Hibs are above Celtic for good reason

419

The next 19 days sees Celtic in action against Hearts twice, Leipzig twice, Hibs (tomorrow) and Dundee, the latter the only prosaic occasion among them.  How we negotiate this period will go a long way to determine our domestic and European season.

Brendan will almost certainly rest Tom Rogic after his midweek trip to Kuwait but with five days until we face Leipzig, I expect a full strength team for the visit of Neil Lennon’s side.

Hibs are above us in the league for a reason, they have lost only twice this season (once domestically and once in Europe) and have the best goal difference in the league.  They did very well home and away against us last season and Neil will ensure his team have no concerns about visiting Celtic Park this term.

The players know the scale of the challenge ahead, which should bring the best out of them.  A sneaky feeling we might end the weekend top of the league too.

  1. GFTB,

     

    Thanks, I’m sure Leipzig will be good but we need to get a result as well. We were in Heraghty’s last night trying to figure out which meaningful European away match that any of us had been at to see a win. Nobody had managed Anderlecht last season. We came up with a blank.

    My only away trip for my 21st was Ekeren …. loved it

     

     

    Best away win must have been Didier Agathe destroying Ajax in the CL qualifiers??

     

     

    Anyhow have a great trip

  3. On the road again, waiting to leave the Granite City.

     

    Can’t wait to be in Paradise again. Just don’t understand the “Celtic fans” who criticise others for turning up at Celtic Park. The sheer joy of being in the crowd as our team walks out is something that never goes away.

     

    When I arrive at the stadium, it’s all about the team, and the board and Dermot Desmond are totally irrelevant.

     

    It’s all about the team. And the fans that turn up to support them.

  4. Years of cheating and being granted a licence fraudulently and still nothing.

     

     

    We were all told infinite patience produces immediate results.

     

     

    Still waiting.

     

     

    Think if all the poor gullible b**ards that paid for that advert in the newspaper abroad.

     

     

    ??????

  5. Don’t worry lads the staged AGM will soon be upon us and you can ask Peter Lawwell why he said if fans provide him with the evidence/silver bullet he’ll fire it.

     

     

    Still waiting Peter.

     

     

    Why don’t you tell the paying customer the fans the truth why you are not firing that bullet Peter eh ?

  6. When the real reason comes out and believe me it will there will be a lot of anger directed at board level from our fans.

     

     

    Will our board be able to survive this ? Not a chance in hell.

  7. Warming up for Parkrun in Victoria Park to the sound of the Orange walk going through Whiteinch. FFS. Hope it makes me go faster.

  8. Good morning friends. It’s a grey, damp and windy start to the day in ole EK but not enough to dampen my enthusiasm for the day that lies ahead. Really, rally looking forward to taking my place in the North Curve today and singing at the top of my voice – well all of the ‘Celtic’ songs at least*. Weather permitting I might see some of you at The Corner pre-match.

     

     

    MEET ME ON THE CORNER

  9. Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,

     

    Celtic, Celtic on to victory,

     

    They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,

     

    We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league

     

     

    They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,

     

    They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,

     

    From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,

     

    To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.

     

     

    Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,

     

    Celtic, Celtic on to victory,

     

    They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,

     

    We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.

     

     

    There’s Fallon, Young and Gemmell who proudly wear the green,

     

    There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,

     

    Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes,

     

    And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.

     

     

    Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,

     

    Celtic, Celtic on to victory,

     

    They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,

     

    We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.

    When the real reason comes out and believe me it will there will be a lot of anger directed at board level from our fans.

     

    Will our board be able to survive this ? Not a chance in hell.

     

    ———————————————————————————————-

     

    OK HEN1RIK, I’m going to bite. If you have genuine information about the Celtic Board that should be made public to the general Celtic family then spill the beans! If you are in possession of such information and refuse to divulge it to the Celtic support then you are no better than the Board you are castigating.

     

    So what is it? You have genuine information or you think you know the truth?

  11. At long last the real football is back & not before time I think if Celtic get a convincing win today & the fartz get beat then the challenge from the east will fade. Hopefully our Bhoys are raring & ready .If we can go on a winning run get the points on the boards it will be a very Healthy & Happy New Year for the Celtic support

  12. BSR –

     

     

    hocus pocus, withcraft, forecasty-thing! I merely REPORT the weather….

     

     

    Anyway, aff oot for my rolls, then we a wee run, then an en-suite to clean (apparently), then eat the rolls I bought earlier (filled with steak lorne) then it’s doors to automatic and off to the outside corner, and finally to the inside corner. Life’s Good!

  13. Brown for Rogic and Sinclair for Griffiths the probable two changes from St Johnstone game today.

     

     

    The alternative could be a back three of Boyata and our 2 Croats, Jozo and Filip need game time together ahead of the semi, which would allow Rogic to play behind Eddy instead of having Sinclair wide.

     

     

    Either way a tough, tight game against a team who have the players to hurt us (very impressed by Mallan this season, a possible bhoy for the future?)

  14. It’s not often me and the Lord disagree about football. He is a thorough Tim. The last time we had a respectful silence between each other was when Scotland played Israel.

     

     

    However He has guided me towards this song this morning:

     

     

    Don’t worry be happy.

    Like many other Celtic fans/supporters I wish our club called them out for their cheating ways but it’s akso a government thing as well they have flouted every law in the corporate land so it’s not just a Celtic “bored” thing …. and by the way I don’t think they have “got away” with everything they are mince and still to win a major trophy in this incarnation

     

     

    Fairhill Bhoy 9.33am

     

     

    The maestro is our centenary legend don’t let others “mislead” from the facts :-)

    ****Last Man Standing 11 week 4****

     

     

    Good morning all

     

     

    All the picks are !! The 82 remaining LMSers have spoken and our super treble of the week is:

     

     

    Man City, Liverpool and Livingston.

     

     

    For a £10 stake, you can return £26.05. Looks to me a very safe return and would be 3 LMS super trebles in a row,

     

     

    For the more adventurous, Man City, Liverpool and Livingston ( all -1) will return £74.45. That will do me :-)

     

     

    So the picks are:

     

    Liverpool 26

     

    Manchester City 26

     

    Livingston 8

     

    Kilmarnock 6

     

    The Rangers 4

     

    Chelsea 4

     

    Newcastle 3

     

    Hamilton 2

     

    Celtic 1

     

    Dundee 1

     

    Motherwell 1

     

     

    Good luck to all. Remember the safety net has gone, so if you fall this week, you are oot on yer erchie, until LMS12 of course :-)

     

     

    See you all in Week 5 hopefully

    Anyone remember hun trolls like Super Sammy’s Knee? Loads of them back in the day.

     

     

    I suppose we should Ben grateful to KEVJ that we no longer need suffer them.

     

     

    No need for them when he can post shite about Paul McStay as he did at 306am.

     

     

    That’s the gemme,Kev. When yer constant attention-seeking sees you ignored,attack a legend.

     

     

    Tosser.

  20. Been asked by my bhoy to ask on here

     

     

    If anyone is renting or looking for a flat mate in Paris?
