When we think back on away wins this season, the result at Anderlecht will feature prominently in the memory, but the manner Celtic swept their nearest challengers aside last night deserves equal billing. It was a magnificent performance from front to back. Former Aberdeen captain and manager, Willie Miller, reckons this is the best Celtic team he has seen, while current manager, Derek McInnes, was magnanimous towards the victors.
This has been a huge and draining week for the players. Munich, then Hampden, then Pittodrie sapped energy and concentration, but there was no evidence of this during the game – which was Aberdeen’s first in 10 days.
Relief, therefore, that we face joint-bottom Kilmarnock at home on Saturday. What can go wrong at home to Kilmarnock…………?
The Dembele-Tierney, Tierney-Dembele links which led to the first two goals typified what is fresh and irresistible about Celtic. Moussa terrified the Aberdeen defence. His touch, predatory instinct and physicality is incredible. Kieran bought and sold Shay Logan for the second goal in a manner which the Aberdeen defender will find spooky well after Halloween. I’m sure he’ll be tweeting about it soon.
As Aberdeen traipsed off the field they were looking at a three point gap to third place, before Kilmarnock scored goal at Ibrox 24 seconds after their keeper saved a penalty.
If you remember the Only An Excuse-Larsson fixes the radio, sketch (below), you’ll know this was life imitating art.

If King has decided to sack Pedro, he has done a runner back to South Africa according to this report

Has he survived the attempted Coup ?
Was expecting Lord Ha Ha to interrupt the Jeremy Vine show with a sombre announcement along the lines of….It is with great regret that The Imperial High Command of the Blue Room ( Marble Staircase) wish to inform the 500 million world wide supporters of Her Majestys Eleven that we have discovered that Pedro Caixhina was a double agent in pay of the Vatican,The Kremlin and The Sarry Heid Pub etc….

look out for a statement o’clock from the ragin bears
Jim Craig and his lovely wife Elizabeth just popped in for a chat and to collect the remaining gifts for the Lions and their wives which we organised back in May.
Jim was talking about the game last night and was blown away by the performance.
He also said that when he was playing Jock would have them travel up to Aberdeen on the train then walk to Pittodrie to stretch their legs!
Now, Jim said, they have their own chef on the luxury coach!
Jim will be a guest on the CQN podcast and watch out for his excellent new book which will be out next month on CQN Books.
