We want a win, but let’s not kid ourselves

964

We are almost week on from Morton (our only mustn’t lose game in March) but there will be a business-like atmosphere around Lennoxtown today as the team prepare to go to Ibrox, scene of three consecutive wins since Newco were promoted to top flight football.  Brendan and his players are all too aware of the big talk coming from Murray Park.  If ever they needed motivation, they didn’t need to look far.

Fans of either colour, who have been around long enough, will recognise the occasion, but this is not the way you and I used to feel about going to Ibrox.  Back in the old days I preferred to go there as slight underdogs, which was often as good as it got for Celtic fans.  Now, we travel to every ground in the country as strong favourites, no matter what our form.  This is nothing like it was in the pre-liquidation years.

I want to win, of course, but I would have been devastated if we’d lost to Morton.  Sunday’s game cannot reach me the same way.  This is a step on the road to what will hopefully be a treble, don’t pretend it is about winning the league, it’s just not.

****CQN Last Man Standing 10 – Kicks off tonight with a 7pm deadline for entries. No more sleeps!!!!****

    It’s always going to be Grayskull for me. After sooooooooooooooo many debates on here, I think the final conclusion was that both could be deemed acceptable for the monstrosity.

     

     

    BTW. Cracking post yesterday about family.

    Soory to hear about your troubkes but if you can overcome the runs from Algarve to Lisbon you can beat a run up Great Western Road.

     

     

    Stay well Gary. BTW Old Tim is looking for you re 25th May!!

     

     

    Strong midfield today Celtic and we will take all the points.

    Thank you, I think this place is a wee god send, as long as we keep it civil (myself included :-) ye canny beat it, as for snake mountain / greyskull I have always preferred the “bigotdome” it sums the place up perfectly for me :-)

  9. Big day for Brendan and the hoops. Big day for LittleMissNi, she’s the team mascot. Wish her luck!

  10. BBC Site.

     

    Headline was that:

     

    “Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor says Rangers “might fancy their chances” in Sunday’s Old Firm derby.

     

    The Premiership leaders go into the game with a six-point lead and a game in hand over their rivals.

     

    McGregor, who has never lost an Old Firm derby at Ibrox, said the chance to stretch their lead in the league was “a big incentive”.

     

    Asked about Rangers players cheering the Scottish Cup draw, he said “maybe they’re excited to be playing us”.

     

    Where does our Bhoy say that they might fancy their chances ?

    Good luck today Bhoys- let’s destroy this new myth

     

     

    Hail Hail

  14. Delaneys,

     

    Ha !

     

    Your cunning plan ? Nae as good as mine. Changed the name of my team for LMS hoping it would bring me more luck ( just caused more work for Jobo and CRC ). First round, new strategy, pick a ‘little’ team who should win easily so I have all the big guns in reserve for the later rounds.

     

    Motherwell, FFS :-)))))

    Just seen that last post

    I was once very dependent on a J, or if that wasn’t available, a drink to get a decent nights sleep. Gave up the blaw four years ago (along with the fags), after a brain haemorrhage. I now sleep the best I ever have, with the benefit of a prescribed drug called Amitriptyline. I relate this tale to offer you a last resort if your sleep problems persist.

    Chiesa di San Zulian (Giulliano) just off st. Marks square. May have started by now

  25. Biggest hope for today is that everyone is safe and returns home to family and friends tonight.

     

    Fitba’-wise, obviously, any win today, but the bigger the winning margin, the better.

     

    Moussa returning to something like the form of last season, and should be too good for them. Not going to try to second guess Brendan with team selection, but whoever he picks, if all other things are equal ( I know ) we should be nine points clear by 2pm today.
