If you cast your mind back 50 weeks to the visit of Barcelona to Celtic Park you may remember we took to the field with a so-called skeleton squad. Captain, Scott Brown, was missing, as was Hooper, Stokes and Izaguirre. Of those outfield players on the bench, only Paddy McCourt had made a dozen appearances for the club.
We lost Lustig and Samaras to knocks during the game, replaced by Watt and Kayal, respectively (yes, an 18-year-old striker replaced the right back).
The script was written. We have another enormous challenge ahead tonight but I would rather tackle Ajax than Barcelona.
There will be an abundance of energy from the crowd, and from the Celtic players, but discipline is all important. Don’t make unforced errors, don’t take unnecessary risks, don’t pull jerseys, and most importantly of all, don’t concede free kicks in dangerous areas.
The team who makes the fewest mistakes will win the game; we don’t need to be desperately creative, just stick to task.
This is our Cup Final, let me at them…

Gallowgate same as any other match night now.
Ajax fans I met were good guys. Said their hooligans were joining up with zombie hooligans, and to watch out!
2-1 I hope.

Boerrigter injured.
Well here we go again.
Another fantastic occasion…..regardless of the outcome.
Its where we hoped to be again this year.
Last year was absolutely amazing and it kinda set a benchmark….nothing wrong with that, but it was probably as good as we could have imagined.
Can we do that again?
Gonna be a massive piece of that jigsaw tonight……i know its no a word but…….its HUMUNGAS!!!!
Almost certainly we have GOT to win tonight to do it again.
Can you just imagine what it must be like to be a player in that dressing room right now?
What must it be like to walk out into Paradise and hear The Walk On?
Ive got to get along to 1 of these nights myself sometime!
Tonight though……its the Pee-Weep for me in Bonnybridge……must have been about 10 years since ive been in there…..heard its lovely now……we shall see……as long as we win….i dinnae really care!
Have a good night everyone!
