Callum McGregor would have started the scoring on 65 seconds if he got his shot away a fraction earlier, but it was the intelligence of Patrick Roberts after 5 minutes that started the party. He laid the bait in front of Newco’s Beerman, showed him enough of the ball to convince the left back to attempt an interception.
At that moment, Patrick conjured up his version of the Missing Lady. Before Beerman could make contact, the ball was gone, replaced by Robert’s limbs. Referee John Beaton took his time before awarding the kick. Conditioned by an earlier refusal to give a stonewall penalty to Celtic, we thought the worst, but the award was made and Scott Sinclair rolled the ball into the corner of the net.
Leigh Griffiths unleashed a lethal shot for the second. Stuart Armstrong won possession off Hyndman, when he really shouldn’t have. Goalkeeper, Fotheringham, got a hand to the shot, but, in a moment symptomatic of Newco’s entire play, he didn’t have the steel to divert the shot from goal.
Scott Sinclair will be exhilarated today, but on the odd occasion he’ll ponder why he didn’t help himself to a hat-trick yesterday. He squandered two great chances, one after a Griffiths shot from 18 yards rebounded off the crossbar.
Measuring a manager is difficult as there are so many other variables go into a club’s season, but if you want to judge Brendan Rodgers, take a look at Callum McGregor. He opened Celtic’s account in the second half, six days after scoring the first against Newco at Hampden. This season, Callum has emerged as a tidy and skilful central midfielder. So much of our play is dependent on the speed of thought and movement he brings to the game.
Dedryck Boyata scored the fourth, a header from a whipped Griffiths free-kick. This act was superfluous to the big man’s imperious performance. He simply won everything that came within his considerable reach. More evidence of his manager’s ability to improve players, teams, leagues and the mood of a nation.
I doubt Dedryck’s partner, Jozo Simunovic, required a shower after the game. He strolled through the occasion. Really good defenders are not called to defend too often. They simply know where to go to inhibit or intercept. This was Jozo’s game, apart from a simply stunning tackle on Kenny Miller. He swooped like an eagle picking up a field mouse, making a surgical contact with the ball and clearing the danger.
This brought a period of utter nonsense on the Sky Sports commentary, where we were told Jozo’s “speed” should have been penalised with a foul. I can only assume parallel universes exist, in another, fast players are not allowed. We were also told that Jozo went in “with two feet”. He didn’t, one knee was bent, foot under his gluteus maximus.
We are at a stage where television is asking for fouls when Celtic bring genuine world-class football to Scotland. Make no mistake, this tackle was of Beckenbauer standard. Mr Walker, take a look at yourself.
We lost our shape around five minutes before Newco’s late consolation. The players are not robots, fatigue may well have crept in, and the occasion was getting to all of us, but fortunately Mikael Lustig had a plan.
You remember that moment in Escape to Victory, when Bobby Moore is talking tactics, and Pele picks up the chalk and says, “Give me the ball and I’ll go here, here, here and here, the score”, while meandering across the blackboard. Mikael must have watched that movie as a child, and some long dormant neurons, which were protecting the memory, sprung into life.
That’s pretty much what Mikael did.
They were absolutely brilliant, every single one of them. But let me assure you, this really is just the beginning. 12 of the 13 Celtic players who touched the ball yesterday were at the club last season. Wait until you see what Brendan does when he makes the squad his own.
Newco surrendered. They looked like they didn’t want to be there. By the end, not many of their fans were.

As Bayern Munich celebrate their fifth straight league title win, football people all over Germany continue to worry about the gap between Bayern and 1860 Munich.
“The gap needs to be closed. We need to have competition between these two clubs”, said one former player.
Another said “German football needs a strong 1860 Munich. The national team have only reached the semi-finals or further of the last six tournaments and only won one of the last one World Cups”.
A supporter of 1860 said, “we won the league in 1966, so we are entitled to believe that we should be winning it this year, next year and every year”.
A former manager of 1860 said he knew that Bayern had a financial advantage that couldn’t be bridged but that it was vital that money was found from “somewhere”.
“It’s really unfair that Bayern are a successfully run operation and keep winning things”.
He later declined to go into any detail as to where that “somewhere” might be.

