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!

BROOOOOOOONIEEEEEE………………………………..Song for Broonie ( to the Oasis ” Roll with it ” tune ) Our Captain is Scott Brown , he never lets us down , he’s our great number eight , handed Barton his fat arse on a plate , and it’s all too much for the Huns to take…. You’ll never stare him down , just ask Diouf the clown , he’s our great number eight , handed Barton his fat arse on a plate , and it’s all too much for the Huns to take…….. Now let’s all laugh at Rangers cos they died….. But Sevco keeps the comedy alive…….. Our Captain is Scott Brown …………..
What an Event today.
My name is MC Lenny touching down

What’s the weather like in Lisbon then ? ;-)
Hope all the Bhoys watching the Final today have a great day.
Also, so happy to hear that Lionsroar67 is being released today.
Not overconfident today. Aberdeen will be desperate to make up for their pathetic and gutless League Cup performance in what could be McInnes last game in charge. We will need to play well today. At least for the first 11 minutes :-)))
Here’s hoping a fantastic week for the club and the fans ends the right way.

Thunderstorm and torrential downpour to hit Glasgow this afternoon. According to reports.

Good that will have 2 benefits today.
One it will soak the pitch to help our style of attack.
And 2 it will soak the DOBS on their wee journey by all the chapels.

If Patrick Roberts feels that he has more to learn from Brendan Rodgers, then we will see him at CP next season.
If he has faith in his own ability, then a three year contract, with a clause allowing him to leave if/when a suitable offer comes in would suit both parties.
Champions League group stage will be crucial, though.
Playing pool last night in the pub against a wee zombie, I had a 3 baw plant on and the zombie pipes up ……. oooooo he’s going for the treble, without missing a beat I answered back ” Aye ra morra “.
Even he laughed , still beat me though the wee pwick.

Bateen Bhoy H H , Celtic have the better players , the good surface suits the better players , Aberdeen players are playin for a trophy the Celtic players are playin for a place in history , only one outcome for me , these players under this manager simply will not wilt , a place in history beckons , today it will become fact , COYBIG .
Good morning from a slightly hungover Lisbon
Got word for an appropriately named horse
BLESS HIM, 310 Goodwood
About 10/ 1
Hopefully pay for some champagne. .or for all you Scottish types that should say Buckfast
Bon Chance Mes Ami
Offs just remembered I’ve still to iron my XL Jock Stein t-shirt.
And before I go can I just say if Moussas fit he should start.
Love the griff, but imho the Mousse offers more to the team .
And on the bases that I know f all about football, its Griff for the first goal .
H.H
The “Lionsroar67” – Billy, is back :-))))
Dropped off at his hotel, and now getting pestered by An Tearmann an that Gowfer ACGR, who’s away to see what his shoe size is :-))
Enjoy the game Lionsroar, and stay calm
Hail Hail
Nice wee six minutes there from the British tax payers channel , on the greatest football team ever , making history for the benefit of all football fans , who enjoy being entertained rather than bored senseless , CELTIC CELTIC CELTIC CELTIC ……..
The Celtic Badge displayed on the big screen at Wembley, followed by a great wee item on the Lions’ 50th anniversary, with some fine words from players and Hugh McIlvaney.
Think a longer version is to be shown on the Sportscene build-up to the final. Well worth a look, short match highlights in colour too.
Aw naw, nothing’s perfect! Nevin on talking about it now!
Good afternoon CQN, this is the day!
Anybody got any spares?

COYBIG
In my opinion Roberts knows he will be back here next season , that’s why there has been no great emotional thank you’s and tears , although if we get them at the end of the game I will know im wrang :-(
I too would take Moussa over Griff. I mean I love the wee man, but I think Moussa scares the shyte out of defences and they most definitely would love to see him on the bench or in the stands, put the fear into them Brendan, play Moussa.If its not working give Griff at least half an hour.

First scorer ??????? This Guy …….. Song for STUART ARMSTRONG ( da doo ron ron ). Who’s the handsome laddie with the lovely hair ? , its Stuart Armstrong yea its Stuart Armstrong , Who controls the midfield with his pace and flair ? , its Stuart Armstrong yea its Stuart Armstrong , Yea…… his pace and flair …. Yea …..he’s got lovely hair….. , And when he scores a goal we’ll sing this song for ya Stuart Armstrong…..
Griff over Moussa
Nice Celtic piece on the BBC there, no tears honest guv
“Jock Stein brought talent and elements of personality to the job of managing a football team that have never been surpassed. . . . He said “these people ( Inter) are defensive, but that’s their business, but it’s not our way. We want to win this in a manner that will make every neutral happy that we’ve won it”
“And Inter,after a very short time, were playing to hang on. . . . .and Celtic of course performed in a way that you felt had to win the match. . . . They had taken a wrecking ball to Helenio Herrera’s theories about percentages and defensive football. . . . Here was the conquering of Europe by a bunch of players drawn from a wee corner of a wee nation”. Hugh McIlvaney.
On iron horse heading to the Den of Hamp.
Hail Hail.
That was on Football Focus, I meant to say.
STARRY…
I’ve had a feeling Leigh will be the main mhan today but i’m shite at predictions so…
Stretch has been so good this season I just expect him to perform,destined for big things young Stuart.
Anywho,i’ve got to make tracks,mates hoose with a cargo and some green tinted choons.
Enjoy the game mo chara,catch up after the treble’s been won. ;)

Love my wife to bits…..she is the most patient woman ever….got all my clothes out and ready for the big game today…HH to my darling Helen.
Remember when M O N took a chance and played Lubo in a cup game and he only lasted minutes , same with Moussa no need to take a chance of him pulling up , bring him on if or when we need a game changer or the game is effectively over ie after eleven mins :-)
We have followed the Bhoys every step of the way during this wonderful season now the Tommy Gemmell CSC Dunblane is Hampden bound to cheer on the Invincibles!
A sheep bus stopped in Dunblane earlier – in they came to the pub giving it all their Hunnish Can You Go a Fish Supper patter. Few of the boys put a stop to that.

“Even the Lions didn’t achieve this” ( unbeaten domestic season).
Hard to believe that even for the Lions in ’66-67 there’s a ‘but’. Comparing this season to that one is like telling a pupil who got an A in a crash course Higher “ah, but you didn’t get a 1 for your Standard Grade” *
* these may be outdated SQA awards, out of the loop these days, thankfully.
I expect the Bhoys to score a couple of goals today but also hoping but not expecting a clean sheet , so ……..Song for Craig Gordon ( sloop john B ) We’ve Gordon in goal ……… Craig Gordon’s in goal ……… You’ve nae chance of scoring we’ve got Gordon in goal. :-)
I know it’s early but I’ve poured myself a hoose measure
tae settle the nerves.
Update for the Bhoys and Ghirls in Lisbon
Apologies for late notice, but understandably
Due to situation with Lionsroar, a few Bhoys and Ghirls are now heading to another venue to watch the game
So if not left yet. We are going to the sports bar in CR7 hotel
Apologies, but important Lionsroar67 watches this with his friends around him
Hail Hail
Incidentally that wife of mine I see a Roaster :-)
Nye Bevans’ rebel soldier , Yip if someone could just press the fast forward button , cos im ready :-)

Hope the Griff has backed it! :-)
CALL CAL ( That’s Amore) When your left back goes down , don’t be stuck with a frown call McGregor , if your man on the wing , he just aint doing his thing call McGregor , If you’re missing a spark in the heart of the park call McGregor , for no matter the role he’ll chip in with a goal CALLUM McGREGOR.
Today, take nothing for granted………….
Win or otherwise, this has been an amazing Season.
