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.

Congrats to England for salvaging the draw
thoughts and prayers for big billy. ywnwa.hh.
It’s my dads birthday today ?79 years of age and still going strong.
He was at school with big Billy in Motherwell,st Mary’s I think,apologies if wrong
Hail, glorious St. Patrick, dear saint of our isle,
On us thy poor children bestow a sweet smile;
And now that you’re high in your mansions above,
On Erin’s green valleys look down with your love.
On Erin’s green valleys, on Erin’s green valleys,
On Erin’s green valleys look down with your love.
God bless and defend the sweet land of our birth,
Where the shamrock still blooms as when thou wert on earth,
And our hearts shall yet burn, wherever we roam,
For God and St. Patrick, and our native home.
Optional verse
Hail Glorious Saint Patrick you’re Erin’s great pride,
Watch down on the Celts on the banks of the Clyde,
With green and white banners a cross and a prayer,
Where Erin’s green valleys look down on Parkhead
FAIRHILL BHOY, think it was our lady’s in motherwell but I might be wrong also,hh.
Thanks for the share FB – big thing for the club if he declines.
Blogger……………..
The trajectory of the narrative evolves……
With iShortie and sleekit huns it’s like they go thru most of the Kubler Ross process
withooot getting to the “acceptance” stage………
It beggars belief and I can only imagine their superiors in Englandshire neither know nor care about the journalistic standards in scoddland they fail to uphold….

Pretty little lies….

Well done Ryan Christie, a really nice lad ,haste ye back son.
BP-you are probably correct,my memory of my dads stories are murder ?
Although my work mate has told me that for my dad to have played football at that school ment that my dad must have been no to bad?
Not that my dad would ever even say that

Ma mate lurks it’s not NorrieMs birthday … apologies it was a wee running joke that I was always adamant it was CQN10 but Cowiebhoy (NorrieM) was correct all along … at least 4yrs later I got it correct …
FB looks like wee KT might be leaving if the rumours are correct … I hope the wee mhan stays forever but the day that bhoy does leave he will leave with my best wishes …. Andy Robertson couldnae lace the wee mhans boots :-) (just my opinion)

my old man would have been 79 this monday and was at our ladys with big billy. must have also been in your da’s year ??
GFTB-couldn’t possibly comment,I’m just a diddy plastered plasterer who isn’t in the know
LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE ?-would be brilliant if they knew each other ?
Wolves taking the wheel off Ole. Sparkling second half performance from Wolves.
HOW is that not a RED.why are all the commentators MAN U supporters.
NorrieM 9.11pm
Hope you had a great birthday, ma wee nephew sent me a photo of him & Stuart Armstrong from that terrific night it was one of these memory things … my highlight that night was Tommy Coyne … what was your highlight with Celtic “scoring against Rangers” and Tommy any regrets “aye not scoring more against them” ?
Don’t think MK is a manure fan
Fairhill Bhoy 9.15pm
Not looking for inside info… personally I want KT to be the modern day Maestro … “but” if the wee mhan does leave I wish him every thing in the football world … I think he could be the best left back in the world, would staying where his heart is be the best option ??? Who knows … even if it’s not the best option I hope it’s the one he chooses :-)
I think K T will be here for 10 in a row then move on
Bankiebhoy, yep, an accountable backwater with little oversight or proper governance.
They seem to be able to employ, say and do what they like with no or little oversight.
DENNYTIM-I hope you’re right ?
KT won’t have a say in it,if a club offers a number, he will be sold…
Bada 9.56pm
Right offer, transfer comes in
Buying club ✔️
Selling club ✔️
Player ?

GFTB- Players are assets to a club, they will need to drag him out the front door…
Bada 10.02pm
I actually think this is one transfer the “bored” can’t control by all accounts Borrusia Dortmund keeping tabs on Toljan are more impressed with Kieran … that might be nonsense but I could understand it … I like Andrew Robertson and think he has came on leaps and bounds but still think KT is a better left back at both defending and going forward …. am afraid if KT goes we canny really blame the board… I would love to see him playing at the very top but still would prefer him to stay and break every record possible in the Hoops …
BB
Asset/commodity?
GFTB-FWIW and won’t be popular, Robertson is the better player right now IMO, hw is training and playing with far better players
