90 minute treble tightrope

789

Did we get a fright at Inverness last week?  That’s probably overplaying it a bit, but we didn’t get our own way against a team who have already overachieved this season and are more than capable of raising their game for the big occasion.

This is a team who will have no fears of facing Celtic.  They have a manager who will arrive at Hampden tomorrow with a plan to win the game.

John Hughes will not be the only one with such a plan.  Ronny Deila knows this game is the most important on the roster between now and the end of the season.  Only a potential Scottish Cup Final would be a bigger game.  Without wanting to be disrespectful of Aberdeen’s title push, which is an arithmetical challenge only, we are two wins away from winning the treble, and Inverness are the only top flight team who are able to stop us.

It we do achieve a treble this season it will be our first in 14 years.  Martin O’Neill’s triumph in 2001 was our only one in 46 years, so we have to wait a long time for these occasions.  Unfortunately, it takes only 90 minutes to extinguish the opportunity.  A few refereeing decisions the right way and Dundee United had us in a vulnerable place in the last round.  Without absolute concentration the same could happen tomorrow and the remainder of our season would take on an exhibition-game feel.

Feeling a bit nervous now.

Keep your eye on Kris Commons, he loves Hampden.

  1. let the people sing on

    been a regular reader for a while – great site and great posts.

     

    Celtic been in the blood all my life, thanks to my late father – often wondered if i would have supported another club were it not for him – no chance! I believe the history of this great club and what it stands for would have found me anyway – I’ve always felt it an honour to support Celtic, it is indeed more than just a club! don’t get to many games these days, but have made sure that my 2 bhoys know the history! Love what Ronny has done with team and hoping for a good result tomorrow. Hail!Hail!

    “Instant pandemonium thats exactly how I will remember that game……..when the whistle went ……..cant remember getting to the bus ………it was like a dream

     

     

    Excellent, it was like a dream come true, really did signal the change of an era.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  5. Busy day the mo, Night Night again. Cot time is overdue. Win tomorrow, we are on track for a record winning season. Please, Celtic, no complacency, attack this team as if they are the team who would dare to deny you your most wanted prize.

    Weefra, tremendous news about being off cigarettes for so long.

     

     

    A pal of mine had been off them for 25 years and still has the craving particularly if he has a swallay.

     

     

    Great news from you.

    thanks for the welcome -youngest has a game, but will be keeping up with the score

  9. Gretnabhoy,

     

     

    It may be as she wrote to yourself but it seems, from I read before, that she wrote those words shortly before she was nominated as a candidate. People worth voting for don’t write such stuff, whether they’re 16 or 60.

  10. A wee unknown fact, GG mentioned the ball boys in the 6-2 game. When Mr Larsson scored that magical 4th goal, one of the said ball boys was David Marshall the soon to be Celtic goalkeeper! Ah know cos he telt me!

    Thank you so much for that. We are both very well as I hope you and your family are. As we are a pair of old farty pensioners, we really look forward to keeping up with the young yins on here. They are the future of our club, but, more importantly, our country. IMHO. hied doon on that one. Cot time.

  13. Parkheadcumsalford… I can only relate what information I received and she came across as genuine.

     

    Anyway looking forward to going to the game tomorrow in the sunshine and forgetting about politics for awhile. Only wish I knew where I could get a wee drink before the game in Shawlands.

    I don’t do Google and all that nonsense but I am sure the Maestro scored in his first game at pittodrie, ibrox and Celtic Park, Paul McStay is and will always be my favourite player that has pulled the hoops over his heid…..

     

     

    Let the people sing…… It’s a welcome from me and keep posting, if you love Celtic and don’t take any post too serious this is the place to be be

  16. As we make our way up Prospecthill Road to Hampden tomorrow I will recall all the many times we have walked that long road before and I’ll say to myself why did we not get the feckin bus.

    Was just reposting his link for dena29 because he is clever and creates a link in his post that ostensibly isn’t a link and can be missed!

    I remember when my kids were young children’s parties were the “in thing” at Wimpy. Some poor member of staff had to dress up as Mr Wimpy, I have never seen any individual take so much physical abuse from a gang of 6 – 7 year olds! Lol.
