My friends, none of you have bathed more in the unadulterated joy of Sunday more than me. I had an early morning flight to catch on Monday but couldn’t get to sleep thinking about that goal. We need to draw a line.
Post-match on Sunday, Martin O’Neill, astute as ever, reminded us, nothing disappears faster than momentum in football. The “M” quality is ours right now, but 10 minutes into the game at Motherwell tomorrow it will be a completely different story if you, me, the thousands of Celtic fans at the game and our 11 comrades on the field have not realised wins against Newco are for show. Wins at Fir Park are for legends. If you are good enough to play like that against Newco, do it again.
Others talked about “five cup finals”, one mentioned “3 to go”, Celtic have only one cup final, only one game on our calendar, and that’s against Motherwell. Literally, nothing else matters. Bring the Celtic movement to the ‘Shire.

Rangers legend Kris Boyd has predicted Celtic will win the league ahead of Hearts, but only if Martin O’Neill’s side beat Motherwell on Wednesday. (Scottish Sun)

Still think something’s going to wrong. Been hanging on to a cliff edge for too long. Pity our fans left it so late to get their shit together and focus on what was important.
Memories :MAY 1966 Fir Park.
Motherwell…0 v Celtic…1 ( Bobby Lennox)
CHAMPIONS.
begs the question, who is actually selling them ?
the people who have a season book but never turn up ?
easy to find out by seat number.
prifittering off fellow celts, hhmmm.
Indeed, i am certain that among the support that will congregate at Fir Park tomorrow evening that there would be at least one who could be utilised as striker.

In the 61 years prior to the Bobby Lennox winning goal we had won just 14 leagues with 9 of those being before end of ww1.
5 in 46 years.
Since then in the 61 years since we have won 35. Nearly twice as many as our nearest rival. It might even be 36 by the end of this week.

Absoluely disgusting. Makes Ticketmasters dynamic pricing look like black friday.
I was left with a spare for the derby game due to a long awaited hospital appt arriving at the worst time. Took 30 quid for it which is the going rate for a ticket on the supporters bus.
I get the desire to make more money but if the club did this we’d all be up in arms. At least raffle it or something if you want more money so it gives folk a chance?!
B78
Motherwell is the focus,a place wee have had some fatal results.Defeat and hertz victory and we are clapping them on on Sat.
Game at a time,Celtic do what is in their dna,win.
We work for it.i hope wee press the hell out of mwell

The savvy street dog way is the real Celtic Way!
Every Celtic player in Maeda’s team should be able to hound and chase and hunt in packs like Maeda does.
Maeda is like a one man hunting pack.
If, we played Rodgers brilliant tactics, formation, shape, etc that he deployed away to Atalanta BUT with at least one quick high ball over the top to the unplayable pace of Maeda, or, Khun, we could have defeated Atalanta, Aston Villa, and, Bayern Munich as Vincent Kompany was a ‘rookie’ manager at the time.
Playing on the break is what underdog teams do, like we are in European terms.
THAT is how we got to Seville.
Two years later it was shouted down as long ball football by Celtic’s many snobby fans, which is not the Celtic way, said countless dim Tim plodcasts.
This shows the directors that the supporter base utterly sucks!
And that was in 2005!
A wise, savvy, fearless, bold, unreadable, dirty bass, if necessary, type of manager is what Celtic need.
Tierney could and should be our David Hay in midfield, a tough bassa sniffing out the scraps, doing the Maeda level of hounding and snapping at heels etc, taking the load off of auld CalMac.
Imho, the secret of David Hay is that, yes he was a tough bassa, but he had the amazing skill of tackling without fouling, which is a specially trained Celtic player, NECESSARY SKILL.
Why?
Well because Celtic play to a different rule book than every other Scottish team.
That isn’t chip on the shoulder, Timmy paranoia, it is a FACT!
Any player who is unaware of that FACT, should not be on a pitch in a Celtic jersey.
Any manager who does not instill that into a player before he signs on the dotted line, then that manager is not going to be the answer to Celtic ‘specific’ agendas that will be played against him and his team.
Any board who brings in a manager without THAT awareness should be removed with the manager who’ll be destined to fail, BUT might get away with it in the SPL level of canny afford the bus fare levels of opposition like we’ve had since Celtic’s PLC board of cowardly sleekits, accepted innocent of this crime, Scottish football fans,n no matter who they supported, being punished for what David Murray’s EBT Scam did.
We have players who glaringly, obviously, are not having the specific to all Celtic players, THE NOT SO HIDDEN CELTIC SPECIFIC RULE BOOK’ hammered into their heads before they cross the white lines, which is schoolboy error territory.
McCowan, a dyed in the wool Celtic fan, sauntering onto the pitch unaware that he is a target, with socks almost at his ankles, no shin guards, easy oasy, half ersed approach, easily shoved off the ball by a big ugly Hun, then jogging back to defend, etc, etc, etc, is unacceptable.
The entire dugout sitting watching that is unacceptable.
No wonder McCowan was subbed at half time!
Well done for correcting your mistake.
Directors bringing in their pals as managers is unacceptable.
Celtic are supposed to be an anti clique club fueled by merit, not secret society hand shakes.
Cliques are secret societies.
53,000 sleeping sleeper cells keeping the PATHETIC PLC Board in office since 2012, and then blaming everybody else when the papered over shambles shows its face, is unacceptable.
Brainwashing piss-fest, always the victims themed, plodcasts are anti Celtic.
Creating victim mentality is anti Celtic
NONE of these plodcasts supports uppity straight forward, looking in the mirror, soul searching, types of questions, which is dishonest, sleekit, anti Celtic, claptrap!
Virtue signaling is what pretentious goody two shoes types do.
Where to begin??????????

