BBC’s series, Scotland’s Game, has become compulsive viewing. Tales of redemption for Celtic, Hearts and others, and tales of woe for some. Last night’s episode had a few remarkably frank admissions.
One which caught the eye was former-Rangers former-manager, Alex McLeish, who admitted his title winning team “would’ve been behind [Celtic]” had they not funded their squad through EBTs. We should all take note for when the Big Tax Case reaches the Supreme Court.
Pleased to see the appropriate amount of damage done to Rangers by majority owner and chairman, David Murray, was correctly attributed, with one or two character defects throw in for good measure by contributing journalist, Tom English.
Aberdeen have nailed their proverbial flag to the mast this week with the word, “No previous meeting found” on their fixture list comment on a forthcoming game against Newco. It’s a simple comment, it’s accurate, has been confirmed in writing by Uefa and will position the club shoulder-to-shoulder with their fans.
Get it right, Celtic.

I’m not getting shouty about it – I just think it’s dangerous to talk about any game as if it’s a foregone conclusion. On paper we are definitely better but if the players show complacency it could go wrong. We played them last year and got knocked out the Cup, when we had a much better squad than them (albeit with a crap coach). I’m not nervous about this game just now. That might change on Saturday morning though :)

Chavez (and BMCUWP), I am not saying it is a foregone conclusion, but I expect a comfortable home win.
Answer me this: if Saturday was Celtic V Hamilton or Celtic v Kilmarnock (2 teams that they have drawn with recently), what would your expectation be?

Just a note on a couple of similar comments I’ve seen in the past couple of days in relation to the hun perspective….
More than once I’ve heard a hun comment that they took defeat to the Dons worse than a defeat to Celtic……
In some ways I’m looking forward to that being inflicted on them more than this coming Saturday’s (hoped for) demolition.

I well understand that syndrome . I see it all the time which is why I tend to rely on indisputable historical fact , which of course can also be hard to find.
Facts , but more particularly events.
Hitler says . Hitler does.
You don`t respect Niall Ferguson .O.K.
I wonder if you respect John Pilger . I most certainly don`t .
But does that mean that we look for historians whose bias we agree with.
If that were the case , then we all lose.
