Tomorrow Celtic have a Scottish Cup tie away to Peterhead, currently second bottom of the Third Division. Peterhead have recorded their only two home wins of the season in the last two weeks, so Celtic’s scouts will have seen them at their best, but the break from league action will allow Neil Lennon to rest players who have been carrying niggling injuries, including James Forrest, whose terrific form could be jeopardised by the stresses of carrying such a prominent responsibility for Celtic.
The game in Peterhead will also give fringe players an opportunity to shine. I suspect Paddy McCourt is still carrying the can for hitting the post against St Johnstone in August, the day it all started to go wrong. We’ve missed him. Emilio Izaguirre and Kelvin Wilson would also benefit from 90 minutes football as the squad reassembles itself, although the game might come too soon for Kris Commons.
News that Beram Kayal’s injury is likely to keep him out of action for four months was sickening. This is the third serious injury Beram has suffered since joining Celtic 18 months ago. I read a bit about grade 3 eversion ankle sprains yesterday. He’ll need the best treatment and recuperation in the days and months to come.

1-0 Rooney
Canamalar.
All we have to go on us the small tax bill that they have paid. Until their use of ebts is judged to be illegal what can anybody do about it?
United 1 up from their first attack
Rooney heider scores. !-0 manure
Terrific header by Rooney in off the underside of the bar.
No way a red card
Kompany straight red

sorry mate that’s a red card every day of the week, except in scotland of course.
Man U are the Huns of English football
When in trouble the refs come to their aid
Never a sending off
Is there any point in playing the game when that is deemed a red card!
Cannot agree Masty- he never touched him- booking at most
THM,
how long has the wee tax case been going on for ???
This investigation is the result of a completely seperate investigation.
As TET said regardless of legality of EBT, the sfa/uefa rules have been broken on how players are paid.
Had the plc been serious about this, the sfa would be in court looking at bankruptcy.
Time to shutsown the sfa, wipe the slate clean and start again.
never a red, awful decision, yellow at the very most and that would still have been harsh
McInally is a massive Celtic fan. Usually waits outside the Gazebo pre match.
His quote , if accurate, is pure devilment and more likely a dig at elbows than anything else.
He also provided one of the best celebrity watching moments pre match, with the legend Danny McGrain, ever.

2 feet of the ground in a scissor movement, red card, if that was against us everyone of you would be shouting from the roofs.
Giggs’ tackle there on Aguero was worse than Kompany’s
Stonewall yellow card for Giggs there
Unsurprisingly the ref just gives the foul
without hearing it, that is my take on it!
A two footed tackle in the vacinity of another player isnt a red- look at Nani’s reaction- he didnt even think it was a foul
Tet.
I was being sarcastic about the advice. You’re a guy you can have a decent discussion with.
As for ebts, I sign ebt payment forms in work for coworkers every month. They are legal. The rangers use of ebts is being investigated at the moment. Let’s see what happens after the results of the ftt are published.
If one of the Peterhead players puts Big Vic out for a few months after a wild tackle, i wonder what the attitude towards McInally will be then?
Re man utd/city red card……he was on is backside,out of control. If his leg was planted its a leg breaker. Don’t be surprised at it being red………
unless its elbows.

it is the intention and the refs interpretation mate….
Is the Manc’s derby match on TV? Rather watch that than the currants.

Gerry if you get it….

Agueron chopped by Jones. No card
The ref is quite simply allowing Utd to boot City off the pitch

as soon as tam gets back to me i will let you know more…
Ten men won the league
Jones and Giggs both deserved yellow.
Kompany was dangerous so ref correct.
Ref is afraid of fergie so will approach both teams differently
