craig - good team line-up, but Aiden on the right and Shaun on the left. You could also swap Robbo for Naka, with SB in the advanced midfield role. Bit more bite for the SPL.
We will also have to be very selective with Naka's game time, as he has already complained about all the travelling taking its toll on him.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They're the finest team in Scotland, I'm sure you will agree,
We'll never give up till we've won the cup and the Scottish football league.
They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,
They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,
From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,
To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They're the finest team in Scotland, I'm sure you will agree,
We'll never give up till we've won the cup and the Scottish football league.
There's Fallon, Young and Gemmel who proudly wear the green,
There's Clark, McNeill and Kennedy, the best there's ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes,
And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.

Enjoyed the Freedom of Speech debate last night. had to check out at 1.30am cos my eyes wouldnty work anymore no matter how many buds I drank.....
Your a wee strirrer Kojo - what my ole man would have tagged an instigator. Certainly stirred me and a few others up.
Did not realise you were in LV. Just back from there this month - we got hitched this time. Mrs jinx has relatives there - North Vegas - god thats a dodgy highway (215 & 95)- with all the frigging lights on the strip you would think a few bulbs up would be ez. They stay just off N Rancho - unfortunately from (fittingly give the highway comments) the darkside.
Anyone travelling to Villareal and would like any local travel advice or if your passing thru Valencia and want to know where to enjoy a decent pint...give me a shout.
Here's hoping the weather improves too..
Not a legal opinion but it seems to me that a copy of the American Constitution sort of sits in a picture frame hanging prominently on the wall in every American home.
The British Constitution however sort of lies rolled up in a newspaper somewhere in a box up in the attic or - Hang on! Did we throw it out? You get my drift.
This probably explains why Americans are quicker to go to litigation than the Brits, their lawyers just take the picture off their client's wall and head to court. We Brits send the wean up to the attic to see if he can find anything, then spend weeks poring over a War time edition of The Daily Record wondering how Hugh Keevins ever made it as a journalist and complaining that Rangers kept all their good players at home!
Anyway my particular crusade against TFS was only sparked after I read all the lyrics in full and it came not from the Irish aspect but from the human decency one, as a Scot I do not wish this song to be thought representative of citizens of my country and until it is officially repudiated in full, who can blame anyone for arriving at that conclusion?
I think my grandad was Irish (I really need to check this out) but I feel no strong connection to Ireland. I visited Dublin once to watch my daughter play soccer in a tournament, had a good time but its just like Glasgow and Glasgow is nearer.(to me obviously not you :)
Not that it matters a jot but I describe myself as a Cathaholic, that is someone who gave up believing in Catholic guilt a while ago. Of course if I'm not guilty (in God's eyes), neither is anyone else. Talk about the truth setting you free......
On WGS I seem to remember a season or two back saying that he would not mind emulating Sir Alex Ferguson in terms of attractive style of play and longevity, the latter a consequence of the former. For the first time since WGS arrival, and I hope today confirms it, I see a Celtic side playing with flair and with options all over the park and I'm beginning to wonder if WGS is beginning to acheive his ambition.
if u fancy the "irish bar" vibe, st patricks is the best...it's a wee walk from the city centre but is do-able in 15 mins, if you want a seat with a view then you'll get a nice cold magners in finnegans overlooking the cathedral...
i'm waiting on my briefs too, sent wednesday recorded delivery, starting to sweat, i'm travelling up with the british consulate(who's from dublin) on the tuesday afternoon...
if yer here monday we could hook up and i'll give u a wee tour...
btw, my dads in playa flamenca at the mo and is going to paddys point today for the game..
A 5 week trip? Not very pleasant. When I was in Angola and Cote d'Ivoire, I worked (approximately) 2 months down there, then 1 month at home. Not very good for the social life. Even worse, it was for the now long-gone Ranger Oil!!!!!! Maybe I should take a job over in Govan, and that mob could be gone in a couple of years too??
Will you get 5 weeks off now? Or only 3?
Your loon lost 4-2? Sorry to hear that, seems to be a bad score for us this season!
Just started raining here now. Should have been down at the game today, but my car was hit by another motor yesterday, so don't feel like driving today. Nothing major with the car - front passenger door stoved in, and scuffing / scratching on the rear passenger door. Think the door post and sill are OK, but will get that checked out next week at the Accident Repair Centre. Car was still driveable. I was a wee bit shaken, but no sign of any damage to me!
Anyway, she-who-must-be-obeyed is on here way up to Turra, so better get the kettle on for her tea, later!
I have circumvented timlaw 1 with use of my impressive cranial capacity of 9. Good news "Bloggers", it appears the historical databanks recorded that the one known as Marc Crosas broke his "duck" in this daily plasmaball traverse. The databanks further report that CelticFc won by 3 onion carrier bulges to no onion carrier bulges. I trust none of you shall take advantage of th.....Agent Megamamms....the machine quick....the Biggest machines have arrived.....
Sterling display at the back would be a confidence booster for CL and of course the Greek Ghod to keep rattling them in would keep the momentum going.
Seems like a common theme on Crosas - thinking we all can spot a goodun but obviously WGS wants to break him in gently so I thought he might be spared today for Villareal. But heard on Sky BR is out with a groin strain.
So tell me - where does the moniker come from and why didnt you notice the FOD connection or think about a more CFC friendly one?
I think the Celtic support have enjoyed Crosas' passing ability and I would note that our most effective midfield performances have come with him in the middle.
Last Year l Bet Adebuyour for EPL Top Goalscorer @ 33/1 and all Prices Down He was Even Money to Pip Ronaldo at One Point....Got His Haircut and Stopped Scoring....
This Year l Have Torres after Giving Me a Turn with Spain in Euro 08....Was Wondering why he isn't Scoring....Yes You Guessed it He's Cut His Hair....
The Moral of this Story is....If Any of You see My Bhoy Georgious going Near a Barber Shop....FFS....Rugby Tackle Him....
What about mad wattie in the papers today saying Rangers are the best they've ever been under him. Surely a terrible indictment of all his previous teams. Has he actually watched much of them lately. I still cannot believe how easily they beat us cause they're total rank.
Onwards to 4iar. Crosas and Sami to star again today. JVH to hit form too.
Agree, we need confidence at back for CL game, hoping Loovens comes good but no matter how well he plays today I reckon WGS wont take a chance in him for CL. Crosas looks great, knows where he's passing before he recieves the ball, defensively i'm not so sure of him yet. As for the moniker, I have no excuses,a momentary lapse of reason on my part..will need to figure out how to change it, suspect i will be getting relentless abuse otherwise...
Once a Bhoy,
I hear ya,tried the confidence thing and predicted we would hump the FOD 3 - 0 last game and look what happened. Happier fearing the worst
Samaras picks the ball up 25 yards out and drives at the dismal dons defence. The ball breaks to JVOH who bashes a left footed finish into the bottom right from 14 yards.
Incidentally, I haven't posted for ages because I forgot my password so I have re-registered. I used to be peterML5 for anyone that remembers, I was hardly the most prolific of posters on here.
That single goal is looking awful good, at the moment.
Expect, that Gordon will have a few things to say, regarding Celtic's defense...not looking too confident... at times the Celtic area is mores like a testing area for the Dodgem Cars.
We have played well in spells so far but there have also been periods where we have struggled to keep the ball and found ourselves under pressure. The midfield has been disappointing especially going forward. Maloney has contributed very little and Naka is playing very deep. Brown doing a lot of charging around with very little end product. Crosas is playing a Hartley type game and has also suffered from poor distribution. The defence have looked disorganised but to their credit they have restricted Aberdeen to half chances from the edge of the box.
Sammy has looked our best player again. His link up play has been excellent. He looks like a nightmare to play against. JVOH took his goal well but Aberdeen should have cleared the ball before it broke to JVOH. Credit to Sammy for sticking at it and forcing their error.
Would like to see Aiden on for the second half for either Maloney or Brown.
Not a bad first half from Celtic, Maloney is having a quiet game but good preformance from Wilson, Crosas, Naka, Brown, Loovens and Samaras. Naka is my MotM so far, all the nice passing play is coming from him, can't hear the crowd, I don't know if it is because I am receiving a poor audio from the video stream so I am force to listen to Radio Scotland and they tend to turn down the volume of the crowd unless they are broadcasting from Ipox. After 20 minutes I would bring on Aiden for Maloney if his play does not improve.
Seems to me we were preoccupied with hitting high balls up for Samaras to control and lay off...
Missing out the midfield too much. As a result Maloney has yet to warm up.
Crosas only begining to get on the ball. Naka showing his class at times though...
Happy with the lead but we should have been two up. Naka or Naylor deserved their goals that should have been... A lack of concentration was too evident at times.
Fortunately we were not punished for it...
Some Thinking about Villareal Perhaps.....
Not as beguiling as I hoped at the start but still flashes of good stuff...
Early one for us in the second and we will relax and play a bit more...
I was glad to hear the whistle at half time. I agree with you re Scott Brown, if only he had a first touch and better ball control he would be a great player!
Zander Diamond is having a good game for the Dons, I always thought that he would be a good aquisition for Celtic as he would die for his bhoyhood heroes
Ok OK i know aw aboot Dr John but if this is true, well:)

