"Experience of a title run is a massive thing. We've got a captain, Cal, who's won so many trophies, James Forrest and other boys who have been there in the past as well, so it's amazing to have guys like that in the changing room. Even the manager himself, who's been involved. It's brilliant for us and I hope it helps."
"It's probably exciting if you are watching it from the outside. It's probably something that's not been there for a while. It's massive, but regardless of the situation, every week the game matters for Celtic. It's not new to us. Maybe the situation is, with three or four teams going for it, but the pressure of playing for Celtic is not new to us."
Celtic faces an unusual Scottish Premiership title race with Hearts leading by eight points, Rangers two points ahead, and Motherwell close behind. Left-back Kieran Tierney emphasizes that the club's extensive trophy-winning experience gives them an edge, highlighting the value of having players like James Forrest and Callum McGregor who have won multiple titles, plus interim manager Martin O'Neill's previous success. While this competitive situation is relatively new for Celtic, who have dominated Scottish football for 13 of the last 14 seasons, Tierney stresses the pressure of playing for Celtic remains constant. Following a comeback draw against Rangers in the Old Firm derby, Celtic approaches their match against Aberdeen focused on their own performance rather than monitoring competitors.
