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.

You havin a birthday Hamiltontim . Have a great one mate. A win against the saints would make it even better.
Jobo, good luck with the run. No gym for me today..overdid the burpees last night so my lower back is very sore today. My excuse anyway, I did return to the 5k treadmill this week and will be hopefully completing another one tomorrow….boring I know.
Anyway, family duties call, bit of Lidl shopping then off to Paradise. Flying solo today as BinLaw is off on a blender, good for him. Hoping for a fast pacy performance, 4-0 to the good ghuys would be nice.
Hail! Hail!

Hamilton Tim
Happy birthday. Here’s a page from The Prophet for yourself and everyone looking for their truth.
Self-Knowledge
And a man said, “Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.”
And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always know in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.
And it is well you should.
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.
Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.”
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Hoopy Birthday Hamiltontim

You share your birthday with Allan Lane the voice of Mr Ed The Talking Horse!
Thought you might like to know that.
Would really like to see the bhoy Allan get a start today
Hail Hail to all my fellow Celts.
Still buzzin after Tuesday.. win again today with some style and flair, and we silence the critics.
Happy Birthday H T.. see you at the wee man statue later to sign me up.
COYBIG, KTF.
Tierney & Allan for Izaguirre & Rogic should be the only two changes from Tuesday.
Happy birthday from a sunny Santo Domingo to oor ain’ Hamiltontim.
HH
Morning all.
A very happy birthday to Hamilton Tim, a true Celt.
Hope to see another entertaining performance today. Has our manager got us playing the Celtic Way? It is looking that way. Here’s hoping.
Hooooopy Birthday HamiltonTim.
Have a good one mhate, hoping for a nice wee present for you from the Bhoys in green.
SOAL, only 62!
He looks well for that!
Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession
Would you drop Rogic to start him??
I think Allan will be on the bench today but Commons will be back also young Tierney may be back at full back I hope Rogic makes it as he has driven us on superbly in the last couple of matches. H.H.
TBJ-I will email you shortly,thank you. HH
HT all the best mate have a fantastic day
A positive that’s good right?

Starry…,
If Rogic is carrying any sort of injury, yes.
I’d drop Bitton, Commons and Johansen for him any time though
I think if Rigic is fit he will start.