2008 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I knowin'
While the Rebel bands sweatin'
And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the power that be
Let me hear you say
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the powerWe’ve got to Fight the power that be.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, now you’re talking Public Timeny and a fight back against the evil deeds of the dark side. One has to wonder though why our board are not far more vocal in their condemnation of the current ‘one is bad as each other’ nonsense currently doing the rounds thanks to Sir Moonbeams spin doctors and an ever so helpful group of poodles masquerading as the Scottish press. Our man informs us they are not falling into the media’s trap of a tit-for-tat battle and instead have been heavily involved in ensuring the appropriate people at a political level, including European football, deal with this matter appropriately. We did tell you a while ago the Huns are a bawhair away from a long-term ban from Europe…………watch this space………….also expect to see Gordon Nice and his cronies being hauled in front of UEFA once the investigation being carried out is complete. The McGregor dropping is more linked to his wild behaviour over the last few weeks rather than necessarily a dip in form as has been said "officially". One of our snouts lives near to Shallow Al and recently he's been having numerous late night parties with the obligatory dumb blonde in tow and matters came to a head last week apparently as a Director of the darkside also lives in the same apartment area as Shallow Al. The party in Al's was going on loud and strong at 3am much to annoyance of the club director who put his RFC slippers on before promptly marching to Al’s door telling him to turn the music down etc. Shallow basically told him to “fclukinpeesharffyafeckgnclunt” which our Ayrshire interpreter kindly advised us translates to “Naw” and of course returned to his party and promptly turned the music up even louder. Shallow and his bimbo a little while later were heard (and seen) shouting at each other in the street and causing all manner of public unrest in a very "Ricksen-esque" manner. The next day the Director chap had a word with Sir Moonbeams with his expulsion from the team basically a result of his @rsehole-like behaviour. According to our man – Shallow thinks he's the dogs bollox and that he's some kinda big guy - "d'ye know who I am"? type of syndrome, which we hope some kind soul over Ibrox way will help him out by stitching his name in rather large writing just in case he forgets in the future. By all accounts expect Shallow to be out of the first team for quite a wee while yet. Final point on the Shallow Al story. Our ‘pals’ in the Scottish press have been aware of this for a week now but have resisted publishing. One can only wonder why…………. On that front we hear WGS purposely leaked a story about Celtic disharmony to check out some targets regarding press conspiracy.
The head shot of Setanta personally called WGS to apologise after Dr Death called to say they would be removed from all club activities
Hernan Crespo has told Celtic he’s willing to come for 100k a week and on condition everyone, including the board, wears mullet wigs. Celtic have offered Scott McDonald in a swap deal instead. Our esteemed Chairman's "previous" with certain members of a Unionist persuasion had a six county MP somewhat perturbed last week we hear.Gregory Campbell's outburst on 'IRA songs' was as much an attempt at smokescreen from one of followfollow's more celebrated posters as it was a wee veiled dig at Reid. Apparently the bold Gregory got a little uppity in a meeting with Reid with the DUP team in the Doctors term as Secretary of State for the 6 counties. Arriving some 10 minutes early they were less than enamoured on entering Reid's office to having several airings of "The Fields of Athenry" blasting from the television as Reid sat glued watching O'Neills team beating Liverpool at Anfield. Apparently Nigel Dodds requested that the TV be turned down only for Reid to point out that 'the two greatest football teams
on the planet are playing - what an atmosphere!'.
Added to the fact that he greeted 'C Company' and the UDA nutters headed up by Adair with the now immortal 'who'd have thought you lads
would be sitting in here with a Catholic Glaswegian Celtic supporter talking peace' it's fair to say Dr John isn't exactly flavour of the month / year / decade with Big Ian's team.
Sticking with Politics, discussions continue on the re-opening of Parkhead train station and one Councillor who drinks wae a dad of a pal of a friend of ours tells us there's whispers of a proposal to allow the station to be renamed in honour of a Celtic legend. Watch out for an RST campaign to get Cessnock Underground renamed no doubt in around 5 years time.
Meanwhile, questions being asked about who's really in charge of signings at Celtic. We got told of a very sad scene at Lennoxtown last week when the first team squad were pulling on their gleaming Celtic strips for the Official team photo. Poor Pat McCourt is among those pulling on the hoops until he is approached by Strachan and told to get back into his training gear as he is not a member of the first team squad. Apparently our Ireland scout was told to go watch McCourt when he was with Derry City, the scout said he didn't have to as he had seen enough of him already and knew he wasn't good enough for Celtic. Next thing he knows McCourt has signed. On whose authority is the $64k question?The Credit Crunch, alas its affecting us all. We see Celtic had to pay off a third of its debt to the bank. Despite the Board and certain tub-thumpers out there heralding "great results" and "fiscal prudence", we hear the Financial squeeze is going on big style down Celtic Park way and we can only pray that if Celtic are having strong bank pressure, then whats its gonna be like for Rangers? We're told there was quite a bit of concern around Ibrox Finance offices as soon as news broke of a HBOS and the TSB takeover. We all know what happened the last time a fresh pair of eyes looked at the Rangers accounts when the Halifax bought the Bank of Scotland.
Star Spotting - Kirk Broadfoot back in Bamboo telling the wee blonde barmaid 'I'm playing for Scotland now, what d'you say hen?' and hey, was that really Rangers new star Pedro Mendez pacing outside the Royal infirmary on Thursday night? We hear congratulations in order to a certain Daily Scottish Journalist who has been promised a few Ghost writer credits down Ibrox way due to his impressive One Man campaign to herald all things Rangers and discredit all things Celtic this season. Claims he already has his POTY card filled in with Pedro Mendez or Kirk broadfoot are slightly premature.
Congrats and kudos also go to FunbhoyFree over at YouTube for his latest wind up at Ibrox. Will they never learn? To hear the events Manager almost wet his wet blue drawers at the thought of a major Pop concert being played at Ibrox next summer was brilliant. The rider from the band was genius 'it needs to be Alpaca!'- hahaha . The best bit though is you when can almost hear the guys heart break when he is told that the 'secret band' are U2. Respect! We have also been tipped that there's a peach of a 'Dominic Keane calls up the RBS ' in the can ( as they say!), cant wait. The rumours still abound that its Glasgow 'comic' Des MacLean at work but we pray it isnae as we hate George Bowie!
