The early season noises around Scottish football are unlikely to settle Celtic anxiety-disordered nerves. Hearts are under the control of a very credible 29% owner, Newco are enjoying their annual status as the next big thing in European football, Hibernian secured their best European result in 50 years in Belgrade last night and Dundee United went all retro to earn an away draw in Vienna against Rapid.
In 2012 when Scottish football was told that we “need a strong Rangers”, you and I agreed that what we really need is a strong showing from the other city clubs. It’s early days but the trend is pointing upwards.
One noticeable absence from the above names is Aberdeen, who played some nice football at Tynecastle on Monday night but left pointless. They face the champions on Sunday with the penalty win over Celtic in May their only competitive success since April.
We know what to expect on Sunday. Physical intimidation is their default mode. They will kick and slide in, in an attempt to disrupt our rhythm and discourage Celtic players from showing for the ball. As a fan, I never really know if this works, but teams still do it, so I assume it has some effect.
Celtic need to be ready for the battle, take the fouls when the inevitably come and go back for more, without hiding and without trading blows.

Need to look out for diver G
Haven’t seen it but Cathac’s brother tells me it was never a penalty. That Gassama seems to be a cheat. I saw the highlights last week where he won a free kick in a dangerous position by simply throwing himself on the ground. Cathac’s brother can’t fathom how VAR upheld the penalty tonight.
Boooooooooooooo
Turned on the huns’ game to enjoy the fan reaction just in time to see Hun Robertson award a non-penalty right on the 90th minute. Then upheld by VAR. laughable. They then tried to award Dessers a winner when he was a clear yard offside. Must’ve been difficult for the hun linesman to see given the 18 yard line was a clear marker. Cheating bar stewards. So much for VAR.
That was nice 👌
Who was on VAR, absolute joke,good score for our Board
brilliant laxalt
McDermid
Gassama is another cheat in a long list of them. Naismith, Kent, Silva. fat boy
If this is the ‘new’ refereeing then we need explanations on subs,injuries,sending offs.
If that is adhered to , then fine. Otherwise it’s cheating
Naked, blatant cheating by Don Robertson and his Linos at Ibrox.