RANGERS was a “snake pit of rumour, innuendo, lies, intimidation, fraud, corruption and these are just the good points”.
That was the brutal and private view of former club public relations guru Jack Irvine about the business side of the club, 19 days after Craig Whyte bought it from Sir David Murray on May 6, 2011.
The former newspaper editor’s apparent emailed pitch for the business of the Whyte-owned club was revealed at the High Court in Glasgow at the end of the first full week of one of the most talked-about Scottish trials ever.
Whyte subsequently did hire Irvine and his firm Media House to spearhead what they called at the time a “more aggressive response to Rangers’ critics within and outwith the political world”.
Whyte, 46, denies the two charges against him, one of acquiring the club fraudulently in May 2011, and another under the Companies Act – which centres on a £18m payment between Whyte’s Wavetower company and Rangers to clear the club’s bank debt with Lloyds.
Part of the allegations against Whyte is that he pretended to Murray and others that “funds were available” from him to make all agreed-to payments, whereas the bulk of the money actually came in a £24 million loan deal from the company Ticketus against three years of future season ticket sales.
The sale deal was said to include clearing the bank debt, £2.8m for a “small tax case” liability, a £1.7m health-and-safety liability, and £5m for the playing squad.
The “for your eyes only” email from Irvine, whose company acted for the club on public relations matters for several years, emerged as Murray, 65, who was at the helm of the club for 23 years before the sale to Whyte, completed two days of testimony.
The message dated May 25, 2011, which came after boardroom hostility to his takeover, and sent to Whyte’s solicitor Gary Withey said: “The events of the last couple of days will by now have convinced you that the business side of [the] Glasgow-based football club is a snake pit of rumour, innuendo, lies, intimidation, fraud, corruption and these are just the good points.”
Murray said he did not agree with the evaluation and remarked: “He’s an editor.” Irvine is the former editor of the Scottish Sun.
The email, which was read to the jury went on: “[If I] have learned one thing from all this football involvement, [it is] that the normal rules of business do not apply. Sir David Murray was one of the worst examples of this… he spoke to the press every day of his chairmanship, often 20 calls a day, he would brief behind his manager’s and chief executive’s back.
“When life was good in the first decade of his chairmanship, this was sustainable, but when money got tight and success on the pitch diminished, it all fell apart with a vengeance.”
Asked by Whyte’s QC Donald Findlay if there was any truth in that, Murray denied the accusations saying: “I had a good working relationship with all my managers. As for the chief executive, he was big enough to do his own PR, I wouldn’t do it for him.”
The week began with a revelation that Ally McCoist, appointed by Whyte as manager, had a gold-plated contract which would have cost Rangers an “enormous sum” if he was not appointed to the top job. Findlay put it to Walter Smith, the previous manager: “Somebody has put the club in a position that if they don’t follow the line of succession it is going to cost the club a small fortune.”
Smith said: “I had no idea that was the case.”
Findlay said: “Extraordinary isn’t it?”
Smith replied: “Mr McCoist obviously negotiates his own contracts, so he’s possibly a bit brighter than I am.”
The court was told that the sale to Whyte was precipitated by the club’s bank, Lloyds, threatening to pull the cash plug on Rangers if they blocked the takeover bid – which Murray had told his board was “the only game in town”.
At the time the club owed the bank £18 million and faced a tax bill of up to £80m if they lost a dispute with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs over the use of Employee Benefit Trusts to pay staff and players – which became known as ‘The Big Tax Case’.
The court was told that Whyte had struck a secret deal with Ticketus to bring in cash to help fund his takeover by selling off season tickets.
The club’s long serving finance director Donald McIntyre, 58, suggested the involvement with the firm while Mr McIntyre was at Rangers had been kept “hush hush”.
But, Mr McIntyre, who spent five months at the club after Mr Whyte took over replied: “There was no need to disclose it. We did not divulge to the supporters we used Ticketus…it was merely a cash flow smoothing exercise during that final year.”
