Celtic swept St Mirren aside this afternoon as a hat-trick from Gary Hooper and goals from Georgios Samaras and Dylan McGeough
Celtic came roaring out of the traps and blew St Mirren away this afternoon. Georgios Samaras got the show underway on 4 minutes when he collected the ball after Marc McAusland failed to make a clean connection on the ball. Samaras still had a lot to do and carried the ball into the box. With defenders closing in from all around the Greek striker placed his shot instead of going for power. St Mirren keeper, Craig Samson got a hand to the shot but the ball spun slowly towards goal and settled 8” over the line.
Four minutes later, a clearly confident Samaras drove into the St Mirren penalty box before cutting the ball left for Anthony Stokes, who’s fired cross was turned over the line from 3 yards by Gary Hooper.
Samaras was running the show but was hampered by a knock to the ankle which he took a few moments to recover from. This coincided with St Mirren’s best period of play as the visitors gained more possession and territorial advantage in the period before half time.
Celtic started the second half just as brightly as they did the first as Hooper and Kayal could both have added to the score, however, the third would arrive 8 minutes into the second half. Victor Wanyama played an excellent forward pass to Stokes who hit the goal line before cutting back for Gary Hooper. Hooper collected with his back to goal but spun and shot in a sweeping move that left Samson with no chance.
Hooper completed his hat-trick on 57 minutes when he tried to play a one-two with Stokes but the ball was returned by a defender, allowing him to chip the on-rushing Samson.
18-year-old Dylan McGeough made his first impact as a Celtic player minutes after replacing James Forrest when he collected the ball 10 yards in front of his own box, ran 70 yards into the St Mirren box, before creating space and despatching Celtic’s fifth goal. An unforgettable moment for the young player.

If i was back home I’d make copies of what I’ve already done & start sending it around Tim World.
It’s fantastic to watch, Especially because you dont have to rely on having a good connection for youtube everytime you want to watch a clip.
It’s been a joy doing it. Think i’ll go watch Hartson bursting the net at Anfield for the 10th time today ;-p HH

ernie – who is lying about how many saltires there were in seville?
You know I have never mentioned numbers because I was not counting them on the day -the fotos afterwards clearly show they were there so not a figment of anyone’s imagination – I make no claim to any specific number, because that is not my point.
I saw enough. That seems to really brass you off. For some reason you are unable, or reluctant to articulate those reasons!
Instead- You select specific points from posts rather thsan take the entire point(s) in context- obsfucate- whenever it suits your narrow agenda. E,G.:
– if you never saw saltires (plural) at seville you were not paying attention and that is fair enough- however, the more you deny it happened, the more you make it an issue :-)
-‘more saltires at ipox than CP’ …does that surprises you? -there are also more red hands -should we give that emblem up too?
-something about anti-snp and legislation banners. Eh? a different discussion entirely,
but get in there anyway.
meanwhile still awaiting an answer to a few requests from myself and others on your whereabouts in Ireland -too sensitive to mention the townland or town, I can understand that ..what about county?..province even?….mebbes …blurt it out man …don’t be shy ernie, you know you want to…. :-)

Horrible news about Garry Speed – a reminder that mental health issues can be fatal…sad stuff. Always struck me as a handsome, clever, decent, successful guy – fantastic player…on the face of it – absolutely everything to live for – just goes to show you…dreadful news.
Saltires
Not getting involved but I always got the impression that Ernie resided here in Scotland. Could easily be wrong though.
Some people can pull the old tache off..
And oh,I’d love to do just that to him.
He makes the old 70s porn stars look cool.

That was a helluva goal, helluva game. Thanks for posting that link – brought back some great memories!
Thanks, Bobby Murdoch………Killie nearly score…
I usually don’t say anything about the Orcs, but really they are very very poor. How are they ahead of us? Having said that, I don’t worry, because I remember Chelsea, Man U, and plenty of others setting off as if their breeks were on fire. They were caught. This crowd will be caught too.
Gary Speed! RIP! Terrible news!

Can i ask you a question mate?
Why was Aloko not a superstar on Sky when he played with the sheep?
Did sally take the hair for his moustach from just above his righ ear……..either that, or he can’t afford a good barbour……LOL…!!
Very very sad news about Garry Speed.
Mental illness is so common yet still taboo. There will be quite a few on this forum who suffer. Hopefully you can fight your demons and seek medical help, there is treatment available that can help you lead a “normal” and happy life without the need to end life in the way Garry felt he had to. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
A real shock for me and an alarm call for many.
may he RIP.
