It could be a big weekend in the race for the Premiership with Celtic away to bottom club Dundee United tonight and Aberdeen at fifth placed Ross County on Sunday. The gap at the top is currently three points, with Celtic having a game in hand. Tonight’s result will give the league table a true look, at least until Sunday afternoon.
Those of us of a certain heritage cannot take a trip to Tannadice lightly. Despite seeing United relegated since their 80s peak, they were never a bad team. Even now, cut adrift at the foot of the table, they play far better football than any other team I can remember in that position.
The recent Dundee derby was a case in point. United had the lead and should have buried Dundee before the fragility which has stalked United this season caught up with them. Tonight’s game will present a different proposition. Unlike against Dundee, when they went looking to put the game to bed, United will be far more cautious against Celtic, who will have to do their usual shift against a packed defence.
Despite this, United are bottom for a reason. They’ve won two of 21 league games, are 11 points from the play-off spot and need to pull something spectacular out of the bag this month to avoid relegation.
Three points, please, Celtic.

Some clubs still haven’t agree a loan deal with Anthony Stokes.

Including US!!!!
Celtic should be in there!!!
As usual, Peter Feckin’ Liewell leaving it ’till the last minute. A day late and a dollar short. The £3m man Rod Petrie wouldn’t have let this happen…
But naw….Liewell too busy frying eggs on his heated driveway. Eggs from South Lanarkshire chickens that were worried by foxes that were never shot properly! Who is coaching our shooters??!!!
What have we become…….?
F*ck.
I would like to super confident about a win tonight, so why am I not. The way we are playing this season any result against any team would not shock me. Here is hoping for big improvement with a win and a clean sheet.

Tontine Tim,
As always, I enjoyed reading our shared memories of the ” win, lose or draw days”.
Johnny Higgins was a joy to watch. He roasted Shearer in the cup tie at CP, which, I believe ended 4-4.
John Jack was our centre half.
In the replay, Shearer effectively ended his career.
The same Shearer, as you recalled, was captain of them and, as was usual in those days, players were given their signing terms for the next season.
The bold boy proudly marched up the marble staircase to be rewarded for his leadership efforts.
Instead, he was handed his jotters.
The free transfer was not the golden handshake that it became in recent years. It is also true that he had to pay at the gate whenever he went back.
However, I think it was George Young who was manager at Third Lanark, when Huddleston ran them into the ground.
The rumour at the time was that he wanted to sell the ground to Glasgow Corporation for housing. Planning was refused and I believe still remains undeveloped.

I am in London. Gordon at Tannadice but he reports:
May 1960-sunny day – Celtic 5 Sparta ( Holland ) 1. Celtic wore numbers for first time. Their goalie wore spectacles. True!
October 1959 New floodlights opened against Wolves. Another huge crowd.
When writing about John Higgins and Alec Byrne I meant to go on and write about Frank Brogan ( he would be a star in the present side. Indeed possibly the star ) but see that someone beat me to it.
Good goal from Griffiths. We should be about 3 up.
Always thought Frank Brogan was the footballer in the family. Jim was more the workhorse.
Did Booby just book Griff?
that’s a heider!
That’s Mixu Finnished.
Goal of the season kc
Up against a shower of diving ******* *, and the refs falling for it every time .
That was a penalty for United against JF
Whit happened , on wrong article now ???¿??
Wiz it something a sed ;)

Ronny needs to have a word with Lustig and not for the first time this season he has given the ball away. allowing the opposition to score against us.also needs to replace young Mcgregor.who to me is to lightweight also young Allan has to replace Commons who is a good player but has no pace.so maybe there is a chance to sign young O Halloran who along with Griffiths will score a barrowload of goals for the hoops.
