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.

My pick for the day.
Gordon
Lustig – Ambrose – Jozo – Tierney
Bitton – McGregor
GMS – Allan – Armstrong
Griffiths
Allan and Tierney back in assuming Rogic is out from his knock during the week and KT if fully fit again with GMS keeping his place after playing so well against Hamilton.
3-0
Good morning friends and welcome to Matchday from a dry, mild (for January) but slightly breezy East Kilbride.
Not only is it Matchday, it’s Jobo’s return-to-ParkRun_day as I plan my first 5K since 24 October – 25 mins or under would be a pleasant surprise as I continue to try to shed the Festive pounds.
Many hoopy returns to ole Hamiltontim.

Is the HT CT sign up blogathon done yet on here?
Oh! And they have no end game, no agenda, we are open to all who want to sign up, but would pre fair it if you where a share holder, as I keep saying I come here for things Celtic, others have agendas IMO, in my opinion this blog has been taken over by CT canvassers, same as they think it’s been taken over by people who are happy with all things Celtic.
It is they’r right to canvas here as it should be, it’s also my right to speak against them, do yourself a favour, don’t get took in here, all they want are your shares, it’s political and causes divide IMO I only speak for myself and my looking into them at what they are and my experience with them, it’s every ones choice on what you think of them, and what your opinion of them is, I wish them no harm as they are doing what they think is right, and that’s there prerogative, I just hope more walk past there tables today, than stop at them.
And as I’v said its just MY OPINION HH.
Happy Birthday Hamilton Tim. A good victory always enhances a birthday:)
HT

My Da loved Celtic.
HT, have a good birthday

Lovely post from Minx last night letting the cat out of the bag.
Many happy returns to HT.
Hoping for a continuation of Tuesday nights confidence and pace today against St J.
HH to all and be nice to one another.
It costs nothing.
I see the loaf’s main target has gone to Leeds …… seems a no-brainer when you consider the merits / quality of both teams ……. Hahahahahahaha …..Messi will be relieved that there is still a chance he will realise his dream….
Breithla Shona HT.
Hope it’s a great one.
Go on the Hoooops
The Little Mermaid is alive and well I see.

Hamilton Tim have a good day Chris, why not round it off and have a cheeky wee fiver on 5-0!! H H to you both. Hebcelt
Burghbhoy
May the memories of your Da keep you warm and hopefully by the way that the team play prove his decision to bring you up a Tic supporter to have been the right one. Let’s face it should they get stuffed it will still have been the right one.
Keep er lit fhriend
One quick post before I leave for the game.
Tuesday night`s crowd , for various reasons, possibly had fewer negative fans than the `big` games pull in. The atmosphere from the very beginning ie not negative, MIGHT have made a difference to players` confidence. After the Dons victory, I expect a biggish crowd today. I hope we give off positive vibes ( man!),
Cheerio,
JJ
Morning Bhoys and a happy Birthday to Hamilton Tim another year older and deeper in debt. H.H. :- )
