Very grateful to whoever at the BBC researched that Celtic are the third team in European football history to achieve the Double Treble, after The New Saints (TNS) and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This level of brilliance it exceptional by any standards.
Despite the levels of dominance TNS and PSG enjoy in their domestic leagues, neither were able to complete a Treble Treble; only Celtic can do that now.
The Scottish Cup Final was an exercise in game management by Brendan Rodgers. His team took a two goal lead and set about making sure Motherwell would be unable to lay a glove on them.
The strongest weaker foot in the game
Among the remarkable performances on the day, special mention has to go to Callum McGregor. Yet again he scored on the big stage, yet again with his supposed weaker foot, yet again the crucial first goal. His game intelligence bought him the space to attack when the ball was headed out of the Motherwell penalty area. The shot, hit on the drop-volley, was controlled and crisp.
I doubt there is a better finisher in Scottish football.

Ah no. That doesn’t matter to the all forgiving followers of Sevco.
Sure, McGregor has been welcomed with open arms.

Just reading back; you could ask for a hexad of eggs or nip into the bakers for a hexad of rolls.
If you are a gambling man you could put on a hexad cross.
The options are endless ………

Do you remember the debate on whether or not Brendan Rodgers is the best manager since Jock Stein ………..

Congratulations to Dedrijk Boyata for being called up to the Belgian squad. Hope he makes it to the finals.
Congratulations too, of a kind, to Stuart Armstrong for withdrawing from the Scotland squad. Hope that means he plans to stay at Parkhead for some time yet.

That’s how desperate they are any Bosman in a storm.

a few months ago I enquired of the bbc as to how much in total per year they paid the ebt pundits – they stated that since it was journalistic then they were not obliged to give the info. Where do you start?
It’s a hexad of balls in an Over unless you are an Aussie then it’s an octet.
A pal spoke to Steven Whittaker at hospitality last night, he said everyone was very welcoming, big pals wi Broony, said his Bhoy was Celtic daft ?
Something just occured to me when listening to that big galoot Derek Johnstone.
If Broony had signed for the huns when BFDJ was predicting , would he have been offered an EBT .
I think i’ll call and ask .
Gene,
A truly perverse arrangement where we get to pay their tax bills while being subjected to anti Celtic propaganda dressed up as expert opinion.

Ah don’t think ye would’ve seen MO’N standing in the queues, waiting to sell his soul for £49, as the back ae the bus plastic kiddy on rebels did, as they welcomed the cheating huns back into the SPFL.

No MON is driving the bus and wants them to be even stronger so we can charge £59

Not sure about Kilmarnock. I think playing on a plastic pitch will not help their development as a footballing team despite Steve Clarke’s best efforts.

Celtic FC history makers again ?
First time on cqn Really surprised at Martin O Neills Comments at Celtic needing a strong rangers team
Martin how can you of all people forget what a strong rangers team means to to Celtic fc it means without any
Shadow of a doubt Total Unequivocal DECEPTION to put it mildly , my Grandfather knew it ,My Father Knew it, I know it and my young grandson will find the same as we all know it, nothing bigoted about it, rangers are the people which has been their downfall for years well done Brendan Rodgers the team and our world wide support on a fantastic achievement of the double treble
When I met Jimmy McGrory.
Welcome and enjoy.
Hail Hail
I wonder, I wonder.
What would Nichola Sturgeon have said if a legitmate Catholic Scottish Sovereign head of state was slaughterd by an English head of state who was not a Catholic? Who’s side would you be on Nichola? Mary Queen of Scots or the Bitch Elizabeth? Answer that Nichola.. And all of the SNP.
The way that O’halloran is being treated by the Klan on social media is unsurprising. If he was Jewish, Muslim, Gay I’m sure the press may well have taken an interest but Catholic, no chance. Scotland’s shame ever present in 2018.
JIMTHETIM53, how are you pal before you ask frankie and benny are okay .jim dont think nicola and alex likes us to them we are irish catholics not native protestants.hh.

Noticed a comment under vid and rewatched
Brendan not celebrating 2nd goal,just taking notes on something he must have seen.1min 12.
He is the real deal
WHEN I MET JIMMY MCGRORY
Welcome to the madhouse :))))))))))))
Leftclick- did you see Brendan chasing the Tory linesman, just after the 2nd goal, for blanking a blatant handball? HH
Ive probably mentioned this before. Jimmy McGrory was My grannies cousin.
He was brilliant.
Big Packy, love you mate but I’m worried about Bobby, can you check up?
WHEN I MET JIMMY MCGRORY on 21ST MAY 2018 7:32 PM
A warm welcome to you. Two cliques way out front at the moment ” The Seville clique and the double treble clique.
MON is not a stupid man by any means. We may not agree with what he is saying about a strong ” Rangers” , but he has earned the right to give his views, especially on such a memorable 15 yr anniversary day.
HH to all.
JIMTHETIM53 do you mean bmcuw.hh.
