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.

  18. Media House in overdrive in this mornings papers. Bids for the Huns arriving at a daily rate apparently

     

     

    Isn’t it funny how they haven’t mentioned that D+P have pulled out of next Fridays court battle over the £3.6m. That money is now not coming to Ibrox.

     

     

    Beat them today Celtic.

     

     

    As someone so succinctly put earlier

     

     

    “Lets dance on their grave when they are liquidated”

    For my money, the most extraordinary accomplishment of this blog, among very many indeed, is the destruction of the myth of the paranoid Celtic fan. Whatever the complaint, no matter how well-founded the suspicions or how obvious the bias, all could be blown away with shrieks of ”paranoia, paranoia” from those with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo in Scottish football.

     

     

    For years we have had no redress. From the acceptance, indeed encouragement of a sectarian employment policy, through readiness of the authorities to put Celtic out of football altogether in 1952 despite no rule having been broken, to the Farry conspiracy to ensure Rangers got at least nine in a row, and then the last four years of in-your-face, what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it ”honest mistakes”, we have had to suck it up in the face of mockery from the Scottish media and an unholy alliance of those who love Rangers and those who hate Celtic, not always the same people in ”the best little country in the world”.

     

     

    And now, in the space of one glorious year, it has all been laid bare in glorious Technicolor — the financial doping, cheating, lying and covering-up of Rangers Football Club, and the corruption of Scottish football’s officialdom in turning a blind eye to it all.

     

     

    Many hands have contributed to this work, RTC, but your place in the Pantheon is assured. Congratulations to you, and my eternal thanks

    Yep,sums it up for me.

     

     

    With additional thanks of course to one or two others…………
