Two significant goals

729

Nir Bitton’s goal was special but two goals last night were more significant.  Leigh Griffiths header for the first belied the player’s height and stature.  His scoring record with his head in recent months has been spectacular, whether darting into space to nick the ball goal-wards, as he did away to Dundee and Dundee United, or when he uses his salmon-leap to get up and stay up.

When he was at Livingston Leigh was the next hot young thing.  For whatever reason his path to the top wasn’t straight, but he’s now first choice striker at Scotland’s top club and making the most of it.

James Forrest’s goal was also full of what we want to see from him.  One-on-one with a defender, with space to run into, he did what he needed to do.  His pace took him past the defender and turned an opportunity into great chance.

Several players are finishing the season strongly.

  2. Getting really fed up with the comments on League reconstruction.There will be none this year.

     

    Anyone think otherwise,I will take any bets.Put your money up or stop talking nonsense just for the sake of it.

     

    Absolute drivel.No offence.

    Third and fourth play each other, then the winner plays Hibs, then the winner plays Motherwell. Six games if the Hun’s make it via loads of honest mistakes!

    He’s the answer

     

     

    If he is the answer,what was the question?.

     

    Lets hope he gets the job full time.A trumpet.

    So if they beat QoS they play Hibs over two games and if they win that they play second last placed team in the SPFL.

     

     

    And if they win that, they’re crowned European champions?

  6. For the playoffs , Bro McLean will need to be brought back.

     

     

    I confidently predict that his eyesight will be full restored and expect him to see penalties and red cards — to help the Ibrox XI

     

     

    Ogilvie is deep in the dungeons of Hampden lining up the refs for the play offs.

     

     

    Don’t be surprised to see McLean, Madden, Dallas JNR, Alan Muir and the only ref in the world with eyes in the back of his head Collum to be the chosen ones.

     

     

    I have a funny feeling the corinthinian spirit of Queen of the South will see off the Ibrox club….

    I obviously got them in India to show I’m a Celtic supporter

  11. Gerryfaethebrig on

    As much as I hate to type about that new mob with all their “help” they managed 3rd place in the championship as far as I am concerned they won’t even play the 11th team in the Spl, on matters more important mon Dundee Utd some pals were saying they’d prefer to to win it on the park ? I think Ronnys team have been winning on the park most of the season, winning a league seems to get better ever year

    I thought I saw you folding the Kano foundation flag at the end of the game last night behind me and then I thought “no they are down behind the goal”

    Those kids really did enjoy the game last night they screamed and shouted from start to finish. well done to you and all involved moulding our support for the future :-)))

     

     

    A great day and night yesterday and brilliant time in the BV prior to kick-off …..too many cqners to mention but great company followed by a great game………..

    Didnt think I could have this much fun with Celtic not playing.

     

     

    I also follow Brentford down here – went from 8th at one stage today up to 5th – and got a play off spot.

     

     

    Now what else could happen to make today even better :-) :-)

  17. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    I’d just like to say congratulations to Wills n Kate.

     

     

    A blessing indeed.

    St brides parish church cambuslang at 10am this morning – church adorned with beautiful flowers and hearts in preparation for a wedding this afternoon

     

     

    Lovely hymns this morning reminding us that may is the month of Mary .

  19. I see sevco managed to cheat their way to 3 rd place play off.

     

    Nothing changes.

     

    After being undecided about renewing my season ticket last confirmed to me that I’m kidding myself on. One of the most enjoyable nights I’ve had at CP in a long time.

     

    Not the biggest crowd, however everything was just great , performance, atmosphere, the whole evening was just magic.

     

    I think Ronny could become a very special manager for us and I want to be there to witness it.
