Robson’s grit returns to its main stage

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Aberdeen last beat Celtic in May 2018, the final game of a league season that saw Celtic win their 7th consecutive title and a result that was required for the visitors to finish second in the table.  Since then, the teams have met 20 times, with the Pittodrie side avoiding defeat on only three occasions.

Recent games have been an exercise in Celtic only just getting the job done.  A 2-0 win on the opening day of the season was the solitary occasion more than a goal has separated the sides in the last 8 outings.

The world changed for Aberdeen on one of those games.  The last time the sides met, in December, an 87th minute Callum McGregor strike turned a potential backs-to-the-wall draw into a dispiriting defeat for manager Jim Goodwin.  After that, the roof caved in.  Home and away defeats to St Mirren paled into insignificant to the 5-0 and 6-0 drubbings at Hearts and Hibs, either side of the Scottish Cup exit at Darvel.

Goodwin made way for Barry Robson as interim manager.  A 3-1 win in their last game, against Motherwell, kept them within a point of the top six, and led to Steven Hammell’s losing his Motherwell job.  No Celtic fans were surprised fortunes picked up when Barry took control.  His grit and professional pride will be out toughest obstacle tomorrow.  Celtic Park has seen its share of his talent.

    I hope that ANGE starts KYOGO Tomorrow, and gives him an hour or so, before bringing on OH.

     

    Funnily enough my Bookie ” BET365″ had NOT included Kyogo to score any Goals etc ?

     

    They must have thought that the wee Man would miss out.

     

    Maybe ANGE will start him from the bench, and only bring Kyogo on….WHEN/IF the game is WON ?

     

     

    I KNOW NOTHING CFC.

    Watch Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic press conference in full as he delivers blunt ‘not interested’ response to Michael Beale

     

    Postecoglou spoke to the media ahead of the clash with Aberdeen but he had nothing to say to Beale who appeared to write off Rangers’ title chances.

     

    ……………………

     

     

    Thats the Ticket ANGE Bhoy……Theres a TITLE STILL to be WON…..Just ignore the CHUMPS.

    To see an example of grit on a sports field, look no further than quarterback Patrick ’tis but a scratch’ Maholmes overcoming a 10 point deficit at halftime to win last Sunday’s Superbowl playing on one leg.

     

     

    To be fair, he had had some practice, playing on with a high ankle sprain ( usually a 5-6 week recovery time) 4 weeks ago in the equivalent of the quarter final, playing in the semi-final a week later, then a 2 week break before the Superbowl.

     

     

    He aggravated the injury just before halftime on Sunday following a hard tackle, and looked out of it, but he reappeared to play a flawless second half.

    There’s only one valid question at an Ange presser…team news, any injuries to report?

     

    Everything else is just bla, bla, bla…(mate)