On Tuesday Mr McIntyre agreed the possibility of Rangers going into administration was discussed by Ibrox directors several months before Whyte’s deal to buy the club was completed.
McIntyre said that it would have been “remiss” of the board not to have talks on the issue “given the potential tax burden” and put the date at about October 2010 – seven months before Whyte’s takeover.
Mr Findlay said The Big Tax Case was a “nuclear missile heading towards the club” – an “Exocet” – and that “nothing could be done to stop it”, a “potential terminal event” for the club. Rangers eventually went into administration in February 2012.
Mr Murray, on his first appearance before the jury on Wednesday, insisted that he would not have sold his shares to Whyte for £1 “with stipulations” had he known about the Ticketus deal. He insisted the first he was aware of any Ticketus agreement was more than a year after he sold to Whyte.
He also denied he ever had a relationship with Whyte despite 10 friendly text messages being exchanged between them and a lunch meeting in Monaco after the takeover where, it is claimed, despite him then knowing about the Ticketus deal, it was not mentioned.
On Friday it was revealed that one of Murray’s closest advisors, his lawyer David Horne, knew of the plan to buy Rangers with the loan some six months before the deal was done. A note in his handwriting – which Murray claimed never to have seen – referred to a discussion with “CW” over a possible £15m facility.
It also emerged that Dave King – then a director, now majority-owner and chairman of the club after buying a 15 per cent stake in 2015 – had shown an interest in buying Rangers, six months before Whyte took the helm.
Murray, in his evidence, said he was aware of a meeting in London where it was expected King would make an offer, but it “never materialised”. He said that King “had every opportunity to match, equal or buy shares in the club prior to Mr Whyte.”
Just weeks before the takeover, King wrote to the Takeover Panel expressing concerns about the source of Whyte’s funds “which may lead to a formal investigation by the police authority responsible for such matters”.
Then in October 2011, five months after the sale, King wrote to Whyte telling him he intended to claim £20m “damages” against the club, because his previous investment had been lost.
In the letter he said “it has become clear over the last year” that the “company officers” were “allowing” Rangers to be “managed in a manner that was against the interests of the company and me in particular”.
At times the relationship between Findlay and Murray in court was testy. Findlay was appointed vice-chairman of Rangers by Murray, but resigned in 1999 after a video emerged of him singing “anti-Celtic anthems” at a private function celebrating the club’s successful season.
At one point he reminded Murray of the rules of cross-examination. “I know this is very unfamiliar to you as it will be to many people, but I’m afraid the rules of this are that [when I put] my question to you, if it’s not objected to, you are are obliged to answer the question. Changing the subject in these courts is what we call not answering the question.”
Findlay told Murray: “You entrusted the club to a board that you believed were capable of following the plan that you had left in place but they bring in no investment, their playing squad ends up as a shambles and this is two months before the deal with Mr Whyte.
“You were being let down by people who didn’t have a clue what they were doing when running Rangers.”
Murray said he had “minimal” involvement at Rangers from 2009, when he stepped down as chairman. “I don’t agree about the squad being a shambles but the facts are there.” Rangers, when Whyte took over, had just won the league for the third consecutive year. After liquidation the reconstituted club was admitted into the bottom tier of Scottish football.
In a concluding question to Murray, Findlay said: “From you stepping down as chairman and Craig Whyte taking over, what had these men done to your football club, Sir David? What had they done to our club?”
Murray replied: “The football side was reasonable. They had not generated new funds and I don’t think there was an alternative plan to raise new money. I think the club was stalling.”
The case is being heard in the High Court in Glasgow in front of Lady Stacey, who twice complained to Findlay about the mountains of paperwork on her desk, saying that she understood they would be on computer. On the second occasion Findlay responded, “I don’t do electronics”.
I heard at the weekend that Misser and Wallace had been asked to delay their wages until the season ticket money came in
Maybe the New contract was part of the deal

