Celtic host Raith Rovers in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup this weekend - and are huge favourites to beat the Championship side. The Hoops recorded a 6-0 victory over Dundee in the league during the week as Adam Idah scored his fourth goal in three games, while Johnny Kenny came off the bench for his Celtic Park debut. There were some cracking goals on the night, including a chipped effort from Daizen Maeda and a screamer from Nicholas Kuhn, and Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for another few goals from his side here ahead of their Champions League play-off first leg clash with Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Quotes corner Celtic midfielder Arne Engels: “We have an amazing squad of people that want to improve every day and every week. “You see it in our performance, that it’s only getting better and better every time, and that we are trying to make a machine from us.
“We are in a good way. The season is not over, so we are trying to improve every game. “For me personally, I’m always there to grab another goal, to have that mindset.
“That’s also why I wanted to come here to Celtic, it is the mindset of winning and keep on going even when it’s 4-0, just to destroy teams. “And that’s what I really like from the mentality here, that everybody has the same mindset and same way of thinking, and I really love it. “Sometimes other teams are maybe pleased with 1-0 or 2-0 and then they want to keep that, but we are going and going and going and even destroying ourselves sometimes physical-wise to get another goal.
“That’s really a bonus thing that we have here as a team.” Betting odds Celtic win: 1/20 Raith Rovers win: 25/1 Draw: 11/1 Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email alerts ..
