After a demanding few months, Celtic fans can finally look forward to a bit of breathing room in the Hoops fixture schedule. Celtic have endured a gruelling season, with back-to-back fixtures and the pressures of the Champions League weighing heavily on the squad. However, with Europe now behind them, Celtic’s remaining fixtures provide a much-needed break to recover, with just one midweek game left before the end of the season.

A Gruelling Few Months

The past few months have seen Celtic battle through an intense schedule. From domestic league games to Champions League matches , the Hoops have regularly been playing two to three games a week. This relentless schedule has tested both players and the coaching staff, with squad rotation and injury management becoming increasingly important as the fixtures piled up.

Despite these challenges, Celtic has continued to perform incredibly, with Brendan Rodgers navigating the busy period and managing the squad’s fitness levels. However, after their recent Champions League exit, the pressure of midweek fixtures has eased considerably following last night’s 5-1 win over Aberdeen at Celtic Park.

One Midweek Game Left

Looking ahead, Celtic will be able to focus solely on domestic matters, with their European campaign now over for the season. The only remaining midweek game in the current campaign will take place after the split, on May 13 or 14, in what will be their second-last league match of the season. This gives both the players and supporters something to look forward to: one last midweek game before the end of the season, with a good chance the league title could be won by then.

A Focus on the League Title

With the Champions League behind them and just 10 league games remaining, Celtic can now fully focus on securing a 55th Scottish Premiership title. The lighter fixture schedule will allow Rodgers to work on fine-tuning his squad ahead of the final stretch of the season. Every point will count as Celtic aim to seal another league title, with their focus firmly on domestic matters, with the Hoops also still in the Scottish Cup with the chance to seal the treble.

Looking to the Future

The one remaining midweek game provides a bit of a breather for the Celtic squad. It also gives fans a moment to appreciate the resilience of the team, who have dealt with a demanding fixture list with unbelievable consistency.
