St Johnstone have gone five games without a goal – and that includes a home game against Hamilton. They remain in the League Cup, but if they beat Hibs next week, will remarkably have reached the final after only facing lower league opposition. Their only Scottish Cup game against top-flight opponents ended in defeat.
What they can do is defend better than Hamilton, or several others in the league. They kept Celtic to three last month (which these days is an achievement), before keeping a clean sheet against Hearts. Only Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Partick have conceded fewer.
Tomorrow’s game is one Celtic will be confident of winning, but chances will not be as easy coming as they were on Tuesday night.
I get it. The SFA have guidance which suggests New Douglas Park, one of the smallest grounds in Lanarkshire, should be the venue for our Scottish Cup game against East Kilbride. With 6,000 seats it is less than half the size of Fir Park, which is less than 3 miles away. Moving the game to Fir Park would generate a significant amount of much needed money for grassroots football in Scotland.
Think about that……. generate money for grassroots football in Scotland. Do the decent this and move this game to Motherwell. If you want to register for a ticket, do so here.
The more who register, the more reason the SFA have to agree to Fir Park as the venue.
Keep an eye on the game at Pittodrie tonight. I watched 10-man Aberdeen come from behind away to Ross County last week, they were very impressive, but our nearest challengers have developed a blind spot against Dundee.
Three points and a clean sheet tomorrow, please, Celtic.

NA2 – you’ve been around as long as I have here but you have contributed way way more meaningful stuff than I have.
You likely don’t need my advice but my view is that giving people who point at you with a growling index finger a dignified response isn’t worth it.
Some who have a regular go at you don’t deserve the oxygen that replies perhaps alllow them.
I don’t happen to agree with your many of your views on the Celtic board or many of your posted politics but I still read everything you post as otherwise I would miss thoughts and ideas you write that I hadn’t considered.
Awra

Thanks for noticing. I hope the stadium staff pick up that I think it was one of them who did us a turn. There’s no fans left anywhere, except the stairwells, after we clap our players back to the changing rooms.
Happy birthday HT!
Lucky you having your special day on a Saturday .
Enjoy!
TB
Hamiltontim – with the Minx you are blessed, enjoy!
Is CQN now 10 yo? Like a decent malt? I must’ve tuned in quite early….a reccommendation from RioSkorrie drew me in around Oct 2006.
Made my debut in June 2008.
Happy days.

Alex Thomson Exposes The Vile Bigotry And Threats From Rangers Fans

Can’t beat a bit of Stevie!
Travelbhoy you are or course correct
I know that we all know how devious the MSM can be…..here’s the latest example……
Headline (Daily Mail):
“Rangers have no excuse not to win the Championship, says Ronny Deila”
What he is actually quoted as saying in the article:
‘I have answered this question many times and I have said the same – you have to be good enough if you are going to go up and every club now is getting new players in during January,’
‘If it’s Rangers or Hibs or whoever is coming up, then they have to be good enough to get into the top division. That is how I am thinking about it. Right now, both of them are in the Championship.’
Asked if he had a preference to which of the sides came up, Deila replied: ‘I don’t care. I want to have the best teams in the top division.’
In Ronny we trust!
I got married 23 years ago.
There was a video made of the day
My wife gave the video people – I found out ages later – the soundtrack.
Moving Hearts and Caperceillidh were the main players.
My background and football sympathies were polar opposites to her and her family.
It was good to realise in later life that their bigotry didn’t extend to music or much else for that matter!
@St Stivs ..great link at 11.58 mate. You do have a habit of digging oot
some class material.
A while back I even spotted my Grandas brother Mick in one of your old photos..
The St Johns Band…….You do keep it lit Sir .H.H.
@Minx…what a lovely post….. H.T. a lucky man:).

Night all,
For this looking at flights for Dublin, I had a look at Easyjet, Glasgow-Belfast. Looks to be still good deals there.
Messy I know.
Might be worth a look.
HT, Happy Birthday, I root out my shares later and use the link you posted earlier to sign up.
Enjoy the match all,
Sorry to ask but what is the Celtic Trust and what does it stand for??
Seen a lot mentioned about it over the last week or so but dont know what it is?
Hamiltontim
Around this time last week you posted about Minx’s son being stranded in Dundee, put off his bus, no money, no phone credit.
I had a few beers, made light of it what would we do in our time etc. Didn’t realise the wee fella’s age and seriousness of the incident, apologies all round. I hope his e-mails are all sent.
Happy birthday by the way!!! :-)
LurkingTim
Yep, in you’re usual inimitable way it was a really lovely post and I know Minx appreciated it.
For that…..she’s buying! :-)