CHAMPIONS.
Bhoyjoe,
And 15 year old Emeraldbee was there to witness it!!! Not only that, I had a great view because for the first and only time I was in the main stand, thanks to a ‘brief’ from wee Jinky that I got an hour or so before the k.o., along with Stephen ‘Mick’ McManus’ future grand dad.
And of course a great view of the Celtic fans on top of the old shed opposite the stand.
That was the start of happy, happy days.
Ave Ave
man city have won 6 of the last 8 english league titles, including a never done before 4 in a row, and might yet win this one.
best league in the world .
meanwhile no price increase for man city …………….. and a stadium increase of 7,000 seats to an overall capacity of 62,000 plus.
with a 400 room hotel, and a 6,000 covered fan zone.
re cup final tkts, basket now expired and contents released. FN great stuff
in all its history – la liga has only had 9 teams who ever won the league.
it has been 22 years since a club outside madrid or barcelona won the league.
I’ve long been an advocate of the one day at a time approach…..
That said it only takes one or two calamities from Luke McCowan in possession to put it to the test….
Sweet Jesus!!!
3 new tickets selected and assigned and correct payment details entered, press review order and nothing.
Now counting down to basket contents released (again)
it has been 80 years since a club other than Belfica, Sporting or Porto has won the Portugese league.
In fact – it has only happened a total of 2 times in the whole history
3 horse league.
has anybody managed to buy cup final tkts ?

—————
at the game i thought Luke was having a stinker, and said so loudly, but
having watched the whole game again, it was a definate foul when he lost possession for the goal, and then it was so fortunate that the ball gets to moore, so i can give luke a bit of a pass after the event.
his set up reverse pass for the equalisier was very good.
but still martin did the right thing with a substituation, but i was annoyed it was seb and not jamesie.
and again, the bhoy gets a break for the daizen overhead kick.
what do i know, thats why it falls to martin …….. and he knows best.
Celtic Rainjurz and Aberdeen the only three never to have been relegated.

Question on 12th May 2026 2:14 pm
try login on another device, start the buying process again, if you have been given tickets from your first purchase attempt you will find out.
i know it is tempting to log-out of current one and start again, but you might loss them all together.
so stay logged in.

a hun actually argued that point with me one day in the workplace.
we didnt get releagted, we finished 2nd he said, and we got demoted, it is a different thing he argued.
i said you are right, better to be dead, and then they cant relegate you.
fuming he was,
SAINT STIVS Your Subject
Most big clubs have ST resale schemes, Celtic are such a well run club we’ve no plans.
Kicked down the road again empty seats don’t matter it seems they’re sold once and done. Emptys increase every season ( especially this ). Celtic can’t be bothered or don’t have the business wherewithall (can’t believe that) maybe it costs too much to fill the stadium, in advance.
ST culture has changed over the decades supporters don’t go
just because they’ve booked their seat, and someone else should be given the chance to formally sit in it. Small clubs or large clubs in the UK have ticket exchange schemes, club and supporters get the rewards.
Sleeping board losing investment? 💤
* correction to above ? Celtic Aberdeen Rainjurz and Sevco *
