SEASON 2021/22
SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue: CELTIC PARK
Greek striker Giakoumakis scores his second hat-trick in a few short weeks as he starts to show the Celtic fans full scoring potential.
Personal stuff:
Celtic v Ross County - 15th time seeing this fixture at Celtic Park - 14 in League and one in Scottish Cup.

Venue: ALMONDVALE STADIUM
LIVINGSTON 1 CELTIC 3
Scorers: Shinnie; Maeda, OG, Forrest
Celtic return to a ground that they have not performed well on for years but despite an early penalty miss produce a strong performance to comfortably beat a side they had only taken one point from six in the two previous league meetings this season.
This is my 11th visit to Almondvale Stadium since my first match there in 2002.

Venue: EASTER ROAD STADIUM (50)
HIBERNIAN 0 CELTIC 0
Not a great encounter for my 50th visit to Easter Road Stadium as Shaun Maloney's strugglers frustrate Celtic's efforts to secure another victory.
Again in the Hibs end but unlike the last visit the seat is probably the worse in the ground.
4th Hibs match of season and 128 in total.

| Great Greek Giorgos Giakoumakis |
Maybe a European hangover or taking their opponents too lightly but a straightforward home match against the bottom side in the league turns out to be a real struggle. However an outstanding goalscoring performance from Greek striker Giorgos Giakoumakis wins the three points. After a slow start from Giakoumakis, today maybe a new star is born.
My 67th time seeing Dundee (60 in Premier League all v Celtic) who have their new manager, Mark McGhee in the stand.
SEASON 2021/22
SCOTISH LOWLAND LEAGUE
Venue: RECREATION PARK, ALLOA.
BROOMHILL 0 EAST STIRLINGSHIRE 2
Match No. 5 in the Scottish Lowlands League again with Paul on the line. East Stirlingshire are too strong for their Glasgow opponents.
SEASON 2021/22
A shock for Celtic as their Norwegian opponents come to Celtic Park and play on the front foot and record a fine win and affectively kill the two-legged tie. This is Celtic's first match in UEFA's new third tier competition - Europa Conference League after finishing third in their UEFA Europa League Group.
Bodo/Glimt are the third opponents I've seen Celtic take on from Norway following Rosenborg (a number of times) and Molde.
SEASON 2021/22
SCOTTISH CUP 5th Round
Venue: CELTIC PARK
CELTIC 4 RAITH ROVERS 0
Scorers: Scales, Giakoumakis, Maeda, Bitton
For the second time this season Raith visit Celtic Park on cup duty. A rather non-eventful game is best remembered for a smashing first goal from young Irish full back, Liam Scales.
