I like the noises coming out of Ross County at the moment. Plucky optimism accompanied by comments about our Scottish Cup semi-final in 2010, when they fully deserved their 2-0 win. They are the proverbial team with nothing to lose, and make no mistake, they’ll fancy it.
They scored 2 against Motherwell, Aberdeen (in a defeat), Dunfermline and St Johnstone, 3 against Accies and Kilmarnock, and 5 against Dundee since last month. Hampden’s open spaces will see Celtic’s defence stretched wide.
After a disappointing summer and autumn we have a bit of form and focus but that goes on the line on Sunday. It’s as big a game as we’ll have for the rest of the season, bigger than Wednesday’s visit to Pittodrie.
I’m reassured by thoughts of Leigh Griffiths, and others, including Kris Commons, who enjoys trips to Hampden more than any player we’ve known, but this is a day when we’ll need to win a lot of individual battles. It’s not a game I’d bet on.

No trains down here tomorrow. Scotrail expecting overhead cable damage and fallen trees on line between Helensburgh and Dalmuir tonight. Erskine Bridge might close too.
Brrrrrrr
EMBRAMIKE

Wonder what happened to drunking Duncan’s EBT money.HH

Why do the Scandanavians never suffer the way we do. They’re weather is far more worse than ours? Serious question. My son lives in Helsinki, and with temps of -30 degrees and very heavy snow, they have no problems keeping the transport network open. Mmmmmm HH
Can I just post a huge thank you to Clogher Celt and Almore for the sterling work they are doing behind the scenes for Dublin Easter 2016.
Sipsini
I have a poster and programme of events for Dublin for you.
Courtesy Santa Almore. :)

Don’t remember the trains being put off here in advance of a gale warning before.
Mmmmmm indeed F.
Delaneys
Haven’t there always been trees at the side of railway tracks. .. haven’t we had 80mph winds before.
Yet a big section of asbestos roof was hanging of Ibrokes and the match goes ahead when winds are just as high

Loved big Mick in the Hoops. :)

Signing of Billy King
Ready made excuse for communal singing of we are “Billy’s boys”.
After all if the excuse the last time was being “up to their necks in EBTs”, this one is an easier sell.
Hun monkeys (no disrespect to Monkeys intended).

Did you read the links our mate Eddie posted concerning the Ibrox Disaster.
Pray history does not repeat.
If anyone wants to complain about the censorship of journalists in Scotland it maybe worthwhile contacting Reporters without borders
The thing about Billy King is that….he’s a dud.
And loaning a player who’s not good enough for Herts is not embarrassing at all.
Gearoid
The monkey shirts with King and Billy printed directly under are being manufactured as we speak. Sad weearrapeepul they are. Hope you are well G, and we hook up again soon amigo.
Hail Hail
Delaneys dunky

TTR
He canny get a game for Hertz. He has been poor all season and last.
Billy King wonderkid!
The loan signing of King Buully is nothin’ more than a wizard wheeze
by those Level-heidit prankers at Hun – guff central……
…….. the accompanying pictures an’ heidlines will be awash with hunned-up hilarity and the knuckledraggers and mouth-breathers will be appeased……….

Right noŵ many of you will be starting to doubt.
To doubt that anything will change in Scotland.
To doubt that Celtic will force Change.
Event fervent nationalists are having to face up to institutionally racist Scotland.
Every day brings more and more evidence. It becomes more and more surreal.
But it’s no more surreal than Scotland pretending the Huns didn’t have a sectarian signing policy. Or refusing to debate why Jim Garry behaved how he did.m
Or Neil Lennon bringing it on himself.
Or the guy who attacked Neil Lennon in front of millions on tv being found not guilty.
It’s just part of Scotlands racism.
Don’t expect it to get better. In fact……..
WEEFRATHETIM
Been watching Winterwatch.
They are tagging everything that moves.
Wish they would leave those wee scottish wildcats alone.
