Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers wants his team to have a ten point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings by the end of the year.
The Hoops are once again expected to win the SPL this season and have a five point lead over Aberdeen who are in second position on the standings.
The club has so far achieved two of the managers aims by qualifying for the Europa League after finishing in third position in the Champions League group and they have also retained the Betfred League Cup after defeating Motherwell in the final in November.
Rodgers said: “I said to the players a numbers of weeks ago about the three targets by the 30th of December.
“If we can win the League Cup, qualify for the Europa League and have double-figure advantage by the time we arrive into the winter break then we will have a brilliant season.
“Okay, if we don’t have the double figures, as long as we have that gap then that will represent an outstanding start for the players through qualification for Europa League and winning the League Cup. That would be a great, great end to the year for us.”
