An illness-ravaged Celtic swept St Johnstone aside in Perth yesterday with far greater efficiency than at Hampden last month. St Johnstone went on a downward spiral after that semi-final, losing games since, but this was still an impressive performance.
Liel Abada sparkled in the central striker role, scoring two early on, and his Israeli team-mate Nir Bitton, tidied things up near the end. Carl Starfelt made things interesting midway through the second half by conceding possession in a dangerous position, allowing St Johnstone to score with their only attempt on target. Incidents like this will be a concern for Ange Postecoglou.
Liam Scales continued to settle into the side while Josip Juranovic on the opposite wing-back role put in one of his best shifts for Celtic. Yet again, Tom Rogic made things happen. The Aussie has flourished under Postecolgou and must surely be favourite for Player of the Year.
As Ange made clear after the game, the break could not come soon enough for Celtic, who ALWAYS prefer to play in front of a full crowd.

So sorry to read about James your brother.
may I also wish him well.

Have now watched the Griffith free kick v Aberdeen, stunning power and accuracy. If we could have him on the park for free kicks only, would be a nice option. Don’t need him for general play, just the free kicks. Wand of a left peg, broken biscuits for a brain.
SAINT SIV..
I enjoy your Pics and stories etc.

It was a magnificent strike, but what about his condition? I was shocked at how heavy he looked round the middle. Sad to see.
HOT SMOKED
LOOOOOL 👍

BACK TO BASICS
I don’t think I was being harsh.
To be fair I was looking forward to an Ashes night shift and hoped and believed that England would fight back and leave Australia with a decent target. What a let-down.
Australia’s first innings total was 267 and they won without batting again.
Even David Gower called them an embarrassment.

Seems to be rife – me, WeeBGFC and Mrs BGFC all positive (Mrs is the worst – up in bed felling properly grotty). Miss BGFC seems OK so far, but probably a matter of time.
All fully vaccinated and boosted so we are all – thus far – avoiding serious disease, thank God.

Wee prayer said for a full and speedy recovery.
Take care.

Robert Louis Stevenson – Treasure Island – when Jim Hawkins meets the half-mad, marooned, Ben Gunn:
‘You mightn’t happen to have a piece of cheese about you, now? No?
‘Well, many’s the long night I’ve dreamed of cheese – toasted, mostly.’
One of the big pluses for me from Sunday.
Was that Ange finally deviated from his strict 433, to 3 at the back, and 2 up front ,which worked a
treat in the first half

Ben Gunn wasn’t that mad . At least he knew the correct term for toasted cheese ! -)))))))
(Retreats to a safe distance).
