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.

Hail Hail!

Fair enough.
You are missing the point, I never said EBT’s were illegal or that the hun did anything wrong re EBT’s, if they did do anything wrong the FTT tribunal will find on that, but they did commit a fraud when they furnished the SFA with info re players being paid by an outside agency.
That is directly against the sfa and uefa rules.
They commited fraud, and no euro licence should have been granted.
This is nothing to do with the tax cases, nada.
Nani jumped just in time. Anyone less agile could/would have gotten a sore one.
Two-footed, studs up, no control….aff.
Canamalar.
What happens to our participation in European competition when we take on the sfa in court? They have us between a rock and a hard place.
I am sure I read on here that Celtic used the EBT system but paid back anything due when Brian Quinn advised that it was not allowed..
2 0 manure
What a finish by Wellbeck. Could be game over.

Yeah your injury sounds very similar to mine. I can understand why after knee ligament damage the player is sent out to test the limb as initially you dont feel it as bad as the injury is. I walked home via the pub on mine and yes it was a little sore but only felt mild. It was after maybe an hour when I got back to my room the real pain started.
How is yours now? Mine is pretty much pain free, except on cold days and as I said before, every so often with small elevation changes, such as catching a 1/2″ drop in a slab with half the foot my ankle just gives before I have time to catch it.
I am sure the healthcare given to pro sportsmen and women is leagues ahead of us mere mortals but I was amazed at the recovery time as I normally heal very quickly. Well used to when I was a young thing :0)
2-0 man u
2-0 Man U
Well done ref – changed the game for them
Man u 2 shots at goal and now 2 up
2-0 Utd
2 attacks. 2 goals
A very unjust scoreline but you have to admire the finish for both goals
BSR
Done. Gazebo transportation being arranged as I print. DBBIA predicting better weather than the final. BJmac organising a fast train to Mount Florida, Goldstar on ticketing duty and TBB making all the necessary financial arrangements.
EC67
That was a good tip….never knew I could get that channel in my Sky package here in Germany….got on just in time to see the Wellbeck goal.
Thanks again to all who provided that info.
Hail Hail Gerry
Now that the result is safe in Man Us favour, Foy books Wellbeck for a nothing challenge
I have my own theory on why manure are winning…
I bet on citeh to win lol
Ah well 4-0 Celtic and Stokes to score first will help
Oh so Arbroath should have had a penalty – another honest mistake eh?
Soft yellow on Wellbeck more to do with ref trying to look even handed.
Why is Hart not playing?
Think he would have saved both goals
Penalty Man U
Jobo
Penalty man utd.
3-0 on the rebound!
3-0 game over
What a let down
Could this be payback forthe 6-1 game- 3-0 before halftime
Rooney again, It’s a walkover but spoilt by the ref IMO
V
Penalty to Man U after silly challenge from Kolarov
Keeper saves Rooney penalty but he heads in the rebound
Utd looking as though they will equal City’s result at OT earlier in the season
anyone else see a 6-0 coming here?
Snake Plissken
That’s not true.
The totally unbiased broadcasting corporation has no mention of such on its live text
Another indication of the sea change with Scottish tabloid hacks and Rankers financial predicament
Keevins who not so long ago was claiming he could not discuss Rankers and the tax case as it was sub judice
Now he says Rankers will HAVE to sell Jelavic as they are broke
City have the better players, utd want it more in every challenge. Heard /seen that before……
Snake
Indeed. If Ferguson had lost this game he would have been under huge pressure
Chris Foy has ensured that won’t happen due to his SPL level refereeing
manihoop
The ref has allowed Man Utd to foul at will with no hint of a card
Now where have we seen that before?
BT
You are correct BQ did advise against EBT’s, wise man
Ridiculous refereeing comments over Kompany’s red card
Two footed tackle with studs up in the midfield area by a central defender is madness, asking for trouble
Utd are the first of a wee treble up then, just need MoN’s team and Megsons up now.
Ten men
Foy is weak but he got Kompany call correct by laws of the game.
He is though like a lot of refs afraid to incur fergies wrath.
He was lenient to Giggs and Jones and probably started to fear looking biased so booked Wellbeck harshly.
Can anyone help?
What ever happened to Paul Caddis?
On that evidence, City will miss Ya Ya bigtime.
Gerry
Watching United and their 12th man Foy and it could easily be watching Rangers and Collum/Murray etc.
Kittoch
He helped Swindon to beat Wigan yesterday, as did Simon Ferry
