Brutal consequence sets stage for Giakoumakis

260

The consequences of a brutal Scottish Cup tie at Alloa, permitted by the kind of soft touch refereeing that would see official intervention during martial arts bouts, has left us without our captain for an undetermined period of time.  Callum McGregor’s facial injury was the most severe consequence, if not the most dangerous challenge.

We are likely to head to Tynecastle with Reo Hatate, who has played only 75 minutes for Celtic, and Matt O’Riley, whose entire experience is limited to a year in the English third tier, in central midfield, backed by Nir Bitton.

Should we get through this game unscathed, the experience will do us well as the same players are likely to be required when Dundee United and Newco visit next week.  You would be forgiven for thinking these games will go a long way to determining the outcome of the season.

Saturday offered little encouragement bar the opening goal, converted by Giorgos Giakoumakis, his second for the club.  Without Kyogo, Maeda and fourth choice striker, Ajeti, Giorgos has the stage to himself.  He has started three games since joining from Venlo in the summer.  This period could be the making of him.

    Not quite nothing Ernie….

     

     

     

     

     

     

    “Rangers set to take action against Celtic after chief executive Peter Lawwell comments on Ibrox club’s history at AGM ON the reporting of Rangers as founded in 1872, rather than a new club following liquidation, Lawwell told today’s gathering….

     

     

     

     

     

     

    “Rory Bremner can pretend to be Tony Blair”

    And that was it.

     

     

    Impressive, no?

    I understand – a constant torrent of machine-gun invective, hour after hour, day after day, week in & week out. Scotland’s answer to Stanley Unwin (remember him?)- where does he get the stamina from?

     

     

    Stanley unwin did he not used to call and blow kisses to his unelectable hero and call himself Tommy

     

     

    How many of you fake sjanks are on here fud.

    Lightheartedly claimed !!…oh so thats awe right then to “lightheartedly “claim !

     

    What is the difference of “to claim ” or to “lightheartedly claim”! 😂”

     

     

    One expression is honest and the other one is underhand and sneaky.

     

    Not too difficult to select which one fits McCoist.

  4. BB,

     

     

    Not really much of an update to be honest.

     

    Callum will be fine in a few weeks. He’s a big strong bhoy.

     

     

    Until then we have opportunity. If things work out for Ange, Callum may have to fight to regain his automatic place.

     

    I would imagine a captain’s armband will be no guarantee with Ange. Its merit only.

    Sevco £45 a ticket v Dortmund

     

    ••••••••

     

    Dim Tims paid £49 for a ticket to see Rangers v Celtic at Ibrox in 2016.

     

    Then the dim Tims sang “Your Not Rangers Anymore!”

  6. We don’t care what the animals charge, what the hell do we care

     

     

    However, for all football fans who are squeezed financially supporters do not have infinite monies to spend. Celtic’s pricing has been realistic, let’s keep it so.

     

     

    Football without fans is nothing.

     

     

    HH, the journey continues.

  7. Is this how its going to be on here now.That Eejit Kev J 5 names,filling pages with his tripe,day in day out.

     

    His continued slaughtering of the ST holders,and support as a whole should be enough to have him barred.

     

    Anyone who does not agree feel free to differ,just don’t give me everyone has the right to post what they want,nonsense.Standing in any Celtic boozers spouting those insults he would get gubbed.

    No aggression from me, I’m sure such posts would’ve been deleted after a whine or two from yourself.

     

    Maybe get yourself a thicker pair of tights? 👍 😉

    First match was the 1985 cup final against Dundee Utd. Was a season ticket holder from 1998 to 2005 but work commitments stopped me getting over regularly. Still travel to games once or twice a year. Should be going to the Dundee United game this Saturday but our local GAA club is playing in the All Ireland Intermediate football semi final on the same day so going to the Ross County game on the 19th March instead.