I think the Hun Commentator sounded quite a decent guy who was simply very aware that his team were being well and truly gubbed but I loved this bit:
” Here`s Mcgregor….he can`t get that half yard… ( Calmac scores )….yes he can.” !

That feckingoal by Hill at Celtic Park coupled with the shocking decision not to award Celtic a penalty soon after has cost mew a few quid at the bookies, as back in August I had bet that Celtic would beat the Huns in the 4 SPL games @ 16/1 ?
Cheating Craig Thomson at Celtic Park in 1 – 1 game.
PLUS of course it would have been another record for The Celts…Gubbing the ANIMALS 6 games in the ONE SEASON.
We beat them under MON in season 2003/2004 7 times in a row, but two games were the previous season I believe ?
That season I did the very same bet at 28/1 for Celtic to win the 4 SPL games which obviously came up.
I will be doing the same bet next season…and the season after that…..and the season after that…IF ANY Bookies will take the bet, as I could find only one who took my bet this season ” Corals”, although about a week later the same Bookie REFUSED me when I tried to put more money on the very same bet !

Celtic’s ‘humiliating’ win over Rangers, Ally McCoist’s analysis and Kenny Miller’s ‘hungover’ team-mates – Old Firm Facts
Old Firm Facts looks back on Saturday derby clash, where Rangers gave Celtic a ’90-minute guard of honour’.
You know those days at work when you feel like you’re the only one without a hangover?
When you’re picking up the slack while everyone else is slumped at their desk, dropping the red bits from Special K bars into the crevices of their keyboards and nipping out for 15 minute passive smoking breaks?
If that sounds familiar, your colleagues have stopped inviting you on nights out. Also, you can probably empathise with Kenny Miller.

News that one of Scottish football’s most controversial midfielders was to be involved despite his recent horror challenge had Rangers fans fuming, but despite their protests Andy Halliday appeared in the second half, during which he faced the likes of Scott Brown.
Celtic’s captain spent the hours prior to kick-off immersing himself in his usual Old Firm matchday routine of trying out some new sneers in the mirror for the afternoon’s memes.

12:44 AM – 28 Apr 2017
Sky pundit Ally McCoist called the overturning of Brown’s ban “a crazy decision”. A damning verdict from the man who once signed Emilson Cribari. “Managers need to do tactics. We all do that” said McCoist, a man clearly unfamiliar with the 2014/15 Rangers season.

“Awe-inspiring, solid, magnificent” gushed David Tanner. “Thank you very much” replied John Collins.

There had been much talk about the prospect of Rangers forming a guard of honour for Celtic before kick off. Despite grumblings from their fans, the home side went one better and formed a 90-minute guard of honour for the visitors. And they say sportsmanship is dead.

Rather than suggest or allude to a story I’d like to see Phil go further and follow up on his source/’s info and do a proper piece of journalistic investigation. Why expect the SMSM to do a job they are never likely to do or take on.

