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.

The Partick Thistle v Aberdeen game is the fourth to be postponed at Firhill this season.

Paddy Roberts set to squeeze onto Celtic bench.
We’re gonna need a bigger bench…………

not only that, but the players at the other end of the bench were hovering several inches off the ground.
Patrick Thistle set to consider artificial pitch.
I’m mulling over a mathematical problem.
If, OI-UI=0
Where, OI=Over Investment and UI=Unanticipated Investment, then,
0 is the only answer.
Maybe it should read OI+UI, but then again it seems the answer is again, zero.
Possibly the correct solution can be negative.
Whatever, when applied to the latest Kingonian Level 5 economics, the answer remains 0, or negative. Thus using Murraynomics the solution is to drawdown future season’s ticket monies.
Problem solved.
Songs debate…
During the 1950s, a major argument broke out amongst the players of the Ireland Rugby team. At that time, home matches were often played at Belfast’s Ravenhill ground, and the IRFU elected to play God Save the Queen as their national anthem when hosting matches in Belfast.
A number of the Ireland players from the Republic objected to this, strongly, and before the match they informed the IRFU that they would stay inside the changing rooms until the anthem had been played. Cue major rammy.
The players were addressed by Cahir Davitt on behalf of the IRFU, who implored them to stand for the anthem. Davitt’s father of course was a leading figure in the nascent Irish Republican movement.
According to the players involved, Davitt’s message was that Rugby was the only remaining point of unity in Ireland, and if the players took their intended course of action, it would split the Rugby Union. Davitt said that De Valera himself wanted the players to stand for the anthem.
The players backed down, and stood for God Save the Queen as their anthem.
The issue was never repeated because thereafter, the decision was taken to play Ireland’s home matches in Dublin.

The Battered Bunnet,
A few weeks ago, I heard on the radio that in the first rugby world cup, Ireland used The Rose of Tralee as their anthem!!!

I never give advice to anybody on this blog. There are far too many intellegent posters for that. However for you I will break that rule and make an exception.
With the greatest of respect : Stick to your day job, because you havent a clue about mind reading.
I can possibly understand why you may think you are a clairvoyant, the association with paranormal certainly seems to fit the bill.

Lose and Aberdeen season is over
———————————
Surprised at this.
Only a 3-point gap and a hard game coming up tomorrow – it is far too early for such comments.

If it had ever occurred to me I would have wondered how rugby players representing Ireland but coming from the North feel about The Soldiers song being sung in Dublin matches.
Probably similar to all the soccer catholics when they stood for the NI anthem.

Wand there’s me the best mind reading clarevoyanyin the western world, being told. Not to give up my day job, jeeze but I know what he meant.

Oh and yer never stopped giving advice on here, it’s just like yer last babble smothered in hyperbole, your opinion is no as easily hidden as you hoped, how you frame your supposedly neutral questions betray your opinions it’s called ad hominem I think.
Everybody’s talking about bagism-
The league’s in the bag if Aberdeen lose and we win our next games.
;)
Aberdeen match off?
I see the SFA have called off Aberdeen’s game tonight to allow Jonny Hayes time to recover?
Paranoid? Me??
Very disappointed that the superglue on Aberdeen’s hastily repaired bottle will be allowed more time to set.
Still, it’s only a matter of time before it crashes again.
Baaaa-d news for the sheep feel for the poor lambs who travelled down for the slaughter-but playing was too big a gambol, shear baaaaa’d luck…
Nat..,
Paranoid enough ?
The pitch at Celtic Park isn’t as good as it was a few Yrs ago..There was a groundsman named Eddie but since he retired, it hasn’t been the same.i know it was relaid, but it has not looked good, even round the edges are rough
Now I know the lottery and Lawwellism are for the arithmetically challenged but now the league too?
They destroyed an award winning pitch for the commonwealth games, remember why we went to murrayfield.
The pitch has never recovered or been allowed to recover.
I wonder how much more marketable Sviatchenko is now after last nights man U defeat? :)
An Aberdeen collapse is different to a good Celtic team…. Some folk getting confused here I think…
the poor lambs who should have been playing will be eating lobster

Succulent lobster?

I think Ireland played a World Cup warm up in Belfast a few years ago.
GSTQ was not played which caused consternation from the usual DUP suspects.
The Celts arrived in the British Isles no more than four thousand years ago, and that’s nothing on the evolutionary time scale.
ok maybe 10 000 years!
