CELTIC are gearing up for their Scottish Cup quarter-final against Dundee United tomorrow.

The Hoops will be looking to book their spot in the last four of the competition after already lifting the League Cup earlier this season.

Ange Postecoglou's side are also sitting at the top of the Premiership table, so tomorrow's match is just the first of a number of huge fixtures ahead.

Here are today's top Celtic stories...

Scott Brown urged to join Brendan Rodgers

KEVIN THOMSON watched Scott Brown's ability and determination take him to the top as a footballer.

Now the former Scotland international is convinced he can prove it all over again by becoming a coach at the highest levels of the game.

Former Hibernian and Rangers midfielder Thomson sat listening in his car on Monday night as Brown revealed to him that he was bringing the curtain down on his Aberdeen career.

Jota and Carter-Vickers latest

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has no issue with Jota or Cameron Carter-Vickers pursuing their careers away from Celtic at the end of the season – so long as they are fully focussed on the here and now. 

Celtic are keen to give both players a decision to make at the end of the season as they look to convert loan contracts into permanent deals. 

Jota and Carter-Vickers have both been integral to Postecoglou’s side this term but the reality is that there may well be more financially lucrative offers on the table at the end of the season from outwith Celtic.

Postecoglou bats away treble talk

FOOTAGE emerged this week of a relaxed Ange Postecoglou shooting the breeze and jollying along as he was interviewed by an Australian television network. All that was missing from the scene was a glass in hand to kick back as they chewed the fat. Just don’t make it a Treble. 

The Greek-Australian inevitably batted away any queries about what tomorrow’s Scottish Cup against Dundee United at Tannadice could become for his side. Too long in the tooth to invite further pressure on his side, Postecoglou was reluctant to see the game as anything other than a stand alone fixture. 

As he enjoyed a wry smile with his compatriots at TalkSport pundit Alan Brazil’s toe-curling reaction to news of his appointment, Postecoglou seemed to draw modest appreciation of the esteem he has quickly been held in by the Celtic support. Regardless of the recycled version of Wham’s greatest hits after Brendan Rodgers’ name was deemed no longer an apt fit, the Parkhead manager’s popularity will further soar if he can deliver a few more trinkets into the trophy cabinet.
