IN THE last three games Celtic have won two, lost one, made a cup final, exited the Europa League and kept in touch at the top of the table.

But in all of them, they showed some character.

Against St Johnstone it was to keep going in the face of mounting pressure and blunt tactics. Against Leverkusen it was in recovering from an early setback to go toe-to-toe with one of Germany's best. Against Aberdeen it was in breaking down a stubborn opponent to take all three points.

This belief seems to be growing in the Hoops as Ange Postecoglou's philosophy takes root.

Will it prove crucial as the hectic festive fixture schedule looms large?

Sean Martin and Tony Haggerty discuss.
