Scottish Cup has historic importance this season

458
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

After three weeks catching sunrays and getting some recuperation in, Celtic are back in action tomorrow, in the Scottish Cup against Brechin City. The Angus club are enduring a torrid season, bottom of the Championship with four points from 21 games, so I would not expect them to venture too far from their only penalty area tomorrow.

While Brendan Rodgers will take the game seriously, in the bigger picture, it offers a good opportunity to get the legs stretched before the challenges over the next four weeks in the League and Europa League.

With the League Cup already secured and a commanding grip put on the seventh successive league title, Celtic are five cup ties away from an unprecedented second consecutive treble. There will be more financially rewarding games ahead, but our Scottish Cup ties have an historic importance.

    Would like two quality signings by time window closes, a centreback and a attacking midfielder, if we are only to get one then the latter is preferred so long as we dont sell any centrebacks.

     

     

    Would be comfortable with gamboa and bitton leaving if we could get decent offers in but think euboa should be kept.

     

     

    Dont get the anger towards club wanting to build a hotel, museum, ticket office and superstore as these are not ill throught out ego trip ideas, rather then added opportuniy to generation more income which in turn goes directly into the club, while improving facilities for supporters

    Braved the elements to go a Gin tasting night at bar Gin 71. My favorite was the Makar oak aged gin with a slice of ginger. Hh

    Back in the late 80s Little and Large once got my brother and my Mum moved from their seats on a plane. My brother’s leg was in a full plaster so they were put in the extra leg room seats. L & L came on and said they’d booked those ones and got them moved. My brother was around 9 at the time. Lovely blokes :O)

    Roy , thank you . Very good picture of our Reserve league winning squad of 84/85 season .

     

     

    We beat the Hun reserves 5 nil in a midweek game in April 85. John Colquhoun , not everyone’s favourite , played through the middle in that game , running the Hun defence ragged . They booted the crap out of him.

     

     

    The following Saturday after that game Billy Bragg was playing the Barras . John was there with Choccy .

     

     

    From that picture Owen Archdeacon, John Traynor, Tony Shepherd, Dugald McCarrison, Peter Grant , John Colquhoun , Peter Latchford, Barney Magee , Lex Baillie , Ronnie Coyle, Paul McGugan , Dom Sciavone, Derek Mills in that photo
