Kilmarnock 0-6 Celtic

1028
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

The Scottish Premier League title was secured in emphatic fashion at Kilmarnock this afternoon as The Champions recorded the highest winning margin by any team in the league this season before celebrating an unforgettable league title.

There were sterling performances all over the field for Celtic but it was Charlie Mulgrew who made it his business that there would be no mistakes today.  He scored two and created another two of Celtic’s opening four goals before a late flurry finished the scoring.

The opening goal was a bullet header from Charlie from a Kris Commons corner with less than 7 minutes on the clock.  Mulgrew could have added a second three minutes later when he combined with Commons on the edge of the area before trying to clip the ball past Cammy Bell in the Kilmarnock goal but on this occasion his attempt went wide.

Glenn Loovens made it 0-2 after 15 minutes when a short corner was played across the field to Mulgrew on the right.  Charlier swung in a deep cross to the back of the six yard box for Loovens to of back across goal and into the net.

On 35 minutes Mulgrew cut inside from the left wing and opened space for a delicious right foot shot inside the far post to put Celtic 0-3 ahead and in dreamland.

Moments later Adam Matthews crossed to the dangerous Commons who could have turned and shot but played the ball into the past of Georgios Samaras who drew a magnificent save from Bell.

Seconds before half time Mulgrew sent in a mirror copy of his earlier cross for Loovens but this time Gary Hooper raced onto the ball at the back post to fire into the net and give Celtic a four goal lead at half time.

Commons, who played as a false centre forward for most of the game to great effect, should have earned a penalty on the hour mark when he was barged off the ball when clean thought inside the box but his distinct hooped shirt counted against him.

Kris then played a magnificent pass onto the rampaging Loovens who injured himself in a challenge with Cammy Bell as his shot went narrowly wide.

The second half looked set to end without a goal before a couple of late contributions, the first from Ledley who combined with Stokes before clipping the ball over the goalkeeper.  Gary Hooper then fired an unstoppable shot into the postage stamp corner from 19 yards to complete the rout.

Have a Champion Easter and enjoy your well earned celebrations.

    Get in! Watched the match until 3-0, what a great way to become Champions. Delighted for everyone at Celtic Park today, the crowd were fan-tastic.

     

     

    Have to agree with earlier posters, ESPN’s pre-match coverage was 1st class. Now wonder they’ve made so much money in America if their coverage is that good for other sports, wow!

     

     

    Watching the Masters which is always great TV with a few beers and a nice bottle saved for today.

    Fantastic post.

     

     

    Like you watching the celebrations sparked my own reminiscing. I too thought of my father and his father and how much today would have meant to them.

     

     

    But most of all this one means so much because of Neil Lennon. This one is so personal to him, and I admire him so much for his fortitude. He truly is an inspiration.

     

     

    So, Tims, wherever you are in the world, enjoy and savour this moment.

     

    Today really does feel just the start of something special.

    If you don’t know EdwardUrsus personally, as many of us do, then back off.

     

     

    He was posting on CQN years before many present day CQNers.

    ElDiegoBhoy – Just on the blog after a long day of eating jelly and ice cream in Oxfordshire.

     

     

    If anybody is taunting Edward Ursus, a gentleman among bluenoses, I will fight them. (thumbsup)

    To say nothing of the hand-to-hand fighting on the pitch before the game. How the Reds fans smuggled in wire cutters past the peelers, who had made guys take their socks and shoes off and stand in the mud and take apart transparent Bic pens, I’ll never know

    Don’t be ridiculous!

     

     

    I have met maybe 30 CQN’ers, so until i meet and get to know the rest i cant exercise my right to free speech and disagree with or criticise them?

     

     

    Even if they are your mates!

     

     

    What is the point of the blog then?

     

     

    We don’t all get on with everyone else, or agree with everyone else.

    Be humble in your victories,

     

    Be gracious in your defeats

     

    And you shall not stray far

     

    From that which makes you great,

     

    On a day like today when Celtic

     

    Have won through let there be

     

    In your heart of hearts

     

    No place for lingering hate

     

    For it is hate that eats up a man

     

    And consumes his moments of joy

     

    So live in the day bright Celts

     

    Shine on like crazy diamonds

     

    Born to be here now!!

    An incredible day at Rugby Park today. I`ll never forget it as long as I live, it was a privilege to be there.

     

     

    Extraordinary support and an inspirational performance from the Champions. I wonder if any defender has ever before scored 2 goals and set up another 2 goals in 45 minutes of top flight football. Remarkable stuff from Charlie Mulgrew.

     

     

    Well done to all the players and coaches at Celtic. This season, with all the injuries we`ve had, has truly been a team effort.

     

     

    Glasgow Celtic champions, woooooooooooooooooooooooh

    Hippy happy hoppy hoopy title days bhoys……. And the news just keeps getting better………….”Peter Lawell today confirmed that Celtic were not in competition with European Giants Barcelona for the signature of an outstanding £25 million, 6′ 1″ centre back. This player apparently can play in numerous positions, can play with both feet, has a brilliant dead ball scoring record and his goal assists are second to none. Already under contract to an up and coming Top European side, Lawell laughed as he said, “Pep and I talk on a daily basis and if I’ve told him once I’ve told him a hundred times……Charlie is not up for sale”………………oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…..Glasgow Celtic Champions oh oh oh oh oh oh oho
