Celtic's title charge is hitting full throttle, and midfielder Benjamin Nygren says the squad's belief has never been stronger as they head into the final two games of the Premiership season. The Swedish star, who has netted an impressive 20 goals this campaign, insists confidence is "very strong" among the Hoops as they look to snatch the championship crown.

Sunday's dominant 3-1 victory over Old Firm rivals Rangers at Parkhead has breathed new life into Celtic's title hopes, pulling them to within just one point of league leaders Hearts. With a trip to Motherwell on Wednesday followed by a season-defining home clash against the Jambos on Saturday, the stage is set for a thrilling finale.

"I've believed the whole time, and you have to do that," Nygren said. "We've had a lot of confidence, especially in the last couple of games. We've been very good and very strong, so we're going for it."

The 22-year-old's optimism is backed by results. Celtic have rattled off six consecutive wins across all competitions since a March setback at Dundee United left them five points adrift. That run includes a Scottish Cup semi-final victory over St Mirren, setting up a final showdown with former manager Neil Lennon's Dunfermline side later this month.

"I've felt the confidence in the group and in the squad the whole season," Nygren added. "We've showed so many times when we've been down in some games that we've kept believing and kept going for it. The hunger of winning is at max level, and we're putting so much pressure on the opponent in every game."

For Celtic fans dreaming of silverware, Nygren's message is clear: this squad has the mindset of champions. "You always have to believe in anything and have confidence that you're going to win, and that you're going to turn it around," he said. "Otherwise, it's a lot more difficult to do it."
