Celtic face critical fortnight: Six of seven away

Celtic face a season-defining fortnight with six of their next seven matches away from home, starting with a trip to Ibrox on Sunday.

With the Europa League concluded, Celtic face a demanding schedule including matches against Rangers, Aberdeen, and Motherwell. Martin O'Neill rotated his squad for the 1-0 win over Stuttgart, with Luke McCowan scoring and Viljami Sinisalo impressing in goal.

Sinisalo, replacing the error-prone Kasper Schmeichel, is expected to start against Rangers on Sunday. Former defender Johann Mjallby predicts a tight league race, urging Celtic to remain relentless over the next five to six games.
