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.

gordon 64,
You are dead right, after watching Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool tonight.
Problem is getting past teams from Switzerland, Sweden etc.
I think the manager will do that, if he is supported.

Thankyou
What’s that saying about 1000 monkeys and 1000 typewriters…………..

More corrupt protection for a politician,Greville Janner,disgusting.
Winning the Treble will be a fantastic achievement but let’s put it in perspective. In 2003 rangers won the treble and we went to Seville. If you ask me now would i change our day in Seville for a treble I would take Seville everytime.

Gordon,
Amma right in saying we have been in as many euro finals as we have won trebles?
I don’t think anyone would swap.
Many leagues don’t have a fixation with trebles as they don’t play for a league cup.

DD – they will have loved it I’m sure. He’s a legend. Prob a better hen night than the normal ones if he’s involved.
Also. Credit due on the good taste in music.
Bgx Fair play to you. Trophies never meant that much to me. Great Celtic performances is what I live for. HH

442 or 4231?
Cannae see us changing shape.
The thing that concerns me is…..IF things are not going to plan……
Impact subs?
With zig n zag and Stokes out, that means Forrest and Commons will probably start with Guidette on the bench(imo)but apart from him……who can come on that offers an attacking threat to change things?

Didnt in Milan.Nor Seville…We Didnt.

Bgx, further to your post about bobby womack lasy night.
He played the concert hall last year as part of celtic connections .behind him celtic connections should have been lit up but only the word celtic was.
When he introduced the band, the sax player was called charles green.
Bobby passed away last year but my pals and i were so pleased to see him in concert for the last time.

Thunder road,
Interesting question.
Our last two cup games have seen both henderson and jg as substitutions.
Scepovic is the obvious attacking option but he’s not a what I’d class a game changer so far

Got yet another invitation to rejoin SKY in the post yesterday.
It read,
Dear Mr …………
Feckers couldn’t even get my name right
We know how much you like to get the best deal possible on Your SKY package so..blah blah 30% off…blah blah
I cancelled about a year ago for the last time, following an article posted by BRTH regarding the malign influence on politicians off almost every hue and the mismatch of legal resources employed in the phone hacking trials. Coupled with the EPL semi fest and the slow depletion of the Scotish game at their hands and the simple fact that I don’t want to pay Wayne Rooney’s wages I decided enough was enough. Their attitude towards all thing Celtic should have been enough.
When I cancelled I carefully explained why.
So, on receipt of the come back to SKY letter I phoned them, doubtless at an exorbitant rate and asked them to stop sending me these as the clearly hadn’t taken on board my original feedback on why I was leaving.
I would urge any of you who still subscribe to the evil empire to cancel immediately but who am I to tell anyone else what to do.
I think it was SFTB who pointed out that our success against Killie on Wednesday had a lot more to do with bringing on Leigh Griffith than going two up front.
I reckon those looking for a version of 442 tomorrow may be disappointed.
Need to be at our best to keep the treble dream alive.

Bgx Agree,But we aspired to be in such exaltant company and were not out of place. And we loved it. HH
Skyislandfill,
I didn’t see weds as 442. To me it was same ish formation with 2 strikers on the pitch at the same time. Not playing same or similar roles.
