There are truisms in life. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, night follows day and Hibernian Football Club will not win the Scottish Cup. However, a failure to lift the trophy since Orville said to Wilbur, ‘I bet this thing gets off the ground’, does not guarantee subsequent failures. Hibs have already beaten Celtic this season and are perfectly capable of doing so again on Sunday.
Before this season Kilmarnock hadn’t won at Celtic Park since 1955, but it happened. St Johnstone, Motherwell, St Mirren, Inverness and Ross County beat us too. All these defeats were against the odds; no more so than Hibs are on Sunday.
Celtic need to get in touch with how they felt after their League Cup semi-final defeat to St Mirren, a day of so much regret. The 90 minutes will pass quickly, there’s no point leaving something in your locker for next week. Let’s get off to a flier.
Many thanks for sending over your Seville photographs, we are planning to pull photos and your comments on the event together into a special publication. If you have any more please send them in, celticquicknews@gmail.com.
Willie Wallace will be signing copies of his book at Waterstones on Sauchiehall St between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, 25th May. Bet he knows what he was doing that very afternoon 46 years earlier. Get along to see him or order your own signed copy below. This is going to be a great weekend.

googybhoy ♥ Celtic
From reading through his tweets, the decision was reviewed after he sent a letter of apology, admitted he was in the wrong and promised never to do it again.
Good on the club for taking this into account.

A big sporting Sunday in prospect for the bold and the beautiful people of Monaco , first the aperitif of the Grand Prix and then the main event, all round chez lambosfrontteeth for the cup final party.
Winning Captains
Can you ask Willie why he thinks he Stevie, Joe and Bobby got so few caps at a time when they were all good for 25 plus goals a season?
Can’t wait to see him tomorrow! At heart I’m still 7
Jimbo
Doctor Whatfor – we were just talking about Lubo. Willie agrees with you
Winning Captains-how much are ye furra roll n sausage ? :)
Can you ask Willie if he knows my uncle Eddie Big Celtic fan.
He stays in Australia
He must know him : > )
Mort
Well done to both parties dealing with the matter in a adult manner.
Winning Captains,
The Jungle…how loud(from the pitch), daunting, inspiring?
/ Hi Willie :O).
Gion to a waaddinn in St Pats Coatbridge and a load are coming over from Cork. Should be interesting!!
Ps How are they at the old fighting?? lol Just asking like. <:)0)
googybhoy
Agreed. If others who had received bans (for whatever offence committed) dealt with it in the same way, there would be a lot less animosity between supporters and the club.
Mort
Congratulations to Coisty on his Div3 gong. Great achievement for a rookie.
Shame he wasn’t available to collect his award, what with him being in the USA for a Sevco Charity white water rafting event.
Is Alistair the white water raft??
Winning Captains
Kylie or Dannii?
if anyone is going to the glencairn social club on sunday – can you have a look onto the football pitch to see if the game between the Fairway Tigers and the Fairway Loafers is still going on – my old man was playing in it and it kicked of about 33 years ago
cheers
That humpfries at murderwell is absolute garbage.
Imho

Please thank him for answering my many questions.

johnnyclash @12.03
What kind of question is that? McGrain was far superior to Hutton.
JohnnyClash – he knows Danni really well
She’s not half as good looking as Kylie but she’s a good business woman!
Winning Captains, no Craig Bellamy on that list? Maybe the modern-day Celtic player most like Willie?

Can you ask Willie if he thinks humpfries at murderwell is absolute pants

No keeper in that line up either. Must be some side.

One more question. Did Alex Ferguson really stick the nut in Bobby at Hampden? My dad keeps going on about it!
LB
Far superior is bit of an understatement!!!
JIMBO 67.MARIE remembers you ok.she says the boys in the class thought you were a PAIN in the ass but a the girls loved you.
May 24 1906 – British suffragette Dora Montefiore refuses to pay taxes & barricades home against bailiffs in protest over lack of vote.
May 24 2012 – Ally McCourt refuses to pay taxes & barricades ibrox in protest that ‘the peepul’ shouldnae huv tae pay!

Don’t see BA doing this for a Celtic excursion
McCoist! Phone did not recognise it first time. It is only used to Fat Sally. lol!
Favourite Uncle
It’s me. Genuinely brought a smile to my face – pass my best on to Marie!
Jimbo
JIMBO 67.will do.
Paul – re Craig Bellamy – a crafty player but not long at Celtic.
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan is here now and is struggling to get a word in edgeways!
Fabulous Celtic banter!

Could you ask Willie who was the hardest defender he ever came up against?
Good afternoon from a wet and windswept Co Durham, on my way up to Glasgow for what I hope is going to be a party weekend. Saw the following on the Land Rover next to me as I was leaving the ferry. It tickled me as I wondered to myself how often do they get called out in Holland :-)). Probably do as much work as Zeppelin builders:

LiviBhoy
Players he likes Paul McStay, Tommy Burns, John Hartson, Henrik Larsson, a young Charlie Nicholas, Kenny Dalglish and from the current team Izzy and Kris Commons
No Daniel Fergus?!!
Re The Jungle – great to play in front of it and the noise was amazing. However noise has always been special at Celtic Park.
