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.

    Arteta in his reaction thanked the committee for their honesty but suggested unless the 3 points are awarded its an empty judgement.With the monies involved down there wouldnt be suprised if it ended in courts

    Chill my friend.

     

     

    We are Celts with different point of view. If we can state it without insulting and patronizing each other then so much the better.

    Good evening Mod, I respect you for taking on such an unenviable role. It really is a no win situation, The Club that my father gave to me and that I fell in love with is not the same, I always believed and argued that we were different to the Huns. Are we with our no-one likes us and we dont care shite? I always tried to spread the Celtic gospel, and I always will.

    I remember in the distant past thats how music was shared on here………on a Friday night

     

     

    In the old days Friday night was a CRC quiz followed by a music session into the early hours. Best practice was never ever to read back Friday night comments because you were pished and how you were able to type is still a mystery 🤣🤣

    Your job is impossible.

     

     

    My own view is that Celtic are not the club my father gave to me. The supporters have changed. I cannot say why, and I know that I will be criticized for what I just said. Anyway, I know I am an increasing minority in Ireland that can wear the 4 leaf clover on my chest without being seen as a sectarian bigot simply because I support the famous (Glasgow) Celtic.

     

     

    Night all Celtic supporting Celtic supporters and the non-supporting Celtic supporter as well.
