\u201cWe have spoken a lot about coming back after the break and really wanting to stamp our authority in the games coming up and put down a marker and that starts with St Mirren.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot has been said about how competitive the league is this year. That\u2019s good for the league as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, we want to kick on. Hopefully, first and foremost, stay top of the league and if we can start getting a gap between us and the rest of the teams, that\u2019s what we are looking to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe break came at the right time. It\u2019s always nice to get that breather after such a hectic December.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With Rangers sitting closely behind them in second place, Celtic know they need to hit the ground running and Christie is confident that the club can show off their title ambitions.<\/p>\n
Steven\u00a0Gerrard\u2019s side put the pressure on Celtic with their victory in the derby prior to the winter break, but the Hoops remain top of the pile in\u00a0Scotland.<\/p>\n
Brendan\u00a0Rodgers will be hoping that the mid-season break to Dubai has rejuvenated his squad ahead of the second half of the campaign.<\/p>\n","author":"Ryan Darby","image":[{"url":"https:\/\/readeverything.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/01\/1067601950-1200x800.jpg","author":"Ian MacNicol\/Getty Images Sport","title":"Celtic v Aberdeen - Betfred Cup Final"}],"dates":{"published":"2019-01-22T17:02:55+00:00","updated":"2019-01-22T17:10:05+00:00"},"id":"39-31149","link":[{"rel":"self","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/readceltic.com\/2019\/01\/22\/christie-issues-celtic-rallying-cry-ahead-of-st-mirren-clash\/"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"application\/json","href":"https:\/\/readeverything.co\/msn-feed\/?id=39-31149"}],"keywords":[]}]}
