THE Hoops have returned from Dubai and are back in action this weekend as their defence of the Scottish Cup begins with a trip to Firhill to take on Partick Thistle in the fourth round of the competition.

In this week’s issue of the Celtic View, Neil Lennon looks back at the warm-winter break in the Middle East as well as ahead to the Scottish Cup tie and beyond, while we also have the third and final voucher for the amazing Celtic Park hospitality prizes from club sponsors, Dafabet.
