What can Celtic expect from their final four league games of the season?

Celtic are edging ever closer to their third successive treble but perhaps the biggest drama left in the closing stages of the season is whether Neil Lennon can do enough to earn himself the job on a full-time basis.

Every match represents a chance for him to prove his worth, but what can the Bhoys expect from their final four matches of the season?

Steve Clarke has put together a hugely impressive Kilmarnock side, who are capable of troubling Celtic but the Bhoys should have too much on their own turf.

But this one kicks off a run of fixtures which represents a tough end to the season, even if the league is all sewn up.

Celtic saw off the Dons in the Scottish Cup semi-finals earlier this month and that means that revenge may well be on the home side’s minds this time around.

With Celtic having one eye on the final of that competition, they may ease up slightly and give Aberdeen a share of the spoils.

Rangers (A) – Draw

This one represents an opportunity for Rangers to try and make a signal of their intent for next season and on their own patch, Lennon will need to make sure his side show their quality.

Which side keeps their head may decide this one, after the hot-tempered most recent clash between the two sides.

Hearts (H) – Win

This one is something of a dress rehearsal for the Scottish Cup final the weekend after and that means that Celtic cannot afford to lose.

There is a psychological advantage to be had by winning this one, and Celtic should fancy their chances, in truth.
