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.

Greenpinata,
I read Auldheids post however I don’t believe the split is evenly divided, I believe those currently in power are a tiny minority as are those who want that tiny minority to remain in control.
See!
CQN – Raised On Songs And Stories.
Magic.

Yeah, must have been something like that, as ref had clear view of the foul. Not going to matter by the look of it.
Canamalar,
I wonder what the split would be on CQN.?
We know what the more vociferous posters would prefer, but what about everybody else.
HH.
Imagine being young Ryan Christie today…
Born a Celtic Bhoy.. Worked your way up through the Professional ranks at your home town club.. Get the call sign but still have to work away at Inverness.. You get the call to relocate to Paradise.. You are injured.. Then eventually you are on the bench- imagine the feeling if he gets the nod to warm up – what a feeling. Living the dream today.. Best of luck Ryan!
Is that ex-army chef Gary Holt in the Norwich dug-out?
Sieve 4 – colander 4
4-4.
Is the ‘E’ for Entertainment?
Some good high-scoring games down there in the past 2 or 3 weeks.
Is that ex-army chef Gary Holt in the Norwich dug-out?
Sure is.

—————
Yep Holt on their bench, a coach now.
Interesting the ex-army chef comment, apparently Holt joins Celtic as a 19 year old, when did he join the army??
As I was saying. . . .4-5.
Some game at Carrow Road
Bucket wi a hole in it 4 – Sieve 5. FT.
Little disappointed at the central pair of Bitton and Johansen.
Both lack the ability to drive us forward.
Stefan runs around a lot and Nir goes sideways.
One of Allan or the injured Rogic should always play there to give us forward movement.
This looks like an unbalanced selection.
Hope coach proves me wrong.
That Norwich defender’s header back into his own box at the end there was the worst bit of defending I’ve seen in years
Remember one night we won 5-4, and we were gutted!
Game mentioned earlier by a poster, I think.
The Huddle
Exactly – horrendous panic header gifted the points
THE_HUDDLE 2:36
I can’t be held responsible for factual accuracy of comments. Got my info from the SMSM in those days. ;)
To the main event. C’mon the Hooooooooops.
No Kris today ~ is he injured?
The huddle,
I think Gary(?) Holt was one of two players signed and possibly even scouted by Lou Macari, from the army
That’s from memory, so it might not be 100% accurate
A very Happy Birthday to HamiltonTim.
I know very few people that will take as much pleasure as yourself as what your celebration will be when Broony lifts the League Cup at the end of the season.
I have lurked mostly on CQN since the early days, and through the years have come to regard HamiltonTim as a mhan who represents everything good in Celtic.
Hail Hail.
C’mon Hoops. Let’s get that nice 6 point cushion back, and, if possible, build on the midweek performance to unnerve any team coming to Paradise in the remaining fixtures.
Hail Hail!
DHARMA BAM
That’s my recollection too. I remember Macari once saying he wished we had 11 Gary Holts ( to make a point about attitude of his team). Can’t remember who the other guy was.
Greenpinata,
Aye, to be fair my opinion is only based on what I think I observed of people’s opinions on the subject and could be completely wrong, wouldn’t be a first.
So here’s an idea, why don’t we have a vote on it ?
Vote here, very simple yes or no answer to
Do you support the idea of Celtic fan ownership of the club

He’s in the CTV studio at half time -)))
Warm reception for the new Bhoy at CP.
70 St johnstone fans here tops.
Yeah I remember the ex Army stuff about Holt at the time, it was used by the MSM to bash Celtic with. The fact Holt was 19 when he signed for us shows how poor that piece of reporting was, but no surprise.
Hunderbirds are Gone and The_Huddle,
I never realised he was only 19, I must have been suckered by the MSM reporting.
At least we have sites like this now.
