Celtic Diary Saturday April 14: No More Cheers
If we cast our minds back to the day it was arranged that celtic should play “rangers ” in the Scottish cup semi final, we will remember the cheering that eminated from the Ibrox players.
Well, they don’t have many big games to look forward to.
It was described at the time as an emotional outburst based on their new found confidence, a confidence that disappeared after they succumbed at home to a ten man Celtic.
They seem rather reluctant to mention it these days, but happily, Celtic boss Brendan rodgers is on hand to remindd them.
It is probably something etched on Rangers’ minds because this is the game that they were cheering for. For us we always respect every opponent we play and just get ready for the game
Be careful what you wish for…
Then again, perhaps the “rangers ” players are just happy to be on the same pitch as a squad that have already made history, and continue to re-write the books… Rodgers again…
“Let’s see where we go over the next few years. As we sit here now, the players have already done last season what no other team in the history of Scottish football has done.
“No team has gone through a season without losing a game to win a treble. It was only the fourth treble in Celtic’s history, under three managers. So they are already in the history books.
“But we don’t think about that. We will all be judged when we leave. In the present you just have to keep fighting and working to create this new history, keep looking to raise the bar and the standards. That’s all we think about.
“Who knows, in 25 years’ time we might get an invitation to the Hydro!”
We’ve had a moan or two along the way this season, which has been frustrating for both players and supporters alike, but we are now very close to that unprecedented back to back treble..
“It gets you one step away if we win this game. It gets us to the Final and gives us that opportunity. We still have to close out the league but we are in a brilliant position to do that.
“It’s been a fantastic season, a challenging season of course, with so many injuries. But if there’s one thing about this team – outwith the free-flowing football and everything that came with it last year – they have still done what they’ve done with all the barriers put in their way.”
against the Ibrox club, Rodgers is unbeaten, and you have to go back a long way to find when this club actually beat Celtic in 90 minutes.
Actually, they never have.
rodgers again…he’s on a roll today.
“I never take too much heed of records. You get a chance to create your own. We can’t deny it has been a sequence of, in the main, very good performances which have led to those results against Rangers.
“Arguably our two most disappointing performances were at Parkhead, this season in December and last March. But you have to leave that in the past.
“In the last game at Ibrox we came up against that little bit of adversity which really strengthens your resolve to go on and win a game.
“That was a real partisan crowd, a great atmosphere, and to come back and win with 10 men for 30 minutes really told me everything about the team.
“I knew it anyway but that just reinforced it and let people see this is a team with a real resolve and spirit. That’s what the best teams have.”
The old Hampden hoodoo is dead and buried under rodgers, so there’s no excuse not to give the “rangers ” a damn good spanking tomorrow, and although the media may try to talk up Murty’s chances, there aren;t really that many to focus on.
This weeks “rangers ” manager said his piece, but he wasn’t very convincing, and seemed a little unenthusuastic..
“It is an easy answer really. This has been our focus, our desire since I came in.
“I said to the guys this is the big one for us, this is what we want to go and do and win the cup.
“If you are going to win the cup, you have to beat Celtic and it just happens it is at this round.
“If we are on our game, if we concentrate for 90 minutes, better than we did at Ibrox, I believe we have the tools and the players in the team to cause them a problem.
“Rather than getting [the last Old Firm game] out of their system, I think they should use it as motivation to remember how hurt they were and how disappointed they were to let them off the hook. Use that as motivation so make sure that when they walk off the football pitch they have got a smile on their face.
“Scott (Brown) says lots of things that he believes are true. I believe that my team have more than enough, and showed more than enough, to cause Celtic a problem.
“We have to understand where they are going to be dangerous, we understand that they have good players but I believe that the gap has closed demonstrably and we have to make sure that the next step we take is winning a game because I think that when we do win a game it will kick our belief into another level.”
Not very inspiring, and hardly enough to get the “battle fever ” raging.
Battle Fever.
It’s what the hordes describe their feelings as before a game against Celtic.
They do seem to like these militaristic phrases , hinting at a strong response to adversity,except of course when involves saving their old club, standing up to venture capitalists or spotting when they are being fleeced by their own.
there are injury doubts over Stuart Armstrong and Tom Rogic ahead of the game, but there are plenty of other options available for Rodgers should they not make it.
As long as Celtic play like they can, then we should be in for another chorus or two of Beautiful Sunday.
And we can enjoy even more of their pain, which continues to grow at an alarming rate..
Yesterday we published “The compliance Officers Dilemma”, which pondered how Tony MacGlennan will report on the shennanigans of 2011/12.
This post appeared on the Kerrydale Street site..
There are 3 possibilities.
RFC kept SFA in the dark on the true nature of wtc liability and obtained a licence fraudulently by doing so and also misled the SFA and SPL at the SPL fact finding stage in March to summer 2012 on the use of side letters.
The SFA learned about the true nature of the wtc liability after May 2011 but before mid March 2012 but kept it from the SPL
They all knew before March 2012 about the true nature of the wtc liability which HMRC described as fraudulent or negligent and why and kept it out of the LNS ToRs.
Interestingly in Feb 2012 Regan and LNS met to discuss ToRs of the Judicial Review into Craig Whyte. One of the charges was failure to pay VAT/PAYE but NOT the wtc liability.
On what basis that decision was reached should be put to Regan and LNS by the Comp Off.
Which sums up thew shennanigans more than adequately.
However, whilst we accpet that the SFA are treating the shareholders of Celtic disgracefully, and possibly even illegally, what about the biggest shareholder, Dermot Desmond ?
Why is he not applying pressure on the SFA?
Even if its just to gain assurance that the events of 2011 cannot be repeated today, and there are already enough suspicions that they are.
After all, they are his shares as well. It’s his club as well.
Or so he says.
More importantly, he’s seen as a sort of absentee landlord by a huge section of the support, and this is his chance to show he really is one of us.
One interview, one question.
Thats all it would take.
Then we’d know we really were all in this together.

