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.

Would those wishing to leave on the caravan shortly about to leave Auchenhowie please form an orange orderly queue …
Woof Woof
Special Commendation to Agent Pedro.
A lone star will now be afixed to the lobby wall at CP.
Saw pictures of him leaving auchwhatsitcalled – left his caravan and barking dogs there
Gutted
One of the best managers we ever had
Murty has been given the job for the moment.
Pena.Morales,Alves,Cardoso,Candyass,Dalcio,Herrera
Lovely jubbly
Hoopy Birthday Minx!
What a sad day for all SPL teams except Sevco; the joker has been sacked and the Deid Club can only improve methinks.
Oh wait, I see that Agent Orange is favourite to take his place – probably alongside Murty. Now that’s a dream team if ever there was one.
Nae money tae keep the lights on; the Champions League gift from Celtic will help pay off the Portuguese Caravan of Love; nae money to get a decent management team in (again). What will become of them. Liquidation II – The Sequel?
Who knows?
Who cares?
KTF
Murty will flip them over quickly
This is really unfair. Pedro gets sacked for doing a great job while that wee toad McCann is still in a job.
Shocking.
Scottish football is a shambles…
Right! Who’s the next hun manager going to be or will it be a dream team of say John Brown and Natcho? :-D
Will Pena be out on the razz tonight drowning his sorrows for Pedro and will the new manager be able to get the Latino’s playing for them in the cold winter months? Hmmmmm…
Now the fun begins.Really happy to see this toadying nonentity sacked.WATP,all over the walls.Hope when he gets back to Portugal,apart from the sack,he then gets excommunicated,LOL.Maybe burned at the stake for heresy.Whatever,good riddance turncoat.
Veni

Of course King had shot the craw and left it to others to do the deed – shameless
new article posted.
Surely Dave will ask his bestest pal Ricky Gough to take over…a real ‘club 1872’ man…
Pedro even has a Scottish dog…

From their official statement:
“Pedro was appointed in March this year but results have been disappointing and not commensurate with the level of investment that was made available.”
Investment is not “made available”. Investment is “made”. Money is “made available” to be “invested” or not.
Amateur stuff.
Please God, let it be Billy Davies :-)
Is this a sign of the times, no mention of Pedro on the 4pm news headlines?
Hoopy Birthday Minx 1888
About a month ago I was told by a client of mine , that his accountant had seen sight of an offer document to invest £25m into Sevco.
I discussed it at the time with Paul67.
We both dismissed it as mince.
The interesting thing is that I was told that Pedro had to go.
That there were so a few too many wanting payouts.
This would slow down the timing of the investment, but it was felt that the deal would be done .
The next bit is where I started to think “mince”.
A director of football type would be appointed.
An elder statesman of the Rednapp type.
I did not ridicule the chap that told me this , but I did tell him it sounded like a Sevco fairytale fantasy.
He texted me yesterday morning to say .
“It’s on.”
Another text this morning to say .
“ Stage 1 complete, Pedro’s gone.”
Now it wouldn’t take a genius to prophesies that Pedro would be sacked .
So I do still have the story filed under “mince.”
But he is adamant that new investors are waiting to put money into Sevco.
Time will tell.
For the time being .
Just how feckin fantastic were the Celtic last night.
3 up with 15 mins to go.
I was able to leave early, Miss the bottle neck at the Harbour.Stop in Stonehaven for a fish supper and still be home in Leven for 11.15pm.
God bless Brendan Rodgers
