Match 31 in Celtic’s domestic season: Motherwell at home, 29 wins, one draw and no defeats behind them. It all looks straightforward tomorrow. Right?
A reminder, if needed, that while Motherwell shipped seven goals during the week, St Mirren did the same to Gordon Strachan’s Celtic before knocking us out the Scottish Cup a week later.
It was also Motherwell, at Celtic Park, who ended Scottish football’s longest winning run of league games in 2004. Celtic had just beaten Barcelona but were held by Motherwell to halt the run at 26 consecutive victories.
Runs like this often end against teams with nothing in their locker but desperate defending. You’ll see that from the visitors tomorrow, whose players will surely have had a word with each other about collective responsibility.
Take nothing for granted. Celtic have worked hard to get into this situation in the league but they will have to work just as hard to maintain momentum.
How does Brendan do that? I suspect by shuffling the pack again. We have genuine competition across the team. The central defenders must be scared to sneeze in front of the manager in case he drops them and they don’t get another sight of the pitch for weeks.
Full backs feeling a little weary late in the game? Don’t show it, Emilio and Cristian are ready and waiting. James Forrest and Patrick Roberts are both delivering at the highest standard of their careers, otherwise they would not be considered.
While Leigh Griffiths is injured, Moussa Dembele will be confident he will get the opportunity to score three consecutive hat-tricks, surely an unprecedented achievement. It’s only Scott Brown and Scott Sinclair who can be confident of being included when fit.
The former, because he is captain and leader of the team, the latter because he has had the most profound impact on Scottish football this season, unequivocally Player of the Year.
You are looking forward to seeing these guys do their stuff tomorrow, I can tell.

Some don’t realise how good, I only base my opinion on my nephews & their mates…..and they are loving beating whatever sort of Hun they face……… I wish I lived this through their eyes, although I am actually quite happy living through the 80s & 90s (when circumstances allowed me to follow my team everywhere even when we weren’t the best)

It is Time to stop Anger Full stop.

Celtic ALWAYS.
Haters will always HATE.
GFTB 2.39am
That might have been Jason Whittle with Gary Holt
One of my favourites was definitely Stuart Slated, nobody remembers his old firm debut at Celtic Park when that bhoy could have scored about 4 and also in the Burley 77min & Lambert 86min 2-0 nobody remembers Harold could have had 5 if it wasn’t for the flying pig …………
Anyways ………..it’s easier to forget than remember
we shall remember.

No hate in this household……..Maybe a dislike here and there but even the wee blade says no hatred…….dislike all you want :-)
Jason blinking Whittle should read

I know nothing about the Administration of German Fitba.
Germans are quite efficient @ things.

MARGARET MCGILL: Said….
Who on here will deny that BR is here because of hunnery ridiculing DD in last years Scottish cup semi final?
You need to think outside the current Goldfish bowl.

FYI..
Brendan’s was ‘Tapped’ up by Dermott weeks before We Played Rangers..Weeks..
Tho the Result might have got him a Few Extra ‘k’s in his Contract and Free Year Spend..¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MIT: that’s me just in from a small session. I’ve read and re-read your response to my initial offering. Please allow me to sleep and sober up somewhat before I attempt a civilized rebuttal. Before the game in the morning I should be cogent; certainly not any brighter. I’ll post then.

Did Dortmund not get a handout face Munich ???
Am a rubbish Catholic and even worse Christian but will try an give it a go, 20yrs ago I had no time for my dad (loved my mother probably the best person I have ever met) but I am now turning into my dad but hopefully in a far better way……although his way was only way he knew….. A rubbish story when I was younger at the end of Mass the priest says “go the mass has ended” I used too go Yass….then my father gave me a skelp….. I must have told Miss GFTB this years ago as every time the priest says “go the mass has ended” she says “Yass” then tries to slap me on the head
Totally pointless story but it’s 3.15am so nobody is reading
By the way Mrs GFTB is worse than my mum & dad making me & the wee blade go to mass …. I still question my faith all the time…..
