It’s another big day in the title race as Aberdeen visit Firhill. Partick Thistle’s form has been up and down recently, losing to Hearts and Dundee United, beating St Johnstone home and away, winning and losing against Motherwell, all in their last six games. They have not won or lost by more than two goals win or defeat since November.
Aberdeen’s games since the turn of the year have also been tight, a 3-1 defeat at Inverness last month is the only occasion there has been more than a single goal in any of their games. It’s likely to be tight tonight.
A win would put Thistle into the top six, is it too much to ask…….
Natural justice would suggest that Rangers liquidators, BDO, should be allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court on the club’s creditors’ behalf (they were granted permission to appeal this morning). Rangers won the initial decision on a number of their players EBTs, and then the first appeal, so it’s clear there are finer points of law at play.
With Rangers now in liquidation, creditors may wonder why BDO are spending their (diminishing) pot of money on what is sure to be extravagant legal fees, especially as HMRC is the most influential creditor. Liquidators have a responsibility to the creditors to dismiss any claims on creditors’ funds which cannot be substantiated. If the liquidator wins at the Supreme Court, all creditors apart from HMRC will receive a higher payout.
I don’t imagine Supreme Court hearings and written judgements are arranged in a hurry, so put this one on the back burner for a while, but there remains a lot at play here. I’ve tried to steer clear of the issue for a while now, as it’s little more than a distraction, but that’ll change should HMRC win in London.
Good luck to Thistle tonight.

Thanks Paul. We are fine, my wee mammy is the real loser here, 98 this year and more than 70 years married to my dad. Takes more than a bit of getting used to, being on your own again. But she is strong minded. She still asks, “Did Celtic win today?” – “**&^%$@@:~” – “That’s terrible from you. It’s only a game of football!” Love her to bits.
Dont Panic Dont Panic Mr Mainwairing
MACJAY1…..
Malconium….
Wasn’t that the drug they used to dole out to kids in Cambuslang with ADHD..
Way back in the ’60s ?

It’s bus and train stations greenpinata was concerned about earlier
Nothing to do with panic stations⚽️⚽️☘☘
I switched the radio on just as Aberdeen scored their second.
Sorry.
Ach well, we all wanted a competitive league…
Dharma Bham
I am still blaming Efe
Don’t worry folks, even if Aberdeen beat Thistle we’ll still have one point lead.
Oh, and a game in hand which we’re bound to win. Nae pressure :))

I`d left Cam`slang before that , so I can`t say.
Fact , I don`t think they`d invented ADHD at that time.
I think the Lochgelly was the drug of choice.
Administered frequently .
Haha, has Efe had his radio on as well?
If we don’t beat thistle on saturday now , am i right in thinking the sheep can go above us if they win their game.

I`ve got a kind of ” one down against the huns” feeling.
No likee.
2-1 full time
Jinxed by P67.
Well done …
;-)
Pathetic we are hanging on to Partick Thistle looking for a lift.
Take Aberdeen,they go out and bring in some relative unknown Simon Church who has scored against us and several winning goals since,meanwhile we have the John Park line up of expensive flops non of which,even after a sustained period,has had the same impact as this guy.
What is the Operating criteria for this guy,and for that matter PL, as he is presiding over the biggest erosion of support I have seen in a lifetime of watching Celtic.
Our efforts in turning Celtic Park into some kind of theme park has resulted in the deterioration of the core product.
If Aberdeen hold on…
They have 62 points
19 wins with +18 Goal difference
Thats a lot of narrow wins. Can look at it two ways but they will drop plenty points in the run in.
HH
your move Peter…….we are deep onto injury time, the 4th official is holding up the board…..stick or twist.
Ktf, we’ll do this COYBIG!
Ach well, back to Bridgeton for the moment…… by way of Paradise….
November 2005…League Cup Quarter Final….Paradise…..Shaun Maloney receives the ball just inside THEIR half….a wee jink inside and a couple of paces….Klos knows what’s going to happen….. the crowd knows what’s going to happen…..right foot swung….ball dispatched like a tracer…. Klos like a swallow across the goal acrobatically arm outstretched….IN VAIN….net billows…..and the tension of the night dissolves in volcanic eruption of utter ecstasy….(well apart from THEM :) :) )
As we walked back past Bridgeton Station I buttoned up my Denim Jacket (cool or what eh!!) and crossed the road to meet a line of the our wonderful polis guarding the entrances to Whitelaw’s (previously and now again The Seven Ways).
“Regulars only pal”.
“I am a regular” (No colours were visible).
They hesitated for a second but then broke ranks for a second and let me through.
Once into the eerie but crowded silence in the bar I squeezed up towards the counter and asked in my best Hymnal lilt…
“Pint of Guinness please”
If there had been a piano player present he would have stopped. If there had been a piano, Its solidity would have been tested on my skull. It’s odd how the mind can exaggerate things but I’m sure they were going to eat me!
Four of Strathclyde’s finest came through the front door, grabbed me, dragged me out, pulling down the corrugated shutters, and kicked me in the arse propelling me towards the Green.
Like Meg and Tam O’Shanter did I run or what. Leaving a young Usain Bolt in my wake, (and believe me it nearly was my wake that night…one of many over the years) I sprinted on a tide of terror towards The Whistlin Kirk, run at that time by John Colhoun.
Burstin through the door into the safety of like minded eejits I gasped and wheezed….”Give me a sec…” I spluttered.
“Aye” said Tony my mate “We’ve heard…Ya fe….n eejit”.
News travels fast around here.
I calmed down after that escape….(sort of).
What a goal from Shaun mind you….a goal special enough to be marked by a night (and a lesson) never to be forgotten.
By the way I was 51 years daft then! :) :)
Hail Hail
Matt
Oh well, no doubt the sheep will be getting groomed for a title challenge now!
Voguepunter, aye, fair enough.
Dharma Bam, fellow jinx!
The Long Wait, aye, I know.
Check the monikers as soon as there’s a negative?
We are a Griffiths injury away from losing this league ffs
‘Er outdoors: “Whit’s that squeaky noise?”
“Squeaky noise? Whit ye gaun on about?”
“There’s a squeaky noise!”
“Squeaky noise, my arse!”
That’s result confirms it…. The sheep have the stomach for the fight.
They have had their blips in form, but I believe they will hang in on this title race, certainly until we deal with them at Celtic park
Big deal
The sheep beat plastic whistle by the odd goal
I thoroughly expect the hoops to put thistle to the sword on Saturday and then kick on with a run of victories from now until the end of the season with the league and cup double in the bag .
All that will be remembered of this season will be 5 in a row and another cup wIn.
Keep the faith bhoys
Good Lord, we needed for a result from The Jags and it didn’t come!
Could be worse though! Imagine if we ever needs a result from Dundee!!!!!!!!
See what I did there.(No question mark?)
We will win this league.
Keep the Faith.
Scunthorpe is not an exciting town.
Sips
Has adam Johnson been transferred to Aberdeen
Oh, and no winning margin by more than one goal since when?
A bubble waiting to burst.
And our team, and their form will improve.
Plus 10 points.
No happy and no clapping, yet.
The heat is on – it’s on the streets – we are in a scrap – no doubt about it.
The heat is on, no, the huns are on, no scrap, just like last year
Mr Pastry
Are you getting ‘splattered with S888E” – or was that just Sunday?
Meanwhile , Deila remains.
DOC
There’s a clue in the 2nd to 5th letters.
And while he remains lets back him and the team to succeed:-)
BMCUWP’s, hand?
Totally lost me buddy.
are we up for the fight, we better be because they are.
