Aberdeen’s season fell off a cliff after they met Celtic in the League Cup semifinal in November. More recently, form has picked up. They have lost only one of their last 11 games, a 5-1 drubbing at Celtic Park, winning seven in that time. That puts them in reasonable form for the battle for European places, before attempting to deny Celtic a treble at Hampden next month.
The scale of St Johnstone’s collapse on Sunday suggests they are too fragile to mount a survival campaign. They are five points adrift of Dundee, but it’s Ross County and Kilmarnock (six ahead of St Johnstone) who are more likely to capitulate. Killie were equally poor a week earlier at Celtic Park. The prospect of making the top flight bigger by adding yet more cannon fodder is not appealing to fans of competitive sport, or TV broadcasters.
Our pal Conaire12, Fr Charlie Cavanagh, passed away yesterday – in good company! He recently retired from a parish in Greenock and was with the team in Lisbon in 67. A good pal to many here, he will be missed. Rest in Peace, Charlie.

He is certainly in tune with the board- his views on Brendan are clear
Gene, Didn’t Pat McCluskey make his debut in Milan. Did very well too.
As you say, we really should have won (and quite possibly then the big Cup again).

Yes indeed. AC Milan struggled to get past us but demolished Ajax in the final.
That said the Dutch went on to win the next four European Cups including beating us in 1970.
Celtic Mac,
Was in Amsterdam for that game against Ajax. Their supporters weren’t very friendly, to say the least.
Good morning CQN.
Why bother with two separate baits when you can catch two sets of the ‘desperate for anything’ with one?
“Celtic do something while R2ngers do nothing we’ve dressed up as something”
©️ click baiters everywhere.

Watched BBC Alba’s Jock Stein documentary last night.
Still decent viewing more than 10 years after it was made.
Quite a few of the contributors (from Dunfermline, Hibs, Celtic) sadly passed away in 2024.
