Carter-Vickers fundamentals

159

Celtic and Ross County have both visited Easter Road in the last week and both left with a draw, County coming from two goals down.  They are one of five clubs separated by a point, all hovering above St Johnstone at the bottom of the table.  While Celtic have preparations for a trip to the Metropolitano Stadium in a few days, County are playing for a contract next season.  They are undefeated in three games since defeat to Hearts in September; we can expect a robust challenge.

Like you, I felt trepidation when Brendan Rodgers talked about Cameron Carter-Vickers needing rest on Wednesday because of his knee.  Not only is he a tier-one defender, but he is also fundamental to the way we build attacks.  His assuredness on the ball makes opponents less likely to press, giving Cameron and therefore Celtic more scope.  The correlation between domestic success and Cameron playing is not coincidence.

Barring a setback, he will play in Madrid, but I could make a case that Dingwall tomorrow – our only away game in the league until December, is our most important game this month.  Play Cameron from the start, if he needs a rest, get the job done early and hook him.

The Israeli national team boss is not worthy of comment.  I get there is a lot of stress in the country right now, but ill-informed nonsense is unworthy and cheapens the term he used.  When you are provoked, your provokers win and are encouraged.

  2. St Mirren scored early and the negativity was palpable within the Support.

     

     

    If they had scored, to take the lead midway through the 2nd half, I could possibly understand it.

     

     

    Spoilt?

     

     

    I certainly won’t miss the Hampdump @ this time of year.

     

     

    Hearts, are brutal, I reckon they will be in the Final.

  7. My musical contribution

     

     

    50 years ago guy who was the back up quarterback for the undefeated University of Mississippi in 1962 wrote a country song about taking a red-eye plane to Houston. He sent it to a producer in Atlanta who asked him if he minded him changing the destination and the mode of transport. He then got Whitney Houston’s mother to record the song on an her debut album in 1970 alongside songs by Lennon & McCartney, Bacharach & David, Jimmy Webb, Melanie Kafka, Isaac Hayes and Jeff Barry & Phil Spector.

     

     

    It did not make much of a splash amongst that company but 3 years later it was sent to a fairly neglected Motown act who had just joined Buddha Records and 50 years ago this week it made it to number 1 in the U.S. Billboard charts and in 1999 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and is shockingly low down on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest songs but it is there.

     

     

    Featuring some much imitated back-up dancing by Bubba Knight, Eddie Patten & William Guest.

     

     

    I wish a Happy 50th Birthday as a hit to:-
