Carl Starfelt

Celtic fans would have been hoping to put their feet up and relax after what had been a very successful season for the club, especially considering the circumstances. The Hoops had a mountain to climb to even compete with the Rangers for the title, having finished trophyless and 25 points behind the Ibrox side last time around. On top of that, they had had to undergo a major squad overhaul last summer as well.

Carl Starfelt admits he learned quickly the demands of playing for Celtic as he hailed the leaders in the changing room for inspiring them to the title. The Sweden defender had a difficult start to his Celtic career after being pitched in to the cinch Premiership opener against Hearts 24 hours after teaming up with his new colleagues.

Celtic defender Carl Starfelt has earned a recall to the Sweden squad for their World Cup play-off semi-final against Czech Republic. The 26-year-old won the last of his four caps for the national team against Uzbekistan last May, shortly before he moved to Parkhead from Rubin Kazan. After being left...

Celtic will be the team with momentum on their side heading into the upcoming Glasgow Derby against the Rangers. The Hoops have managed to quickly cut down the gap with Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side to two points. And as a result, if they can get a win on Wednesday, they will go top of the Scottish Premiership after a long, long time. It is safe to say that a lot is riding on the result of the game.

Celtic defender Carl Starfelt is hungry for more cup success but past experience has taught him not to take Alloa lightly. The former Gothenburg and Rubin Kazan centre-back collected a Premier Sports Cup winners’ medal last month as Ange Postecoglou’s new-look team celebrated silverware success at the first attempt.

It is what you would normally expect from a Celtic team but after last season’s failure to win a single piece of silverware it was reassuring to hear it from a player that they want more trophies and aren’t satisfied with winning just the Scottish League Cup. The Hoops are four points behind the Rangers in the Premiership while the Scottish Cup is still up for grabs as well. And can they make a deep run in the UEFA Europa Conference League?

Carl Starfelt believes Bodo/Glimt’s artificial pitch can help Celtic progress through their Europa Conference League play-off tie in February. Ange Postecoglou’s side face a trip to Europe’s most northerly top-flight team after being drawn against the Norwegian champions on Monday.

Carl Starfelt feels he is adapting to the added pressure and demands of playing for Celtic. The Sweden defender earned a man-of-the-match award on his return from a hamstring injury as Celtic beat Hearts 1-0 on Thursday night. Starfelt struggled in the early weeks of his Celtic career after arriving...

That was horrible to endure towards the end. From having been in a major position of strength to being under the cosh is a worryingly recurrent theme of this Celtic side, albeit last night we have made it through – but not without sacrifice. The three injuries could yet decide where this title will end up; and that is not me being a misery guts, it’s just the cold hard truth that this squad is reflective of the poor recruitment process at Celtic Park.

Carl Starfelt was delighted to get the first man-of-the-match award of his career on his Celtic return. Starfelt came back from a hamstring injury to make his first appearance since October 30 as Celtic beat Hearts 1-0 in the cinch Premiership on Thursday. The centre-back was thrust in after Cameron...

Celtic are a team in form at the moment and were handed a massive confidence boost this weekend as Ange Postecoglou’s side booked their place in the Scottish League Cup final set to be played next month. But with games coming thick and fast there is little time to celebrate and reflect. The Hoops have another huge game next, when they face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League.

Carl Starfelt’s injury is a major worry for Celtic. The Swedish international has managed to establish himself in the heart of the defence in Ange Postecoglou’s side. Thus, the Hoops will be hoping to see him back in action as soon as possible, after he was forced off the pitch against Livingston. In that regard, they appear to have been handed a massive boost by the defender himself.

Celtic defender Carl Starfelt will be out until after this month's international break with a hamstring injury. The Sweden international limped off midway through the second half of the goalless draw against Livingston in the Scottish Premiership at Parkhead on Saturday. Starfelt, a summer signing from Rubin Kazan, will miss...

It is safe to say that Celtic have a problem on their hands with Carl Starfelt picking up an injury in the recent Scottish Premiership game against Livingston. The Swedish international has become a huge part of Ange Postecoglou’s side, who will need to find a way to fill in during his absence. There are three players who can do that.

Carl Starfelt looks set to miss Celtic’s next two matches after suffering a hamstring injury on Saturday. The defender limped off midway through the second half of Celtic’s goalless draw with Livingston and manager Ange Postecoglou later revealed he would be sent for a scan. The Swede has now told...

Carl Starfelt arrived at Celtic over the summer with a lot of expectations but did not enjoy a great start to life at Parkhead, with several shaky performances early on. But the Swedish defender has appeared to come into his own in recent weeks. And his recent claim will excite the fans about the future.
