Yes, Newco players cheered hearing they would face Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final. Manager, Graeme Murty, earlier explained the legendary status awaiting those players who deliver the club’s “first” major trophy, so chances are they will have to beat Celtic at one point.
Murty has twice taken his team to Celtic Park and left with a point, moreover, Newco eliminated Celtic on penalties at the same stage of the Cup two years ago, after a 2-2 draw.
Make no mistake, this is a perfect draw for Newco. Celtic will have the league title secured well before the cup final, allowing Brendan Rodgers to rest players in preparation, should they progress that far. During those final weeks of the season, Newco, Aberdeen and Hibs will fight-out for positions 2, 3 and 4. They will not have the luxury of planning ahead for a final. If you need to beat Celtic, better to face them before the final.
Anyone who thinks all Celtic need to do is go through the motions to win this semi-final, or this weekend’s game at Ibrox, needs to be reminded of trips to Rugby Park and Tynecastle. We have had our warning shots.

Just 3 words of advice for Brendan

Pretty much in agreement with that. The tabloids are gearing up for their biggest daily sale in years.
I don’t think we’ll have a problem with complacency,and I don’t think we’ll have a problem with the eleven players facing us.
Our problem is going to be interpretation of the laws of the game. Simple as that.
And that,MWD,isnae fear. It’s experience. The huns don’t worry us,the establishment does. And the establishment does as the establishment does.
” Their fans will be totally rampant, proclaiming to all and sundry that “The Rangers are back”. “We are foing (sic) for 55” that “we told you so, we arra peepul”
In the aforementioned scenario, the words of the Great (not Grand) Master of Wit and Repartee, Mister Leigh Griffiths, should cause any nearby tables to do a 180:
“Yer club’s deid, mate, beat it!”

If you feel like a good laugh,head down to The Crown on Sunday and wind my mate up.

Where is The Crown
Surprised by the number of posters saying they would take a draw on Saturday. I can see the logic in keeping a 6 point gap with a game in hand, But I will be disappointed if we don’t show them we are the boss by hammering them.

I think it’s not far from Dublin Castle. I’ll phone my mate and find out for sure.
You’ll recognise him a mile off,apart from the tears and the Scottish accent. He suffers from the typical hun B syndrome.
Beady eyes,beaky nose,baldy heid,big bad gut.
Canny miss him.

I’m not worried about Sevco..I’m worried about our own performances they have been sluggish and ponderous much of the season. However our excellent performances Aberdeen Sevco Zenit and Hearts have been down to a few things as I see it..the atmosphere and the crowd being up for it and giving the players a lift and a fast start and working hard at closing down the opposition. I’m sure Brendan will get it right and the players will know their jobs.
1-3 on Sunday. Hungover on Monday is my prediction
