Yes, I know, you could have put money on Bobby Madden turning in a performance like that, no doubt someone did. Still, Celtic teams for generations have had to overcome odds determined by the men in black, even without the unpunished brutality on show, Celtic were second best.
Newco applied a soft press, allowing our central defenders time on the ball but tightly competing for space in the middle of the park. McGregor, Hatate and Rogic were swamped in the middle of the park, and when the ball reached either Taylor or Juranovic, they were seldom presented with even one good forward option.
As a consequence, Celtic repeatedly lost possession inside their own half, inviting wave after wave of attack. Change was necessary and when it arrived 10 minutes after halftime. Kyogo and Matt O’Riley replaced Liel Abada and Tom Rogic, Celtic enjoyed their best spell of the match for the next 20 minutes.
O’Riley in particular caused Newco problems and within 10 minutes Greg Taylor gave Celtic the lead. Cameron Carter-Vickers soon has a great chance to double the advantage but hit the crossbar with a shot in front of goal.
Newco responded on 75 minutes by replacing Aribo and Jack with Davis and Arfield. The latter levelled the score three minutes later and Newco were never again under sustained pressure. The winning goal in extra time was narrowly offside.
Those of us in the stadium were unaware of this, so left the ground with a sense that Celtic failed to match their opponents tactically, while bizarrely lacking energy against a team who had played extra time three days earlier.
Two weeks ago Celtic were packed the midfield tighter at Ibrox and were able to find options when passing out of defence. When we took the game to Newco the lack of precision and coordinated movement neutered what had previously worked well.
Credit where due to van Bronkhurst. He outmanoeuvred a good coach yesterday. Nothing was done to change an ineffective midfield until 55 minutes and there was no response after Newco took control after their double substitution.
Celtic were kicked off the park, literally on one occasion. It was not until Anthony Ralston came on that we saw a robust response. The game is not always about the pretty stuff, some of the greatest Celtic teams had granite hard geniuses.

Canamalar.
Evidence of being a racist.
1.personal experience of him and his divide and divide
2.his use of racism up to and post brexit.
3.His being rejected from labour party.it was his racism.links to that were around his lawyers have been busy
4.his use of sectarianism to weaponize any agenda he serves,
5.where he runs you will see racism raise its head
Thatcher owns his soul.individual socialism for the failed individual,thats George.
He is f… all to do with the left.
I wish him nothing but error and unelectability.
You won’t be getting any links Canamalar but a pint in the Dolphin next time your over you will get along with an explanation.
Hope all good out your way.

While Maloney obviously hasn’t done well, sacking a new manager after 4 months seems more of a reflection on the state of Hibs than it does on Shaun’s ability.
new article posted.
Cana @ 11.09
The more you post the more your blog name becomes credible.
You need to move on from the University of YouTube to real life.
Ukraine is a very complex story that needed telling.
However VP threw the first punch and the story is now a lot simpler.
2014 is a huge issue — so what was VP doing for the 8 intervening years?
He had a story to tell and he couldn’t be ersed.
Your laundry list of conflicts collapses your argument on top of you.
Yugoslavia — how many Easter 16 moments did the various entities that made up the country / supra national state / federation have as it collapsed into a complex civil war?
Hyper nationalism caused the various conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.
But Croatia is now free to make its own mistakes — you hint that this is good thing.
Kosovo is the worrying element — border changes imposed by others.
Afghanistan — what invasion are you talking about?
There have been quite a few over the years?
Iraq — SM had to go for his widespread use of chemical weapons alone never mind the other stuff.
If AH had only persecuted Germans and he had promised to close the gas chambers — would that have been enough?
Libya — Total clustershambles caused by the greed of the West.
DC and the Tories caused an absolute tragedy.
Syria — Very uncivil civil war.
Yemen — Civil war that has developed into a proxy war between SA and Iran.
Issue has been bubbling away in different forms for decades.
The world is more complex that you can understand at the moment.