Which two well known Spanish players based in Scotland have already fallen out. Any two from 3 out of Crosas, Novo and Fernandez. We will give you a clue, Crosas still talks to Fernandez. Seems a few choice comments were made over a plate of tapas or two at Cafe Andaluz down Cresswell Lane recently which saw Crosas walk out and leave wee Ugly face greeting over the bill and yet another soured relationship. Then again he's used to souring relationships. While on Crosas..he may be the first, but hes not the last. Come January, at least 1 other player ready for first team could make the move up North, name we have been given is Sergi Busquets Burgos, who sounds like someone from the Fast Show, and also 2 academy youngsters coming over to 'toughen' up (Go straight to cliche corner - Ed). Barca will also travel west to play Celtic next year after they do their annual tour or St andrew, Dundee and Edinburgh.
Its okay, you can stop feeling scared. Stephen Pressley WILL be back at Celtic Park! We'll give you a few minutes to scream. Finshed?. We're told Elvis will be back coaching our first team defence next season. Seems he’s very, very highly thought of by WGS and Pendrey on the training pitch. Meanwhile Willie McStay is rumoured to have declined a move to step up a position at Hamilton, seems he’s waiting on any progress regards a vulnerable position just west of Ibrox way.
Which well known Fans representative was raging at not getting the expected recognition for the recent 'Ulster Day' celebrations at Ibrox. Poor diddums, why not write up another letter and post around every Press Box as normal?
Just why is Mark Brown so happy when he hears Celtic could be signing another back up keeper in the 6ft 6" Cervi, who sounds like a big f*nny ( work it out!) ? Anything to do with him reaching a certain duration milestone in his contract? Must be great to be quids in for having a square arse?
We hear certain problems stemming from way back and previous loan deals between the managers may have affected the signing talks between Burnley and Celtic regards the latest Rangers crock Kyle Lafferty. Looks like a lucky escape!
Talk of a sensational 'experimental' 4-1-3-2 formation against Villarreal. Please god naw. Naw naw naw! In the words of Hall & Oats, say it isnt so!
Hibs tried to sign Hartley along with Riordan. Sadly for Mixu, Frank Gallagher told them 'Thanks but not THIS season'. Craig Levein was also sniffing around the possibility of taking Beardy away from Celtic but Dundee was a dump, we mean jump, too far.
January signings...Sunderland scouts have asked for briefs for all games. Seems they’re still upset at missing out on Maloney ( Keane had the chance of chat but was tied up in other contract talks we are told) and is now considering a Strachan style 'double swoop' come January. Again any 2 from 3 between Maloney, McGeady and Caldwell is being suggested.
Our friend Yosser tells us corporate whispers at Everton have their eyes turned towards a final pay off for our Naka and the commercial spin offs that would generate. Last estimates using the ETims abacus show Celtic make an average of 45k a month from Naka Press access requests. Shame the Celtic fc Japanese website didn’t quite hit the same sites. If only they had listened to us at the Focus group meeting.
Good to see young Paul Caddis getting a go against Livingston. We're told both he and O'Dea demanded to be let out on loan as both are desperate to get first team football. Strachan managed to appease them, for now. Come January, could be a different story.
Balde has the world at his feet, unlike a ball. He could go to Birmingham in January. Celtic will only have to pay £200k to get rid of him and McLeish is willing to stump up the £400k which Celtic are asking for the poverty stricken centre half but we are told a certain Canadian based manager, his name rhymes with Ludas, has been sniffing out the possibility of taking Bobo over the Atlantic for a wee couple of easy seasons.
Talking of former players, Is Sean Diamond set to be the next Shay Given? After being released by Celtic the Celtic daft youngster was snapped up by St Johnstone and soon found himself being selected for the Rep of Ireland's Under 17s where we are assured he has a rosy future.So that’s us for another week of stuff, nonsense and completely made up shite but if we’ve made one person smile then our job is complete. You know the drill by now anything you want to share please send to etims.contact@gmail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and we promise to ignore the best, consider the average and publish the worst as it’s the kind of damn living on the edge fools we are
We had a problem in the Celtic Central Defence ..and Left Back.. yer... Naylor, is back sliding a tad...
Not as bad as he was.. But, today.. I was not pleased with his Tackling... It was extremely Poor.
So...what about Tues.?
Need to bring in Caddis..where he shall play?.. I do not know, but he ,makes a big improvement to the Team, whenever he plays.
I also want Massimo , for Tues...that is a Defo!
And...
Aiden, must be a STARTER..
Jvoh?
Georgie Bhoy?
Look to me... Undroppable Combo..although, the smarts of Macko.. will be missed..
I believe Macko is on his way back to form..
Ach!
I think I shall just leave the selection process to the Manager..
He proved, to me..that he is a Great Manager.
Once again, he pulled a Rabbit..or wiz it no Two?..and frankly it wiz soitenly no a Rabbit.. eether.. out of the Hat..mair like a Mary Poppins miracle.
Could this be a pivotal weekend in the SPL.Celtic fight back in a manner reminiscent of so many matches in recent seasons, while (please) their city neighbours lose ground at Easter Road. !
We knocked it about ok 1st half but tried a few too many goal of the season plays (Press have Marco Van Boyd down for that so dont bother).
Defence didnt look too clever all day - and I thought big Mick had called it a day whe he ended up 5 rows back in the main stand - on his heid (only thing he got his heid to all day).
Could see the goals coming a mile off - and just knew it would be their left back (forgot all about him yesterday when I was on about Scottish left backs dohhhh!) It was written in the script that he would score - but not twice surely - and Artur must have realised the boys left footed and not took up that position at the FK. Have to say it was never a free kick though.
Great comeback though even if it was a bit desperate (with the formation changing so much even our players were confused)
In a nutshell - despite the win - it was a below par performance and the same could be said for the crowd. We didnt get behind the team until we were 2-1 down. Thinks its been said before but its our place to lift the team not theirs to lift us.
Anyways - 3 points and a scare that hopefully is a reality check for CL. Two other points - and I cant believe I am saying this first one - welcome bacl Gary caldwell. And thinks we expect too much from Marc Crosas right now - looks like he will need more time to settle in SPL.
Iv,e often criticised Gordon for baffling tactics and substitutions.
Today taking off the ineffective Maloney for Aiden and giving Naka a more central role was a masterstroke.
Naka,s man followed him inside and left a ton of space for Aiden to exploit,hence the reason he had space to play so many dangerous balls.He set up both goals so evidence speaks for itself.
Really enjoyed last 20 mins i love when we attack in waves to me thats playing football the Glasgow Celtic way.
Fantastic goal and skill from big Jan for winner
.
Will post when Wife-Swap finishes
o1bhoy
Predicting 4-0 today.
Just missed.
ibleed - installment defo paid yesterday.
craig - good team line-up, but Aiden on the right and Shaun on the left. You could also swap Robbo for Naka, with SB in the advanced midfield role. Bit more bite for the SPL.
We will also have to be very selective with Naka's game time, as he has already complained about all the travelling taking its toll on him.
Big G hat-trick? Hmmmm.
TTTT

