Celtic play host to Hamilton Academical at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to maintain a near-perfect record against their opponents. The The Bhoys have won 35 of the 41 matches the two teams have contested.
The last time the two teams met at Celtic was amazingly over twenty years ago, in July 1988, the The Bhoys carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