Well here we go again a ex Celtic player who gets the sack at Hibs ,some on here can’t wait to put the boot in,one even suggested after the way his team played against us ,he has no sympathy,he this supporter the way I read into his statement he wanted Shaun’s team to lie down to us ,some have short memories (when it suits them on here)
GFTB
Hi Gerry,don’t oxygenate them on my behalf.
Ernie and the abbreviated imbecile know what they are not,alas due to a million Iraqis dead and bailing out of bankers,any resemblance of being for the poor weak and needy,ie trust with them got blown out on back of a trident missile! The bank bail is a political and ideological stake thro their fakery.now we have keev!

An Tearmann,
It was links rather than hearsay I was asking for, I suppose a few in the Dolphin will help, my own dealings with him are a lot different from yours so your portrayal way off IMO.
On your point 1, i look forward to hearing your account.
On point 2. his argument which i agreed with and today provides all the proof you need he was right was that, the EU’s unelected commission is too powerful and does not work for the people of Europe. Thencommission now dicates foreign policy to the parliamant.
On your point 3. From the guardian at the time (not long after he destroyed the US congressional hearing.
The charges faced by Mr Galloway were that:
· he incited Arabs to fight British troops
· he incited British troops to defy orders
· he incited Plymouth voters to reject Labour MPs,
· he threatened to stand against Labour
· he backed an anti-war candidate in Preston.
On your point 4. I will definately need evidence of that.
And finally on your point 5. Racism raises its head because his opposition have spent so long assisting the empire in his punishment for his anti-war and anti-imperialism and the impudence of his destruction of US congress trying to smear him with lies about being paid by Hussain and taking money from charities, all of which were debunked, he provided all the details and data requested, all independent investigations turned up blank, if the full resources of the empire failed to find evidence then the next option is/was to attack from another angle, obviously racism is was the next strategy, too many short memories failed to connect the strategy as a continuation of the attempts to discredit him. So far I have seen nothing of consequence to change my opinion however if I do, I will.
Apart from your own impression not sure where you get your info, i do know the SNP went to considerebla lengths to smear him because he does not trust Scotland to serve the whole population of Scotland. If there was racism everyone would known the offences exaclty, it would have been leaked. And provenance would never have been a issue.
MM,
I answered your first question before and you ignored the answer because it it is not supported by your propaganda, VP initiated and supported the Minsk agreement, consistently and persistently demanded it be honored, all of the signatories failed implement, while civilians were bombed and murdered.
He deliberately witheld recognition of Lugansk and Donetsk declerations of autonomy after they voted for it in 2014, in the hope that Ukraine would implement the Minsk agreement. After 8 years and the increased shelling by Kiev over the last few weeks before the invasion, he decided enough was enough it was time to support the ethnic Russians of Donbass. Thems the facts.
Yougoslavia, remind us all when the UN voted it was ok to carpet bomb Belgrade?
Kosovo remind us all of the referendum for independence?
Afghanistan, I’m pretty sure you know which one I am talking about but since you are playing dumb I’ll oblige the last 20 years and $2trillion spent on what exacly, also you can remind us all on the UN resolution that directed NATO to invade?
Iraq, remind us all on the UN approval for the 2003 invasion?
Lybia, strangely enough there was a UN resolution for a no fly zone but as you admit a travesty.
Syria was not a civil war, https://www.voltairenet.org/article178963.html you can look for the interview video yourself if you interested in the truth. And you can provide us all with the UN approval for the invasion and NATO bombing of Syria, opinions do not matter here the UN are there for a reason, diminished by NATO as it might be.
Yemen still has British and US military armaments and boots on the ground, they are baw deep in this. Both have are military bases in Yemen do you think they are neutral or offering to protect civilians?
Yet all the invasions identified above are/were illegal, no ambiguity, illegal, I do not trust a word from the perpetrators of those illegal invasions and am still a bit surpried that many on here continue to swallow their propaganda to justify a resurgence of nazi power in Europe. Potentially dragging the world into a nuclear war, the only people who suffer are civilians on both sides. i am bemused as to how Russia is currently being blamed for the price hikes in fuels. I really don’t get how illegal sanctions are Russia’s fault.
