Ahead of the Scottish Cup quarter-final against Hibs we discussed our exit at the same stage in 2014 and how that despite the procession towards the league title, it hollowed out the remainder of the season. Match day lost its edge and even a record 29-point winning margin could not compensate.
With a secure-looking 8-point lead in the league, the champions have a Scottish Cup semi-final to look forward to. Only a point separates Aberdeen and Kilmarnock, while Hearts are just three adrift of Killie. It is Newco who look abandoned, out of the Cup and with an 8-point gap above and below them.
You know a manager is struggling when he beings to sound like Gloria Gaynor, “I will improve”, was what Steven Gerrard told reporters after facing up to the prospect of a season which promises no more than a second place finish. Of course he will improve, it is hardly credible to suggest his managerial knowledge and experience will diminish from this point.
Maybe he will get £20m to spend in the summer and be able to beat Aberdeen comfortably in the cups.
Celtic visit Dundee on Sunday, a team with more motivation than any side from Glasgow. They are in the play-off spot, one point above automatic relegation and three from catching Hamilton and safety. Celtic are vastly better than Dundee in every department, but we will have to match them in appetite or suffer the consequences.
Neil Lennon suggested Callum McGregor may feature on Sunday. Our creative resources have been severely depleted with the absence of Callum, Ryan Christie and Tom Rogic. The latter two may be back for the semi-final, but we will need Callum fit and ready for games before then.

Almore, understatement of the year,
Almore
Indeed. Ireland have had a shocker.
Just as well i focused on the bigger picture:-)
Anyone seen the BBC stats on the hun game?
1:1 with 75% possession to Killie?
Chwarae teg i Gymru.
Preston think they got the possession a wee bit mixed up.
Moreloss should be off in 1st half, according to Gordon Wancell…
The Blogger: Ireland were poor and Cymru deserve the Grandslam.
England not being able to win Championship is a bonus
6 weeks added at Ibrox…
Jobo @10:29
Ricky Gervais ‘s After Life is indeed wonderful. The Thorns “Among the living “ near the end is a perfect song for that moment.

Yet another red not given
Hi Bhoys
FIX THAT LEAGUE TABLE AT THE SIDE OF THE PAGE THE HUNS ARE ONLY ON 60 NOT 62.
KEEP THE FAITH
Ugly scenes at the dilapidated Edwardian Toilet Block??????
I take it the iShortie sonar systems were in full working odour?
;)
5 minutes time added on for cheating.
Well done to my past pupil’s team for denying the Huns two points.
Goldson should have been given a red in last couple of minutes, even the Rangers TV commentators couldn’t believe he wasn’t off.
I’m sure Goldson will be fearlessly held to account for his actions by the scoddish meeja?
Another “Tait” time added on – if it wasn’t for Goldsons scythe might have had the same result – Red card all day long
BBC headline bingo: were Rangers (sic) ‘held’, ‘stunned’ or ‘frustrated’??
Seethen Gerrard set to blame the pidgeons.
Thank fk,he would have missed game at CP
Main thing now is that Celtic drive the stake through their heart. Win tomorrow & put this bloody League to bed for once and for all.
Haw Haw
Steve Clarke just booted sectarianism in the baws
Can the compliance officer do the right thing and up Goonson’s card to a red?
Anyhow…..let’s do tomorrow what we couldn’t do last week…..a 10 point gap.
No “rainjurs fail to win…..”
Will Goldson be referred to the compliance officer?
If not, why not? CSC
I blame the schools, saw this post over on FF:
“Goldson
Davis
Coulibaly
Kent
Candeias
Tav
Neither of these players should take the field again this season”
Rainjurrrz close the gap to 7 points to heap more pressure on Celtic…….
Daily Wretched.
The BBC will never use the word ‘fail’ and Rangers (sic) in the same sentence.
When it comes to Celtic…….
badabing
new season billions starts tomorrow over here.
The wee sleekit “St Mirren fan” turns the convo to The Wugby in utter desperation.
Archie Knox “commentating” on *Rangers TV, some crackers.
“We are one of the biggest teams in the world”
“He will learn what it means to play for Rangers”
Love the banter….
Slippy has a 50% win rate in competitive games with the hun.
Godsend is already out of the Glasgow derby due to his booking
in the Hibs game.
….any mention of songs or “chanting” – surely it musta turned hugly at full time!?