On a serious note, those of you worried about the escalation of the current crisis in Syria , with the distinct possibility of Britain and the USA bombing Russia can relax.
May cannot act without clearing it with Trump, and Trump cannot act without clearing it with Putin.

Personally, I think Arlene Foster is to blame, using her influence on May to end the world before we get ten in a row.

I may be wrong here but it will be difficult to claim that the SFA were kept in the dark about the WTC because at the time Andrew Dickson was on the board of Rangers and on the SFA’s licensing committee.

Rab, what an ugly world we inhabit. As for the Brits, well we all know the score.
We don’t need Desmond, we don’t need Lawwell, we don’t need the board,

Huns go, the only constant is the Celtic support. If we don’t get the truth, then we mobilise until we get the truth.
Celtic united, can never be defeated.
Can you hear the animals sing,
canny hear a fucking thing, ho oh ho ho ho.
Spot on Mike. Supporters are the lifeblood of the game, i’d worry that not enough would care as they don’t engage in the off field stuff, just the on field stuff.
Supporters are the lifeblood of the game
what a load of old shite.
I’m sure you know the famous quote by Jock Stein about how without fans, the games means nothing. If you’ve no paying customers invezting their capital, you can’t run a football club. Without supporters turning up week in, week out, what’s the point? A load of excreta from me, Fred? I don’t think so.
well I havent met a single celtic supporter who doesnt think we should get automatic qualification for the CL, after we win the league. we have more support than most in the EPL and yet they get 4 spots.
So something somewhere doesnt square with your shite.
maybe the great platini will take pity on us instead of looking after his back pocket.
Fred, what the fuck are you on about? What would CP be like without our magnificent supporters? Where would we be financially if supporters didn’t put in their hard earned cash? Would we be winning trophies? Would we be playing in the prestigious CL? Would we fuck. PS: we dln’t need any corrupt organisations pity….we are Glasgow Celtic and get where we need to through our own efforts which is driven by the lifeblood of the club, our fans. I don’t think anyone agrees with what you claim.
Noel,
Just ignore the dobmeister….he isn’t right in the head.
Alright mate. Aye, the bold Right Said clearly doesn’t understand the machinations of how football works.
I don’t think he understands anything.
Noal, I’m sure I read somewhere that Auldheid had been in touch with Joe O’ Rourke of the CSA and the Celtic Trust, they are biding their time until the C.O. report is published. This, whatever you want to call it, fraud, chicanery, cover up, whatever, WILL be challenged, if the true facts of the C.O. report is not reported accurately.
Fred, you have a way with words, shite is such a great word, I love it
old shite, well that can be quite hard, its not too smelly, you can pick it up and throw it, it can cause a lotta damage without leaving a stain on your glove, smell the glove…Fred. Any new tips on players coming in, or are you still talking shite.
I sincerely hope those who’ve cheated and lied are brought to task Mike and the work the Res12 folk are doing is brilliant.

