Celtic’s Resurgence Under Brendan Rodgers
The Hoops have emphatically silenced doubters with their recent performances, showcasing why they remain Scotland’s dominant force. Sunday’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup final – secured by Ryan Christie’s decisive strike – marked Brendan Rodgers’ seventh consecutive domestic trophy, reinforcing Celtic‘s domestic supremacy.

Former Scotland international James McFadden, now a respected pundit with Marvelbet, observes: “What makes this Celtic side special isn’t just their quality, but their relentless winning mentality. Even when not at their fluent best, like in the final, they find ways to win – that’s the mark of champions.”
The Unprecedented Triple Treble Pursuit
Celtic‘s current eight-game unbeaten streak across all competitions demonstrates their growing momentum. With Europa League progression still possible and domestic dominance continuing, the historic achievement of three consecutive domestic trebles appears increasingly plausible.
McFadden notes: “The psychological advantage Celtic possess is enormous. Every time they lift silverware, it sends shockwaves through Scottish football. Their summer recruitment may have been questionable, but January reinforcements could make them unstoppable.”
Rangers’ Emergence Under Gerrard
While Celtic celebrate cup success, Steven Gerrard’s Rangers have quietly assembled an impressive league campaign. Their recent 2-1 comeback victory at Tynecastle propelled them temporarily above Celtic in the Premiership standings, albeit having played an extra game.

“Gerrard’s evolution as a manager has been remarkable,” McFadden tells Marvelbet. “Early mistakes have given way to tactical maturity. He’s instilled a winning mentality at Ibrox that hasn’t been seen in years.”
The January Transfer Window Pivotal Moment
Both Glasgow giants face a crucial January window:
- Celtic must address squad depth issues to maintain their treble charge
- Rangers need quality additions to sustain their title challenge
McFadden predicts: “This could be the most significant transfer window in recent Scottish football history. The team that recruits smarter in January might well decide the destination of the Premiership title.”
Festive Fixtures: Season’s Turning Point?
The upcoming hectic holiday schedule could prove decisive:
- Celtic’s experience in handling pressure situations
- Rangers’ need to prove consistency against smaller clubs
- Potential for squad fatigue affecting both sides
As McFadden concludes in his Marvelbet analysis: “While Celtic remain favorites for the treble, Rangers have reduced the gap significantly. The next six weeks could define both clubs’ seasons – it’s the most compelling title race Scotland has seen in years.”