Who Said Men Can't Multi-Task... ;o))))

Not a legal opinion but it seems to me that a copy of the American Constitution sort of sits in a picture frame hanging prominently on the wall in every American home.
The British Constitution however sort of lies rolled up in a newspaper somewhere in a box up in the attic or - Hang on! Did we throw it out? You get my drift.
This probably explains why Americans are quicker to go to litigation than the Brits, their lawyers just take the picture off their client's wall and head to court.

Big Joe -
A 5 week trip? Not very pleasant. When I was in Angola and Cote d'Ivoire, I worked (approximately) 2 months down there, then 1 month at home. Not very good for the social life. Even worse, it was for the now long-gone Ranger Oil!!!!!! Maybe I should take a job over in Govan, and that mob could be gone in a couple of years too??
Will you get 5 weeks off now? Or only 3?
Your loon lost 4-2? Sorry to hear that, seems to be a bad score for us this season!
Just started raining here now. Should have been down at the game today, but my car was hit by another motor yesterday, so don't feel like driving today. Nothing major with the car - front passenger door stoved in, and scuffing / scratching on the rear passenger door. Think the door post and sill are OK, but will get that checked out next week at the Accident Repair Centre. Car was still driveable. I was a wee bit shaken, but no sign of any damage to me!
Anyway, she-who-must-be-obeyed is on here way up to Turra, so better get the kettle on for her tea, later!

I have circumvented timlaw 1 with use of my impressive cranial capacity of 9. Good news "Bloggers", it appears the historical databanks recorded that the one known as Marc Crosas broke his "duck" in this daily plasmaball traverse. The databanks further report that CelticFc won by 3 onion carrier bulges to no onion carrier bulges. I trust none of you shall take advantage of th.....Agent Megamamms....the machine quick....the Biggest machines have arrived.....

How's it going mate?
You heard the new Mogwai album, "The Hawk is Howling" containing the track "Scotland's Shame"?
It's amazing.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
jinkysboy...
expecting a decent win 3-0..always scared of tempting fate though..another brace for Sammi
Oh, anyone wanting to listen to "Scotland's Shame" by Mogwai, the whole album is up on their myspace so you can try before you potentially buy.
Mogwai Myspace
I'm going with Titor, 3-0 with Crosas to strike. I'll stick with big Samazeus for the other two.
The bhoys to win by a big margin today. Crosas and Sami to turn on the style.
Ger
Sterling display at the back would be a confidence booster for CL and of course the Greek Ghod to keep rattling them in would keep the momentum going.
Seems like a common theme on Crosas - thinking we all can spot a goodun but obviously WGS wants to break him in gently so I thought he might be spared today for Villareal. But heard on Sky BR is out with a groin strain.
So tell me - where does the moniker come from and why didnt you notice the FOD connection or think about a more CFC friendly one?
ger
My wee brother is a bit like that,tempting fate.
Live with faith not fear.
4-0 going on 6 or 7.

