Three weeks after putting 8 goals past South Lanarkshire’s top team Celtic struggled to demonstrate their superiority against the county’s least decorated SFA member
We’ve seen these games before, East Kilbride looked no weaker than the Arbroath team who took us to a replay after drawing at Celtic Park a few years back, but neither performance was an endorsement of Celtic’s football.
I’m getting an uncomfortable feeling that teams know how to play Celtic. For most, this knowledge will not affect the result, but some, like Ross County and Aberdeen, will figure they can give us the ball all day, and as long as they stick to task, they’ll have a chance.
The only resolution to the ills of the last three outings is to get back on the field and boss a game the way we did several times last month. Ross County and Inverness both visit Celtic Park in the next two weeks and both need to feel a backlash. Let’s hope.

TBB-I thought EK handled themselves very professionally since the draw was made,including the Hamilton debacle,onwards and upwards for them. HH
Simnovic has fractured leg.Cultsbhoy how many times have you been to Celtic Park in the last 10 years?
MiT,
I am open to correction and usually am, but I think I heard/read somewhere that Ossie went back to Argentina, post career and resumed his studies.
Probably not true, but, hey,I guess it doesn’t really matter !
Bada – a few games were being played behind closed doors over the past couple of weeks, if you catch my drift.
Thomthetim … as you say, nothing much hinges on whether he was or is ….. what was clear was that he was a great footballer … and the times I saw/heard him interviewed, he seemed like a good guy too. Always liked to see people like that do well ….
Cifcti subbed 34 mins into debut for Turkish side – unclear if due to injury, p1shness or all of the above,

Bit of useless information :-
The National Library of Scotland ( where the brill footage comes from ) is soon moving to the revamped Kelvin Hall in Glasgow.
Must be worth a visit.
HH.
The current team eh?
Its akin to trying to figure out who the altar boys should be when the priest is drunk.
Who would win in a fight between Fred Quimby Alfie Noakes and Mr Pastry?
go on knock yourself out CSC

Not useless information to me.
I will be there:)

They (he) would all win and all lose.
Oh, and possibly all draw.
The Green Man,
Nobody here hates PL.

Wow, that is a whopper of Pinochio proportions.
Cheers and HH to you.

I certainly dont hate PL.
Dont know anybody that does.
As i keep saying….Its not a personal thing.
I mean…it would be a bit sad to hate someone you dont know personally.
However…It is certainly valid to challenge his record in his capacity as CEO.
But you knew that..right:)

Traffic fines is it?
Three years ago, I was driving a hired car in Glasgow. I hadn’t driven in the city for about 35 years, so the traffic layout was a bit different from 1978.
Anyway, I was looking for the Buchanan Gallery car park and was travelling along what I remembered as Cathedral St.
A month later, after returning to Ireland, I got mail from Europcar, whom I had hired from.
They enclosed a photo copy of a citation from Glasgow Council, showing “my” car in a bus lane.
Being the helpful company that they are, they informed me that they had paid the fine on my behalf, as they had my credit card details.
They explained that though the fine was £60, if it was paid within 30 days, it would only be £30.
Very impressed with their customer service, I was.
Also enclosed was their invoice and receipt to me,
It read.
Fine £30 (reduced due to early payment)
Administration £30
Vat £06
Total £66.
TBB-seemed like Hamilton enjoyed embarrassing Regan and Co…..
Nadir Ciftci has scored twice as many goals as Colin Kazim Richards in the past five seasons

which poster would cause more fights in a an empty house than all other posters put together.
My main criticism of the board is only dipping their toe into safe standing.
I’d have changed the bottom tier of the Jock Stein into the standing section. It might of pissed off some folk who wouldn’t want to move, but there is going to be plenty of seats at Celtic Park for domestic games.
We only sell out for Euro Games and we’d have to put the seats back in anyway!

I have a company car and got hit with £42 admin fee on a £30 fine!
A week of strife; three Celtic games live on telly for millions to watch and we came out looking second-rate and shambolic.
1) Sviatchenko at leats looks the sort of character you can confidently let marshall your defence. Put him in charge, have the others scrap for their places.
2) Scott Allan and Ryan Christie are WELL overdue starting places.
3) To me it is a measure of Ronny Deila’s managerial decision-making that Gary Mackay-Steven kept his starting jersey for all three games.
4) I’m impressed by Aberdeen’s mental strength. For some reason we have lost self-belief. A ridiculous state of affairs for those wearing the Hoops, but a telling sign of players out of their depth.
I’m not expecting arrogance from one of ours but when you pull on the Hoops you should recognize that in itself is an endorsement of your ability, one which elevates your potential – if not immediate status – above the norm. Currently, all that pulling on the jersey seems to do is turn supposed top pros into introverted, anxious teenagers on prom night. Just not good enough; stick your hooped chest out, dig deep, and beat what’s in front of you.

Mr Pastry….where are you?
Have you done an Alfie Noakes type escape under severe pressure?
Come back…your critics await:)

easy money.
BSR,
Are you still in Dublin?
Whilst I’m no fan of GMS, I’ve seen Scott Allan come on in several games and I’m not convinced.
Christie played for the development squad and did ok. I’d no rush to put either in.
I drove into a bus lane in Glasgow city centre (but I think I got away with it)!
And ,no, I wasn’t driving a bus-:)
nnnnn
I see the sNP are ramping up their attacks on serious crime. Latest crimes will be parking on a kerb and the henious double parking.
Nail them up i say. Nail some sense into them.

SEA CITY GREENOCK
1974, narrated by Cliff Hanley, some great images.
A wee prize for anyone who can spot the deliberate error on the Greenock Telegraph.

I’m in total agreement with you on the standing area. Unless it’s a structural design issue, I think they’d have been better installing the whole lower tier of Jock Stein with the rail seat system. Every Bundesliga club has it and the atmosphere generated is very obvious, and something that’s been missing at CP since the Jungle went.
i hate douple parkers and on the kerb parkers as well.

In Dublins fair city where the bus lanes are so pretty.
Indeed, she’s shopping till dropping in Grafton St area
How about a Celtic board comprised of: Canamalar, Awe_Naw, Cultsbhoy, Neganon, SydneyTim, TD67, Mr Pasty/AlfieBoakes/Ryecatcher/ErnieLynch?
The shenanigans at board meetings would be of more entertainment value than ANY game of fitba!

I expect a full, unabridged and non redacted report on your return.
Did you visit The Church, at the top of Henry St.?
BSR.i should have said castle instead of house and I could have milked it for all its worth.
