There will be goals

733

Dundee have played 12 games since losing 6-0 at Celtic Park in September, scoring in all but one of those occasions. Only Celtic and Aberdeen have kept them out in 21 games this season. They lost five last time out to Ross County (scoring twice), but scored four against Accies the week before. Season tickets at Dens are excellent value for money. There will be goals when Celtic visit tomorrow.

Kane Hemmings scored five of their six goals against County and Accies. He’s a direct player who makes runs from deep into space but a large portion of his goals come as a consequence of defensive errors. In short, he appears to run at defenders in anticipation of them making a mistake, not a wholly unproductive strategy for strikers playing against Celtic this season.

Ronny Deila will be keen Celtic build on the positives from Tynecastle, although the on-going absence of Leigh Griffiths will be a concern. I reckon we would have seen Carlton Cole at some point against Hearts if it were not for the plethora of injuries which restricted the manager’s options. Hearts had done their homework on Nadir Ciftci, who was well marshalled throughout. He can expect a similar night tomorrow.

Partick Thistle’s role in the title race will come into focus over the next week. They are on an excellent run ahead of tomorrow’s visit to Pittodrie at Saturday’s game at Celtic Park, having won their last four league games. You can win two Premium Seat tickets in the Jock Stein Stand for Saturday’s game, courtesy of Magners, if you answer this question:

Who was the last Partick Thistle manager to win four consecutive top flight games?

Email your answer in the SUBJECT line to celticquicknews@gmail.com before 17:00 tomorrow (30th). My Partick Thistle knowledge is limited, so editors decision if final……

    I think us Celtic supporters are a bit unfair at how some of the players do not appear to be getting involved in the football on the pitch even a waterlogged one.

     

    Neither does the manager.

     

    Neither do the coaching staff.

     

    Neither do the board

     

    Neither do the executives.

     

    Come on.

     

    There are more important things to consider such as Old firm cash bonus split next season.

     

    Football? celtic? bah humbug.

     

    Money! Money! Money!

     

    in a repugnant old firm world

     

    Money, money, money

     

    Must be funny

    Money, money, money

     

    Always sunny

     

    In the rich man’s world

     

    Aha-ahaaa

     

    All the things I could do

     

    If I had a little money

     

    It’s a hun eat hun rich mans world.

    D..none of the above

  7. Didn’t see any comment on this last night or this morning but an interesting result at Falkirk Stadium last night. The Bairns are now joint 2nd in the championship with a 3 goal advantage over the Hibees.

     

     

    This now makes it a 3 horse race and a bit more interesting. The latter are at home tae 4th place Raith on Saturday with the Bairns away tae lowly Alloa in the late game.

     

     

    Sevco are away at the Cheaper Insurance Direct Stadium although they shouldn’t run intae too many problems there in that hun infested part of Dumbarton.

     

     

    The current kit man with the Rock recently posted pictures of himself smiling and with his arms around the “Loaf” as he called him.

     

     

    Seems strange as he has quite the Timmy sounding Our Lady and St Pats name.

    If the SPFL take Change their rule book to make it fit in with UEFA/FIFA on racist/sectarian chants etc. the club that will suffer the most is Celtic.

     

     

    The OB act now means some songs sung at games by our fans are seen as equally offensive and unlawful as any being sung in Govan the other day.

     

     

    Mark my words, any change in the rules wll affect our club more than any other.

    Great. Let’s have it

     

    Why not an African American.

     

    It was a trick question you see.

    Balde berry, pranged his kite, right in the how’s-your-father.

     

    Hairy blighter, dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy,

     

    took a waspy, flipped over on his Betcha Hooper’s and caught his can in the Bertie Auld.

     

    Now grab your egg and fours and let’s get the bacon delivered.

    WITS

     

    there lots of cases like the Tuscon Buddhist temple massacre in the USA

     

    You should listen to the serial podcast of Anand Syed. A baltimore muslim convicted of murder in 1999. It is so informative on so many levels.
