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.

The olde School of hard Knox.
I’d have ernie Bhoy at my side, if I had to choose between so many Grreat contributors to CQN.

Alan Stubbs is obtaining mixed results with The Hibs.
Another who some have championed for the Celtic managers job in the past.
Like Jackie he carries more acceptability with some because he is an ex Celtic player.
Yet they are still cutting their teeth and have achieved nothing that should make them the next Celtic manager.
I am still not convinced about Deila but at least he had won a championship prior to being appointed.
TT~~~~~~~~~~++~~~~~~~~~~
Erm,I don’t ever recall anyone crying out for Allan Stubbs as Celtic manager.

i’ve been a subscriber to CTV since it began, and it’s 100% better value/quality now.
Problem i’ve got with CTV is ………….i think it’s a bit dodgy as far as the club goes and i’ll explain why.
TRY to get CTV to give you figures on subscribers (Oversea’s like myself) you’ve no chance getting these figures as i’ve been asking for over 6 yrs now.
I’ve had all sorts of explanations but NEVER a figure.
Now that’s weird imo.
Congratulations to my home town team, Albion Rovers on winning the League today.
A few years ago I was at a study day on lung cancer, organised by the Roy Castle Foundation.
The lecture on the patient’s perspective was given by Pastor Jack Glass.
For someone facing death [and no guarantee it would be of the gentle variety] he showed real courage.
Wee fra – thanks.
Since I cancelled sky due to lack of Celtic games it’s been nothing but celtic on sky….
Is the final on sky too?
When apples
Archie MacPherson suggesting TV should decide how many teams are in our leagues, thought he played to the crowd and found him pretty patronising at CQN11, maybe just still playing to the crowd on the radio, fair play to him if he can change his opinion depending on who is listening
Ryan Hardie the new John Fleck or the even newer Lewis MacLeod ?
Leave Archie & the rest of the cheerleaders, more importantly bring on ICT tomorrow in hopefully the next step towards getting some more silverware !
Dontbrattbakkinanger,
You m8ty, you get this New Testament thang.
Ryan Hardie is not the Messi.
he’s a very naughty boy.
What have the Ryan Hardies ever done for us?
I kind of liked Ole Pastor Jack (but totally disagreed with his beliefs).He was a bit of a character. He used to follow the Cardinal every year when he went on a particular Scottish pilgrimage and protest with placards. The Cardinal would invite him for tea but I think he always declined.
Loved his banner,”Connolly is a blasphemer!” and Billy’s brilliant retort, “Jack Glass is a Pastor”.
Thought I was listening to a re-enactment of the Battle of Trafalgar as I was driving in……………
‘Kiss me Hardie.’
Yeuck!!

Sky are showing 4 out of our final 5 league games. All are being televised, so the other one must be BT. I would imagine the beeb have the final, no? Anyone know different?
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
It’s only a matter of time before Gordon Dalziel tells the SSB audience that Ryan Hardie is a top, top, top, top, top player worth jillions of pounds as he did with Lewis McLeod.
DBBIA can you do me a weeFavor and offer up a wee prayer for moi.

Jack Glass was such a bigot that he was disowned by his own religion and had to form his own sect.

Now is a dove a doo Da, is a doo a dove?

Oor Shuggie is now Hugh Da, and Jimmy’s ayways James
I’m puzzled wi it aa Da, the way she shoogles words

You’ve taught me aw wrong Da, you call a ball a ba
Yer wife is noo ma mother Da, you said she wus ma maw

Quick question re the pubs that are open early nearl the game tomorrow.
I gather The International is a goer from 11am,any other takers for a wad of cash from the troops?
Burgas hoops- really? I thought that kinda info would be readily available, something to boast about kinda thing.
Have you emailed JPT?
I’m hearing good things about it but reckon the whole operation needs upscaled. Sometimes reminds me of Chewin the Fat radio sketch…:-)

Hi Paul67,
As you have stated numerous times, winning a treble isn’t easy. The odds are against it.
We need to win four games to do it, tomorrow’s will be the most difficult. ICT must’ve looked at today’s semi and think, all we need to do is beat a quietly confident Celtic and the Cups more or less in the bag.
Very dangerous game tomorrow, we’ll need to be at our best.