Dermot Desmond is not a Celtic supporter, Like a lot of rich guys he got involved as it was the fashionable thing for rich guys toi do. He knows being Irish he will get an easy ride from the supporters and no questions will ever be asked about how involved he is. But we fully understood his position on his annual golf trip when he described Sevco’s coming into the top division in the following way, even using their old name describing ‘Rangers’ as ‘a fantastic football club with a fantastic history’. He is no fan of Celtic and has supported the new Rangers since their birth. He wants us to shut up, spend our money and go away.
John,
Dermot IS a Celtic supporter….that’s why Brendan Rodgers is our manager!
BR is the highest payed manager in celtic (and Scotlands) history. That is why he is our manager. BTW this one up front malarkey is costing is points and has been ditched by every manager everywhere.
Paid!
Stupid, stupid huns.

Quickest guy to score 50 goals for Celtic since Champagne Charlie in the 80s.Has scored against the Huns in league cup semi and in the league but as they are mince,I wouldn’t use them as any yardstick for a striker….
That was in reply to Fred regarding playing 1 up Top .
40 goals in a Season would seem to suggest it works just fine providing the striker is on his A game.
Which btw neither Dembele or Griffiths have been this Season on a consistent basis.

Those debating whether it should be Dembele or Griffiths up front, Dembele has played Sevco six times & scored six goals.
Ken.
Don’t know if Commper is fit, the one and only time he played, he looked nervous and we know Brendan has a blind spot for Boyata, none the less good team and my choice as well.
Boyata has been the most effective CB on set pieces since Denaayer left,
It’s not a blind spot Mike he just uses both eyes to see the bigger picture 😉

“If you are going to win the cup, you have to beat Celtic”
Seem to recall Hibs not needing to.
2-0 to the steelmen, cheats never win, oh yes they do.
Lets get physical, physical, can you feel your body parts,
lets get physical. The Dandies are mince, getting bossed all over the park, hitting high balls into the box, mince an tatties to the steelmen.
Get the ball on the deck, you are playing into the steel mens hands,
get your players like Christie on the ball, McKinnes you are mince.
Charlie Saiz, the font of all pish!
So Mr Saiz, you tried to tell us Ronny Deila was an innovative manager & worth persevering with.
You told us Awfy Ambrose was a player, a right back & worth playing & persevering with.
You are now telling us that Efe Boyata is our best defender, despite making error after error.
These three examples i’ve provided, i have called it right on each and every one of them.
Including this one….you are utterly out your depth discussing football.
Point 1
Debatable.
Point 2
He changed our entire approach the current Manager has deviated very little from that approach
High press
High Intensity
1 up Top
Playing with width
Make of that what you will.
Point 3
Ambrose has decent ability as a footballer
He never came to Celtic as an out and out defender
His primary position on arrival was as a Defensive Midfielder
I stated he would be best playing in that position
His form at Hibs has been excellent this Season
Neil Lennon rates him
Make of that what you will
Point 4
I have never stated Boyata is our best defender (KT)
What I have stated is that Boyata is our most effective Defender when ATTACKING on a SET PIECE situation hence why Brendan Rodgers continues to pick him ove others
Make of that what you wil.
Further to these FACTS I have had you questioning my background recently (and previously) and so took it upon myself to provide CATEGORIC PROOF that what I say is actually based on FACTS.
If you want to come swimming at my depth son I suggest you go purchase some armbands fae Argos 😉

Pure dead drivel. No guts, no fight, no clue.

