Aberdeen-Celtic in proxy for the final

244

Aberdeen were on fire in March, winning all four games, scoring 11 without response. Form since has been a contrast. They fell apart at home to Newco, and to St Johnstone, snatched a win against Hibs at Hampden, but recorded decent wins away to Hearts and St Johnstone.

With Celtic already champions and Aberdeen having secured second place, tonight’s Premiership game will be a proxy for the real event when the teams meet in their second cup final of the season in three weeks.

I can’t see Brendan Rodgers experimenting with youth, as he did against St Johnstone last week. The last thing he’ll want is to give Aberdeen encouragement ahead of the final. Much better to give them a bloody nose.

    Song for Mikael Lustig ( My old mans a dustman ) Oohhh We love Mikael Lustig he is our Swedish Bhoy , he wore a beachball on his head when Sevco got destroyed , He always plays with passion n’ goes out to attack and he knows that liquidation means there is no “COMING BACK”.

    Doing well with the songs but sadly not the one about Paddy Roberts….sounds too much like one of the awful songs sung by Man Utd fans.

  7. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    If you hear a round of applause on the 49th minute tonight, it is for an Aberdeen supporter ( Steve Sutherland) who Went missing on Tuesday night while working on the Rigs.

     

    Although it is primarily an Aberdeen Supporter initiative it has been shared with some of the Celtic Facebook groups.

     

     

    HH.

  8. There’s only one John Guidetti

     

    his palms were very sweaty

    Walking in Guidetti wonderland

    Song for Broonie ( to the Oasis ” Roll with it ” tune ) Our Captain is Scott Brown , he never lets us down , he’s our great number eight , handed Barton his fat ass on a plate , and it’s all too much for the Huns to take…. You’ll never stare him down , just ask Diouf the clown , he’s our great number eight , handed Barton his fat ass on a plate , and it’s all too much for the Huns to take…….. Now let’s all laugh at Rangers cos they died….. But Sevco keeps the comedy alive…….. Our Captain is Scott Brown …………..

    Song for JOZO #2 ( Starman by BOWIE ) There’s an old man falling from the sky , he tried to go past Jozo but he launched him up on high , There’s an old man falling from the sky , Jozo Simunovic said if he dies he dies , an we cried JOZO SIMONOVIC , JOZO SIMONOVIC , we all love SIMONOVIC ……. ( Sing to the guitar line ) … OH NO here comes JOZO , he said OH NO here comes JOZO, …. OH NO here comes JOZO, he said OH NO here comes JOZO …..

    No point in welcoming you to the blog, after the last few days lurking I feel you have been posting here for ages :-)

     

     

    All the best fellow Celt

  14. rpmcelticfan on

    Gerryfaethebrig Cheers mate ive been lurking for about six years , so I feel almost like I know everyone .

  15. Just like in the last Ibrokes skelping, pre match I would take a draw against Aberdeen but only in the event it maintains the invincibles tag till summer.

     

     

    BR will have an eye on protecting key players tonight as there is only one truly meaningful game left this season .

     

     

    Nir Bitton in place of Scott Brown and the return of Wee Jamesie at least from the bench, at full back maybe Mikael Lustig will be rested?

     

     

    The others will likely run around a lot and probably score more than once.

     

     

    Keep the back door locked at Pittodrie CSC

    Now you’re talking …..the Stuart Armstrong song get a big 10 from me.

  21. Strange feeling (for me). I am not nervous about this evening. We are too good for any team in Scotland. I, like Cathach’s brother, am afraid that we will come a cropper in the Final. I would rather it was tonight, if we are going to be beat.

     

     

    Whoever the manager chooses is fine by me. He has shown he knows the game. Thank Ghod we have him as our manager.

     

     

    WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED/

    CALL CAL ( That’s Amore) When your left back goes down , don’t be stuck with a frown call McGregor , if your man on the wing , he just aint doing his thing call McGregor , If you’re missing a spark in the heart of the park call McGregor , for no matter the role he’ll chip in with a goal CAL McGREGOR.

  24. Tom Rogic ( Pilot) – oh oh oh Tom Rogic he scores – better believe it he’s our Tom Rogic from OZ ……

  25. rpmcelticfan on

    Song for Tom Rogic #2 (Elton John – Rocket Man ) And I think he’s going to let a shot unwind , he’s made the move an now he’s right in line , He’s not the kind of man you want to leave alone , Oh no no no , He’s the Rogicman ,Rogicman sending yet another screamer home , And I think he’s going to let a shot unwind , he’s made the move an now he’s right in line , He’s not the kind of man you want to leave alone , Oh no no no , He’s the Rogicman Rogicman scoring us another winning goal …….

  27. Good evening everyone.

     

     

    Re GFS2, as there are still half a dozen picks to come in and as some of these are near the top of the league table I cannot yet issue the ‘who has picked who’ details. But as soon as the remaining picks are in (hint, hint….)…..
