Was it really almost 15 years since the only time Celtic beat reigning European champions? A late goal from Scott McDonald in October 2007 was enough to secure a 2-1 win over Milan in the Champions League. Two other Scottish clubs had already achieved this (Rangers and Dunfermline, both who beat the 1967 European champions), recording a mark the great Stein sides never did.
The reason I mention this to you is that in the days that followed we were glowing in our new European status. Then we visited Fir Park. It wasn’t even Motherwell we faced, it was Gretna, a team from 90 miles south of ML1 who did not have the facilities to compete in the top flight, so travelled the M74 for home games.
Gretna were leading until 85 minutes, when goals from Chris Killen and another late McDonald winner calmed our nerves.
We are now glowing at our great win and performance on Wednesday night. ‘We shall not be moved’ from the top of the league is the claim. I heard the same chant from Dingwall on Saturday when Newco took a 2-3 lead; chants don’t win points. The next game is always the biggest one and for Celtic, the next two, both on the road, are crucially important.
Players are not machines, they cannot climb the mountain every time. There will be an inevitable fall off in adrenalin at Fir Park. There are 14 games remaining, seven away from home, every one a cup final in itself. An acre of Lanarkshire is the stage for our next trophy. Win and keep belief alive that not by the Hearts, the Hibs or the The Rangers, we shall not be moved!

I have fought the Tories and the SNP all my adult life, as a Labour campaigner, fund-raiser, member & voter. I quit when Commie Corbyn arrived on the scene – there may be a time when I will return…..the enemies will still be the same.
Correction
You and racist George thought you would get back into the Labour Party after “commie corbyn” said no thanks to racist George after racist George was not allowed to rejoin the Labour Party after George whored himself to racism.Naz Shan you must remember her
Or like all good racists has racist George adopted the ancient British custom of historical amnesia.
Strasserist and topic whore if he thinks it’ll get him elected
Funny how Jeremy corbyn was subjected to all this psuedoleft but really shallow right wing invective.
Refugees are welcome
Racism like yours not welcome
Do share which fascistic cult you follow
Surely its not that offshore funded workers party
It’ll end up like one of Georges charities,
He can always marry again.tramp

Over egged, perhaps. But not cooked up.

Darren east kilbride.
We played into celtic hands, they played mind games with mcgregor, the disco lights are spooky, celtic were up for it, everything walk on, huddles, already beat,
I was behind enemy lines so to speak
and how so
“well iwas on duty”
lol
hurtin polis hun, lol
That Matt O’Riley sounded quite posh for a footballer.
Not that that bothers me as long as he keeps doing his stuff.
Not quite as posh as Stuart Armstrong though but Fraser Forster as a judge’s son would be the captain of our alll time Celtic Toffs XI.
Must be a place for Maloney as a pilot’s son as well.
Being a modern man I do what my wife tells me and i aint allowed to watch the big tv highlights if i have been to the match and am banished to the kitchen, suits me fine.
However, when I was flicking through the channels and the bold matt was being interviewed she stopped and said och ok you watch it if you want.
h,mmmm
oh oh oh oh
laugh, i nearly paid my license fee
Was great to see the Bhoys beat that dirty hun club. Looks like our manager is getting one helluva team together.

Only the cat will get rid of the rats.
Iluminatti puppets songs are full of lies & bs
As much as Boyd enjoys winding us up, even he wouldn’t have suggested we’d struggle to finish in the top six earlier in the season.
Well George knows how to play the cat – how is Rula – meow
That’s what the comment was about Gene, glad your awake. 👍
Boyd is the bitterest of the bitterest Huns
I don’t mind banter even when it comes from Huns but Boyd crossed the line.
What he wrote was disgusting , He deserves sacking & a visit from Plod.
I am delighted that Celtic are taking action, this can’t be left lie,

I was watching a rerun of the game this afternoon. My wife came in and said, “You watching the game again?”
“The thing is dear. Outside the stadium they sell a wee bottle of special green pills. If you take one at night, when you wake up in the morning you can’t remember anything about the game. Don’t tell me the score.”
Tim alone will tell
Happy Birthday mate,Ange sent you a wee prezzi on wed night,with best wishes from me too.hope you had a good day.

What do you think Celtic will do Corky?
Whilst Celtic raise their concerns on the bitter pundit,
I hope they also rise the exact same with Sky on the shows host, who at halftime, referred to the Celtic Fans as
“That lot in Here”
Wouldn’t let either back in our door
I suppose it was at least a red cat suit – looked ever bit the statesman.
Tim Malone
Very H888py Birthday

I’m sure Peter Lawwell will be delighted to get his medal. :)
Cats are reluctant to go after rats as a food source because the rodent is too big and too aggressive for cats.

Perhaps – but regardless the appetites within the SNPcult politburo needed to be sated, one way, or, another. They wanted ‘Salmond on toast’, but ended up with ‘egg on their faces’

Yeah it was all about the money raised folk dress up as batman and run marathons money went to good cause and not the made up guff that Saint Stivs will try to lie about because there’s no charity at SNP as the money usually disappears into thin air.

I was going to join in and continue basking in the glow of the best Derby performance for a few years now. Unfortunately, the blog has again been taken over by a few telling everyone what to think and do and accusing those who disagree of being stupid and or sectarian. They actually sound like a cult. Strange hypocrisy that.
AN TEARMANN on 4TH FEBRUARY 2022 7:24 PM
He was lamenting the fact none of the Rangers players “tested” CalMacs mask.
ie – Calling for an assault on our Captain.

Been out the Cqn loop for a we while now but what an experience Wednesday night was !
Atmosphere cracked Celtic tackled and the Free scoring Rip roaring football was an absolute pleasure !
Big Ange is the most articulate forward thinking progressive coach we have had for a wee while and he has bought into the Celtic ethos big time as it coincides with his own philosophy.
Very exciting times ahead loving it !
As for THAT Rugheid methadone Mick bawrash Boyd the muppet was quick to scream “ no goal head knock ! Ref has to consider players welfare “ then a day later advocates Sevco players deliberately and directly participate in illegal Head challenges which are deemed as endangering an opponent resulting in lengthy bans and potential criminal action.
Nasty dangerous No mark who is using his position as a pundit for his anti Celtic rhetoric .
His association with that Piece of arse paper the S£& and the printing of his rancid views does not surprise me one bit ! They are a perfect fit .
HORRIBLE SCUM ALWAYS WITH AN AGENDA !!!
Hail Hail n Nsno 🍀
Update from The Sun……
MY Old Firm column in today’s Scottish Sun appears to have irked some Celtic supporters.
Therefore I think it’s right that I add some context and clarification to a reference I made about Callum.
I wrote: “The fact he managed to get through the 90 minutes without anyone testing out that face mask is another story, but his commitment to the team was tremendous.”
Some have taken that line to mean I wanted one of the Rangers players to intentionally try and hurt the midfielder.
However, that is absolutely and unequivocally NOT the case.
It was simply meant as a criticism of the Rangers players for their failure to get close to McGregor.
