Celtic finally got off the mark under Wilfried Nancy and will be hoping to back it up with a win against Livingston.

The Hoops beat Aberdeen 3-1 to maintain the six-point gap to league leaders Hearts, after they beat Rangers on the same day.

Among the goal scorers for Celtic was Benjamin Nygren, who was restored to the starting XI for the first time in three games.

Nygren is Celtic’s top scorer this season, even if he hasn’t always been on his A game, but has one message for the current league leaders.

Benjamin Nygren looks ahead to 2026 title challenge

The Sweden international came to Celtic to win trophies but has already missed out on one opportunity to do so following the Premier Sports Cup final.

There are still two other chances in the league and Scottish Cup and now Nancy has got his feet under the table, the race is firmly on for the 24-year-old.

He told Celtic TV: “I think the team has always always stuck together. Everyone around, the staff, coaches, and all of the players and I think everyone who’s in the squad has has really high in confidence.

“That’s why we’re here at Celtic and you need that in a massive club like this.

“We will hunt them down.”

Will we hunt Hearts down and win the title?

Celtic’s next three games define their title race

This end-of-year period is monumental for Celtic.

Starting with a trip to face Livingston, it’s then a visit to Fir Park to play high-flying Motherwell.

That will be the last game of the calendar year before the first Glasgow derby of 2026 when the Hoops face Rangers.

Win all three of those games and Celtic could have the wind in their sails ahead of a busy run that includes a third fixture against Hearts.