I think the Celtic support have enjoyed Crosas' passing ability and I would note that our most effective midfield performances have come with him in the middle.
He must start for me.

Ive a wee soft spot for NUFC (lost it while the beast was there) and feel for them to be such a laughing stock.
What a lesson for all to see such a great club with fans so passionate to get to the state they are in.
aidinho and broony must be looking at that and thinking " whew what a lucky escape not to sign for them last year then"
Sammi for a hat trick at 28/1 sounds not bad.
Wee chance of a penalty, another long mazy run, a neat header and there you go......easy money.
Hail Hail.

Hope you have a good day buddy.
I was a bit grumpy after the home defeat to Rangers and knew I wouldn't be much fun on the blog after that. I'm calm now though :^)
All the best.
The whole thing is free to listen to on their myspace but I got it out of Zavvi for a tenner. Dunno if it's cheaper online.
What about mad wattie in the papers today saying Rangers are the best they've ever been under him. Surely a terrible indictment of all his previous teams. Has he actually watched much of them lately. I still cannot believe how easily they beat us cause they're total rank.
Onwards to 4iar. Crosas and Sami to star again today. JVH to hit form too.

At work, was away from PC for a while...
jinkysboy,
Agree, we need confidence at back for CL game, hoping Loovens comes good but no matter how well he plays today I reckon WGS wont take a chance in him for CL. Crosas looks great, knows where he's passing before he recieves the ball, defensively i'm not so sure of him yet. As for the moniker, I have no excuses,a momentary lapse of reason on my part..will need to figure out how to change it, suspect i will be getting relentless abuse otherwise...
Once a Bhoy,
I hear ya,tried the confidence thing and predicted we would hump the FOD 3 - 0 last game and look what happened. Happier fearing the worst

Just one more chance.

No goal from the corner but a good spell of pressure after two good crosses from Nakamura.
Loovens almost gets on the end of a Scott Brown flick but goes out for a goal kick
Dangerous free kick as Maloney is fouled on the edge of the area.
Maloney takes but held by the GK. Murdo MacLeod says it was a shot.
Good run from Maloney wins a FK wide on left...
Sorry, should have said LEFT edge of the area.
Aberdeen GK cuts out a cross from Samaras to JVOH after a surging run by the Greek.
Nice play from Sammy - saved by keeper

Mick falls awkwardly on his hand - may have dislocated a finger - currently off to get it sorted
McManus is back on the park now.
JVOH SCORES!
Goal! JVOH!
Samaras picks the ball up 25 yards out and drives at the dismal dons defence. The ball breaks to JVOH who bashes a left footed finish into the bottom right from 14 yards.

You wouldn't mind popping out 5 or 6 more times in this half would you ;^)
Aberdeen are surging after losing that goal.
Crosas clears off the line then Miller misses a sitter from 6 yards.
We need to get back on top!
Diamond off the line! Let's not get too complacent here!
Off the line by Crosas as the defence fail to win a header from the corner. Then just over from them.
We need to get the ball down and keep possession
Good save by Artur
Aberdeen putting on the pressure
Samaras seems to grow with each game in the hoops - he is a real handful
We're soaking up alot of pressure just now, need to get the ball down and keep it for a while.
Good play from Celtic to answer the pressure from Aberdeen. JVOH narrowly missing the ball in the challenge with Diamond.
Excellent move but Wilsons cross just to high for JVOH
Aberdeen are keeping possession well and we need to try to calm things down.
Severin seems to be carrying a knock according to Radio Scotland.
crosas not been too involved so far.....samaras, brown and JVOH started well
Nakamura hauled donn in the box - by Naylor.
Our passing doesn't sound good enough at this point. Dons dangerous free kick around the area again.
Boruc saves easily from Mulgrew who's just on.
good chance for Naka but blocked
Samaras showing powerful running again. He is on fire right now. Still not holding possession as Aberdeen seem to have the lion's share.
agreed - need to keep the ball - take the sting out of a dangerous looking dons side.
Better from Celtic as Maloney and Samaras link up, Diamond cuts it out.
Good play by Celtic, worked the ball to Naylor who win's a free kick in a crossable position on the left.
Maloney takes it but headed clear by Aberdeen for a throw in.
The bhoys are playing some good stuff now
Keeping the ball just now and trying to work space. This is better and keeping it calm.
JVOH given offside after finishing from a Crosas through ball. Judging by the crowd reaction I'd say it was definitely offside. No excitement.
Another good move by Celtic. Naylor swings one in to the far post which JVOH heads into the arms of the dons goalie.
JVoH heads down into goalies arms
Header from JVOH saved - good chance
Celtic playing excellent football and putting tons of pressure on right now.
Celtic putting pressure on now aberdeen, Crosas, Brown, Nakamura and Samaras are passing the ball around nicely
Crosas' name more prominent on the Radio now. Brown also surging.
Miller winning lots of headers against McManus again I'm noticing.
Aberdeen putting the pressure on again. Celtic with some slack passing creeping back in.
Good spell of pressure from them but comes to nothing. Started with Brown being careless in the middle
Naylor just missing after surging into the box.
Lee why not shoot?....great move
Good run and chance for Naylor but cleared for GK
2 minutes of extra time for the first half
Ma tea's oot. :^)
Corner for Celtic
Half time: 1-0
Celtic have to do more.
Aberdeen are playing well..
That single goal is looking awful good, at the moment.
Expect, that Gordon will have a few things to say, regarding Celtic's defense...not looking too confident... at times the Celtic area is mores like a testing area for the Dodgem Cars.
Not happy with Celtic's Central defensive play..
High Anxiety reigns.
Kojo.
HT Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen
We have played well in spells so far but there have also been periods where we have struggled to keep the ball and found ourselves under pressure. The midfield has been disappointing especially going forward. Maloney has contributed very little and Naka is playing very deep. Brown doing a lot of charging around with very little end product. Crosas is playing a Hartley type game and has also suffered from poor distribution. The defence have looked disorganised but to their credit they have restricted Aberdeen to half chances from the edge of the box.
Sammy has looked our best player again. His link up play has been excellent. He looks like a nightmare to play against. JVOH took his goal well but Aberdeen should have cleared the ball before it broke to JVOH. Credit to Sammy for sticking at it and forcing their error.
Would like to see Aiden on for the second half for either Maloney or Brown.
Not a bad first half from Celtic, Maloney is having a quiet game but good preformance from Wilson, Crosas, Naka, Brown, Loovens and Samaras. Naka is my MotM so far, all the nice passing play is coming from him, can't hear the crowd, I don't know if it is because I am receiving a poor audio from the video stream so I am force to listen to Radio Scotland and they tend to turn down the volume of the crowd unless they are broadcasting from Ipox. After 20 minutes I would bring on Aiden for Maloney if his play does not improve.
Seems to me we were preoccupied with hitting high balls up for Samaras to control and lay off...
Missing out the midfield too much. As a result Maloney has yet to warm up.
Crosas only begining to get on the ball. Naka showing his class at times though...
Happy with the lead but we should have been two up. Naka or Naylor deserved their goals that should have been... A lack of concentration was too evident at times.
Fortunately we were not punished for it...
Some Thinking about Villareal Perhaps.....
Not as beguiling as I hoped at the start but still flashes of good stuff...
Early one for us in the second and we will relax and play a bit more...
Overall Still Smiling....

