Victor Wanyama scored the only goal of this game after 72 minutes, a postage stamp corner cracker from outside the box, but the 90th minute created most drama as Fraser Forster saved an Eggert Jonsson penalty to secure the points.
Celtic were forced into yet more injury changes as third choice right back, Cha Du-Ri, was drafted in, in the absence of Adam Matthews and long-term absentee, Mark Wilson. With Emilio Izaguirre and Joe Ledley both close to returning to action Charlie Mulgrew played left back, giving Celtic a physical looking formation but they struggled to impose themselves in the opening 30 minutes.
Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes offered little up front all day but Hooper had two gilt-edged chances before the break. James Forrest hooked an awkward cross in from the right which the Hearts defence failed to deal with, allowing Hooper to shoot from inside the six yard box but he tame effort missed the target. Minutes later Hooper was again presented with a chance inside the box after Georgios Samaras hit the goal-line on the left but the striker failed to get his feet in gear.
Anthony Stokes connected well with a shot from 25 yards which tested Kello, the only real effort either keeper had to deal with in the first half. Stokes came close again after the break but he couldn’t quite get high enough to above James Forrest’s cross and his header rebounded off the bar.
Charlie Mulgrew struggled with his delivery from free kicks and corners all afternoon but the ball broke to Victor Wanyama on 23 yards out after one Mulgrew free kick. The Kenyan brought his foot from right to left across the ball, injecting a devilish degree of swerve to leave Kello rooted to the spot as the ball flew into the net.
With the clock running down Fraser Forster failed to deal with a corner and Wanyama was penalised in the resulting melee inside the box resulting in the penalty. With Jonsson ready to take the kick Georgios Samaras stood over the ball insisting it was not correctly on the spot, taking a clear opportunity to unnerve the kicker. Jonsson refused to re-spot the ball until the referee moved it clearly away from its initial position and insisted it was placed again.
When Jonsson eventually took his kick he struck it well enough but Fraser Forster dived quickly to his left and turned the ball behind. The winning run continues.

I’m the same mate a few weeks ago i was out of it but 2 or 3 of my teams have turned it around so it’s looking good.
Great time of year to win cash so enjoy your winnings, Give that Celtic store a pounding haha. HH
Dont know how much truth in the rumours Kayal & Ki could be subject to big bids but if they are to leave we should try to get James McCarthy & Barry Bannan back up the road.
TT
The website has gone, it was only set up to stop a brit couple in the village taking the piss, they were a wee bit like craigie whytie, total chancers, and as wee craigie is finding out, their day will come, they will be gone, just like the charlatans where I am, they will be gone.
Me am as happy as a pig in the merde, won a cave tonight, a lot @ 2/1,.
Single bets the way to go.
I won a cave tonight.
Thanks btw,
As I am as happy as a pig in the merde, and no car boot in the morning, may I take this oportunity to say that today was the day we won the league, the penalty was there for all of sectarianland to see, a joke btw, and big Fraser sorted it.
Big Fraser sorted it, he won us the league today.
Time for bed, totally bluttered, mucho vino tinto.
God bless and take care all you Tims out there

The Glorious Balance Sheet
Don’t forget my mate Stevie Nowosad from Morningside.
to be fair, Paul67 is givin Hooper the pelters not any other player.. Big Fraser saved our season, literally
the glorious balance sheet @ 04:10
Why over-complicate it?
Best to say, “Roon yez ya muppets”.
Imo…
Hooper’s done okay but not been the star he was last season (where he won little recognition, no?).
Stokes should have been player of the month (player of our season so far, most consistent), but that would have been too hard for them to stomach. Far too hard.
Duffield and Moisty and in-hoose tensions at Mordor:

so far….
Khan round 1
Khan round 2
Peterson round 3
Even round 4
Khan round 6
Even round 7
how did i manage that!!
Even round 4
Khan round 5
Even round 6
Peterson round 7
Peterson round 8!
Khan round 9
Khan round 10
Even round 11
Even round 12
and the result is….
Peterson 113-112
Khan 114-111
Peterson 113-112
& Peterson is champion.
Good fight & Khan is a great fighter but if he thinks he can move up & get in the ring with Mayweather he is dreaming. Mayweather would knock him out in 5.
Amir Khan “It was like i was against 2 people in there. The referee just wasn’t giving me a chance. I was against him and the referee”
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD AMIR
Amir Khan went down to a shock points defeat by Lamont Peterson to lose his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles in an exhilarating fight in Washington. Two points deducted from Khan for pushing proved crucial as the judges scored the fight at 113-112, 113-112, 111-114 in favour of the challenger. The Briton rocked Peterson in the first round, but the American launched huge attacks in the third and seventh. Khan recovered, but the docked points proved crucial. Talk before the fight centered around Khan’s desire to move up to welterweight, the Bolton fighter frustrated in his attempts to secure light-welterwight unification bouts with with WBC champion Timothy Bradley and WBO title holder Erik Morales. The former Olympic silver medallist has spoken of his desire to meet Floyd Mayweather at 147lbs but those hopes now seem set to be placed on hold after this demoralising defeat in the American capital.
Scott Brown came on and he did what needed doing, he sorted out McGowan and Black and he got right in all their faces. He had Black well wound up by the end of the game. No longer were they bullying with impunity. Strange you’ve never heard Scott Brown ever claim that Celtic is a stepping stone to the premier league for him.
Scott Brown does upset the opposition and that is their tough titty. He has a role in the team that no other fulfils. He does it with glee and a smug, smug smirk too. I am amazed that so many Celtic Supporters are so quick to mark him down.
BTW, just in case nobody has said it before now… it was not a penalty and I don’t think it was the ref that called it as such either.
For me that was the best game of the season by far.
Brown did his bit he stood up to them, the penalty I just don’t see how it was hand ball it looks a header all the way,but credit to big Fraser well done lad, good fight enjoyed it
