Celtic are aiming to extend their domestic dominance into Europe with Champions League nights returning to Parkhead on Wednesday night.
Slovan Bratislava will be the Hoops’ first opponents, with Brendan Rodgers’ side eager to kick start their campaign with three points in front of Celtic Park's 60,000-strong home crowd.
With five league wins on the bounce, it has been an outstanding start to the season for the Scottish champions who have already opened up a five-point gap on rivals Rangers.
Speaking to the Monday Club Podcast, Kenny Miller said, “I don’t think the team or the club are in a great way. It’s not been a great start to the season.

“It was the worst time to get that O-d F-rm game. If you lose that then you’ve got two weeks of chat that people need to fill and they are all going to be talking about that last result. Unfortunately for Rangers at the moment, Celtic are moving away. That’s my genuine opinion and it hurts me to say it.
“When you look at the last couple of days of the transfer window, Celtic just flexed their muscles. They spent £11m then another £6m on the lad Auston Trusty as well.”
“And then they are on the bench for the game they are already winning 3-0 in, and by the way, it could have been more.”
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers extended his impressive Glasgow Derby record with the most recent 3-0 triumph at the beginning of September, with 12 wins in 16 meetings with Rangers over his two spells at the club.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
