Tomorrow’s Scottish Cup final is Celtic’s biggest game since Seville. Having banked our 100th trophy, and an invincible league title, the opportunity to achieve a clean sweep of domestic trophies without loss of a single game is wholly without precedent. Even the Lions didn’t achieve this.
We are in an incredibly special season, an incredibly special time, for the club. When anything seems possible, it is hard to properly evaluate just how well things are going. We have had many title winning seasons, but the club’s trajectory, not to mention the sheer enjoyment of what we’re watching, has seldom come close to this season.
We face the club who have pushed us most in recent years at Hampden. They will arrive rightly believing they can win the trophy. It will be a huge task for Aberdeen, , but the odds on them taking the cup back north with them will be considerably less than those against Celtic completing an undefeated season a year ago.
Congratulations to the Celtic FC Foundation and everyone at the club who contributed to the incredible event at The Hyrdro last night. The scale and sheer professionalism of the night belied the fact that everyone involved were miles out of their comfort zone.
It was an incredible Celtic event. Thanks also to the performers who donated their time to the Foundation for free.
See you later at Greenock!

We are going for the quadruple today…..
The League Cup
The SPFL
The Scottish Cup
…….and Pedro’s Mini League.
Taken from Glasgow afternoon RAG today,
“CELTIC supporters have been urged not to march to Hampden as part of a celebration ahead of the Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen today.
The Evening Times understands that the supporters group The Green Brigade had planned to march to the national stadium to mark the achievements of the club’s first season under Brendan Rodgers.
Police Scotland, however, have said in their advice to supporters that they should not congregate together in public areas.
This comes in the wake of the Manchester terrorist attack which killed 22 people this week.
In a statement, the force said: “Supporters are asked to show consideration for the general public given the recent event in Manchester and refrain from demonstrating any behaviour which includes congregating in large numbers in crowded places such as major transport hubs, which could frighten members of the public that something has happened.”

Many thanks and enjoy the day
HH
Going by the above Police “Advice”…will they move on Sheep supporters IF more than 6/7 gather in one place /
What happened to all the ” We will carry on as usual crap from PM May etc” ?
HH
Move along,nothing to see here.
At Noon today an Orange walk will start off and proceed along routes that will take in,Gallowgate area,Parkhead Cross,Dalmarnock,you get the drift.Now,there is no way this will not clash with the Celtic fans on route to our National Tip.Just who gave permission for this powderkeg march to take place.Our previous Glasgow Labour Council.
Looks like a recipe for disaster.
BSR
So sorry I missed you in Lisbon – but when you’re bevvying for18 hours a day, maybe I didn’t.
HH
Like to add my thanks to ACGR for organising the golf
A great day was had by all
Currently listening to Teuchter and BMCUWP discussing the pub choice for the game!
My input ‘and the Glasgow Celtic will be there ‘
RE,the last post about the Hun parade.Why did plod not step in and change these routes?.

What they’re saying is, if they cant stop us achieving the treble, they’ll do their damnedest to stop us celebrating it. Feck them.
For the avoidance of doubt…….. I’m not suggesting that ole BSR was the one with 18 hour bad habits :-)
Morning,all.
Last full day in Lisbon for me and my Dad,wonder what we can do to fill the hours…
This has been a wonderful trip,everything has surpassed -our high!-expectations. And the people have done their bit too,pleasant,polite,helpful at all times.
Gonna take me a week to recover,and the rest!
Delighted to hear LIONROARS is joining us today,hopefully we can put on a show.
Everyone who has been here,thank you for your company. And a particular thank you to BRT&H and everyone else who helped with organisation.
HH,yer all stars!!!!
Celtic will be “on it” Today.
Thunder and Lightning Might just be there for the PARTY.

Have they given the same advice to the non provocative Orange Walkers the day…
I think we all know the answer to that..

Disgraceful.As I have just posted,at the same time there are 6 Orange Parades through Glasgow,one along the routes thousands of Celtic fans will be taking for the final.

Doesn’t matter mate. Don’t let their hatred upset you.
The one thing we need to do is transcend all that hate. Over the last few days our differences with them and their bile has been never more emphasised.
Hail Hail.
Big Jimmy , yup post match celebrations cancelled , and all the other changes are giving the Extremists further victory’s in my opinion , carrying on as normal allied to common sense is the best way forward , minimise their impact not maximise it :-(
Strange.
Police have advised the Green Brigade not to march to Hampden , in case of a terrorist attack, but an orange march can take place.
Very strange.

