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. In ither news…………

     

     

     

    In a bitter and un-contolled outburst a hunned-up nugget has blasted suggestions, with an ill-tempered, ill- thought out rant, pouring scorn on the idea that he may have issues around his temperament.

  2. Listening to Absolute Radio as I get ready to leave for Paradise. DJ Sarah Champion has just given a shout out to Padraig, Sean South and Garry Owen, travelling to Celtic Park today. Haha class.

    Our last day here in this wonderful but crazy borough/city

     

    Our flight is not until 10pm, so Jack Dempseys for the Manhattan csc and to watch the game for us.

     

    Wife no happy as we will have to check out at 9.30am to go and watch the game, instead of the 12pm check out.

     

    For all going to the game stay safe with the Orange/Zombies out in force.

     

    Bring back 3 points, this will be another test today for our bhoys.

     

     

    Hail Hail…… Next stop the good and the bad—- the Garngad.

    Main thing is we hopefully get 3pts today but “if” Aberdeen get a wee victory Huney Gees Sevs will be in the bottom 6 with Huney never having won a domestic away game in his whole managerial career :-)
