It is difficult to overstate the importance of Sunday’s cup final to Motherwell. They have won as many major trophies in the last 65 years as Celtic have won European Cups in the same period. What an opportunity they have.
Sunday might be just another final to you and me, or more importantly, to the Celtic players, but it is a date with destiny for all at Motherwell.
Right now, Celtic players will still be de-escalating emotions from Wednesday night. It is difficult to switch from one emotional peak straight into an equally intense state, but if we do not find our sharpness or thought and body, the Invincible trail will end this weekend.
I don’t think that will happen; there should be a backlash from Celtic. The open wounds from Wednesday will be used as fuel. The players have been slapped about by the hurt of defeat and will want to avoid a repeat on a national cup final. If Motherwell want to win, score a goal, or if they even want to pass the ball, they will have to operate at a level they have only attained for seconds this season.
The stakes are as high for both teams. Let’s hope the matter is decided without controversy.
Have a great and memorable day at Hampden.

It’s what u leave behind u when your gone
Heard BFDF on Clyde earlier saying that a Motherwell win would be good for Scottish football
What about the cup wins for all the rest o the Scottish teams when ” the ranjurz ” were demoted
Wasn’t good for Scottish then was it
We need a strong (er) Frankensteins

Nope, just heard Phil O’Donnells daughter on the radio talking about her dad and young Luke O’Donnell going out on the park tomorrow to both sets of fans
THELURKINTIM
Naw,not Ernie. I usually agree with him.
Apart from his love of Abba,unforgivable in my eyes.

BMCUWP,
I looked bak a page…. on the invective…..it must be poor KevJ….ploughing a lonely furrow ;-))

Been lurking a lot and read a lot – watched the PSG game – a sobering experience – get the range of reactions, but think BR has a plan – if we have any aspirations to compete at that level, you can’ t park the bus, you have to learn how to play, take a few lessons and learn – he will make our academy players so much better – remember Man Ure getting pumped 4 nil by Barca and PSG getting horsed by Barca last year – it happens – keep the faith and hail hail for 2 moro!
….encore
Philbhoy,
Av been lurkin (shock) a page here n there….were’s that tutu ye borrowed from me ;-))

kojo is back
THELURKINTIM
I’ll give it ye back at the next HOOT!
Looks like we could be rightbackless tomorrow which could force BR to go 352 with the mighty Moussa and super Leigh up top. Hh
Tutus,THELURKINTIM and PHILBHOY.
Oh,my eyes.
Should be interesting though. I just love dodgy knees. Reminds me of Monty Python.

You’re a lucky guy. We should all have a stunning wife-and child-wi a white stick and a guide dog.

Si,Oui…. oh YEAH
It’s fantastic that Celtic and Motherwell are recognising Phil O’Donnell, super player.
Said before, my daughter is a good friend of Megan, Phil’s oldest. It was an absolute tragedy and hopefully his family will enjoy tomorrow.
Jmccormick/Fairhill Bhoy
Good to hear the positive news on your grandchildren
The Lions of Lisbon play went down well at Rutherglen town hall on Thursday. Frank (Lenny Murdoch) Gallagher and the rest of the cast were last seen having a wee post match swally in the Vogue Bar. Hh

Had a wee tear or two listening to Megan on the radio last few days, her wee brother Luke is now 14, he was obviously only 4 when his dad sadly passed away, Megan’s words were it helped when I realised how many people loved my dad….
Celtic will hopefully win the league cup tomorrow but the O’Donnell family will be in my thoughts whether we win or don’t
BMCUWP,
That’s totally unfair on Philbhoy…..I thought it was care in the community ;-))
That was ma granda’s tutu….then my da’s….so it’s a family heirloom….will need it bak before the next hoot, Philbhoy ;-))

I was at Firhill the day Phil O’Donnell made his debut for Celtic. He scored 2 that day. If Phil had stayed injury free he would have been a superstar. Best box to box player I ever saw. Hh
