Aberdeen’s win at Fir Park last night may have delayed Celtic’s title party but it will be the form of the Pittodrie team, who remain in the Scottish Cup, which will most concern Brendan Rodgers. Celtic’s record against Aberdeen has been imperious since the Irishman took over, but the oftener you show your strengths to an opponent, the better prepared they will be next time.
Aberdeen finished second to Celtic in three of the last four domestic competitions and are in the mix for the second in the league and the Scottish Cup final, should we get through our semi, I will be quite happy to see Motherwell also progress to the final.
Before all that, we have Dundee at Celtic Park tonight, then a trip to Hamilton on Sunday. Win both of those and we will be at least 12 points clear with five post-split games to play. If Aberdeen drop points in each of their next two games, we could win the league against Newco on 22 April, although it would be nice for our city neighbours to watch a league title being won, it does not look likely.

Sorry after the top 6 were known but not before completion of all the pre-split fixtures.
Got some great news yesterday Master Hebcelt and his girl got engaged in the Grand Canyon,Nevada. Respeldent in his Hoops top and green trainers down on one knee popped the question and got the apprpriate response. Seems like yesterday I took him to his first Celtic game. Hail Hail Hebcelt RIP Ray Wilkins one of footballs good guys.

RIP Ray Wilkins. Not only a fine player but one of football’s gentlemen.
Hebcelt
Nice one. Hopefully a bit of love in the CQN air.
The simple fact is, the establishment and fat Traynors hoods, don’t want th see Sevco getting embarassed again on live TV, in a showpiece game, forget all the hype from the Laptop Loyal.

Wrap up well. It is not yet summer in Glesca.
See you for a chat in 102 tonight.
Safe journey

With six teams in the er top six, are the SPFL busy developing an algorithm capable of deciding which teams play who and when?

Mad May and Bozo are up to their novichoks in this. Trippin over their previous lies now.

Ray Butch Wilkins RIP. A man who couldn’t understand the bigotry surrounding the Club he signed for in Scotland.
*which is why he left, must have been some come down after Manure, AC and PSG joining that bunch of neanderthals.
I’ve got a spare ticket for tonight, gratis, good seat in 202, can meet at CP. Post on here if interested. HH
Rest in peace Ray Wilkins and may perpetual light shine upon him. H.H.
DD, likewise amigo. Will be setting off in just under 1 hour. HH

Thanks for that. I fully undertstand how the split works, but do not see the point of it one little bit. Not only that , it is unfair to a lot of clubs who have to play 3 games away from home while others only 2. Time it was scrapped.
Ray Wilkins, a real decent guy.
There is a true story about when he first joined “the disease”, he invited all his team mates out with their wives to a meal, one couple at a time. He was out with slanty Ian Ferguson at a well known eatery. Now to his credit, Ferguson did not drink. Anyway, Butch orderd prawn cocktail and Ferguson ordered melon. When the waitor asked him if he wanted ginger, the bold Ferguson replied, naw, I’m happy with the coca cola.

Parking nightmare next season
https://thecelticstar.com/glasgow-city-council-proceed-celtic-park-parking-exclusion-zone/
Some great Blues to cheer you up, subjective obviously.

The parking restrictions will mean a minimum thirty minute walk to Celtic for me. This will seriously impact on my decision whether to renew next season.
Hebcelt … congratulations. great news.
KingLubo … funny about how the blues do that …. they bring you so low, but somehow in doing that, they seem to cheer you up…
No additional public transportation to be laid on. God only knows where you will have to park next season.
Solution to the annual split problem.
1. Increase league to 14 teams.
2. Play 26 fixtures – 1 home, 1 away against all.
3. Then have the split into Top 6 / Bottom 8
4. Play all other teams in your half of the division twice.
5. Top teams have a 36 game league, bottom teams play 40 games.
6. For us, final 10 league games are all against the top teams.
Simples.
You’ll never walk alone CSC
This could seriously affect The Battered Bunnet and his two seated Beemer?

Previously I suggested that neganon should run Celtic … but he doens’t seem to be around much ….
your proposal is simple and straightforward and transparent … so, it might not catch on at Celtic (or Scottish football in general) …
but if you decide to run, you will have my vote … (with CRC as your running mate, I’m assuming1) ….
:)
BSR, very droll ! HH

I like your league split idea. Too sensible to catch on in Scotland though.
Everyone at #CelticFC is saddened to hear of the passing of Ray Wilkins. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

today marks the 90th birthday on one of my favourite poets … Maya Angelou …. so, to celebrate, here is one of my favourite of her poems:
Come, and Be my Baby
The highway is full of big cars
going nowhere fast
And folks is smoking anything that’ll burn
Some people wrap their lies around a cocktail glass
And you sit wondering
where you’re going to turn
I got it.
Come. And be my baby.
Some prophets say the world is gonna end tomorrow
But others say we’ve got a week or two
The paper is full of every kind of blooming horror
And you sit wondering
What you’re gonna do.
I got it.
Come. And be my baby.
