Celtic have started the season on fire, winning six out of six games in all competitions so far.
Brendan Rodgers’ men have returned for the new season in fine fettle, playing some fast-paced, attractive, attacking football.
The Bhoys have scored 17 goals in their six games to date this season, conceding just one.
They currently sit pretty at the top of the Scottish Premiership and remain in imperious form.
This term, it looks as though Brendan Rodgers’ men will truly be tested on the European stage.
Celtic kick off their Champions League campaign tomorrow evening when they face Slovakian champions Slovan Bratislava.
Every game in Europe’s premier club competition is difficult in its own right, but at Parkhead, the Bhoys will back themselves to get off to the perfect start on the European stage.
Domestically, this season, they are taking care of affairs easily. Indeed, club legend Scott Brown thinks his old team are a cut above anyone else in Scotland.
“They’ve been excellent,” he said (The Scottish Football Social Club).
“They work hard and they look after themselves. You can see its proven the case yet again. Celtic look a class above everybody else in the league.
“Whether they are playing Rangers or playing Hearts, they are dominating games, and that’s what’s exciting about watching them at this moment in time.
“The players that they have brought in will hopefully enhance the squad in the Champions League as well, because the hardest thing in football is to go from the Champions League back to the SPL because there is a big difference, especially how hard the lads have to work in the Champions League games.”
Seeing how Celtic handles the step-up tomorrow night should be intriguing.
For several years, the Bhoys have been unable to make a mark in Europe, but they will hope that changes this campaign.
Their fixtures have a few glamour times away at the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa, but many of them are winnable, too.
