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.

Hail Hail.
Corkcelt-keeping him for Thursday
Celtic Season Books for years, all cup tickets I can get home and away for years, overpriced crap in Celtic Park, strips, t-shirts, bedding, socks, hats, videos, books…
after all of that, I am really PISSED OFF that I can’t see my manager’s interview prior to the Lazio game that’s on Celtic TV without paying for it.
And we slag off the Huns as money grabbers – jeezo!!

FB,
no bother pal,we will catch up another time
trust me, that image of our fans in 71, is possitvely boticelli compared to a similar picture of huns of the same era.
St Stivs at 7.08 pm. There are at least two men from the Port that I can see, viz., Pat Breslin and Con Gill. They are on the left side of the photo about five “rows” from the front. Con’s brother is beside him.
Hello again all you young rebels.
That photie.
The princess just said ” hey Mick you’re in that ”
But am no saying where i am cause you’ll all laugh.

that is a brilliant spot,
Pat and the wifes uncle owney mclaughlin created the saint francis gardens at the front of the chapel, it is really a labour of love.
What strikes me about the photo is ,only two people smoking …
nobody is smiling in the picture either, its 1971, we didnt play the old huns at home that year, so is it a particular tight game, ? were celtic behind ? or, was it all a group of malcontents worried about getting 6 in a row, and dreaming of a future world were they wouldnt need to write to the Celtic view, and could instantly tell the world how we need a new left back, gemmel is finished, johnstone is a one trick pony, murdochs best years are behind him …………
och well you get the picture.
St Stivs – my uncle is in that pic – he would have been on the Greenock bus – there’s a chance I’m there or thereabouts!
There were very few colours, wearing replica tops is relatively new.
right time up for me.
its been a few days of celtic timternet goldness,
keep it lit.
Saint Stivs,
do you know the bhoys behind the Republicanartwork site,
think they are based in the Port,
some cracking Celtic tops on the site.
BTW – we didn’t call it the West Terracing – we called it the Celtic End
west terracing was the photographers description, celtic end for everyone west of the calton

Yes you’r correct, and the fans tended to wear those little
slim dark green scarves with a white pin stripe tucked under
their jackets as the ghuy bottom front right.
Great photo though and brings back some happy memories.

We had some amazing fans in the days when that photo was taken.
I can see Donovan, President Yeltsin and Charles Hawtrey.
And now I’ve seen two infiltrators in the photograph: Jimmy Reid and Pastor Jack Glass.
Good morning, friends, from a still dark but seemingly dry but windy East KIlbride.
Good morning CQN from (weather the same as EK) Garngad

Can only hope that things change down in London as that is an enormous waste of talent..

I,m like you about domestic trophies especially the League Cup this year. Make sure we WIN the League cup and it will mean at least another 6 month for Slippy G and the huns having to wait until May 2020 before the get near silverware.
The League is No.1, and a win on Thursday would give us a nice wee grip in Europe.
Ah it’s great to be a Tim. Sorry, always great to be a Tim
Don’t know if anyone saw Reporting Scotland last evening and the lead report on connection between heading the ball and dementia, MND etc. They showed a wee clip from Queen of the South football camp. The wee fella in the hoops strip scoring a goal is my grandson. Thinks he’s world famous now. Reckons the camera man must be a Tim….. well at least there’s one at the beeb!

Great stuff, 5 mins of fame, eh! Serious topic though. Hope you are all well doon sooth.
