Celtic FC continued their impressive start to the season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Aberdeen at Paradise on Wednesday night. This win marks the team's ongoing domestic success, as they maintain their perfect record since the beginning of the campaign.
Off the pitch, Celtic has been active in the transfer market, bringing in several new players just before the summer transfer window closed. This week saw the arrivals of Oliver Sørensen, Sam Johnstone, Shumaira Mheuka, Landon Emenalo, Joël van den Berg, and Jordan Lotomba, who join previous signings Camilo Durán, Kasper Høgh, Mika Baur, and Haissem Hassan.
In a media session at Lennoxtown, Celtic Manager Martin O’Neill shared his enthusiasm about the new additions to the squad, stating, “I am delighted to get the players we have. I’m really pleased. We’ve got them in and I want to get on with it now.” O’Neill emphasized the potential of the new signings, noting, “Some of the lads that we brought in have careers right ahead of them and this is a great start for them.”
O’Neill expressed confidence in the ability of the new players to adapt and thrive in their roles, saying, “I think they’re ready for it, and if you show belief in them, they’ll respond to it. That’s how I view it.” This positive outlook reflects O’Neill's commitment to building a strong and competitive team as they aim for success in both domestic and European competitions.
This weekend, Celtic will face a significant challenge as they travel to Paisley to take on St Mirren in a top-of-the-table clash on Saturday, September 5, with kickoff scheduled for 8 PM. The match is expected to be a tough test for O’Neill’s side, as they look to extend their winning streak.
In his comments about St Mirren, O’Neill praised their impressive start to the season, noting, “I think they’ve been great. Really terrific. They fought back last week against Motherwell and they won again in the midweek.” He acknowledged the transformation of St Mirren from their struggles last season, saying, “They’re really terrific considering their precarious position last season. They’re playing now and they’re an absolute delight. Seriously, they’ve been terrific.”
As the season progresses, the upcoming match against St Mirren will be crucial for both teams, with Celtic looking to solidify their position at the top of the table while St Mirren aims to continue their positive momentum.
