the start of the year, stability has been restored. The squad has clawed its way back, now sitting just one point behind league leaders Hearts.
O'Neill is riding a wave of confidence after an impressive derby win over the weekend. "It gives us a big boost of confidence going into tomorrow evening's game," he said. "Winning the way we did was great, but that's in the past. We face a major task now."
The manager knows the path to glory is anything but easy. "If we win the two games—and that's easier said than done—we take the title. You'd have gotten long odds on that a few weeks ago," he admitted. "We've won five on the trot and still haven't caught up. That tells you everything about where we were months ago."
Hearts have been relentless all season, and O'Neill respects their fight. "They're a fine side and have stuck at it. We're trying to make inroads with just two games to go."
Adding to the drama, Celtic have also secured a spot in the Scottish Cup final, keeping the dream of a double alive. "Some players are in really good form, which is the most important thing," O'Neill noted. "There's a great connection between the team and the fans now. That's been key."
For Celtic supporters, it's all about the next 180 minutes. As O'Neill put it simply: "We just need to keep winning games of football."
