After all the screaming and crying after the extra time own goal defeat to plucky newcomers “rangers “, which handed them an opportunity to win their first ever Scottish cup, Celtic got back down to business on Sunday and recorded a 2-0 win in Dingwall over Ross County.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not to be confused with the leader of the Scottish conservative party , of course, as the football club has an extra vowel in it’s name.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There I go again, drifting off into politics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hardly surprising, given the brouhaha over Angela Rayner allegedly crossing her legs a la Sharon Stone to distract Boris Johnson during Prime Ministers Question time , when realistically another fanny on view in that place wouldn’t have made any difference whatsoever.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, if Rayner or her party really want to distract him, I’ve a lump hammer they can borrow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back to the football, and the win in the north may have set a few nerves jangling, mostly at the BBC , it seems as they hoped for a chink of light in the darkness of their own favourites league campaign…<\/p>\n

Celtic will go into the final Old Firm game of the season six points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership after a nervy win at Ross County.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Nervy ?<\/div>\n

\u00a0Aye,,,edge of the seat and behind the couch stuff. I do yoga, so can do both at the same time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0In fact, Celtic went to a very difficult venue to face a side that has done very well in recent months, one which boasts one of the best goalscorers in the league, and won quite comfortably with a disciplined performance.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Though credit has to go to Kevin Clancy, who booked a County player early on to set the tone for the style in which County would have to play.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Even after just four minutes, the offender, Callachan…spelt the Scottish way, never a good sign, had committed two reckless challenges, and by booking him, Clancy stifled the County game plan, forcing them to try to play football.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0One interesting incident took place when joe Hart attempted to take a goal kick, and the County player who tried to block him was booked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0In the Laws of the Game, thats a cautionable offence…..<\/div>\n
