Dalglish backs Celtic to go unbeaten – is it possible?

Former Celtic and Liverpool forward Kenny Dalglish has backed Celtic to go unbeaten in the league this season.

Dalglish says that he expects Celtic to win the title and struggles to see a side that could beat them in the Scottish division.

Speaking to The Daily Record, he said this:

Indeed, I’m struggling to see a side out there that will beat them this season.

And I include Rangers in that.

They remain the biggest threat to Celtic but they still have an awful lot of work to do.

They have improved under Steven Gerrard and will continue to do so. But they are still behind their great rivals on the other side of Glasgow.

Could Celtic end the season unbeaten? 

After winning all four of their opening matches, there is no reason to rule it out. Celtic’s closest challengers are Rangers, who they comfortably beat 2-0 last weekend in the derby – thanks to goals from Odsonne Edouard and Jonny Hayes.

If Neil Lennon’s side can maintain consistency throughout the season, going unbeaten is a real possibility. The signings of Fraser Forster, Mo Elyounoussi and Greg Taylor will only enhance Celtic’s chances, after coming in with good reputations in other leagues across Europe, and Scotland in Taylor’s case.