Excellent summation,pal..
Georgie Bhoy, is a find.
Molly, to be absolutely fair... is being Starved.
He is not being brought much into the game.. the Majority of Celtic's attacking action is down right side.
A change of tactics is called for.
Kojo.
mncelt,
I was glad to hear the whistle at half time. I agree with you re Scott Brown, if only he had a first touch and better ball control he would be a great player!
We need a second goal.
Lubo.
Shot from Sammy saved after a good ball from Naylor(?)
Save from a far Naka free kick
FK chance for Naka but poor execution
Lubo - can't see them scoring but another goal would be good for the nerves
Lubo
So Skoosh is only missing a decent first, second and third touch to be a great player? Doesn't sound all that close to me...
I'm back but was still listening. 2nd half has started at a slow pace.
Artur comes for a FK, misses and lays out Loovens. If Artur has a weakness it is cross balls
Aberdeen score, Mulgrew
1-1 Mulgrew scores oh dear
1-1 - Mulgrew, another ex haunts us.
1-1
Not good enough
RRC
1-1...great passing move from the dons...but who was at the back post?
seen that coming..
1-1 Deserved equaliser
Both fullbacks posted missing
Aiden warming up, if the Ghod-like Caldwell was playing I am sure he would have got over to block it, Wilson and Loovens were nowhere to be seen
Time for a change Gordon - NOW
Aiden coming on
McGeady comes on for Maloney
It must be said..
The Celtic Central defense is playing very poorly..
That Prompts the Observation..
Gary Caldwell.. Where are You?
Come back..you are sorely missed!
Kojo.
Maloney off for Aiden
.
Come on Aiden....no goals in 26 games....
o1bhoy
McGeady coming on for maloney
RRC
Come on Aiden - we need to get some life into the team
Wilson keeps giving the ball away
Zander Diamond is having a good game for the Dons, I always thought that he would be a good aquisition for Celtic as he would die for his bhoyhood heroes
We're playing badly now, no point dressing it up.
Aberdeen free kick in shooting range again. Mulgrew scores again.
dont panic! dont panic!
1-2 Mulgrew again - what's going on?
Mulgrew scores from a FK 1-2 good goal
Where is Caddis?
It is obvious to me that He also is being sorely missed.
Wilson, is not a patch on Caddis, when is comes to accurate distribution..and the over lap.
Kojo.
Incidentally, Mulgrew is a left back.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so ridiculous.
1-2 dear oh dear
Good FK - no chance for Artur
Im panicing now
Great goal it has to be said.
We are very poor.
Lubo.
.
COME ON CELTIC....
McDonald about to come on.
Loovens heads down from a Naka free kick ball bounces over the bar
Sitter for Loovens. Headed the ball down into the ground and bounced over
Loovens should have scored - headed it into the ground and over
This is painful to listen to
RRC
Here is where McDonald can get his season started. Two quick goals Skippy!
what a miss
anyone else listening to radio snyde?
'A ludicrous result for Celtic...6 points behind rangers...' really talking up the result. He's absolutely loving it. What a frigging tool.
C'mon celtic and stick it up that mustachioed fool
We're not keeping the ball.
McDonald on for Crosas
We need another change. JVOH has been annonymous this half
Skippy on for Crosas
Skippy coming on,
for Crosas?
i think, audio stream from C67 is awful
RRC
4-3-3 Aiden gone over to the right, Sammi to the left,
Samaras now wide left, Naka central midfield
Celtic are playing terribly. Unable to keep the ball for any length of time.
.
LOOKS LIKE WE NEED A PENALTY.....SOOOOON.....
2-2
MCDONALD SCORES
Yesssssssssss
2-2
Skippy scores a header from 1 yard out
TORA TORA TORA!
2-2 Skippy
Good cross from Aiden and a easy header from 2 yds
yes!
Second Skippy goal due in a few minutes. :-)
Great ball from Aiden.
Fasten your seatbelts could be a wild finish
Phew...let off, now come on Celts let's have a winner!!!
McD shoots over - he should have crossed
COME ON CELTIC!

And WE wull Win this thing!

