Celtic preview: On their way to another title

With 72 points from 28 games and 13 points more than Rangers, the next team in the standings, Celtic are seemingly cruising towards another title. They've had a very good season so far overall, including their performances in the Champions League where they were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the first knockout stage, but not before putting up a great fight.

When it comes to team news, James Forrest and Paulo Bernardo will miss this match through injuries.

Predicted lineup: Schmeichel (GK), Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Schlupp, Engels, McGregor, Hatate, Kuhn, Maeda & Jota

Player to watch: Daizen Maeda

With 11 goals in the league this season, the Japanese winger is having a good year with Celtic. In fact, he is the team's top scorer, although only a goal ahead of Nicolas Gerrit-Khun.
