Having strained a hamstring against St Johnstone on Saturday, it is not credible to expect Giorgos Giakoumakis to play any part in Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final. We have surely learned from recent experiences that strained hamstrings require proper rest, to prevent a more serious injury.
Kyogo’s return to action was a joy but too brief for him to be considered as starter anytime soon. He will be fit to torment defenders in small doses only for a while. That leaves us without our MVP in recent months and our MVP from the first half of the season in a hugely important cup tie.
There are reasons not to be too concerned. Celtic have scored nine from eight different players since the last goal they conceded, Matt O’Riley is the only one to have broken the sequence by contributing more than once. This team contribute goals from all over the park. Maybe Hampden will see Greg Taylor get in on the act!
The post-split fixtures are likely to see us go to Ross County and Dundee United, with Newco, Hearts and Motherwell at home. Hopefully the game at County’s tiny Dingwall stadium is not material to the title race. The SPFL have known the scenario for two days now, so let’s hope the fixtures come out this afternoon. When you live in a Scottish bubble it is easy to forget many people have difficult and expensive travel arrangements to book just to see their team play football. At the very least they deserve as much notice as possible.

Off to Celtic Park tonight for the Celtic B v Old Firm B match.
Looking forward to a relaxed and tension-free occasion with a decent turnout and a few goals.
Hail Hail

What is a shallow view j?

GREEN PINATA,
It would NOT matter a Jot if every Celtic supporter dressed up as The POPE this Sunday while attending the Match…The HUN Scum ANIMALS do NOT need any so called ” Further so called provocation” to cause aggro at a Fitba match or violence the streets….its in their make up, NO MATTER what.
Do you ( and others on here)……OBJECT to Celtic supporters REMINDING ourselves and the Huns of ” The SAINT PATRICKS DAY MASSACRE” from the 1980’s ?
If memory serves me correctly, THAT Game ended up as a -2-0 Victory for Celtic against the Huns……hardly ” A MASSACRE” ????
I KNOW that in terms of the final 2-0 score that day…but it STILL doesnt prevent me from reminding myself and any Huns that I knew/know that its called ” The Saint Patricks Day MASSACRE”.
There MUST have been Wars going on somewhere in the World at that time, I do NOT recall ANY Celtic supporter complaining about the term ” MASSACRE” at that particular time ?
I dont know what age you and some others on here are, but IF you are OLD ENOUGH to have remembered THAT Game…I MUST ask….” Did/Do YOU ( and others) EVER OBJECT to the use of the Term ” MASSACRE” ?
HH.
For Gods sake…IF I EVER witness a Celtic game where Celtic end up WINNING 1-0, but the opposition are ALL OVER us for 90 minutes, but The Celts defend for their lives…
I better REFRAIN from using the TERM…” It was like CUSTERS LAST STAND out there ” , in order NOT to upset anyone on here ?

The kind by people who, I feel , have never met any GBers and base their views on snippets from various, perhaps not too reliable, sources.
Have to go out.
Cheerio for now.
Corkcelt, AT et al.
I know there will be trouble after the game. I can vividly remember the hundreds of arrests in previous times.
.
I will be watching the game in McChuills and I can remember huns attacking the pub on a previous occasion.
But talk of going to war normalises this violence. It is unhelpful and irresponsible. It also doesn’t reinforce the belief that we are half of nothing.
It is also the wrong time to talk of war when so many are dying on our continent. War is not a game, it’s horrific with unspeakable atrocities.
Didn’t realise that CQN had so many warmongers. 😳
Guys, we all want the same thing on Sunday, but I feel the GB have taken the huff with the Tifo issue and issued an ill thoughtout statement.
We should be discussing the game and not a fan group statement. But of course the GB will know that.
Again it’s all about opinion and interpretation.
Cheers and HH to all.

Didn`t Custer lose ? :-))))
Hot smoked and Greenpinata.
Thanks for your answers Celts.
HH
Big Jimmy,
I respect your opinion.
But I must tell you Little Bighorn was siouxiside.
What will lend itself to that is allowing the old firm supporters to attend , ban them I say …
Gp 11.22
Of Glasgow? 🤣
HH
Custer lost at the Battle of Little BigHun…
Sorry if that offended some.

Jimmy, the idea of the Green Brigade ‘going to war’ on Easter Sunday or any other day would be laughable if it wasn’t so tragic.
And as for yourself leading the charge singing the Battlecry…..
Well you couldn’t even hand a post from Big Packy……
WatchtheparkingmetersCSC
i need to put on my glasses
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don’t wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don’t wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don’t work
‘Cause the vandals took the handles
