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.

This is one of the few Friday night’s in Prestonpans anyway. Normally in the static in Aberfoyle and internet is pish.
But reflecting what I said, may do a gig when home on possible Fridays, give a unexpected treat.

That would be amazing
Welcome back Big Jimmy.
Ron ,The power of prayer is a great thing ,IMO ,take care .
Take heart from the experience of Tom McLaughlin & Corkcelt .God Bless.
Think last time, ten questions at five minute interval. A draw has a shot out, that was the contentious part , was funny got it in the neck😱
RONBACARDI

(Like the rich people do).
Cheers

Ange knows his stuff, I know he will be in High demand but you just Hope he is bucking the trend of a 3 or 4 year cycle considered the norm these days (for successful Managers).
Back in and just read the dispiriting news on Ron Bacardi’s cancer returning. You will have even more support than last time from posters on here, including my own feeble efforts.
I trust the stories from the cancer survivors on here will give you strength and comfort.
look forward to your continued posting
RONBACARDI
Just read back, hope all works out
Oh! and welcome back Big Jimmy .
Thank God my threat of an immature, selfish and self-defeating boycott did not produce any results at all and that your release was purely coincidental after all these long weeks.😀
Now- where’s the weans section on CQN?

Meanwhile the banning and reinstatement of Big Jimmy will remain – along with the signings of Boerrigter, Blinker, Kapo and Du Wei – as another of life’s great mysteries.

I can’t recall any specifics about the Guardian Murray’s involvement on matters concerning Resolution 12, but I’m sure they would’ve been slanted against Celtic…the man’s arseholic utterances are well known.
Celtic Mac…I’ve always found Sky’s Murray to be well informed and easy on the ear. Commentators are a bit Marmite-like…for example, I can’t handle the far too excitable Liam McLeod on shortbread nor BT’s Rory Hamilton, whose every commentary sounds as if he’s on hun tv…
Ron,
you are in my thoughts, I’ve just finished chemo and radiotherapy myself snd have a scan later this month to find out how successful the treatment has been
I found so many good people during my time at the Beatson, both staff and patients that helped get me through the tough days
The support on CQN also made me feel I wasn’t going through this on my own,
Take care

An Tearmann,
I’m getting old now, getting older by the second let me tell you, I appreciate the new stuff but it just disnae have that awesomeness of the Time… We know the Time…..
Milton Keynes Helter Skelter was mental when Johnny Barnes Celtic beat Aiberdeen 5-0, Away too.
As KEV I N would say – we had a mad wan. Still tuned in to the new 4-2-2-2 frae John. Best away day was Always Aiberdeen.
Ange has a Relentless group who Will run through a brick wall for the Team.

Ronny Deila was not given the respect by senior players that he should have had.
Ron Bacardi,
So sorry to hear your awful news. You’ve beat this horrible thing before and with your positivity im sure you can do so again .
When you do, what a great time of a hoot.
Best wishes and prayers for the journey ahead.
Good that we can now enjoy Big Jimmys good Caltic
Glaswegian humour again
Blog will be better for it
Big Jimmy,
Welcome back, may the odds be forever in your favour.
You’re coming home you’ve done your time. Now you’ve got to know what is and isn’t trite. I trust you received your letter telling you you’d soon be free. Then you’ll know just what to do if you still want glee.

Welcome back Big Jimmy!
Our gain is Tinder’s loss… 😃
…………………..
Just ONE of many Posts that made me laugh. Thank you Bhoys to ALL the well wishers of my return, although I tend to think that wee KYOGOS return will be somewhat more spectacular than mine ?
LOL
HH and THANKS again to ALL the good Guys on here for their kind Posts. I will gladly buy you all a Beer or Two.
HH.
THE LURKING TIM…
I meant to Post last night that I was so sorry to read about your Mammys illness a few days ago.
May I wish her a full and speedy recovery.
All the best TLT to you and your family.
HH Mate.
RON BACARDI..
You are a Gutsy Guy, as are some others on here who have battled serious illness over the years….I salute you and those others on here.
I wish ALL the Gutsy Good Guys on here who continue their fight against serious illness…. ALL the best to a full recovery.
HH to ALL those Bhoys…and to TLT’s wee Mammy at this time.

………….
SFTB…You are an absolute CAD and a SCOUNDREL….You will fit in well enough with The CALTON CARTEL. Should you wish to join, please forward £2,000 into my bank account, as a ” Sign Up” Fee asap.
LOL Mate.
HH.
I am hoping that ANGE throws wee KYOGO right into the starting X1 for tomorrow, and maybe we can get 60 minutes out of him ?
Big GMAK looked knackered at the end of the Huns game, although I am sure as I can be, that he is also fighting fit and very keen to hang on to a starting place for tomorrow.
Wee KYOGO puts the fear of God into the opposition …..He even scares ME as to how good he can be !
I would FAKE a Pre Match Injury, if my auld managers told me to ” MAN MARK” wee KYOGO….Scary stuff.
LOL
HH
BIG JIMMY- Welcome back
RON BACARDI- Best Wishes, you’ve beaten this before and will do again KTF ;-)
Todays Grand National- Canny see past Delta Work bhoys but Good Luck with all your fancies….
Do any of you bhoys frequent the Blane Valley before games? Dunblane bhoys will be in today from the back of 12, would be nice to put names to faces HH