Lassad our former striker has suffered a heart attack aged 32, he’s in intensive care so good luck to you Lassad, the Celtic support are right behind you!
Hail Hail!
Caption: the sight of 10 green bottles all in a row too much for some.
Best wishes to Lassad. I think Boyata gets picked by BR because he is fast and can head a ball. His tackling generally is good also. Where he falls down is decision making (lack of concentration) and passing. His passes are often the wrong weight – putting the receiver under unnecessary pressure – or misdirected, which gives possession away directly. He is 26 I believe and really hasn’t played that many games due to injuries. I think BR sees potential in him and thinks he can coach him to a top level. I personally think he should be able to pass a ball by now. If I was picking the team he would not be on it.
DH Davie Hay ps thanks yokerbhoy for strange fruit big BH fan and Nina Simone.
Iain so is a beach donkey, fast a good heeder but canny find a man, Yoker is a really good bloke, but his taste in music………
Have you been in the red lion recently like…this morning? 😉
Hope you are good and revving up fur ramorra.
Mike yes in the pub a couple of times this week. All is well here, am a bit nervous about the semi hoping for no poor decisions and few mistakes. The game starts at 5am here so will leave it up to body clock! Yoker and me have the same questionable music taste methinks. Golf on hold due to lingering winter. Hope you and all yours are well.
Had to laugh at Juve “being robbed”.
JM Joe McBride
See what you’ve started Iain, this winter has been for ages, its been difficult and bitterly cold, but the temperatures are rising next week. We are always nervous when it comes to semi-finals anything can happen, but I am confidant about the team, every time any other team has asked the question, they have stepped up their game, I expect the same tomorrow. Young Ralston is playing well for the Arabs, another win today and he is improving game on game. St. Mirren won the championship today and young Lewis Morgan has been playing well also.
Have a good day tomorrow and enjoy the game Iain.
T.G. (Big Tam).
Don’t be nervous about a semi……
Nae bother Iain, very good assessment on Boyata’s strengths and weaknesses btw. He’d be ok in another SPFL or even English Championship team but he’s not Celtic material.
Cheers for the vote of confidence Mikey. I thought that now might be a fitting moment to post a couple more songs for your tittilation.
Derek McCinnes – what a waste. I don’t think the dandies will ditch him though.
HH
Only kidding Yoker (cough) I still am a big Jam fan though, used to be a Mod when Moses crossed the desert, Uni scarf and Lambrusco scooter, he he, You are both spot on about Boyata, shame too, but I get the feeling that he will be looking for pastures new come the summer. Really like Big Kris Ajer and Hendry, hoping they continue to develop and become the players that we all want them to be, here’s hoping. Looking forward to tomorrow and sending them back down their hole. Enjoy the game Yoker and your music.
The steel men deserve to be in the final, the Dandies well he set them up wrongly and they got what they deserved, should have played GMS and Niall keeping the ball on the ground from the off and worked harder. He has a job for life at Aberdeen and he likes it up there where he keeps the seagulls happy…squawk. 😉
Ha ha, cheers Mike. Mike the Mod, eh? I’ll have to post up the Kinks, the Who and the Small Faces next time. Looks like another final against Murderwell could be on. I’ve just replied to you at the end of yesterday’s thread btw. Post up some of your own sounds Mikey!

On Lassad I’ve just heard on the Spanish TV news that it was only thanks to the fact that one of his teammates (Alcolea) at C.D. Toledo, who happened to be skilled in first-aid, that he survived the stroke. Well done that man. Lassad’s condition is now stable but still very serious and our thoughts and prayers are with him. The general feeling is that he’ll pull through.

Morning fellow Tims,
I haven’t read any news about Rogic, I just know that Armstrong is doubtful. If both of them are out it shouldn’t make too much of a difference as Ntcham and McGregor will step up to the plate and could prove to be key men for us. The adrenalin surge is starting to get the better of my hangover so I’m feeling pretty optimistic right now. In fact I’d like to change my initial 2-0 prediction to the following:
Famous Glasgow Celtic 4 sevco hun shitcunts 0
(Griffithts (2) Forrest Dembele)

😉 Morning Yoker.
Morning Mikey, let’s gie thae huns a right doin’! 🙂
GIRUT. Yoker…. 😉
JJ (WorldClass) posted Celtic’s line up for today,last night.Check it out plus there’s no horrible abuse and suchlike…..imagine indulging in stuff like that…..
Sad are the homes round Garryowen,
Since they lost their joy and pride,
And the Banchee cry links every vale,
Around the Shannon side of the ancient walls,
The broken treaty stone, undying fame surrounds your name,
Sean South from Garryowen.
The pockets of our greatcoats full of barley,
No kitchens on the run, no striking camp,
We moved quick and sudden on our own Country,
The priest lay behind the ditches, with the tramp,
We found new tactics happening each day,
Heading forward we marched by night.
C’mon the Celtic this is what we need today an Electrical Storm.
5-1

