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.

Tom and I have had our differences since day one, I hope he comes back asap, he will, he won’t be able to stop himself…..
If the goalie was done – Celtic PLC would’ve spoken out surely?
If Celtc fans were done in 2016`s old firm ticket corruptions, Celtic PLC would’ve spoken out surely?
Only one of these issues is genuine.
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.
Still over 100 minutes to send your votes for our 3 top players from yesterday. Go on, go on and join the 75 who have already voted. Your opinions are just as valid, you know! There’s a first time for everything!

HH, thanks for your comment the other day my behaviour on the blog will change.
Saint Stivs, HH, i am really glad, you posted the history you did on the blog, even more so that you provided the names of the books and the author. Definitely going to buy those and have a read.
Tom McL please come back, a part of the reason i decided to start commenting on the blog was seeing people leave.
IMHO the rules are clear, if anyone thinks Joe Hart was’t at risk of serious injury look at the below photo, can’t remember who said a picture says a thousand words, joe was very lucky yesterday not to be seriously injured.

Red Card.
Entitled to challenge for ball, yes, but not to make contact with studs up on any part of opponent’s body – head , shin ankle or anywhere else.

Do the Laws of the game distinguish between accidental and intentional?
Genuine question as I was under the impression that they didn`t because only the player knows what his intentions were.
Red Card 100% Could have taken his eye out with the studs
quite easily imo
St Stivs,
He is quite ugly.

Has he really? I am surprised that Ange would want someone like that…..unless,of course, the young man now is a very different animal from the one who got the tattoo.

Excuse my ignorance. What is a ” Beatnick Rabbit” ” ?
