As this clean sheet run has continued, every time Fraser Forster has made a good save, I’ve found myself suggesting that the defence is not playing as tightly as it used to. We quickly regard exceptional performance as the norm.
Fraser has, of course, been exceptional, again, this season. Efe Ambrose and Virgil van Dijk are fast and commanding. Virgil has a presence about him, like Wanyama, but bigger. On the flanks, despite the lack of competition, Emilio Izaguirre is performing at his best, while Adam Matthews, Mikael Lustig and Darnell Fisher have shuffled through the right back position as availability dictates.
I have a notion that Scott Brown is also worth credit for the defensive performance. He seems to have grown this season, perhaps as a consequence of fitness. This is his best season yet.
Ultimately the game is all about tactics. Any team can keep a clean sheet but 10-in-a-row (get used to reading that) is a consequence of team plan, which is where Neil Lennon comes in.
Tomorrow is the final day to confirm tickets for our CQteN St Patrick’s Day Dinner on 14 March at the Kerrydale Suite. The dinner will raise funds to build a kitchen at Kholoni Primary School in Mchinji, Malawi, where 1200 kids currently attend without food facilities. If you have lost your invoice email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com
See you there.

Watched the huddle on Celtic TV tonight. Evan Williams was the guest and his stories were top class.
From getting stitched up by Big Tam & Wee Bertie on his first day at training to hearing how Big Jock playing him when he was less than half fit against the huns because “ye’ve got the magic wand ower them Evan” (he only lost 2 games outa 18 against them) it was magic.
A great Tim from The Rock.
Go and watch it if you can.
The mighty Crystal palace in talks to sign ledley!. Looks like joe has played his last game for us!
TET, from earlier.
Some hints from Paul67 according to WC, I’ve read back and had these thoughts, we might be playing elsewhere, federating to neighbouring country mentioned, all of Scottish football that is, the SFA being disbanded, Resolution 12 coming to fruition, a mixture of all. Or something totally unrelated I haven’t picked up on.
Guess work.
@SkySportsPeteO: Crystal Palace in talks to try and sign Celtic’s Joe Ledley. #celtic #cpfc
Aye great Lhad Evan
Pity, Joe was outstanding last night.
TET
Dropped you an email
Hail Hail
Kris Boyd? There’s a reason he couldn’t score against us. I’m sure of it. I think this is my 3rd post in 3 years.
Doc
I would be about the same sort of thinking.
I imagine there are a few from the sfa who are crapping themselfs about certain info coming out.
Maybes we do have the dossier, and it’s being used as ammo, I sure as hell hope so.
HH
Guess work and wishful thinking.
I found it surprising that Joe played if he’s for the off, why take that chance. Great piece of skill last night.
@celticfc midfielder Dylan McGeouch moves to Steven Pressley’s Coventry City on loan until the end of season.
@DMcGeouch @SkySportsNews
Off to Benidorm:-)
Paolosboots, it was, missed the editors cut from the highlights though.

Guys, looking for info on Rome,
Anyone stayed at either Mario de Fiori 37 Hotel or Canova Tadolini suites ?
My Ghirls taking wife in May for her 50th.
Also looking for input, to be there for Sunday Mass they will need to fly from Manchester, is this worth it ?
Note flying from Edinburgh or Glasgow, they miss both Sunday and Wednesday blessing, though, they will be being shown around by a young Cowiebhoy who is a deacon, and will be ordained in June, so will see plenty
Thanks in advance
Hail Hail
profq you a hun ?
Be sad to see joe leave and to crystal palace of all teams, relegated this season playing in the championship next. Where’s these guys ambition same with hooper and wanyama. HH
Cowiebhoy was always told a dispensation is given for traveling when heading over to Ireland :-) A lot of hassle to get to Manchester, watch out for taxi drivers switching notes my friend fell for that one.
Ledley to Palace?
Cannot see it.

Don`t be too disconsolate. It wa only on Sky News after all. They are very often wrong. As, indeed, is any channel which tries to give “news” nearly every hour of the day day.

Selhurst Park is supposedly haunted, but in need of a replacement ghost.
Small Swinger Davies got a sevco top on under his bhs blazer.
BBC Website:
Celtic have made a fresh bid for one of their signing targets, but manager Neil Lennon says the player in question is not Wolves striker Leigh Griffiths.
“We did put a bid in today for a player,” he told BBC Scotland after his side swept aside Kilmarnock 4-0.
“It’s a different player and we’re waiting on confirmation of that being accepted.”
hun skelper
Ambition disnae put a Ferrari in the garage>)
I’m with you on joe hun skelper – I think he’s a gem and very unsung.
Billy Davies is another rat faced hun, who is incapable of smiling when his team score,a la Kris Boyd.

Come doon aff the ceiling :))
It’s sad that useless nothin clubs like Norwich, palace , Southampton can sign our top players. Sky tv money has a lot to answer for. The way things are goin in a few years time teams in the championship in England will be takin our top players.
