First the treble then the double slipped through the net leaving Celtic absolute certainties for the inaugural Scottish Premiership title, but with only a couple of higher aspirations to aim for. Fraser Forster is closing in on Bobby Clark’s Aberdeen league shut out record, which if he keeps a clean sheet at home to St Johnstone on Sunday, he would be able to eclipse 31 minutes into the visit to Tynecastle on 22 February.
Neil Lennon called Saturday’s defeat unacceptable but it would be just as unacceptable to concede to St Johnstone at home this weekend when so close to an all-time record. Saints have scored only one league goal away from home (at Firhill) since winning at Tynecastle on 2 November last year. Notwithstanding their four Cup goals at Forfar on Saturday, you could not wish for a more goal-shy league visitors.
The manager was rightly critical of his defence on Saturday so will hopefully use this weekend to ensure they are ready to play up for their goalkeeper this Sunday.
One of the highlights for the Celtic community last year was the incredible Ben Nevis Huddle, completed on the snow-capped mountain in June. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, 28 June. Applications opened on Friday and there are only 77 places left (big mountain but limited safe standing capacity). Go here if you want to get involved.

The young fella and his pal at the game yesterday
First half,got hit on the face by a coin thrown by Aberdeen fan
A shower of s##t
HH
I wonder who he was meeting, or is he at the wind up?

Very interesting meeting today. Rangers fans, 3 more wins in the cup and you CAN dig out your passport for next season.
I made a call to clyde ssb in 2011 because G Daziel said its a results driven business and I’m sorry but N Lennon has to go.
Ally McCoist = bad run = it’s the players fault says G Daziel hmmm how’s that work.
2014 H Keevins says N Lennon needs to go but not once says Ally needs to go with worse cup record than any manager.
Don’t worry Hugh it’s ok you said it yourself wee Ally does a lot of charity work for your daughter I get it honestly I do.

It’s a fake apparently.

Watch out for that squirrel :)
Efe is a superb footballer,amazing athlete.As a CH he is an absolute nightmare.Wont go down too well with many,I know.His biggest problem,which I mentioned yonks ago is that he cant jump.Well,not all the time.Sometimes he can,which does not help anyone around him.His problem is,he cant always time his jumping.Gets caught under the ball,or on the wrong side of forwards.As I have also said before,Nigeria dont even play him there.
I think the two Dons corners on Saturday went right over his head.The goal one definitely did.
Efe at RB,or sitting in front of 2 CHs bringing the ball forward,superb.At CH,not for me.
If you have not noticed it,watch him more closely.

Fake account I’m hearing from one of the KDS Bhoys..
The jack irvine comment is the sort of thing that should be challenged if true & if its an attempt to sell season books and is lies he should be ridiculed. Sfa,spfl, real journalists over to you!

Vulgar fractions?

He must have Platini in his pocket then.
I did find out that the SFA have to notify UEFA in April if any club are going to apply for a UEFA competition under the Article 15 that allows a licence to be granted to a club without a UEFA standard of licence where sporting merit dictates i.e. possible cup winners..
It is of course possible that UEFA would concede to such a request made by the SFA on the successful clubs behalf and I’m sure Albion Rovers would be delighted.

Franck Ribbery ruled out for two weeks after buttock surgery!
Bit of a bummer that.
HH!!
keevins revelling in the “sack neil lennon” bandwagon.
Gus Hiddink should be the man we go for next. Bags of experience, tactical knowhow, would have got the right result on Saturday with the correct team selection. Would have also got results in all the other embarassing games we have lost to lesser opposition.
TET
From those who have seen them play, we can sleep easy at night :-)

Bravo ,Palomine..

Man..Ah like that..
Kin Ah use It?

Really, glad tae Correspond ,once mair, Pal.
Ye ur a Treasure.
If sevco strike it lucky and find themselves at celtic park …….Celtic football club would be well advised to take out a bond (security)……against damage to our stadium,,these are the conditions that should be made known to spfl ……if damage is caused then you can wave goodbye to repair costs…….don’t seem to remember them paying back the 42k they owe to celtic……..or was that the club before the club….or the club before the other club that owed the money.
Hugh Keevins outdoing himself tonight. Take a bow…
Hiddink? Only if the multi-multi-millionaire has a fond place in his heart for Celtic.
BSR
I have seen them a couple of times, and agreed they are feckin brutal, but they have had a fair bit of help from the cheats with the whistles, in a one of game we all know how it can happen, sadly.
HH
Aye ole Gus Hoodwink could be the man for the Celtic.
Or possibly ole Fabio Cappielow!
HH!!
Kojo embracing strangulated English
Oh the irony
gus hiddink……….before big Malcolm Allison never on a month of sundays
HT,
Why should the Celtic TO handle Cup Final tickets?
Do Queen’s Park handle the tickets for Hampden finals.
I would have thought that the SFA would do that.
One the bright side, at least our support will be excused of giving credibility to the SFA by attending their Showcase game and cheering CP as he hands over the trophy!
It’s an ill wind CSC. : > )
Moonbeams Wet Dream.
Your list should go.
1/ Why is the Manager Crap at winning Cups.
2/???.
I don’t think there is a euro, euefa place for the sfa cup.i may be wrong .
Can anyone shed any light please.
Celtic football club will start preparing for CL beginning of july…..looking forward to this annual event…….let the other teams fight over the scraps and the splf mickey mouse cups
CRC
For the best team I picked players who are prepared for the physical side of the game and also prepared to work as a team rather than individual glory.
For substitutes, in the best team I picked players who can fit into several positions and prepared to leave their egos out of things for the good of the team.

new poster long time lurker sorry about the pronuuncations and the commas and full stops as a61 year old this keyboard bussines takes a lot of getting used to also blame the teachers at st augustines coatbridge for my spelling mistakes love this site love kojo and sftb and awno everyone who makes this site tick over after saturday just had to comment about our beloved team as much as i admire neil for what he has been through that was ameutirish in the extreme just when the teddy bears are imploding he puts out a team sorry the tactics of a team thats queinstable in the extreme please let me contribute to this site as the last time i was on here i was told to sling my hook because of my grammrerical errors god bless and hail hail
What’s Artur Jorge doing these days?
Well Keevins?
HH!!
And if it wasn’t obvious my criteria for the worst XI was defenders who can’t defend, midfielders who can’t tackle and track runners and forwards who can’t score goals which is why I feel slightly sorry for Craig Beattie in that he had some potential in that regard but his ‘full-time training methods’ left a bit to be desired.
Kojo
The guy in the Numskulls cartoon strip, which started in the Beezer, had 6 guys in his head.
You appear to be missing a few.
This may explain why you feel you got it right in criticising the line-up before the game against Aberdeen. Mind you, since you criticised the line up and the manager before 95% of games, you have been wrong much more than you have been right.
Keep looking for 4 missing wee men.
big packy
Welcome.
How big are you exactly?
Yer 61?!
I turned 60 on Saturday.
God bless the G(rey) Brigade.

Hiddink currently on 7 mil a year,Spurs rumoured to want him if they don’t make CL this season.
