Kilmarnock don’t enjoy Celtic Park

575

Kilmarnock don’t enjoy visits to Celtic Park, winning only once there since 1955, but seldom have they been on the receiving end of such a humiliating result from such a young and inexperienced Celtic team. You and I have seen these games – especially in the League Cup – go wrong so many times in recent seasons: Morton, Falkirk and Partick, to name just three.

What we have at the club now is energy and purpose that makes even our experiments seem potent. Brendan Rodgers must have been delighted at what he got from his players.

For some, like Leigh Griffiths, it was another hour nearer full fitness. These minutes are crucial in preparation for the almighty test of the season against Astana at Celtic Park one week from today.

Really pleased Roy Aitken will be around Celtic Park more often in future in his new role as Club Ambassador.  Roy was a huge figure at Celtic in the 70s and 80s, but there’s at least one generation since who know little about him.

    To be fair, I read a lot of comments from disgusted sheep fans when that one was brought out.

     

    Maybe Stewart Milne sees it as a kind of “moving on” gesture…?

    Scott Allan wouldn’t get into our second XI

    If you noticed Soal’s pics from Ireland there will be no need for a court jester

  8. I’m not really bothered about the scores from the lower teams playing tonight, with the obvious exception of Aberdeen who, along with Hibs (who played last night), are potentially our biggest challengers this season.

     

     

    I’m more interested in the Shortbread coverage and the performance of the commentators and their command of the English language. I’m trying to keep an open mind on the BBC Scotland selection criteria but would think that the ability to communicate verbally would be high on the agenda.

     

     

    Obviously I’m excluding Derek Ferguson. That would be a one horse race given that he struggles with basic English.

     

     

    My favourite so far is from John Rankin – “They haven’t dominated, predominately”. No idea who he was referring to but who cares.

  12. Guys

     

    Please stop trying to predict the QF draw.

     

     

    You’re just wasting your time. Unless, of course, you’ve had one in the fridge all day and just taken another one out of the microwave.

    The ‘most dangerously funny man’ on cqn?

    Saw him in a petrol station today in Cumbernauld. It was the DFC gear I noticed first, I wasn’t aware he’d signed for them.