Meanwhile, Europe will spend billions on armaments to donate (sell) to Ukraine and leave their own populations to cope with inflation they caused by their leaders hypocricy and malfeasance.
Cana @ 1.32
20% of the time you make good points.
30% of the time you make interesting points.
50% of the time you regurgitate utter tripe.
No matter the machinations in Ukraine over the past 16 years you need to face up to the reality that VP / Russia has invaded the country and the death and destruction is on him.
The ship at the bottom of the Black Sea is Russian.
The scrap armour at the side of the road is Russian.
The unmarked graves / bodies in the street are in formerly Russian held territory.
The Ukrainians will have their own sins to answer for but at the moment the killing and dying is because of VP and his invasion.
The implosion of Yugoslavia — you are just pushing excuses.
The last time Belgrade was carpet bombed was in WW2.
The bombing of Serbia was in retaliation for the persecutions of the local Kosovan population that did not want to be part of Serbia — messy situation that was turning into a charnal house.
First Serbians harassed / killed Kosovans.
Then Kosovans harassed / killed Serbians and Kosovans who took the soup.
Not nice at any level
The Bosnians didn’t shoot themselves in Srebrenica.
Was this all the fault of the west?
NATO in Afghanistan — not the full story as well you know.
Syria is a civil war with outside involvement.
Just like the Germany / the Kaiser encouraged the Burton’s commandos to storm the Post Office so SA and the UAE encouraged yahoos to fight Assad.
Yemen — you don’t understand the situation. If you were old enough you would have been surprised — no shocked — when North and South Yemen merged. Now it is back to the normal of 70 and 50 years ago and they are fighting tooth and nail with the help of local powers who are carrying out a proxy war on someone else’s territory.
The problems in Yemen can be laid fully at the door of SA.
Canamalar thanks for reply.
George is now unelectable.
In Scotland since indy vote
And the rest of UK moe recently
George is about George.no one else
The only movement behind George now
Is his morning log!
He does use sectarianism and racism
-Batley and spen- the Muslim voters seen thro his kashmir rhetoric
-His misogynistic sectarian and racist behaviour was epitomised in his treatment of Naz Shah who beat him in Bradford-he only went and accused her of lying about her sexually abusive marriage when she was 15
-when he says to an snp(pakistani origin) I am more a Celt than you?-whats he using-Celtic? He does not even support them;or is he contrasting his western upbringing with someone of Asian origin? Who tf knows!
His time in front of the senate is gone? History
And by…. has he milked it.
Maybe thats why he was comfortable voting Tory
Rubicon crossed there.You don’t do that under any circumstances if you have any credit or integrity
Do you know any socialist who votes Tory as he did in dumfries recently
I have no doubt the forces of capitalism will come after him,George speaks for George,he like the party he left and was rejected on rejoining is riddled with Thatchers individualism.thats why in Batley he was hoping the Labour Party would get a bloody nose
I have no doubt the Israelis will come after him,to smear due to Palestine,
I guess the snp(and labour) want to smear him.
I wouldn’t know I have never voted for either
The hard of thinking on the blog find that difficult to grasp.i don’t think you will :-)
George does nothing but smear,he will get it back.
He has no policy to follow.
In 2014 He is on record as saying you’d be off yir head to leave europe….Next thing…well we know,yawn he backs English nationalism/ brexit,sharing platforms with forage and vociferous in defence of his union,(he just tuped over his pro-union rhetoric)
George personifies the very populism he now calls woke.Thats why the last I looked his moats came from a cupboard in his house!as it looks as tho his income may be curtailed and he was out wi the begging bowl.
Long may it be empty.
You keep well out there,am scunnered as my orig post I deleted by accident so had to quickly try redo post.and I loathe posting of the prick.
I will stick to my point mate.

MM,
you seriously just make shit up and lie, are you a tory MP?
