After a mixed start to the season, Celtic have now put together a trio of consecutive victories across the Scottish Premiership and the Champions League.
The Hoops defeated Aberdeen prior to the international break, and they followed that form up at the weekend when they played Motherwell in the league.
It was an impressive performance from the squad who had 74% of the possession as Jota and David Turnbull got themselves on the scoresheet to win the game 2-0.
Ange Postecoglou’s team extended their winning ways in the Champions League on Tuesday when they beat Ferencvaros with Kyogo Furuhashi finding the back of the net as an own goal then helped secure the result.
This was Celtic’s first victory in Group G, keeping them in contention to qualify into the knockout phase, while the Hoops have also begun pushing up the Scottish Premiership league table.
They are currently just four points behind Rangers, with a victory having the potential to take them as high as second place, which would get them straight back into the title race.
The visitors, on the other hand, are not enjoying quite as much success as they sit in eighth place at the moment with just two victories in the opening nine fixtures.

Scoring has been an issue for St Johnstone, with no club in the league having found the back of the net fewer times than them so far.
The Saints scored half of their goals during their victory against Dundee prior to the international break when they picked up a 3-1 victory.
However, they could not continue that form when league football returned at the weekend against Livingston when they were defeated 3-0, which dragged them down towards the relegation zone
