The nine-game path Celtic must walk to win the title as treacherous away day lurks amid Rangers derby boost

Celtic aren't fancied by some but belief from within will no doubt be high that they can pip Rangers in the Premiership.

They have a lot of work to do but just what awaits Celtic in the quest for Premiership glory?

Fans of the Hoops have gotten used to title success. The last decade has brought only one season without the main trophy in the Scottish game ending up in Glasgow's east-end, but this season has a different complexion.

Brendan Rodgers' side are ahead by a point but Rangers have a game in hand after their game with Dundee was called off. It leaves them with at least 10 games to go before the end of the season whereas Celtic have nine, including a Scottish Cup semi-final clash.

Three more games await before the split and the final countdown before medals are dished out. Some may see Rangers as the side with momentum but Rodgers has already insisted the current champions are out to write their own story.

Using the top six as a guide for fixtures that will take place after matchday 33 and what games are likely, Glasgow World takes a look at what Celtic will need to overcome en route to a possible title.