If not, why not. Would be a perfect excuse to eradicate them from our streets – blame it on the Muslims. That would really feck them off.
Thunderstorm and torrential downpour to hit Glasgow this afternoon. According to reports.
HH
Would like to take this opportunity to once again thank BRTH for organising the Lisbon trip.
The amount of time and effort required must have been incredible.
The Gala Dinner
The stadium visit
The street party
The Lisbon Polo Shirts
Incredible achievement from BRTH
Thank You

Just reading back. Lionsroar67 is fortunately able to fly home on Thursday and his sister is going out to accompany him and bring him back. Winning Captains and myself were just discussing various options last night which included going out to get him and bring him home by car or accompanying him on the flight home, if required.
Brilliant to catch up with you and your daughter ( I will not even attempt to try and spell her name :-) ) in Lisbon. Pencil in Saturday 17th June, as a wee summer CQN beer gathering.
CQN Lisboa17 will now have a special place in my memories
A big thank you must be given to BRTH. This trip was “astonishingly brilliant”

With all the financial cutbacks you might think a violent rammy would be a good thing to finish the orange farce for good , but who knows , was it 5mil out the public purse to police these events ?
CALTONTONGUES
I’ve been away half my life and it stills smacks ma gob how this shite still goes on and how GCC always give them permission to walk through Celtic heartlands when we’re playing, they’ll do anything to tarnish our supports name.
Trying now to rise above it and get back to being excited about the game.
If it goes off today we’ll get the blame and bot one finger will be pointed at the lunatics who section these kind of days..
HH
Celtic will score 5 today.
You heard it here first :-)
I wasn’t aware of any orange feckin walks today of all days.
For such walks to be allowed to go ahead when 10s of thousands of Celtic fans in the City is unbelievable ?
Whoever on Glasgow Council and The Police who can ALSO have such things cancelled due to public safety, they should be feckin sacked !
If anyone gets hurt, then it’s Glasgow Council and the Polis with blood on their hands.
CRC you back home?
G’day Celtic mhen and lhadies.
AnTICipation at maximum,cannot wait for the game,feel like a wee bhoy again.So,even with total belief in Brendan and a team full of matchwinners the nerves still kick in and your mind veers off into possible heartache scenarios…only to be quickly replaced with the surety of images from what our bhoys have performed like so far this season and the feeling they’ll see us through.Roll on kick-off.
Have to say,big game kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday….it’s how it always should be.
COME ON YOU BHOYS IN GREEN!
Anyway lets have a song :-) Do you know Mr Griffiths hates being called Leigh? , Bet he would love being called THE GREEN GOAL MACHINE , so……….Song for Griff ( Skippy the bush kangaroo Tune ) Griffiths , Griffiths , this bhoy was born to wear the ghreen…… Griffiths , Griffiths , Griffiths the green goal machine…… :-)
mon the broonie !

Stretch for the first goal, I have a feeling he’s going to run the midfield today!
Re the Orange knuckledragathon, if you happen to see any just laugh at them. They are an irrelevance, a sad relic of Scotland’s shameful past. Today belongs to us. The city belongs to us. The future belongs to us.
Afternoon Celts
Hunbelievable.
Got up early, shower and shave, and then put my beautiful Celtic top on.
Go out to see my mate, get on bus….three stops later, hun gets on, King Billy cap on….I blanked him.
Getting off the bus….this idiot says to me, Fk the IRA.
Now….i will paraphrase…I said, Why dont you get off the bus, and we can have a chat about this……i did say though, …i will put you on your arse in 2 seconds flat:)
Different story then….head down.
Unfortunately for him….i will bump into him.
New Lisbon top on, next minute…..zombie appears.
FFS:)
HH
So we cany march to hamdump then.
Ok
We will just March with O’Neill then.

Added to the fact of the thousands of Sheep in Glasgow today, cos I don’t think The Sheep and Huns get on to well usually.
All this and the feckin Polis “WARN” Celtic fans about possibly frightening the public ?
HH
what’s great about the 50th anniversary is the celtic community are writing/recording the history not another communtiy
