Of course, it happened in our ’67 anniversary season. Celtic were drawn away to Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup, as the Rovers dumped Queen of the South out of the competition last night. The tiny Lanarkshire club (arguably the smallest in Scotland) don’t have an illustrious history, but Jock Stein played more games for them than any other team. In Coatbridge, that counts.
I’m sure it makes sense for Kieran Tierney to have a shoulder operation while he’s out with an ankle injury but it’s very unwelcome news that the player needed the work. Despite upbeat reports I’m sceptical the op will not further delay his return. For a start, any notions of getting upper body work done are no longer valid.
Uniquely in European football, Celtic’s season is skewed to the start, not to when the prizes are given out at the end, which have become a meritocratic formality. With no European football after Christmas this season, the remainder of the campaign will be about getting ready for July and August, when the really important stuff takes place.
Kieran will miss three Champions League group stage games in total, last Sunday’s cup final and some atmospheric games to come; this will be the source of some regret to the teenager. In compensation he can look forward to picking up a league winner’s medal at the end of the season, and hopefully being in top condition for the qualifiers.
To be fair to Robbie Neilson, even when he was a success at Hearts he wasn’t overwhelmingly appreciated. This season it looks like the party’s over, so I understand why he would take a job at MK Dons which, on the face of it, looks like a dangerous step.
Dons are two points above relegation (to the fourth tier), without a league win in two months. The club has serious structural issues which any new manager would find difficult to compensate for with little more than a few fresh tactical notions. But at least Neilson can’t be blamed for relegation, should it happen.
He’s next year’s Jackie McNamara.

Butcher says Mr Thomson must be feeling sorry for Sevco….
You don’t say
Davidopoulos-I agree regarding the discussions today,it’s all a bit above my pay grade buts it’s easier to read when it’s done with respect to each posters opinion:-))
Sevco players might be a bit tired. They have been playing 98 minute games all season.

dougie dougie jack up the injury time
One of the more positive posts on HunMedia…
A clueless manager, gutless players, bent officials. We are horrific to watch, utter sh/te and Scottish football is rotten to the core.

for a bit of fun ….. lets start a rumor that Warburton is to be sacked, and Sally will be coming back to take over …. their zombie heads will explode….
Even the ref cheating can’t save them anymore
FAIRHILL BHOY
Absolutely. Not every discussion has to turn into a slagging match. Today CQN has been the most enjoyable for me for a while!
Ian Black coming on for Sevco.
I’m going for 5 mins injury time…
Any advances?

Heh heh. Must be somebody in England updating that one!
If we’re ever even half this bad, seriously, get a gun, find me, and make it quick.

Hertz fans singing “Walking away is the Rangers way” as Sevconians leave with 10 mins to go
Busy doing work related stuff but have had the monkey’s game on in the background.
Miller commits two blatantly obvious yellow card offences- kicks the ball away and catches the ball with two hands whilst in the field of play.
Nothing.
Ps that Garner is an animal.

Ian Black coming on for Sevco.
……………..
I bet he’s got a tenner on the Jambos:-))
Joe Garner ‘wins fouls for fun’
HAHAHAHAHA
Davidopoulos
If he really is feeling sorry for them , surely he won`t add 5 minutes? More likely to blow early.
JJ
That Garner is an animal, he seriously injure someone before the season’s out…
Thommo yer an empty shirt..
Incidentally, rather than think, ` These two teams are very poor`. I was more inclined to think, ` These two teams make me realise just how good Celtic are.`.

I have it on good authority that The Warbmeister will be sacked in the morning.
Pass it on
DAVIDOPOULOS
Very interesting, intelligent and courteous exchange of views between a few of you earlier today.
Well done lads.
Due to grandfather duties, school run, I was only able to watch from just before the offside decision.
But
Is Craig ThomsHun ever embarassed by his obviously biased “Honest mistakes?”
Toom Tabard Thomson.
15 mins minimum
BUTCHER BEGGIN FOR EXTRA TIME
Remember there are at least 19 minutes left
