In time we will forget, but for much of Celtic’s 0-9 win at Tannadice earlier this season, Dundee United held their own and forced the champions off their game. An early Kyogo goal provoked United into action. It was Kyogo’s second, on the 40th minute, that did the damage. Before the break it was 0-4.
That game was Jack Ross’ seventh and final game in charge and eclipsed their 0-7 reversal in Alkmaar two weeks earlier. In the vernacular, United ‘chucked it’. We could expect a change in attitude when, after the players got their way, they arrived at Celtic Park in November. The visitors levelled on 87 minutes, only to be denied a point by the team that never, ever, chucks it.
Since the World Cup break, United have lost only once in six outings, a home defeat to Newco. That run took them off the bottom of the table; they are now tied on 20 points with Kilmarnock and Motherwell, three above Ross County.
Fully rested and in great form, I expect no problems for Celtic on Sunday. United can look back on their early season woes and comfort themselves with the fact that at least their 7-1 aggregate hammering came to the team currently second in the Dutch league, whereas another Scottish club had the same outcome over two games against the fifth-place Eredivisie side.

Every now and then the Celtic FC Foundation, YOUR Foundation, does something that stops me in my tracks. With the cost-of-living crisis having such an effect, from next week they will open the doors to Celtic Park lounges on Monday and Thursday evenings, when volunteers from the club and Foundation will serve food, provide warm shelter and facilities for kids to play and study.
Celtic cannot solve the problems of poverty, but opening their doors twice a week to provide warm food and shelter to the needy is an incredible act which reflects our founding principles. If you are involved in this, well done. If you can only contribute monetarily, your efforts are invaluable.
What a club, what a support. Just incredible.

Good news from the doctor – a couple of weeks ago I was concerned about one of my many moles, having seen the GP I was sent to an imaging centre. Got a text from the consultant this morning advising me that from the images the lesion seems benign and non-worrisome.
Pleased for you Gene…
Great news.

It was dealt with quickly through the urgent cancer pathway – delighted with the quick response.
Great stuff from the foundation and everyone involved
Great news Gene.
Ajax sacked their coach. They should also sack whoever authorised paying daft money for bassey.
If AC/DC are the Hunnies Metal band, we need one of our own

Something called Rangers will open their new built event space from tomorrow. 14 months after it was due open, and over spent.
I say open, they will allow access to part of it, for mugs who paid a lifetime membership fee, why someone who lost their fathers debenture seat and shares in the original company and even didnt get any monies for the services provided to the former club/company from their own businesses, would spend again on something advertised as a “lifetime”, well they probably think the new edminston house is still the same edminston house, just with different building materials
its advertised as a “cornerstone” of the 150th anniversary celebration.
masonic guff.
