Celtic celebrate winning the Scottish League Cup

Celtic have dominated the Scottish Premiership by winning the league title, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup for the past two seasons.They currently sit second in the table and will be squirming that fierce rivals Rangers are leading at the top.Steven Gerrards side are only ahead by one point and have played one game more than the Hoops, though, so there is every chance normal service will be resumed by Christmas time.However, its clear the Scottish top flight is a much tighter affair this season and some of the Celtic players have already played down talk of the treble treble. Rodgers was also diplomatic when quizzed by talkSPORT on Tuesday morning, although said their huge trophy success during his reign is down to his players attitude, saying they always strive to improve.And it appears it is no different this season.Theyve been amazing since the first day I came in, the Northern Irishman told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.You can have an off day some days but youre playing 60 games a season, and these guys have been phenomenal.Theyre a real joy to work with, theyre honest, they want to improve.3