WE have looked better with Aiden on the right. Naka has come to life after a quiet 75 mins.
McManus misses a free header from a corner.
Aiden is finding acres of space down the right
Mick misses a free header
Free header at back post for Mick but fluffed it
Less than 5 to go, we're pressing for a goal.
Chance for Naka but over the top

and that's why

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, now you’re talking Public Timeny and a fight back against the evil deeds of the dark side. One has to wonder though why our board are not far more vocal in their condemnation of the current ‘one is bad as each other’ nonsense currently doing the rounds thanks to Sir Moonbeams spin doctors and an ever so helpful group of poodles masquerading as the Scottish press. Our man informs us they are not falling into the media’s trap of a tit-for-tat battle and instead have been heavily involved in ensuring the appropriate people at a political level, including European football, deal with this matter appropriately. We did tell you a while ago the Huns are a bawhair away from a long-term ban from Europe…………watch this space………….also expect to see Gordon Nice and his cronies being hauled in front of UEFA once the investigation being carried out is complete. The McGregor dropping is more linked to his wild behaviour over the last few weeks rather than necessarily a dip in form as has been said "officially". One of our snouts lives near to Shallow Al and recently he's been having numerous late night parties with the obligatory dumb blonde in tow and matters came to a head last week apparently as a Director of the darkside also lives in the same apartment area as Shallow Al. The party in Al's was going on loud and strong at 3am much to annoyance of the club director who put his RFC slippers on before promptly marching to Al’s door telling him to turn the music down etc. Shallow basically told him to “fclukinpeesharffyafeckgnclunt” which our Ayrshire interpreter kindly advised us translates to “Naw” and of course returned to his party and promptly turned the music up even louder. Shallow and his bimbo a little while later were heard (and seen) shouting at each other in the street and causing all manner of public unrest in a very "Ricksen-esque" manner. The next day the Director chap had a word with Sir Moonbeams with his expulsion from the team basically a result of his @rsehole-like behaviour. According to our man – Shallow thinks he's the dogs bollox and that he's some kinda big guy - "d'ye know who I am"? type of syndrome, which we hope some kind soul over Ibrox way will help him out by stitching his name in rather large writing just in case he forgets in the future. By all accounts expect Shallow to be out of the first team for quite a wee while yet. Final point on the Shallow Al story. Our ‘pals’ in the Scottish press have been aware of this for a week now but have resisted publishing. One can only wonder why…………. On that front we hear WGS purposely leaked a story about Celtic disharmony to check out some targets regarding press conspiracy.
The head shot of Setanta personally called WGS to apologise after Dr Death called to say they would be removed from all club activities
Hernan Crespo has told Celtic he’s willing to come for 100k a week and on condition everyone, including the board, wears mullet wigs. Celtic have offered Scott McDonald in a swap deal instead. Our esteemed Chairman's "previous" with certain members of a Unionist persuasion had a six county MP somewhat perturbed last week we hear.Gregory Campbell's outburst on 'IRA songs' was as much an attempt at smokescreen from one of followfollow's more celebrated posters as it was a wee veiled dig at Reid. Apparently the bold Gregory got a little uppity in a meeting with Reid with the DUP team in the Doctors term as Secretary of State for the 6 counties. Arriving some 10 minutes early they were less than enamoured on entering Reid's office to having several airings of "The Fields of Athenry" blasting from the television as Reid sat glued watching O'Neills team beating Liverpool at Anfield. Apparently Nigel Dodds requested that the TV be turned down only for Reid to point out that 'the two greatest football teams
on the planet are playing - what an atmosphere!'.
Added to the fact that he greeted 'C Company' and the UDA nutters headed up by Adair with the now immortal 'who'd have thought you lads
would be sitting in here with a Catholic Glaswegian Celtic supporter talking peace' it's fair to say Dr John isn't exactly flavour of the month / year / decade with Big Ian's team.
Sticking with Politics, discussions continue on the re-opening of Parkhead train station and one Councillor who drinks wae a dad of a pal of a friend of ours tells us there's whispers of a proposal to allow the station to be renamed in honour of a Celtic legend. Watch out for an RST campaign to get Cessnock Underground renamed no doubt in around 5 years time.
Meanwhile, questions being asked about who's really in charge of signings at Celtic. We got told of a very sad scene at Lennoxtown last week when the first team squad were pulling on their gleaming Celtic strips for the Official team photo. Poor Pat McCourt is among those pulling on the hoops until he is approached by Strachan and told to get back into his training gear as he is not a member of the first team squad. Apparently our Ireland scout was told to go watch McCourt when he was with Derry City, the scout said he didn't have to as he had seen enough of him already and knew he wasn't good enough for Celtic. Next thing he knows McCourt has signed. On whose authority is the $64k question?The Credit Crunch, alas its affecting us all. We see Celtic had to pay off a third of its debt to the bank. Despite the Board and certain tub-thumpers out there heralding "great results" and "fiscal prudence", we hear the Financial squeeze is going on big style down Celtic Park way and we can only pray that if Celtic are having strong bank pressure, then whats its gonna be like for Rangers? We're told there was quite a bit of concern around Ibrox Finance offices as soon as news broke of a HBOS and the TSB takeover. We all know what happened the last time a fresh pair of eyes looked at the Rangers accounts when the Halifax bought the Bank of Scotland.
Star Spotting - Kirk Broadfoot back in Bamboo telling the wee blonde barmaid 'I'm playing for Scotland now, what d'you say hen?' and hey, was that really Rangers new star Pedro Mendez pacing outside the Royal infirmary on Thursday night? We hear congratulations in order to a certain Daily Scottish Journalist who has been promised a few Ghost writer credits down Ibrox way due to his impressive One Man campaign to herald all things Rangers and discredit all things Celtic this season. Claims he already has his POTY card filled in with Pedro Mendez or Kirk broadfoot are slightly premature.
Congrats and kudos also go to FunbhoyFree over at YouTube for his latest wind up at Ibrox. Will they never learn? To hear the events Manager almost wet his wet blue drawers at the thought of a major Pop concert being played at Ibrox next summer was brilliant. The rider from the band was genius 'it needs to be Alpaca!'- hahaha . The best bit though is you when can almost hear the guys heart break when he is told that the 'secret band' are U2. Respect! We have also been tipped that there's a peach of a 'Dominic Keane calls up the RBS ' in the can ( as they say!), cant wait. The rumours still abound that its Glasgow 'comic' Des MacLean at work but we pray it isnae as we hate George Bowie!
Which two well known Spanish players based in Scotland have already fallen out. Any two from 3 out of Crosas, Novo and Fernandez. We will give you a clue, Crosas still talks to Fernandez. Seems a few choice comments were made over a plate of tapas or two at Cafe Andaluz down Cresswell Lane recently which saw Crosas walk out and leave wee Ugly face greeting over the bill and yet another soured relationship. Then again he's used to souring relationships. While on Crosas..he may be the first, but hes not the last. Come January, at least 1 other player ready for first team could make the move up North, name we have been given is Sergi Busquets Burgos, who sounds like someone from the Fast Show, and also 2 academy youngsters coming over to 'toughen' up (Go straight to cliche corner - Ed). Barca will also travel west to play Celtic next year after they do their annual tour or St andrew, Dundee and Edinburgh.
Its okay, you can stop feeling scared. Stephen Pressley WILL be back at Celtic Park! We'll give you a few minutes to scream. Finshed?. We're told Elvis will be back coaching our first team defence next season. Seems he’s very, very highly thought of by WGS and Pendrey on the training pitch. Meanwhile Willie McStay is rumoured to have declined a move to step up a position at Hamilton, seems he’s waiting on any progress regards a vulnerable position just west of Ibrox way.
Which well known Fans representative was raging at not getting the expected recognition for the recent 'Ulster Day' celebrations at Ibrox. Poor diddums, why not write up another letter and post around every Press Box as normal?
Just why is Mark Brown so happy when he hears Celtic could be signing another back up keeper in the 6ft 6" Cervi, who sounds like a big f*nny ( work it out!) ? Anything to do with him reaching a certain duration milestone in his contract? Must be great to be quids in for having a square arse?
We hear certain problems stemming from way back and previous loan deals between the managers may have affected the signing talks between Burnley and Celtic regards the latest Rangers crock Kyle Lafferty. Looks like a lucky escape!
Talk of a sensational 'experimental' 4-1-3-2 formation against Villarreal. Please god naw. Naw naw naw! In the words of Hall & Oats, say it isnt so!
Hibs tried to sign Hartley along with Riordan. Sadly for Mixu, Frank Gallagher told them 'Thanks but not THIS season'. Craig Levein was also sniffing around the possibility of taking Beardy away from Celtic but Dundee was a dump, we mean jump, too far.
January signings...Sunderland scouts have asked for briefs for all games. Seems they’re still upset at missing out on Maloney ( Keane had the chance of chat but was tied up in other contract talks we are told) and is now considering a Strachan style 'double swoop' come January. Again any 2 from 3 between Maloney, McGeady and Caldwell is being suggested.
Our friend Yosser tells us corporate whispers at Everton have their eyes turned towards a final pay off for our Naka and the commercial spin offs that would generate. Last estimates using the ETims abacus show Celtic make an average of 45k a month from Naka Press access requests. Shame the Celtic fc Japanese website didn’t quite hit the same sites. If only they had listened to us at the Focus group meeting.
Good to see young Paul Caddis getting a go against Livingston. We're told both he and O'Dea demanded to be let out on loan as both are desperate to get first team football. Strachan managed to appease them, for now. Come January, could be a different story.
Balde has the world at his feet, unlike a ball. He could go to Birmingham in January. Celtic will only have to pay £200k to get rid of him and McLeish is willing to stump up the £400k which Celtic are asking for the poverty stricken centre half but we are told a certain Canadian based manager, his name rhymes with Ludas, has been sniffing out the possibility of taking Bobo over the Atlantic for a wee couple of easy seasons.
Talking of former players, Is Sean Diamond set to be the next Shay Given? After being released by Celtic the Celtic daft youngster was snapped up by St Johnstone and soon found himself being selected for the Rep of Ireland's Under 17s where we are assured he has a rosy future.So that’s us for another week of stuff, nonsense and completely made up shite but if we’ve made one person smile then our job is complete.

