The game was only 42 seconds old when Peterhead’s David Ross was sent clean through on Lukasz Zaluska after some excellent approach play but the Celtic keeper was alert enough to collect the ball and prevent the home team’s only chance of the game. Anthony Stokes scored a hat trick and had a further two goals disallowed for offside as Celtic progressed into the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
Stokes looked most likely to score from the off. Samaras fed the Irishman on 14 minutes but his shot was blocked. Ki then played a forward pass inside the Peterhead right back to the overlapping Cha. Cha’s cutback found Stokes, who leaned back in the act of shooting and fired over. Just before the half hour mark Charlie Mulgrew passed a corner on the deck to Ki, who took a touch and shot against the crossbar from the edge of the D. Keeper Jarvie then saved well from a Mulgrew free kick.
Celtic opened the scoring on 35 minutes with a classic Centenary goal when Paddy McCourt swivelled in the centre of the field before playing a forward ball for Samaras to run onto. The Greek striker reached the ball inside the 18-yard-box and squared with his first touch to Stokes who knocked the ball into an empty net.
Shortly before half time Samaras carried the ball 80 yards before crossing for Stokes who finished well inside the 6-yard-box but he was flagged for offside.
Stokes second came on 57 minutes when Emilio Izaguirre dribbled into the box before playing a smart 1-2-3 with Stokes, who found what looked like an impossible space inside Jarvie’s right hand post.
Stokes was now on fire and could have added a third a moment later when he controlled a Mulgrew corner inside the ball but pulled his shot wide from 6 yards. The striker completed his hat trick on 82 minutes a few seconds after substitute Dylan McGeough entered the field and dribbled into the box. The ball was cleared to Wanyama to pushed it right to Brown who then sent it onto Stokes who made no mistake.

SNAKE PLISSKEN
As the resident film buff on here,have you ever heard of one called “CLEANING UP THE STREETS”?
An independent Canadian production,the only time I ever saw it was in the early days of C4.
Cannot find any reference to it on the web,but would love to track it down.
And coming from a far-from-fan of tv and film,that’s saying something!

Just had a wee look at the Scottish Cup archives.
Feb 2009 (v Queen’s Park) was the last time we had a home draw?! 3 seasons ago.
Semi Finalists 2 years ago (Ross County, ouch) with no home tie, winners last year with no home draw. So we were involved in maximum number of draws.
Away to Ross County is a certainty, Rob Maclean let it slip last night.
Sunshine, alternating with showers, here in North Ayrshire this morning.
Hope none of our players is injured after that “towsy” encounter.
Where’s all the papers this morning?
Alan Smith? Alan Smith???
a hun, a thug, a poor athlete, and past it.
No thanks.

Alan Smith???
Sorry guys,genuinely didn,t realise he had a fondness for the darkside!Anyways-thought young Dylan looked the part yesterday,very confident player.
So let’s see . . .
That’s Rangers away, Aberdeen away and Ross County away. All ‘certainties’ according to 3 different posters.
I can’t contain my excitement.
Snake Plissken –
The draw is at 2:30.
Now that IS a certainty.

Put Hearts v Hibs in your certainties list! ;-)

GiggsyBhoy –
That would be nice :-)
Only 27 more predictions required till we guarantee someone gets it. I’m sure we’ll get there by 2.30.

What would be the least money spinning tie the huns can get? Thats who I want them to get!
I’ll take anybody for us, if we’re good enough to win the cup we’re good enough to beat whoever is put in our way!
As long as we don’t get a team who has a player in the squad whose sister’s ex-boyfriend’s cousin’s uncle drove the Inverness Caledonian Thistle/Clyde/Ross County [delete as appropriate] team bus the day they knocked Celtic out of the cup, then we can be spared listening to Ian Croker mentioning it every 5 minutes.
I hope we get the hun. A home tie would be nice but either way if anyone is going to dump them out it will be us.
The animals have not beaten Celtic at Celtic park in the Scottish cup for well over 100 years. It is a Hibs in the tournament – esque record.
This would be the best draw possible financially and in a footballing sense.
We can kill off the Fat PLG’s season.
Originalsadiesbhoy
Alam Smith is a Broony, 100% tryer. I remember a friendly we played against Leeds a good few years back and Smifffy was kicking everything that moved in a green and white shirt, so much so he was booked!! Like his style and commitment but is he not now injury prone??

