Fate intervenes in football regularly. Friday, 21 April, marks the 100th anniversary of Celtic’s UK record of 62 league games unbeaten finally ending. Willie Maley’s team won 49 of the 62 games, but took their eye off the ball on the second last game of a long season, at home to Kilmarnock.
The run stood as a European record for 70 years until the great Steaua Bucharest European Cup winning team eclipsed it.
While we will remember one of the early great Celtic teams, with Patsy Gallacher, Alec McNair and Jimmy McMenemy, thoughts inevitably turn to the tantalising prospect of an unbeaten record which would be just as incredible – that of an invincible domestic treble.
100 years and two days after Maley’s team’s great run came to an end, Brendan Rodgers’ team put their aspirations on the line in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden. The weight of history will not burden Brendan or the players, but Sunday is a great opportunity to mark the passing of one incredible record by setting your sights on another.
Great records happen at Celtic. It’s time for another one.
I’ve no axe to grind with Dundee one way or another. Completely understood the decision to sack Paul Hartley. Whatever was going on, the prospect of relegation after losing a play-off against Dundee United was looming large, but good grief, appointing a rookie from the television!
Apart from saying, “Don’t take tax advice from an adult film producer”, I can’t imagine what else he will tell the players with any authority.
SPECIAL OFFER OF BOOK & T-SHIRT EXTENDED UNTIL FRIDAY!

The GERS figures are as accurate and reliable as such figures can be.
Which is a bit of a bummer if they destroy your economic case.

ART OF WAR.

Seconded mate.
H.H
Art of War- i’ll split 2 yellow cards with you…
Bhoys, i forgot that due to the bank holiday the panel doesn’t sit till next week :-)
So just like our Capitano i’ll be able to keep my boots on till my fate is decided.
Ernie are you paid by the hour by your political masters or by those bloggers you ‘convert’ to your cause.
If it’s the latter you’ll be a poor wretch indeed. But at least you had the nous to recognise who i was referring to.
Brendan’s team
Gordon
Lustig
Simunovic
Boyata
Tierney
normal back four
Brown
Armstrong
Forrest
Rogic
Sinclair
Dembele
thank me later.
Some talk of the Huns hacking our Bhoys on Sunday.Going through the probable Hun team,I really cant see this being a reality.
Louden Tavernier. Nope
Norman Bates No idea,but probably,Nope
Hearts Reject Nope.
Potman No idea,but a maybe.
Hyndman Nope
Toral Nope
Holt Deffo.
Dodoo,or Bazza Nope
Miller Maybe,if temper goes.
Joe Garngad Punchbag Deffo,with elbows.
So the couple of chancers who could try,should easily be dealt with.I have to say,this looks the wimpiest Hun 11 I have ever seen.I can see Broony,Moussa,Joze,Lustig etc being bullied by this lot.NOT.
Alex Schalk is cheat
Wouldn’t be surprised if Scott Browns ban somehow landed on cup final day?
Art of War
I couldn’t agree more
BOURNESOUPRECIPE
Apparently he’s upset the wee flower, a serial cheat being upset ‘magine at:(((
Starry
He’s got previous, and escaped lightly.
Thanks for the support troops.
Bourne, don’t think they’ll ban him for final but i think they will bar our players wearing the Hoops and force the change strip.
Anything to suck the enjoyment out of our day- should we get there- in whatever form they can. Boo!!!
BOURNESOUPRECIPE
He’s a rotter Bourne, a stone cold rotter, no matter what Big Shift Key might have to say..
Roll on Sunday till we vanquish those other rotters!
AOW
They’ll think of something
Starry

Raging At Celtic

My only post re General Election is this
Dennis Skinner has the balls to tell the truth about the Tory party their cheating and their policies about making the rich richer and treating the poor and infirm dreadfully..
Has the SNP actually done anything for the people of Britain or Scotland?
I deal with them and their promises daily
They will wait till Tory policies have taken all the benefits from the poor and come in riding on their WHITE CHARGER…
As TD says just my opinion
UTLR☘️☘️☘️☘️
BT,
Dennis Skinner: he’s the one I was thinking of this morning. My Dad is a big fan. (I am too.)
BSR
The wee Diving Dutchman is not a first pick for Ross County most weeks. So he gets banned fae being a sub for 2 games.
Good evening friends
Tonight I’m mostly going for Monaco and Barca (at minus 1). Apart from our own games I think I’ve only watched 2 other Champions League games this season. Changed days. Or nights.
DELANEYS
Licenced to cheat, two points for the run in.
Not to mention Robertson getting off with an alleged ‘honest mistake’.
