There was always an outside chance Celtic would go back to the top of the Premiership this weekend, but with a two-point and six-goal swing required, it was a longshot. When it happened, by the slenderest of margins, I repeatedly heard the lead will vacillate throughout the season. Maybe.
The champions have Pittodrie on Sunday, 62 hours after leaving the field to Lazio. Aberdeen always have a go, but Celtic have won all six leagues games there during our Treble Treble years, scoring 16 and conceding just four (three of which came in a 3-4 away win). If we come through this one with a win, the signs are ominous for any would-be challengers.
The most pleasing aspect of Saturday’s comfortable win over Ross County is that the result was achieved without serious levels of exertion. The players were granted the freedom of Celtic Park to throw passes around and get some shooting practice in. County are the worst team we have seen for a long time, worse even than bottom side St Johnstone, who shipped seven on the opening game of the season.
You have to wonder what proponents of a bigger top flight would want us to sit through when side with such limited resources are already filling the calendar. There are not 12 ‘premier’ clubs in Scotland and Celtic winning without breaking sweat does our opponents no good.

Last Saturday week at the Tyneside Irish Centre for a Tyneside No.1 Celtic Supporters Club ’30th Anniversary’ do , Thommo told a story about MON and Lennie:
Lennie wasn’t playing so good in the first half of a match.
Mon said to him;
‘Lennie, what would you be if you weren’t a footballer?’
‘Don’t know boss!’, says Lennie.
‘No, tell me , what would you be?’ MON comes straight back at him
‘Dunno, I’d be an ordinary a bloke, a joiner or something!’ says a perplexed lennie
Thommo ups the MON norn iron accent at this point’
‘No you wouldn’t lennie, you’d be a virgin!’.
We roared laughing, great to see thommo,the spfl trophy and the supporters club- brill night

In the Lennie `Roar again` article at the side of the page, it says, ` And that form continued with a 2-1 success over Champions League conquerors Cluj where Odsonne Edouard and Mohamed Elyounoussi got the crucial goals.`
Surely that was 2-0 ?

BADA BING – do we have a plastic park at Lennoxtown? If we have 6 games a season on them then it would be a worthwhile investment.
Can see your point, but we would probably add to our injury list….changing your team to suit a pitch is ridiculous, need shot of them asap HH

As well as the entertainment afforded by all the lookalikes, that photo could be used by sociologists/geneaologists to show the remarkable facial changes which have ocurred in a relatively short time in a modern society.
