Celtic’s record win, 11-0 over Dundee in 1895, was the era before substitutes. Due to injuries, Dundee were down to 9 men before halftime. The 9-0 win over Aberdeen in 2010 benefited from three penalty kicks – and, as Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee put it after the game, Celtic had the attendance of Henrik Larsson in the stands to inspire them (honestly!).
By a subjective measure, yesterday’s 0-9 win at Tannadice is the most comprehensive victory in our illustrious history. Whether we would have added more, if Steven Fletcher received the red card that should have come his way after a 2nd minute studs-up and to the head challenge on Joe Hart, is open to speculation.
For me, the addition of Liel Abada to the starting line-up made everything click for Celtic. Set aside his hat-trick, that defence-splitting pass to Jota, who squared for Kyogo to start the rout, typified what he brings to proceedings. When Adaba, Jota and Kyogo synchronise like this, it is easy to get carried away.
History will not record that Dundee United competed well for over 30 minutes of this game. Celtic had some shaky moments at the back that would be exposed by better opponents. When Matt O’Riley won possession and the ball broke to Kyogo to score the second, the game was over as a contest. United looked as though they knew another pasting was coming their way and could do little to resist.
Alexandro Bernabei came on for his competitive debut and, playing as a left-sided attacker, did enough to encourage. Ange and his players will spend the coming days contemplating the form they have hit ahead of three important games in three different competitions. We have the League Cup first and cannot get ahead of ourselves.

Shirley shome mishtake???
Sincerely hope this is a case of mistaken identity. I’m a big fan of your debating jousts with SFTB,inter alia, and oddly enough I find myself agreeing with both of you. Likewise, I never miss a post from HOT SMOKED and, indeed, look forward to his contributions which is quite saying something on CQN these days.

Bobby Lennox scored in my first ever Celtic game. 1-1 at Killie in 1980 (the poor run post Madrid game)
I still remember the dust clouds from the crappy pitch making it hard to see his finish!
Think it was Frank McGarvey’s first game?

Jim White no longer works for SkySports, hasn’t done for some time. But he does works for TalkSports radio, in fact he is on air right now with Simon Jordan and Trevor Sinclair, the latter of whom never misses a chance to sing the praises of Celtic FC.

Which one is Bobby?

I wonder if the English media are subtly trying to paint Liverpool as the bad guys responsible for Parker’s sacking ?
The headlines on newsnow Celtic seem to be doing just that with the Jack Ross sacking .
CHAIRBHOY on 30TH AUGUST 2022 9:02 AMI really haven`t got a clue what you are talking about but, like you said, I could have forgotten.
As you , apparently, have my e-mail, send me one so that I can check if I have ever sent you one.

Thanks for your kind words. I FEEL it is a case of mistaken identity but Chaiman`s response to my lighthearted comment concerning disbelief that we had won 9-0 away from Home makes me wonder.
Anyway, hopefully he will contact me ( If, indeed, I am who he thinks I am !) and I can take it from there but thanks again for your support.
An T, The sculpture is incredible, as is how it was funded.
I really love poetry and have just discovered that the Celtic Wiki has a poetry page.
I am going to go and have a deep dive into the poems in a little bit.
An Gorta Mór
Forced the Irish nation
To flee their homeland
Of death and starvation.
Forced to immigrate to America,
To New York, Baltimore & Boston
Were the wind-borne potatoe blight
Had been born.
Some crossed the Irish Sea
To the city of Glasgow
To seek refuge in a city
That the Church of Scotland controlled.
They lived within the poverty,
The abuse and oppression,
Obstacles that lay in their path
By the Protestant population.
Glasgow was not the Promised Land
For the Irish Catholic community,
They fought the prejudice and bigotry,
They encountered each day.
The Irish Diaspora cried out to Our Lord
To provide them with a saviour,
For their faith and heritage
Was to be preserved by Brother Walfrid

I once met Bobby Lennox, he was in a junior football clubs bar after Celtic had brought a youth team to play in a testimonial for some junior player who had played over 20 years for his team.
I went up i was Somewhere between 18 and 20 years old.
I went up and asked if i could buy his friend and him a drink, i called him Mr Lennox.
He told me i could as long as i called him Bobby.
I might as well have been standing with my jaw dropped.
I was starstruck he chatted away to me good style.
He must have had starstruck youngsters like me do that on numerous occasions.
I was and still struck by how decent a man this living legend was.
When Celtic played the rangers in the league for the first time, i had read that Bobby and another Lion had said that this was the fastest Celtic team he had seen.
They also mentioned how slow the rangers defence was.
I went into Paddypower and stuck a tenner on Celtic to win by 4 goals.
The staff were almost laughing out loud at me.
I had great pleasure in going in to collect my winnings.
That was first time i had placed a bet in years.
Haven’t placed a bet since.
Your Kyogo tip tempts me, i was at the game in Morton when Frank M scored 4 goals there was a horse running that day, think Celtic Shot or Celtic Chieftain or Celtic Warrior.
I went home with more money than left the house with.
The roof of the bookies nearly came off, place was packed solid with loads of us in their.
P.S wonder what Bobby and the other Lion whose name i can’t remember think of the speed of this team compared to the one that beat the current incarnation of the huns.
Away to read poems for a while now.

Front row – second in from the left? I am pretty sure.

If anyone is interested, Kyogo finished second on his debut at Epsom today. A good opening performance. (Hit the post)? May well win races, possibly more likely in nurseries once handicapped. Definitely runs in the Hoops. Owned by an Irishman, Peter Trainor, from Clogh Fadha. Maybe some kind of businessman, or even ex-footballer? Seems he might be a Liverpool supporter, but not uncommon for their Irish supporters to also support the Bhoys. My cousin, Michael, did but was passionate about Celtic.