All game`ll be the sweet spot.
Let the people sing their stories & their songs

Monti… “The Belfast Child Sings Again…”
Good morning all. Peace and good health be with ye. Can’t be at the game so sing for me bhoys! I hated the auld Rangers and the new Sevco (same fans, same ‘songs’) so have trouble being objective about them. 10-0, 7-1, 6-0? But I think the game will be closer. We have the best coach and players so should win. 2-0 or 2-1 to us is my gut feeling. I would like us to play better than that though. Offsides, ‘honest’ mistakes, dodgy handballs and penalties, red cards, etc can turn a cup game upside down. We had Simo sent off previously so maybe the Mibs owe us one?
Depending on fitness:
Gordon
Lustig/Ajer/Boyata/Tierney
Brown/Ntcham (Armstrong if fit)
Forrest/Rogic/Sinclair
Dembele
Could also go with McGregor in here somewhere?
Griff/Edourard/Roberts/McGregor available.
The Sevco defence is not good enough to prevent one of us from scoring one or two and our wide men will have lots of room at Hampden. Also, nearly all of our starting nine have scored against Sevco sometime in the past, including Boyata. Sinclair and Dembele have been right hunskelpers as has Griffiths when fit.
C’mon you Bhoys in Green!
C’mon The Celtic.
If you know our history…

