Celtic will need to dig deep for victory

1054

Neil Lennon’s most inspirational victory over Rangers arrived in January 2011 when a depleted squad in poor form outplayed their rivals.  Despite this it remains a concern that Gary Hooper and James Forrest, the manager’s two most favoured players, are injury doubts for tomorrow. Whether Hooper and Forrest are fit or not, we’ll need all the fighting spirit from the win last year if we want to leave with another win.

Six days ago at Hampden we witnessed what happens when a team in the middle of a results slump focus on the most game they have left in the season.  Kilmarnock are a team with enormous vulnerabilities and I’m prepared to bet than none of you witnessed their last win over Celtic in Glasgow, but they got the result.  Tomorrow is the biggest game in Rangers’ season.  You can forget about Ally McCoist’s comments that Celtic are firm favourites, that’s what passes as mind games across the city. Any win would be an enormous achievement from Celtic.

    Have they not been left in the toilet due to a succession of corupt and dodgy foreign led ‘take overs’?

     

     

    Could be wrong but I thought they were ok until Mandaric sold them – and we know hes not white himself

    Yes there still is a CSC down in Kearney. I was a member but rarely visit now. It’s a 40 mile drive each way, and it’s so easy to watch Celtic TV on the big screen and sign on to CQN match thread.

     

    I’m in a near rural area where Celtic fans are unknown. I was disappointed that one of the deans at my parish, despite being married to a Scotswoman and being named Patrick Joseph, knows nothing about us. I get the occasional remark when I wear colours to mass, but little or no interest.

  10. There’s no point in trying to bring logic into the mix of such an important match but….

     

     

    It has always been hard to win at Ibrox and tomorrow will be no exception. By all means party like it’s 1999 when we win but let’s not get too over-heated about any “failure” to win at Ibrox.

     

     

    Usually it’s a tense fraught affair with precious little football and I don’t expect much different but a win, of any sorts, will be memorable.

  11. ALLY IS THE SAUSAGE KING.

     

     

    Today FPLG broke the spicy sausage eating world record- formely held by Tommy “Goose” Gilbert- of 4.84 lbs in one sitting. Super Swally smashed the record by recording a whopping 5.3 lbs of spicy sausage. There was violent rectal convulsions soon after and Ally was seen taken away on a stretcher by two men in radiation suits.

     

    “There wiz diarrhea right up Allys back. It came oot the neck o iz Rangers pull-orr. It wiz a terrible stinkin mess so it wiz.” An eye witness, big Smudger fae Larkie said.

     

    Scientists say the sphincter combustions were three times the magnitude of Liitle Boy dropped on Hiroshima. Indeed one mans geiger counter melted then evapourated. A number of people needed immediate medical attention.

     

    Image rights to a possible film – in the mould of Rocky- have been mooted by Hollywood bigwigs. It may even star Sylvester Stallone as the EK joker in the pack-

  12. Was well received last night on here so for any who missed it…….

     

     

    Oh your empire it is finished

     

    No Money’s left to seize

     

    Cos the greedy hand of Murray

     

    has brought you to your knee’s

     

    Two hundred miles from Donegal

     

    there’s a place that’s worth feckall

     

    and the groping hands of Whitey

     

    are grabbing at it’s balls

     

    Chorus:

     

    Feckall, Feckall you’ve lost it all

     

    For Murray’s greedy hands

     

    have sold you for a pittance

     

    and youse never took a stand

     

    There was Media lies and googly eyes

     

    and Smith refused to sell

     

    instead he blew your cash while you sung the sash

     

    now your all going to hell

     

    Your club is built on hatred

     

    Your fans are all to blame

     

    You hate the Irish Catholics

     

    and your known as Scotlands Shame

     

    You tossed some dosh at referees

     

    and when your players fall

     

    you sods proclaim a penalty

     

    claiming man before the ball

     

    Chorus…

     

    Oh the Tim’s will not be silent

     

    while ally’s lost his way

     

    remembering that the title

     

    will be coming lenny’s way

     

    We remember rule Britannia well

     

    She rules the place no more

     

    so keep on playing for Feckall

     

    your bigot’s to the core

     

    Chorus

  13. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Every time we put the ball in the net. I expect a Celtic player to be first to the ball and to sprint to the centre spot to place the ball.