Away to St Mirren,anyone got any info on the Ibrahim guy we are being linked with on here?.Ta.

The huns would get half the gate money.
I’d prefer my money went elsewhere.

That is a sacrifice that may need to be made sadly. From a footballing point of view, if we don’t put them out few other sides have the gumption to do it.
Good morning fellow Celts from mild, dry North Hampshire
A decent enough performance from Celts yesterday and Stokesy stick on MOTM -3 goals and much more
Disgraceful lunge on Charlie by their no 4 early on set the stage for the cloggers to
I see some blaming Jim McInally for allowing his team to boot us up and down –
he is a guy I have never liked- sat a few yards away from us at CP during a hun game
frowing upon comments from Celts that someone should let Andy Goram have some of his own medicine – a
strange one when you consider YESTERDAY Sunday charater [:-)

I apologise unreservedly for posting a dog nap so late in the day. Not sure if that is within the spirit of the competition.
If you think there is the slightest problem with it-and it IS a horsey thing after all- I will have no problem with you striking it from the record,declaring a non-runner/no post.
Honestly.
In my defence,only nipped out for a couple,and discovered the Swindon-Wigan game was on live in my local-it’s run by a former Swindon Town stalwart-got into company,and had a bit of a set-to wi some a……e threatening me with a knife.
A swift left foot left him threatening me with his mates,so I wasn’t leaving till they came round,which they didn’t.
Not a tale of heroism and valour,only an excuse!
Good Morning to the Celtic Family from a Sunny Central Scotland. Bada Bing if you scroll back you will find a link with some video of the player in the video he looks quite good he is an attacking midfielder.H.H.

They beat us in 1998 at Celtic Park although it was a semi final. I dont want them at all before the semis as I doubt they will be around then & dont want to give them any of our money before then.
BLANTYRE KEV
It’s certainly a long time ago,but pretty sure that during Big Jock’s tenure-I was a kid at the time,still am-that home draws were few and far between.
I honestly canny see how they can fix this one,so we’ll see.
But I said to my hun mate yesterday,you lot at home to us. And a replay to help you out.
I would rather avoid a shame game against Der Hun.
They are on the slide and know it. Dirty tactics on and off the park and their hordes polluting the airwaves and TV channels is something we can all do without.
Let a giant killer put out Rangers as Celtic stroll through the rounds to Hampden for the final.

‘frowing upon comments from Celts that someone should let Andy Goram have some of his own medicine’
Is that the phrase that was used?
‘Give him some of his own medicine’?
And was he frowning upon?
Or scowling at?
And how do you know what his facial expression was in response to?
You’re obviously very observant, noticing other fans’ facial expressions during a huns game. Personally it takes me all my time to watch what’s going on on the pitch.

By the way,there’s a marvellous article in The Herald by Michael Grant,re Jelavic and Sandaza,etc.
It is absolutely crying out to be AWE NAWed.
In fact,in places it looks like it already has been!
I’d c&p for anyone who wants to read it,but I’ll wait for it to be done properly……

Poor lad is still struggling,trying to figure how to do it justice.

The huns would make more money playing us at Celtic Park than they would from getting to the final.
I’d rather they had an away tie at the smallest ground possible.

You are right -it was so noticeable the guys were giving him pelters-my mates and I were talking about it after the game

I remember when we first conversed-regularly- on the nightshift about three years ago when I was a newbie on here.
Times have changed,people change,but love of the club doesn’t.
That was the GCT of old,a wee cracker.
More of them,please.
All the goals,the Celtic one’s lol from the first half of thew season,,,some real crackers in there,,,,,unlike the OG’S and penalties the orcs get!!!

Draws is on SSN at 2.30, being drawn by AVB and Marcelo Lippi, so assuming it’s in the SSN HQ in London? Jim White warming the balls as we speak.
Or is AVB up in Glasgow for talks with Sammy’s agent?
It’s being reported that Marcelo Lippi said to his taxi driver at the airport, “Mi attirerò gli Unni via per le pecore”
Any ideas??

The huns are getting hertz,away. Guidi enough for them.

They are both in Glasgow at a conference at Hampden.
