Celtic are in action later today against Kilmarnock.

For the 12th time, the Bhoys will play on Remembrance Sunday, an issue that tends to provoke controversy.

A great win today for Celtic.

Here's my thoughts on this in the latest @celticrumours.bsky.social podcast.

It's free to listen - and you can understand why there's a Celtic panda!

Best 45 minutes of the season. An actual intensity which hasn't been there for months.

If Tounekti's crossing was better or Nygren's decision making a bit sharper, it would already be over.

Only worry is not being more ahead. Hopefully fix that soon.

On #Halloween, here's a ghost story 👻 involving Celtic 🍀.

It's about a 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 footballer who ended up playing against the Celts.

It's even scarier than some of Celtic's recent performances!

Read on for the spooky - and true - tale...

In Celtic's history, there have been some tragic stories.

One of the saddest is that of early Celt Mick McKeown, who died this week in 1903 aged only 34.

My latest FREE @celticrumours.bsky.social podcast tells his unfortunate tale.

To say the least, an awful footballing day for Celtic.

Hearts are absolutely in the driving seat for the season.

Still...

May 2026 will be 40 years since Albert Kidd Day in 1986.

It would be great for a Celtic repeat at the end of this season!

12-in-a-row for Callum McGregor!

The Celtic captain's goal today means he has now scored in 12 successive seasons for the Bhoys.

This puts him level with Stevie Chalmers, John Hughes and Adam McLean.

How many more years can he do it?

Today marks the 130th anniversary of Celtic's biggest ever win.

On 26 October 1895, the Bhoys beat Dundee 11-0, a club record that still stands.

But any sort of win would do today against Hearts.

C'mon Celts!

130 years ago tomorrow, Celtic recorded their largest ever victory.

Dundee players left the Celtic Park pitch dejected after a massive defeat.

Celtic have played official games in six locations in Dundee.

Can you name the grounds? Two of them are pretty easy!

160 years ago this year, a Celtic icon was born.

He helped Celtic’s early rise to the top of Scottish football.

In fact, it has even been said that “No Kelly, No Keltic.”

This is the story of James Kelly, Celtic’s legendary first captain.