Of course not 🙂
Hello I’m mister crumpet, sometimes I sleep with my wife, or my fiancée or my teddy, or my many friends, would you like to sleep with me?
Mike.. You probably snore worse than me so I’ll graciously decline your invitation 😉
Just a tease, an opportunity to perhaps wearing your lovely kilt. 😉
Mike… That one was the hire outfit… Putting a few quid together for the other one
crowd fund it Weered, might put a few bob in massell, mind and get enough for the two of us….
Mike… Now there’s a thought 2 kilts for the price of one. Would the crowd funded grand sum of £7.23 cover it?
Mon noo Brendan, lets see you do your wee run down the touchline, the run of pure joyous celebration. SEE HOW HE RUNS. COYBIG.
Enjoy the game my fellow Fenians and let’s get right into this shower of ugly, manky, mutant bastards. 2-1
Today marks the 29th anniversary of the 96 Liverpool fans who sadly died during the Hillsborough Disaster. Remembered. YNWA
A gun battle erupted as both sides scrambled to return fire.
It was in the garden of St. Stevens hospital that Sean Owens was finally laid to rest. He lies in a grave marked by a simple headstone, which bears his own name and that of another volunteer..
Peter Wilson. In the same small garden, lye the remains of five other soldiers, three of whom were from the Royal Irish Rangers based at Richmond barracks. Just as with many wars, when the fighting was finished, the bodies of young men, who spent their last days on opposing sides of battle, end their time resting in the earth beside one another. RIP. volunteer Sean Owens, those who give their lives for what they believe in are the most precious of men.
Mike,
Good stuff my friend!
Monti,
The beginning of the daily countdown, heading towards the 24th. April.
Good morning screwball
A proper game of fitba…
Gordon
Lustig Boyata Ajer Tierney
Brown Ntcham
Rogic
Forrest Dembelle McGregor.
Strong bench awfy strong, heaving absolutely heaving with talent.
Take the bench onto the park, sit and eat a bridie and a gottle of gear and get a tan while you watch in comfort, singing songs and making manky signs to the mankies.
Looks like a strong team. 5 good headers of a ba’ and skill and speed with Rogic Jamesy and Callum. Griff to come on and score a couple and make it a ton! We will see how our man in question does today. Hope he dusnay efe up! Ntcham is absolutely solid, very impressive. We will control this game.
COYBIG
GC George Connelly
Well said Iain a great prediction, enjoy your beer and celebrations.
Boabbyyy M U R D O C H.
Hey rebus still think Armstrong is better than rogic ?
Iancelt,
Armstrong vs Rogic
What is your argument? Is it that Rogic scored and Armstrong didn’t?
Both are good players but I prefer Armstrong for a number of reasons, and you prefer Rogic. Today is not the day to bicker over an irrelevance.
Rebus
Dembele and rogic have been excellent
So far…the panhandlers aren’t in this. I hope we go for the jugular second half.
So far so good…..same again in the second half Bhoys!
Yer no cheering now ya fuds, your S H I T E.
F O R E…
G U B B E D. Yoker….G U B B E D.
A bit of a stroll in the park Mikey. Oh deary me, the huns are so so shite. We could watch a couple of comedy moments with big Craig, Lustig and company and still smile. We should go all out to tie up the league at Easter Road and then field the development squad against this mob of duffers the following weekend. 🙂
What a brilliant goal by big Tam the Aussie!
The double treble is on, ya fuckin’ beauty!!
TR (Tom Rogic)
Smart play, skilful play, when this team is asked the question domestically they show their talent. I agree about Easter Road, finish the league and then play the squad and give some regulars a wee holiday. Big Tom, Dembelle, Broony, the whole team hunskelpers bard none. They never turned up, but who cares, this might send them down the road. We live in hope. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. 😉
C.G. M.L. the whole team, total domination.
Cheers Mike, you too. A wee update from la Liga – five wins on the bounce for Betis puts the lads in 5th place now, 4pts above Sevilla!
Go on my son..Betis my new Spanish team. 😉
Easiest game of the year Brechin put up a better fight
I’m on the Ice Cream……bowl anyone?
YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSDSSS
I’ve got some jelly and a wee whisky! Monti – Dembele named as man of the match! Good call.
MB Big Moussa
Iain in Alberta,
Enjoy your evening sir!
HH
Should be BM Big Moussa ha ha oops Hoops Easy Easy
😉
Had relatives over today from Jersey so missed the bulk of the game … turned it on with 15’ to go.
Listening to BBC Scotland’s post match summary sounds like we gave a performance worthy of the name.
So fucking happy to shut these cunts up hopefully Lennny can get the Hibees past them in the League.
Really looking forward to the highlights tonight.
God bless the Celtic and God bless St.Brendan hunskelper supreme.
HH
You should have told the relatives to fuck off and come back tomorrow.
I was tempted though they fly back tonight.
What did you make of Moussa today?
No seen it yet canny comment.
Hold up play was excellent,movement terrific looked a lot sharper than in previous games.
Thought the much maligned Boyata had a decent game too.
They all did.
Bodes well for the run in.
HH
Out fought and out thought. Yer not cheering now ya fucking animals.
Noel,
Did you enjoy that today m8?
I had a semi throughout 🙂
It wouldn’t surprise me if the ragers collapsed for their remaining games. Halliday went mental when he was subbed and Murty has “lost the dressing room” no doubt. Morelos was shown to be a useless wee laddie!
Ntcham and Brown controlled the game showing their true class. Well done BR and all the team. Looking forward to the game at Easter Road and after that will wish NL and Hibs all the best of luck.
ON Olly Ntcham
Oh, who is hurting?
Rebus
That was pure joy. No failures in the team today. Ajer had some wobbly moments in the first half but settled down second half.
McGregor was outstanding in two roles. Dembele was back to his best. Ntcham was tireless in the midfield. Even Boyata stood tall.
Great team performance.
At 2-0, I thought, look at our bench compared to Sevco. They had nothing to bring on, whereas we had Griff, Roberts, Edouard, Sinclair.
Great day,
Rebus
Spot on big yin. E veryone had an off moment, except Gordon, but we got the job done in style. played well as a team and the work rate was superb.
Good performance but they are about the 5th best team in Scotland. Still don’t think we are firing on all cylinders let’s not underestimate a dogged Motherwell in the final. Brendan time for a few marquee signings to kick on in CL. Lustig, Boyatta and Armstrong can go with thanks for your service. Think Armstrong is a talent but his head’s in the easy money down south. Great day. But I fear the derby game is a thing of the past. But so is tickets and dyptheria. So fuck them. Fuck them all.
What a great result. Unfortunately I had to go out so missed radio commentary. Kept up with online BBC updates. I smiled… No I beamed when I read : rankers being torn apart…
Celtic showed them up with all their deficiencies for the world to see with a skilful display. HH
Their teams deid. Now Murty’s fucked and they haven’t got a pot to piss in. Hahhaha, I know I shouldn’t BUT fuck them… HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Brendan’s tacticsc and selection spot in, built from the back. Gordon deserves credit for his professional focus, I was busier watching than him but he did what he had to when he had to.
Good end to the season apart from the kicking we will get from Motherwell on 19 May.
Player ratings:
Gordon – 9 – one world class save then another top class save right after.
Pissed myself laughing when he saved from Morelos.
Would have gave him a 10 but he started the dodgy distribution stuff at times.
Lustig – 7 – steady.
Ajer – 8 – composed and assured most of the time.
Boyata- hmmmm…3 almost sold the jerseys again dilly dallying which tells me he isn’t learning.
Tierney – 7 – steady enough.
Forrest – 6 – thought the wee man could have been more determined to go at them today, he has had better days.
Ntcham – 9 – class performance.
Brown – 10 – God.
McGregor – 10- brilliantly taken goal & classy performance.
Rogic – 8- great goal & influential, disappointed to see him go off.
Dembele – 10 – Led the line brilliantly, top class penalty & showed he is a team player by giving the next penalty to Ntcham.
Brendan Rodgers – God.
Ralph/Desi,
Can you fish my team ratings post oot the bin please?
Let me guess:
Everyone – 10
Boyata – minus infinity
Close.
Well I cheered when I heard the result hahahahahaha
I must say, that was an enjoyable day at Hampden today and special thanks must go to the galant but dreadful Glasgow Sevco and their fannies. Nice to see them fuck off after the 1st penalty was given, though you would have thought they would have had the decency to see Moussa’s delightful piss take finish.
Andy Halliday, well, I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at a football match in my life.
Great day!
Wan for wee Joe
Andy Halliday….
AHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA
Good luck for tomorrow M and we’ll have our day at the cup final next month.
Henke,
Cheers my friend, how was Paul today?
He had a bad feeling about the game, so I gave him a slap and told him to not be so fucking stupid.