    Awe Nae,

     

     

    Can you say what publications those two killie articles appeared in.

     

     

    They are brilliant, and deserve wider distribution, with the correct reference.

  15. Funny how Davis has stated administration has affected the team and elbows has come out and stated administration is no excuse.

     

     

    Aunt sally has not only lost every trophy he has went for this season but the dressing room as well.

     

     

    We win the tackles tomorrow, we win the game!

  16. To every Celtic Mhan going to the hunnery

     

    tomorrow God bless ,this is the last time Celtic

     

    will face the forces of evil,plus we may win the league.

     

     

    HAIL HAIL HISTORY IS OURS.

    a defeat will cause all the hun to try and gloat at us

     

     

    how i will enjoy rebuffing them

     

     

    mind ….it would be better to be hounding them

    Maybe im biased, worked with a bigoted hun who used to travel down to see them and he had friends who came up to ibrokes.So i’ve never really liked them.

     

    Although even after their first admin they still have very high earning players, mentioned the other week on SSN 1 player still on over £60.000 a week.So like the huns I think rather than downsize, live within their means and trade their way out of their problems they have stuck their fingers up to their creditors.

     

    As i said never liked them so could be a really good weekend for me.,

     

     

    LET THE PEOPLE SING!!

    6 cruise ships are due to leave in the next hour and US navy is conducting exercises offshore. Just watch a nuclear sub pass by.

     

    Enjoy and relax ahead of tomorrow’s excitement.

  20. Never known odds like this in my life for a game at ibrox.

     

     

    rangers 5/2

     

    Celtic 10/11

     

    Draw 11/5

     

     

    Dont let us down Celtic!

  21. …Rocky as a sausage eater. It will be called Anal Armaggedon. Supposedly a play on words for Allys terrible affliction & heroic sacrifice for his beloved club.

     

    FPLG was unavailable for comment. But is is thought Ally the cheeky chappy has raised £34, a packet of half eaten rollos and a coupon for Pizza hut toward the mighty gers fighting fund.

     

     

    Extension of last stupid post…hate these ibloodyphones!

  22. I have an unbelievably nervous feeling ahead of tomorrows match. I talked with my dad earlier today about Jinky’s cracker at Ibrox in 67, he was at the game and can remember when the ball hit the net and the force made the water sitting on the net spray off it behind the goal. He can also remember the reaction of Rangers fans outside the ground too.

     

     

    I have a ticket for tomorrow, in BF1, but feeling quite nervous about getting there and getting out of there….especially if we win.

     

     

    Stay safe at the game if you’re going tomorrow fellow CQNers.

  29. That lot seem to think Elbows is some sort of hard man. I genuinely think the guy is nothing more than a sneaky ponce. He acts the stereotype hardman then when it gets tough he rolls around feigning injury or just vanishing like the coward he is. Thats not to say he can’t hurt someone. As was shown with Kayal. I stated the above to an ugly hun in work and added how Beram always owned Elbows like a bitch…he just growled something about him being a “Jewish ned”…l blame the schools.

  30. I heard there’s a group of Celts, appropriately dressed in black, gonna be carrying a coffin down to the broomloan pre match :))))

  31. I met a guy in Bordeaux a number of years ago before a European game.

     

    He simply stated “I hate Rangers”. This was followed by “No, I really hate Rangers”, followed by “Really really hate them”.

     

    He seemed a really nice guy, but had hatred. I have a number of very decent mates who support Rangers. But “hatred” is such a destructive emotion.

     

    Lets love Celtic and have some fun tomorrow.

  32. Hope TimGhod is good to us tomorrow.

     

     

    Celtic, please, please, do it !

     

     

    Those lucky enough to be representing our club tomorrow – stay safe.

     

     

    Goodnight and God Bless.
