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. “Bobby, I’d suggest you have no clue about what’s going through Liel Abada’s mind.”

     

     

    And that’s what I said…” we fans can only speculate as to what are the thoughts of Liel Abada.”

     

    I see no contradiction in my posts…

  2. BBC, STV , RECORD, SUN, etc Al should have been hunted years ago from celtic park . our club our fans get abused by these people at every turn . Why don’t we have a spokesman to deal with these people. Dont let them near any of our players , only allow them access to a capable club spokesman one who knows a loaded question or better still ban the lot of them . And just when I’m on , gas anyone at our club asked the question about the cheating mib on Wednesday night ,let it go unchallenged and it will continue because they must win this league

    Hi AT, just wanted to apologise for my rant last week. Was uncalled for and out of character. I know it probably didn’t bother you, but it bothered me and just wanted to say.

     

     

    We are all Celtic supporters after all and things should never get out of hand on a site that’s designed for us to all give our opinions on the games, the team, the state of the club etc. Shouldn’t be used to bring each other down.

     

     

    I read the site almost every day and can see you’re well liked and well known by many good Tims, which made my rant even more embarrassing (I was pished, which is no excuse).

     

     

    As you’ve heard a load of times, I’m posting less and less 😂👍 but will still read the site most days.

     

     

    Here’s to winning this corrupt league with an incompetent board.

     

     

    In Brendan we trust!

     

    Mon the hoops! 🇮🇪 ⚽️ 🏆

  8. Kevvy the less confident,

    Remember grifter lover

     

    No unionist is or ever was a rebel.

     

    Refugees are welcome.always

     

    Love

  9. Melvin Udall.

    Thanks buddy.

     

    Appreciated. 😃👍🇮🇪🏆⚽️

  11. I only want to say that the Mexican Christeros who fought for 3 years, in the 1920’s never heard of it have you? against their openly acknowleged Free Masonic Government, used ” Viva Christo Rey’ As their motto, for you well read Tims it means “Long live Christ the King” we used to hear it in the chapel before the masonic Popes (like Frankie Boy)

     

    I am a govan boy born and bred and if someone called me a liar, he had better be able to handle himself.

     

     

     

    viva christo rey

  12. Good Morning Celts – Grand Day To Be A Tim,

     

     

    Noticed no interim results this week.

     

     

    Maybe announcing a bumper year would not have gone down too well with those who were none too pleased with the PLC Board’s activities, or lack there off.

     

     

    We’re away next week, so maybe an announcement then.

     

     

    Talking of home games…

     

     

    Celtic 3 – 0 Kilmarnock

    Hail Hail

  13. As I begin my routine on a Celticfc Saturday, this, by Chritorey made me smile:

     

     

    “I am a govan boy born and bred and if someone called me a liar, he had better be able to handle himself.”

     

     

    I tend to think of CQN posters as being in the older age group. In Christorey`s case, I must be wrong :-))

  14. lets all do the huddle on

    I am a govan boy born and bred and if someone called me a liar, he had better be able to handle himself.

     

     

     

    if all else fails then play the ‘plastic hardman’ card.

     

     

    zzzzzzzzzz

  15. Majestic Hartson on

    Here’s hoping for a win by at least a couple of goals and we keep a clean sheet.

     

     

    I’ll take a 2-0

  16. The hand of God on

    Unfortunately it looks like Liel Abada is collateral damage of world events and how many Celtic fans view them.Its a shame it has come to this and Celtic look like losing a very good player and probably a large chunk of his transfer value but that’s the way it is.The fans have always backed Liel but the vast majority don’t back the actions of his country so if he can’t accept that and is coming under pressure from home maybe it’s best for all that he leaves.

  17. If he goes he goes on terms acceptable to Celtic not on his terms, the vast majority of people in this country are not anti Jewish to say or portray them as being so is completely false, protests for Palestinians and an end to the human sufferings in gaza are just that done out of compassion for the defenceless.

  18. I am quite confident of a good result today ( about 4-0) but it is worrying me that I am not worrying enough about the outcome!

     

    Not always easy being a Celtic supporter, is it? :-))

  19. The hand of God on

    Huge game for Celtic today against a difficult opponent, hopefully we can score a couple of early goals and enjoy a relaxing Celtic victory.

  20. can’t seem to go to previous page ……embdy else having this prob. Is the blog broke, who broke it, i want to know who are these people?

    I just went to the previous page without a problem.

  22. Right, time for me to depart a dull but dry Arbroath to make my way to Paradise where I hope to see things well done.

     

    Cheerio for now.

  23. Majestic Hartson on

    Hand of God,

     

     

    Morning mate. A day off today?

     

     

    Agreed re Abada. Its an unusual situation – I can’t think of anything similar.

    To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.

  25. Alexei Navalny, what can the west do about his murder.

     

    For a start, do not allow one single Russian into the west, ban them all. Use the £300 billion quarantined and give it to Ukraine, easy.

     

     

    They named a place in Glasgow after Nelson Mandela, I’ d love to see them do the same for Alexei Navalny.

     

    I think the poor normal Russians will have had enough and take to the streets big time, another revolution maybe !!!