Caption. Me, celebrating the game
Well a truly great day, you got the feeling that the last time we played them when we went down to 10 men and still beat them that we broke them, they couldn’t cope with us today. The team were well prepared and had the luxury of a full week to prepare and the players showed there true quality’s. Big congratulations on todays performance
and to Brendan for getting it spot on. Well done also to Bobby Madhun
I thought you refereed the game really well, that’s two on the trot that you have refereed fairly. A great day for the Celts.
D.D. (Dixie Deans).
I don’t know . . . maybe I’m just a greedy bastard but I’ve got to say Celtic let them off lightly at 4-0. I’d’ve loved to have seen them going for 7 or 8 and really impressed on this filth the level they’re at and hopefully will never scramble back up from. I feckin hate them with every ounce of my being and I’m sure hell won’t be full till every last one of the bastards are in it. Apart from that . . . all in all a good day.
I’ve just rewatched this and it only confirms to me what I’ve thought for a long time now: Andy Walker should be shot between the eyes with a ball of his own shite.
O`what a Beautiful mornin`.

Monti; I know you’re Boyata’s biggest critic and most of the time I can’t argue with you but credit where it’s due: the big fella hardly put a foot wrong yesterday did he? No sanctifying but he did OK. No?
Stevie D,
Did you miss the bit where his indecision almost let Morelos take the ball of him?
Carbon copy of his gaffe that led to losing the first goal at ibrox?
In fairness the remainder of the game he was fine.

Bowl sir?
Thinking about suing Sevco due to my ice cream & Jelly induced expanding waistline.
I’m a 28 waist now 🙂
Cough cough
Monti… those 28 centimetres just don’t tell the whole story…
I listened and watched the commentators giving their opinions and I thought how can you say “Rangers” are shite, without actually saying the words. Total humiliation, the score line doesn’t describe how bad they were, but then again, how good were our players. After all their hopes and dreams, their “cheering” in the dressing room and then, our win with ten men. Yesterday’s performance everyone of our players was well prepared and up for the game, while theirs looked nervous, they did not have a clue….they are done. When you bring in a new bunch of players, initially they are confident but they are not used to the BIG games, that is a difference, also they were nowhere near as fit as our players, nervous exhaustion does that, it robs you of your stamina. Fuck EM.
Mike…. It’s no wonder that that young lad went for a 4 year deal away from rancid…I bet Murty wishes he could get a similar deal elsewhere and now realises the kid was wiser than he 🙂
Oh Hampden in the sun, Celtic four the mankies none!! 😉
When Craig Gordon put his comic magazine down,those 2 saves were majestic.
His tippy-tapping passin` around the defence can`t be allowed though.
Same with the rest of them.
