Celtic midfielder looking for Xmas cheer

Joe Ledley is targeting a healthy return of points for Celtic over the Christmas period.

“If we can get a 100 per cent record over the Christmas period it would be a great achievement” – Joe Ledley

The Hoops currently trail the leaders by three points and the Welsh international recognises that the next couple of weeks will prove crucial in the title race.

“It`s a vital part of the season and a chance to gain points on other teams,” Ledley told Celtic’s official website. “If we can get a 100 per cent record over the Christmas period it would be a great achievement.

“Near Christmas, there are always a lot of games in a short amount of time,” he added. “Obviously we all want to win the league so this is important for the rest of the season.

“The Christmas period is one of the most vital parts of the campaign and can make or break your season.”
