Home after perilous away fixtures

217

Kilmarnock come to Celtic Park tomorrow on what is an historical run of form.  One defeat (at Ibrox) in 12 games since early December, which includes their win over Celtic, has elevated Derek McInnes to a regard almost as high as their pies.

As we found to our cost in December, they are a very well organised outfit who know how to defend and who can break forward with purpose, but let’s not overplay the threat, they are not Brazil 1970.  They have only won three league games since defeating Celtic, single goal victories against St Johnstone, St Mirren and Livingston.

They have opened a 10-point gap on better-resourced Hibs and Aberdeen, but it has been an exerting time for maxed-out squad.  McInnes’s experience has elevated them beyond the normal scope of their resources.

After three consecutive away games a return to Celtic Park is welcome.  That run of fixtures had a perilous look to it beforehand, so taking seven from nine points is not a shoddy return.   I expect Adam Idah to start up front with Kyogo sitting behind as he did so effectively in Paisley.

Brendan Rodgers now has options in forward positions, so can confidently change things up if we are not making progress.  We are likely to see four wingers deployed at stages across the game as he figures out who his preferred starting pair is.

  1. Abada I am afraid has shown a complete contempt for Celtic and its supporters …no loyalty whatsoever …and the only person driving him out of Celtic park is his agent …will be very interesting to see where he ends up and the outlook of their supporters 🤔

  2. Abada will have his beliefs from his upbringing, 2 years in Glasgow isn’t changing anything, he will move on in the summer.

  3. Abada …is on the verge of setting a dangerous precedent for clubs and their managers ..contracts can be torn up and agreements mean nothing if you are offended by the actions of the clubs supporters…just refuse to play show petulance and you are out of there !!🤔..,Beware big clubs esp SEVCO

    Paranoid much, the excuses on here for the genocide of 30,000 people is disgusting.

     

     

     

    Chairboy are you mistaking a religion for a race, hence your error?

     

     

    That’s a schoolboy error friend. #DoBetter

  6. G FEARON @ 6:34 PM,

     

     

    If i was an israeli i don’t think I’d be too keen to be showing my face in public either.

     

     

    This is the main reason that the surname switcheroo is so popular among these people.

     

     

    Not seeing my error!?

     

     

    Isreali – Religion or Race?

     

     

    Surname Switcheroo – Because of their Religion or Race?

     

     

    These People – Designation by Religion or Race?

    Perilous away games, to perilous home games.

     

     

    Celtic have been poor since we decided against warm weather training to spend the break at home. We’ll never know, whether it was a good idea or not. Hope the atmosphere at Parkhead is lifted as it’s been muted most of the season.

     

     

    I don’t think we turned any corner of significance in the Cup tie last week, and a big win would be a pleasant surprise, I hope BR will go

  9. I’d say forget about Abada talk. A very young boy in circumstances most of us haven’t experienced. Focus only on the positive now and how we win each and every game. Starting tomorrow, 4-0 😁

    “G FEARON is far from the only racist in our support.”

     

     

     

    Seems you were educated beyond your intellect friend.

     

     

    I sincerely hope that I pointing out this faux pas will not dissuade you from continuing to post on here.

     

     

    After all, laughter is the best medicine.

    Don’t agree with whats going on in Gaza but what the hell was Hamas thinking or was it Iran and Russia .It’s sure a mess and no idea how this will end it wont be pretty.

     

     

    *what I cant understand that the IDF are supposed to be sublime in their protection of their borders and the Mossad the finest secret service out there so how did it all happen, hmmmm

  12. G FEARON…

     

     

    My surname comes from Ulster…

     

     

    My Great Grandad (from Derry) and Grandad had a business in and around the Monklands

     

     

    The “locals” associated the name as Irish.

     

     

    My Grandad changed the spelling and the locals thought it was Scottish.

     

     

    The name is Gealic and it’s anglicised version is of little consequence.

     

     

    Yet it’s the same nonsense as those who say Mc is Irish and Mac is Scottish

     

     

    Just ignorance.

     

     

    Bigots are rarely the smartest

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Quality piece of deflection there Mac. . . . .. . . or was it. . . . .. .

    Since you came trolling on here a short time ago, the smell of someone who thinks they are making clever pointed anti-Celtic stuff while keeping their true identity and allegiance hidden, has been looping out of you.

     

     

    T’Internet is full of sneering fools who think they are winning but you have no friends and no influence on here and will never openly meet any of us. When you scuttle back to whatever Ibrox site you came from, you can present yourself as the clever infiltrator who got away with it. I have no doubt that even on a cesspit Ibrox site, there would be a few bears smart enough to recognise a boastful liar when they hear one.

     

     

    Oh! and let me know when you hear any defence of genocide on here

  17. Celtic very seldom get good publicity from the Rangers supporting media,it’s all negativity for our team,while over at Ibrox they can do no harm,and sad to say it’s ex Celtic supporters and some in the media are the worse.

    Watching the news a few months back a father of one of the young women who were on watch over the strip….told her father that something was going on and he said not to worry the army have it under control……she was murdered then he said much the same as you.

  19. SFTB, HUN + HUN on at the same time? Whodda thunk it?

     

     

    I know it’s hard, but I still feel the only way to stifle such dross is to ignore, not engage. Any attempt to engage is seen as a ‘win’ for them; as I am sure you know not only will you never change their minds through reasoned discussion, they are not on here for such purposes. I understand your skin crawling when/if you read the gross misrepresentations they spew on to these pages, but while they are still posting or allowed to post, NOT reading their bile will be better for you and no reaction to them is at least a slight to their efforts. Only my opinion of course.

     

     

    This is one situation where Paul and/or Mod should check the IP addresses and if they/he is doubling up that address should be banned.

     

     

    Enjoy tomorrow, maybe se you at CQN corner.
