Players are not machines. They cannot go into every game with the same energy or motivation. You will remember the only time Celtic beat reigning European champions, our win over Milan in 2007, was followed by a scare against Gretna, which required two goals in the final 4 minutes to recuse the points. This is not a criticism, they are human and react accordingly.
In this respect, visiting St Mirren on Sunday is probably a good thing. Returning to the scene of our only domestic defeat this season should draw enough response from the tank to ensure we are not caught cold. Sometimes you are better off with a taxing game than facing relegation strugglers at home.
St Mirren are also in the comfort zone. They are fighting for a top six finish, which would be a ‘nice to have’, but is far removed from the fight-for-their-income consequences at the foot of the table. They also don’t have a new manager to provide a dead cat bounce. In the belief that Celtic play better against better opponents, a visit to Paisley is perfect.

Norrie Martin was the man who conceded four goals in the ‘69 cup final.

Cheers Mate, i knew that I would get it wrong when faced only with a choice of Two.

A great player and character. Sadly missed.
Talking of TAILORS and SUITS etc, I saw the Link last week to to the Celtic Squad getting fitted for their New Cup Final Suits.
The Shop that JOTA etc were in is called ” FORBES” in Glasgows Ingram Street I believe ?
Ive been promising myself a couple of new suits for a while now as Ive put on a bit of weight and my Suits no longer Fit me.
I had never heard of ” FORBES”, but on viewing the Link to the Celtic players, I went onto FORBES Website to have a look.
The STARTING PRICE for a New Suit is ” £650″ in ” FORBES”…..I may just stick to SLATERS ?
£650 ( At Least ? ) for a New Suit is maybe not an option for me, as I wouldnt be wearing it too often, as I dont go out too often….MAYBE I need to get my Social Calendar ” Kick started” once again ?
LOL
HH.
Never mind Big ANGE being ” Lucky”….Celtic FC must also be ” Lucky” to have so much CASH to spend on New Suits……..
Said….” MICKEY BEALE” !
LOL

A Family of CANNIBALS sit down to their evening Meal.
The Daughter says….” Mummy, I dont like my wee Brother”…
Mummy replies ” Thats okay darling,…..Just leave him at the side of your Plate” !

St Mirren. 5-3-2 opposition. Big Ayunga (who gave our defenders a torrid time in the 2-0 game with his presence) has now been replaced by Tony Watt & Main. Different proposition.
The other factor for me is that the defence that day was Taylor, Jenz, Welsh and Ralston. CCV, Starfelt and the magnificent Johnston will both stand firm and stand no pish.
Winning against their 8 team low block will mean quick movement from the associated efforts of Jota, Abada, Kyogo, McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate, Haksa, Maeda, Mooy and Oh.
It will be attritional, not live long in the memory but a professional 4-0 humping at the end of the day.
We never stop csc

AT…Hal Stewart was the man who brought the Danes to Morton, a man ahead of his time.
*The Arabs also signed a few Scandinavian players back then including Finn Døssing, Mogens Berg and Lennart Wing, along with range persson who left the former Dundee Hibs to join another side full of orange persons.
As for quick draw mcgraw as he was known, he was known, he was a prolific goal scorer and while down at the tail of the bank set a Scottish record for most goals scored in a season, helping them to the 1963 League Cup final as well as promotion to the as it was known then First Division in 1964, scoring a record 61 goals in 52 appearances it was the first time Morton had played at that level since 1952, but two seasons later they were relegated back to the Second Division when he was sold to the Hibbees.
Allegedly we had made a bid for him to which he turned us down and instead came back up the road with Paddy Turner who was also a decent scorer of goals, at the time it was insinuated he widnae play in green and white, but when he signed for Hibs that soon became green and white hoops, right enough after 3 seasons he moved on tae linfield and then back tae cappeilow so mibbees it was right.
Now I know we were taught not tae speak ill of the dead but while at Easter Road he had switched back tae the right half position and one day in the Jungle I watched him run diagonally across the park and humph the wee man there on tae the running track, didnae stop tae see how he was but just trotted back with a wry smile on his face, when I next saw him in crutches my first thought was karma ya dob.

Anymore of these jokes and I’ll start drinking……
Douglas Ross has apologised for using “industrial language” in the Scottish Parliament after he was interrupted by protesters.
The Scottish Conservatives leader was in the process of making a point to Nicola Sturgeon about the controversial deposit return scheme (DRS) when three people in Holyrood’s public gallery began shouting about climate change.
Parliament was briefly suspended by the Presiding Officer to allow the trio to be removed by parliament security.
An annoyed Ross could be heard on TV and radio saying “f***’s sake” as he took his seat in the Holyrood chamber.
…………….
So ROSS knows some sweary words himself ?
Did Folk in the Public Gallery shout….” We do NOT accept your apology….Yer STILL a JEREMY HUNT” ?
Okay…they didnt, as I made that bit up myself !
LOL

Aye right ye are J.😂😂
I watched ” The GODFATHER” Movie on FILM4 last night.
BRILLIANT !
” AL LETTIERI”..
Alfredo Lettieri was an American actor. Active during the 1960s and 1970s, he commonly portrayed villainous characters. He achieved recognition for his performance as mobster Virgil Sollozzo in the crime film The Godfather and appeared in several other productions alongside Hollywood’s biggest screen stars.
Big AL had one of the MOST MENACING Faces in Movies. He was born to play a MOBSTER.
He sadly died just Three years after his great role in The Godfather of a Heart Attack in 1975.
He was only 47 years of age.
A great loss to Movie fans, and his family Im sure.
R.I.P. ” AL”
The GODFATHER Part TWO is on FILM4 Tonight at 9pm.
Maybe even better than the FIRST Film ?
Robert De Niro and AL Pacino at their best imho.
The GODFATHER Part Three is on Tomorrow night…. hopefully, I will be too tired to watch it as its WOEFUL.
NOT a good script imho.

Just to satisfy my curiosity I googled it and she is mentioned as just a relative of McCloy………they took it well.
John Lundstram disputes ‘massive’ Celtic gap as Rangers star adamant Hampden defeat doesn’t paint full picture
The battler doesn’t think it is as wide a gap as their match with the champions suggests
……………
This Hun CHUMP must have forgotten about the other chances that Celtic had in the game, including KYOGOS Header, and JOTAS shot in the first half…not forgetting the THREE Great chances that Celtic had towards the end of the game.
Im happy that THEMS think that they are close to Celtic….I hope that Celtic really put thems to the sword on April 8th at Celtic Park.
