Job done, we have had a week of celebration and back slapping. Meanwhile, in Perth, a squad are playing for their livelihoods, playing to make mortgage payments and ensure they have a wage come July.
St Johnstone may be second bottom of the league, but their last defeat was four games ago, narrowly to Newco, they have beaten Hearts, and taken draws at Pittodrie and Easter Road in the last two months. The gap to St Mirren and safety has narrowed to six points; tomorrow we face a side with momentum.
One of football’s endearing lessons to me arrived in April 2005. We went to Ibrox and won 1-2, the mood was similar to what it is right now, as we thought we had done the difficult work. A home game against Tony Mowbray’s Hibs was up next.
There were all sorts of rumours of what went wrong that day, but the upshot is that a poor Hibs side left Glasgow with a 1-3 win. Celtic lost the title by a a single point three weeks later. No one saw that outcome after the win at Ibrox.
If you think tomorrow is all about celebrating what happened on Sunday, let me dissuade you. If we beat St Johnstone, we will have to show even greater appetite than we know they will have. For this one, history is our team talk.
I’ve been out this morning and not had a chance to catch up with Dermot Desmond’s subtle musings. Maybe next week.

Big Jimmy.
Great to see you back posting.
The blog was a poorer place without you. .
Of course as I was standing behind you with 2 pints and wondering do I pour these over said chump…..then common sense came to me 2 pints of lovely cold, refreshing, amber nectar and my thirst won.
D :)
D66, one of those pints were mine, you reckless dumpling. 😡
D66…the old can i neck these 2 pints…then smash him quandry ;-))
H.H.
BRRB – I would never sacrifice 2 lovely, beautiful cold pints, never. Especially if 1 was for you mucker.
D :)

D66, at the time you had me worried. I can still see the look on yer coupon. 🤣🤣
Big Jimmy: Great to see you back.
Big JImmy
Great to see you back big fhella .hh
Haw Brian, what a day yesterday. Like the Mighty Glasgow Celtic- wonderful. 👍
God only knows why Sky Sports think Ewan Murray is the go to guy for an event like the US Masters.
The man has all the personality of a cardboard box. The Guardian think he can write about football. They’re wrong. The BBC on the other hand has Eilidh Barbour….
TLT – Well maybe
D :)

Could not agree more, Celtic minded people at their best.
I was so happy that my bhoy Martin was their to experience it.
Mind he resides in Shawlands, you could educate him the ways of The ‘tic and keep in the downfalls of the ‘red biddy’
The wee rascal went out Phillys later on to tell his pals just what he had experienced earlier :)

Brian

Thanks for Anges presser link.
We are in good hands.
2 years ago just before Covid I let you all know that I had finished a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for prostate cancer and received many best wishes from the CQN community at that time. Unfortunately the cancer has started to spread and I am back on chemo.
Wish me luck again.
Ron – Sorry to hear that.
Best of luck.
You will be in my prayers tonight.
God bless
D :)
RON BACARDI
Horrible news mate,’you’ve done it before and you’ll do it again’.
Best wishes ,God bless.
Ron Bacardi
Always remember Y.N.W.A.
Wishing you all you need for the fight ahead.
Ron
Terrible news – you’ll be in my prayers.
RON BACARDI
Terrible news!
Prayers said for your recovery.
God bless.
Ron….that is a helluva thing…I wish you nothing but positivity.if u want YNWA
I hope you are well Big Jimmy, I do like your style. :)
Looking forward to the morra, get those Precious 3 points and then turn attention to Annihilating the Hun @ Hampdump….. Got a ticket on Tuesday after being dejected not getting wan initially.
First time me and the wee man will be @ a Sevco Hampden game Together, although not sitting beside each other.

Ron, all the best young fella.
Ron B 9.08pm
Take care … and all the best, if some posts gave you encouragement before hope these do the same
Hail Hail
Ron,
That is awful news, I most certainly will remember you in my prayers tonight.
If its even the slightest comfort, a pal of mine here in Clonmel had the very same experience, the chemo worked again the second time, he has a regular check up and he is currently four years cancer free,
Ron Bacardi,
Sorry to read that, the very best wishes and keep fighting. My Dad was given last October at best as he was put on Immunotherapy and he is still fighting although doing the craziests things ever.
God Bless Ron.
