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’ll repeat again: the SMSM is media for the Hun, of the Hun, by the Hun.
To spell it out for the hard of thinking: YOU are not the target audience Timmy.
The sooner you all stop watching, listening and reading the better.
With so much Celtic minded content available online, there’s really no excuse.
Response from Boyd.
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 McGregor.
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.

More and more sceptics trying to disrupt this great place. Spouting the same old crap…over and over and over and over and over and over….they must belong to some freak show cult…with nothing better to do than try to get “behind enemy lines” and cause as much disharmony and disruption as possible. We maybe should pity them, feel sorry for them….Just laugh at them…Maybe it’s not a them….it might very well be just a lone keyboard warrior, out to make this sad person feel relevant….maybe this is all they have…
Boyd has got the hump because GvB isn’t as sleekit and corner boyish as Stevie G.
I wonder who’ll throw them a bone?
Hmmmmm.

I doubt most on the blog are hard of thinking.
Sometimes something is printed , that has to be addressed by the club.
I think today was such a day and I’m glad our club called him out on it.
So, no apology from the talking ersehole.
Just ‘context and clarification’
Ram it, Kris
Boyd running scared, Why bring the mask into a discussion that the Hun players didn’t get near Callum.
Reality is Callum was in the thick of the action, recd a yellow card,
The mask wasn’t tested and that is what Boyd is on about.
no such thing as a friendly with rangers

I agree.
No doubt someone wrote the response for him and yes clearly avoiding apologising.
Pathetic.

Cats are reluctant to go after rats as a food source because the rodent is too big and too aggressive for cats

Watching the Man Utd game – I’m always impressed with McTominay. The type of player, playing the type of role, that we thought we were getting with James McCarthy. However there’s still time. He looked part of the team in the second-half when we weren’t so dominant on Wednesday night. That result could be the catalyst for him & GG – let’s hope so.

All good viewing figures it could be suggested,clicks on meeja content etc if one was a cynic.
I agree tho,ram it.its not an apology,qualifying context attempt.

Should we set up a mirror site for CQN that they get to post their wee argy-bargy politics/Galloway/Cult stuff so we can all just read about the fitba?
Thanks St Stivs
It all stems from the Alloa manager’s reference to sending players out to bite ankles. Hopefully Boidoid will be the patsy.
The commentator at the Man U game,has just said,since August 2019,Man U have had 44 penalties.
That’s an incredible stat.In two and a half seasons !!!!!!!!
There was a new world record set last night, for wee guys giving the 2nd rangers goalkeeper the vicky

For a start, he didn’t write that. Some Sun legal wrote it. Boyd spoke from the heart. Bitterly disappointed that Sevco didn’t field anyone capable of doing Callum long term harm.

If we could start calling out those who assault our staff without protection from the MIBS, that would be nice………………and The Tarbolton Scowler for his call to normalise hurting Tims………well, like “Voidy”
it’s a no brainer.

SAM THE SKULL
(Harry Hagan)
Alastair McDonald
Chorus:
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
I’ve got claws on my paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a fermers bull
I’m no the kind of cat that sat on a mat or the kind that ye gi’e a hug
I’m the kind of cat that strangles rats, and even the occasional dog
Well, I roam aroon doon Shettlestoon and they all know me by sight
“It’s the Skull! It’s the Skull!”, you can hear them yell
As they vanish in tae the night
The Polis Station doon oor way has bars on the windy sill
It’s no to keep the prisoners in, it’s to keep oot Sam the Skull
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
I’ve got claws on my paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a fermers bull
I’m no the kind of cat that sat on a mat or the kind that ye gi’e a hug
I’m the kind of cat that strangles rats, and even the occasional dog
Well, one fine day no so long ago, they all had had their fill
They sent for the R.S.P.C.A. to come and catch the Skull
Theres naebody kin get oot while he’s roamin aboot chasin all the weans up the close
Peein on the stairs scratchin his erse and sittin there pickin his nose
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
I’ve got claws on my paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a fermers bull
I’m no the kind of cat that sat on a mat or the kind that ye gi’e a hug
I’m the kind of cat that strangles rats, and even the occasional dog
Well, oot came the men aboot half past ten in their wee blue Escort van
Right roon the back, one had a sack, and the other had a mallet in his hand
I watched them run doon the back of the hoose,
Then I casually strolled tae the van
I jumped in the front and I was off, everything had gone tae plan
Ye can hear them say doon Shettleston way, “Whatever happened to Sam the Skull?
He had claws on his paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a framer’s bull.”
You can tell them for me that I’m still running free, never a day is dull
It might sound absurd, but I’m livin’ wi’ a bird in a single end in Maryhill
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
I’ve got claws on my paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a fermers bull
I’m no the kind of cat that sat on a mat or the kind that ye gi’e a hug
I’m the kind of cat that strangles rats, and even the occasional dog

‘If the alternative cult on here really wish to talk about the benefits of the Union’
###
Scotland ≠ Ireland.
Ireland ≠ Scotland.
What’s good for one is not necessarily good for the other.
Happy to be of help.
“A CULT is a group or movement held together by a shared commitment to a charismatic leader or ideology. It has a belief system that has the answers to all of life’s questions and offers a special solution to be gained only by following the leader’s rules”.
Anyone who has watched the internecine strife within the Labour Party & the Tories, over the last fifty-years would ridiculed if they called either a ‘cult’.
Now the SNP is a totally different proposition – a closer match to a ‘cult’ is hard to imagine. Murrell & Strugeon probably have an Amazon Suscribe & Save standing order for Jim Jones’s ‘Idiots Guide to Cult Behaviour’. Swinney will be in charge of the Kool Aid inventory, no doubt.
dearie me, they are all on,

Watching Abroath 1 – 0 Kilmarnock. Abroath looking good and top of the Championship. No plastic pitch it appears.
So I dont want to waste too much time on Kris Boyd, but his defence of what he said is pure shoite. Is this not the same guy that was talking about player safety and our first goal shouldn’t have counted, and now he is backtracking on what he initially said about trying to hurt CalMac.
I wanted to say how does someone like that get the job, but sadly we know why. Thank feck for Chris sutton, John Hartson, and Tom Boyd.