Good morning CQN
There has never been a better pre-match routine in the history of warm-ups, the skill level on display is otherworldly
Next Saturday morning I hobble onto a 5 a side pitch in my mind I will be doing the Maradona sadly the only resemblance will be we both wear Puma

Antearman always climbing mountains my friend, some mountains as best left alone
ye shall know a man by the company he keeps, alliance 4 unity was a horrible wee rump of right-wing fascist tory bigots……5 minutes into researching these people will turn your stomach
aff oot
An Tearmann,
Are you talking about this Naz Shah
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/apr/09/george-galloway-naz-shah-forced-marriage-nikah-bradford-hustings
From what I’ve read he done background checks on an opponent who was making claims which are still not substantiated, accepted by many yes but not substantiated. The law suit never happened did it?
Then she does this,
https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/844850/Naz-Shah-Jeremy-Corbyn-Rotherham-tweet-sex-victims-shut-mouths-diversity
How does someone who made such claims support this, and no I don’t believe it was a mistake, there was no ambiguity in the tweet.
Going on her performance especially on this, I’m inclined to have my doubts about anything she says, strikes me as an unreliable opportunist. Her claims did not surface until after she was selected to run for office. All this episode really demonstrated was the collusion between Torys and Labour to get rid of a threat, is that similar to the rubicon that should not be crossed?
I suspect you have been led up the garden path to the conclusion set out for you, like too many.
What you believe about GG is summed up by this, I’m not a fan of neo-liberal politics or the established labour party adherance to CIA and Isreali conformity.
https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2021/06/george-galloway-s-disgraceful-record-shows-he-no-friend-progressives
You talk about having no doubt the capitalistas and Israeili’s will come after him but do not appear to accept they have been coming after him since his ridiculing the senate hearing in 2006.
You keep referring to Batley as if you support Stramer the Israeli asset, that killed off the last vestages of socialism in the labour party.
I really think you have blinded yourself to the truth about what has been happening in the UK over the last 40 years and I mean the whole of the UK not just England. To believe anything will change for the better with independence I think is delusional, in fact independence will seal Scotlands fate as just another US aircraft carrier, if the latest rigid adherance to the western propaganda about the Ukraine is a guide then people should be afraid. Freedom of speech is a thing of the past and when regions are broken down it is easier to isolate and control the information made available to them, the propagande and control becomes a dawdell. It is a well known US strategy.
However, on a happier note, I have been looking to make an investment in property in the Shetlands and when they opt for independence from Scotland I will be voting in favour of that. Do you think Scotland will become like spain and Ukraine and send the army to quell the democratic independence movement?
Nae worries Canamalar,ta for reply
I have not been led up no garden path,wish I never knew the racist prick at all
We could cut and paste each other to death,my mind won’t change.
A few things
-he voted Tory.no assessment of that rubicon.
I don’t think Naz done that,wow she retweeted a parody account,could be interpreted as wrong but she did not and has never to my knowledge voted tory,or is it acceptable to vote Tory?
Unreliable opprtunist-thats wee george
-Israel was on his case long before 2006.
– The forces of capitalism have since post ww2 caused trouble when profits are not allowed to be repatriated back to US,globally.there is a strong correlation with that and trouble around the planet.Chomsky covers it in vol 1 and 2 of political economy of Human Rights.
-Ta for the view on independence.
-freedom of speech is isolated and broken down,its not only US policy,its the Russians today,in any aggressor.its common.
-Stammer finished socialism.disagree.it ended on 2 fronts.Domestically- Blair wrecked it from the inside,aligning with Thatchers econ policy,no repeal of union legislation,liberalisation of markets continued unabated,leading to a socialist gov bailing out capital.
In 2008.Marketing exercise complete,individualism over the greater community.here lies a once socialist party
Internationally- it went on a cruise missile!
Interesting your chat of Shetland,shows there is a fine unionist brain in their Canamalar😊,I say this as its coming up is meant to be serious.its not.i take the divide and rule applied last century to Ireland is getting tuped over to Scotland is the implication here,as my smiley suggests cute unionism,:-)
To windy for me is Shetlands
A wee house down the Glenelg Rd from ratagan would do me fine
But if you want bombed I will try and arrange it lol
