There is a theory that overwhelmingly dominant teams devalue competition as others invariably play for the runners’ up spot. It is not true. The double treble winners have given the League Cup a value sponsor’s Ladbrokes could scarcely have hoped for. Being the next trophy Celtic can win or lose, Scotland’s second cup competition is more valuable than at any time I remember.
When Celtic are eventually eliminated from a cup competition, there will be celebrations across the land, as the rest realise one of them will win a trophy. The only experience Celtic fans have like this in living memory is the Scottish Cup wins in 1995 and 1965, the importance of which are still discussed and cherished.
The heightened importance of the League Cup is not limited to fans of other teams, it is more important to Celtic fans than at any time since the 1997 final. For so long, winning trebles seemed impossible, even to dominant Celtic teams, but now we’ve done it twice, we want to do it again. We want this League Cup.
Being six points adrift from Hearts in the league is far from satisfactory, but tomorrow’s League Cup game at St Johnstone is more important than Saturday’s league game at home to Aberdeen. We need to be ready for it.
On Sunday, two groups of Celtic fans will run through the city for the Great Scottish Run, wearing green Celtic FC Foundation tshirts. The blisters and cramp that got us there will be a distant memory.
There is nothing quite like running through the packed streets of Glasgow with that big logo on your chest, it engages people like nothing else. It is an opportunity to represent something bigger than any of us.
The work of the Foundation is invaluable to some of the most deprived and needy in Scotland, Ireland, England and throughout the world. It is an important part of our Celtic lives. If you can donate to support the work, please do so here.
Thank you.

Canamalar now now that is a very hard decisicion that takes plenty of planning.
I was talking about junior and some senior footy.

Anyroadup,
Bawbaws time.
Treble squared is my preferred target?
Like the look of the left winger with the hibees, good feet and good crossing… hard across the six yard box.?
KT had played more minutes of football than any other pro in the world at around the 2/3ds mark of the seaon. He was on schedule for close to 70 games.

Shocking
David66 and Canamalar
Do you both realise you went to the same school. McCauley and Inglis were my fitba coaches. They just said “Garry, you are centre midfield. Destroy the opponent fae word go and let him know that Saint Tams run the show.” ?

That Shinnie gets away with murder.
Should be off !
Aberdeen captain not allowed to be sent off
Oh dear! There’s the United job if you fancy it Brendan?
I wonder what game he would miss
DD I did not know Canamalar was a St Tams Bhoy.
Do i know him ? Or is he is old as you???

Would Shinnie have been suspended on Saturday?
Billy bhoy
I think Zidane will be at Old Trafford shortly.
2 penalties each and it’s Aberdeen in the driving seat, leading 2 – 1
David66
As auld as me and aulder again.
Good Partick Bhoy.
YNWA
Niall McGinn misses…..
Whittaker equalises for Hibs despite the goalie getting a hand to it. 2 – 2 after 3 penalties each.
DD. ? good night all
D :)
3 – 3 now and effectively it’s sudden death. Mon the Hibs…
Aberdeen’s Stevie May scores. Hibs need to score…..Martin Boyle….
…..scores. 4 all.
Aberdeen………………….score
Again, pressure on Hibs and it’s Olly Shaw who…………
……..scores. 5 all
Scott McKenna scores for Aberdeen to make it 6 – 5. Will Hibs equalise again?………
………nooooooooo…..off the bar. Aberdeen into the semi finals.
Would rather face bottle merchant than anyone else???
I managed 8 in a row there. A sign I tell ye…
Sleep tight and play nice.
secco v sheep in semis
Only repeating what I vaguely remember reading here or an equally reliable site…. if a player is sent off for violent conduct, he misses the next game in any competition. If it is a professional foul or two yellows, it’s the next game in the same competition.
MIT-absolute stick on,unless super salary has had enough of talking shite for a living ??
sicco v sheep
lol
HH
Hibs robbed!
I see Chris Davies was there. Mallin and Kamberi will probably be our next two signings.
