Aberdeen will already be in town ahead of their game at Firhill tonight. Lose tonight and a season which promised so much as recently as Monday, will effectively be over.
Tomorrow’s game against Inverness will present a robust challenge for Celtic. Inverness are one of four clubs locked within a point of each other, a maximum of three of them will be in the top six after the split. Despite the fact that the Highlanders are competing in the right half of the table, with a Scottish Cup quarter final against Hamilton Accies to look forward to, they are only five points from the play-off spot.
Players will be battling for their livelihoods in every sense of the word.
Well done to Erik Sviatchenko’s old team, Midtjylland, on their Europa League win over Manchester United last night. And to the observer who noted that they have now beaten more top six teams in the England and Wales Premier League than Manchester United or Manchester City.
You wonder what last night’s results will do to the marketability of the Midtjylland players, and whether or not we would have been able to get Sviatchenko in the summer, had he stayed. Big results bring focus and scores of scouts. We nipped in at the right moment with Erik.
Good luck to Thistle tonight.

Why are you talking about goldfish?
Sorry, link meant for bognorbhoy
if Aberdeen get beat tonight they will have 55 points with 11 games left. Potential 88 points. if they beat Celtic at Celtic Park.
Celtic currently have 58 points with 13 games left. If Aberdeen were to beat us in the Head to Head. We would need to win 10 and draw one and only lose one of the remaining games.
I think the league is far from over and so is Aberdeens season far from over.
saying a team 3 point behind Celtic, season is over is premature.
Paul67,
You may well be right (and I hope you are) but, imo, there are still too many points to be won and lost. I never take anything like winning the league for granted. We will not have won the league til we have got more points in the bag than the others can get.

You right about the date.
The strange thing is that….as far as i can see, the motivation for the Magdalene in Glasgow came from Evangelicals rather than RC.
In fact….you can guess what er tradition most of the unfortunate women came from.
Your mother was spot on.

I think I’m onto something here. Maybe need to tighten up the lyrics to get the message right. Bear with me.

TBB,
Bear with you?! BEAR with you? Bloody (TEDDY) BEAR with you? I certainly shall not.
However, I shall give you time… another chance … whatever you need to finish you song … but I shall not BEAR with you!

“the view that Scots have of themselves “.

You don’t think that Scots have a sense of identity that marks them out as different to the people of other countries?

A first time for everything I suppose.

Because the myth is just that, I remember.

TGM,
Hoped so :)
My first thought was I wonder how many exist and now get govt grants.

“You don’t think that Scots have a sense of identity that marks them out as different to the people of other countries? ”
I think SOME of them have. I think that may well be true of every nation on the planet. That was my point.

If you are into digging , I imagine the relationship between the Magdalene and The Lock Hospital ( and the later Black Street Clinic ) might be interesting.Cynical me assumes that some of Glasgow’s ” great and the good ” would have profited by having a business relationship with the Magdalene..
Off out to buy a John Dory .
What is the latest with McMullan who scored for the young bhoys today ?
Had high hopes after seeing him rip Huns young team apart last season.
Really like to see us giving guys like him and Nesbit a first team game at parkhead before sending them on loan .. Give them some encouragement to succeed.
So, this monkey walks into a bar, carrying a knife …. orders a shot of rum, knocks it back … then chases all the men (but not the women) out the bar …
I know it sounds like the start of an old joke… but it actually happened… and the photo made me laugh!

Studying some aspects of the Lock Hospital currently.
I think my conclusions….will be similar to your own.

There is much scope for research on your particular insight.
By Jove…I think you may be onto something indeed.
And sparked my doggedness.
We shall return to this topic no doubt.
I will brainstorm this one.
I was in the Calton last night…21 st party.
I know that area well…went to school there.
Target area in the 19th century….for those very same anti-Catholic groups/societies.

Very hard to see Aberdeen losing tonight, unless young Nesbitt plays a stormer, which even then may not be enough.
I’d expect a 0-1 or 0-2 keeping them on our toes for the time being.

And would you agree that the Scots* have a view of their attitude towards racism?
* not every single one, obviously.
JJHS … I had thought the same when I read the article!
Have to say that article made me laugh, but it is the picture that really got me …. it is like they have just captured John DIllinger, or something!
JJHS,
I was thinking the same, could that be the first handsome hun ever pictured

Mark Warburton has refused to comment on artificial clubs.
Aberdeen are assured of dropping no points tinight because…
Gemme’s aff. Postponed. Pitch unplayable.

CQN live from Maryhill
Sky news announce the game at Partick v Aberdeen is postponed due to waterlogged pitch
The look on Jim White’s face said it all
Celtic—– go for the 3 points tomorrow and open up the gap
I suspected the game might have been cancelled. Firhill does not respond as well as , say, Celtic park to a Biblical deluge.
Cheerio for now
JJ
PS I wanted the game to go ahead tonight ( I felt Aberdeen would drop points) but, as long as we win tomorrow, a six point lead, same games played, suits me just fine.
so much for ‘Fortress Firhill’ (copyright Paul67)