Scott Brown, the Celtic captain, believes that the Parkhead side spooked Rangers so much at Ibrox that Pedro Caixinha’s side couldn’t wait to get rid of the ball.
Brendan Rodgers’ side were rampant throughout a 5-1 win, a result that could well have stretched significantly wider given the manner in which Celtic dominated the 90 minutes.
Speaking to Celtic TV, brown said: “From start to finish the lads showed their qualities and showed their strength. At the end we ended up making Rangers kick the ball long every single time.
“That was their philosophy and they struggled to keep playing the way they wanted to because of our pressure, our fitness and our quality on the ball.
“When we turn up, we are better than any team in Scotland and we done it yet again. We came to our supposed nearest rivals and we showed them how good we are on their own turf.
“The lads are all outstanding. It is a proper team game and there are no individuals in our squad and it shows the togetherness we have. We are all there celebrating together, we score a goal we are all together, and when we defend we are all together.”
Brown was cleared to play in last weekend’s William Hill Scottish Cup final as well as Saturday’s game at Ibrox after appealing and subsequently winning a red-card from an Easter Sunday clash at Dingwall. The dismissal from a lunge on Liam Boyce was downgraded to a yellow last week at an SFA disciplinary meeting, rendering Brown eligible to exert his influence throughout the win at Ibrox.
“For me it was great to win the appeal because it was never a red card. It wouldn’t have mattered if I was playing or someone else because we have top quality players on the bench who can come on and change games and create chances. That is why we score goals at the end because of the fitness levels.”
Brown will down tools now as he serves a two-match suspension. His sanction will be married into a holiday, a scenario that was always on the case. Brown’s involvement for Scotland against England on June 10th means that he will have a brief summer break, with Brendan Rodgers revealing some weeks ago that the player was set for time off during the season.
The midfielder, though, has maintained that Celtic will not ease off in their forthcoming league outings. Rodgers has been relentless in his repetition of his desire that Celtic maintain the level they set for themselves this term and with the final of the William Hill Scottish Cup to come later this month, he wants his side to keep their focus.
“We need to keep going,” said Brown. “The gaffer wants us to get better week in, week out. There are five games left and we need to maintain the level we are playing at for as long as we possibly can.”
Meanwhile, reports in African have claimed that Celtic are set to offer 19-year-old Nigerian striker, Stephen Odey a trial.
Looking for some advice and assistance please. Got my flights for Glasgow and Lisbon booked. Arrive in Glasgow early afternoon 12th May.

KENNY Miller, the Rangers striker, last night claimed that Scott Brown, the Celtic captain, was aware what he was doing when his outstretched arm struck him in the head at Ibrox on Saturday.
Miller has also insisted he could have been hurt in a tackle by Jozo Simunovic in the first half of the Ladbrokes Premiership match and argued the Celtic centre half had used excessive force.
Rangers fans were incensed that match official John Beaton, who was taking charge of a Glasgow derby game for the first time, failed to punish two challenges on the striker at the weekend.
The 37-year-old went to ground clutching his face after colliding with the arm of his former Scotland team mate Brown as he challenged for the ball in the centre of the park.
The Celtic midfielder, who was cleared to play in the game on Thursday after having the red card he received in the match against Ross County earlier this month reduced to a yellow by an SFA disciplinary panel, was spoken to by the referee.
Simunovic, meanwhile, played on after a challenge for the ball which left his opponent lying in a crumpled heap on the Ibrox turf. The laws of the game state that a player has committed a foul if a challenge is careless, reckless or uses excessive force.
Asked about the first incident, Miller said: “Broony’s Broony so you are not going to complain too much, but he knew what he was doing.
“The Simunovic one in the first half? Honest to God! I’m trying to get out the way of it. If I go and ride that, there is the potential you could get hurt in the tackle.
“I appreciate he did play the ball, but what’s the term that gets used now? Excessive force, I think there was definitely excessive force in that.”

I wonder what Marx would have thought about sevco:)

Hi Bhoys
Re moaning miller’s comments on that wonderful tackle by Jozo.
By his own admission Jozo gets the ball (not a bit of it) the whole ball.
So if Jozo played the ball what did wee greetin’ face play?
He must have played the man.
So the ref should have awarded a foul to Celtic.
He plyed advantage instead and the rest is history.
I’m sure moaning miller knows about history he here’s thousands singing about it every other week.

We obviously need to change the rules so that you’re not allowed to be faster and stronger than your opponents, if they wear a blue shirt and play their home games in Govan.
If Jozo hadn’t been so quick to the ball, he could definitely have crippled Miller, so instead of complaining about excessive force ya wee eejit, just be thankful that he’s as fit as he is, and that you’re getting on a bit now and couldn’t get there in time to have your leg broken. :-)
