After not being able to play this match between Celtic and Aberdeen, the results of the other matches were known, where they learned that Hearts lost to St. Mirren (1-2) and dropped important points. While Rangers won against Kilmarnock (5-1), having the responsibility of knowing that their postponed match, they must at least win.

For the upcoming matchdays of the Scottish Premiership, competitive matches arrive where they know they have to seek victories in all of them to obtain the top of the championship.

• Celtic vs Livingston, 11/02/2026
• Kilmarnock vs Celtic, 15/02/2026
• Celtic vs Hibernian, 22/02/2026
• Rangers vs Celtic, 01/03/2026

This last match for the Scottish Premiership, starting the March matchday, is a highly competitive match where many things will be defined, considering it is the great Scottish classic and the dispute for the first places in the league.

It is expected that Martin O’Neill’s team makes their great ambitions clear, and despite having this tight calendar for the local league, they cannot neglect the Europa League nor the Scottish Cup, so the best Celtic is expected to be seen in the upcoming matches.