Eh sorry about the language violation Paul and whomsoever my plagiarised post offended. I should have diluted pre deletion!!!
Site Back up........
We had a problem in the Celtic Central Defence ..and Left Back.. yer... Naylor, is back sliding a tad...
Not as bad as he was.. But, today.. I was not pleased with his Tackling... It was extremely Poor.
So...what about Tues.?
Need to bring in Caddis..where he shall play?.. I do not know, but he ,makes a big improvement to the Team, whenever he plays.
I also want Massimo , for Tues...that is a Defo!
And...
Aiden, must be a STARTER..
Jvoh?
Georgie Bhoy?
Look to me... Undroppable Combo..although, the smarts of Macko.. will be missed..
I believe Macko is on his way back to form..
Ach!
I think I shall just leave the selection process to the Manager..
He proved, to me..that he is a Great Manager.
Once again, he pulled a Rabbit..or wiz it no Two?..and frankly it wiz soitenly no a Rabbit.. eether.. out of the Hat..mair like a Mary Poppins miracle.
And we snatched a Victory!
Great stuff, Gordon.
Kojo.
hi ghuys
does anyone have a link for todays goals
hail hail
new article posted.
Could this be a pivotal weekend in the SPL.Celtic fight back in a manner reminiscent of so many matches in recent seasons, while (please) their city neighbours lose ground at Easter Road. !
.
God We Missed Caldenbeur Out there Today in More Ways than Just Defending....
o1bhoy
Just back in - my view of todays match
We knocked it about ok 1st half but tried a few too many goal of the season plays (Press have Marco Van Boyd down for that so dont bother).
Defence didnt look too clever all day - and I thought big Mick had called it a day whe he ended up 5 rows back in the main stand - on his heid (only thing he got his heid to all day).
Could see the goals coming a mile off - and just knew it would be their left back (forgot all about him yesterday when I was on about Scottish left backs dohhhh!) It was written in the script that he would score - but not twice surely - and Artur must have realised the boys left footed and not took up that position at the FK. Have to say it was never a free kick though.
Great comeback though even if it was a bit desperate (with the formation changing so much even our players were confused)
In a nutshell - despite the win - it was a below par performance and the same could be said for the crowd. We didnt get behind the team until we were 2-1 down. Thinks its been said before but its our place to lift the team not theirs to lift us.
Anyways - 3 points and a scare that hopefully is a reality check for CL. Two other points - and I cant believe I am saying this first one - welcome bacl Gary caldwell. And thinks we expect too much from Marc Crosas right now - looks like he will need more time to settle in SPL.
Smells like Teem Spirit won..... And Mulgrew did two...
What Entertainment......
What a Game....
What a Manager.
Iv,e often criticised Gordon for baffling tactics and substitutions.
Today taking off the ineffective Maloney for Aiden and giving Naka a more central role was a masterstroke.
Naka,s man followed him inside and left a ton of space for Aiden to exploit,hence the reason he had space to play so many dangerous balls.He set up both goals so evidence speaks for itself.
Really enjoyed last 20 mins i love when we attack in waves to me thats playing football the Glasgow Celtic way.
Fantastic goal and skill from big Jan for winner
