Why Hibs are a good bet tomorrow, blaming Ibrox monkeys, not the organ grinder

760

Before you get carried away, let me remind you: Our Premier League record of 25 consecutive wins in season 2003-04 came to an end at home to Motherwell, the game after a memorable European victory over Barcelona. Our 2007 win over European Champions, Milan, was followed by a harrowing game against Gretna at Fir Park, where the soon-to-be-liquidated minnows held the lead until the 87th minute.

The last 10 days have been mentally and physically exhausting for the players: a League Cup quarter-final victory, humbling Newco, then raising the bar further against Anderlecht, all three games away from home. There will be a natural drop-off in endorphins, even the coaches will find it difficult to squeeze determination to climb another summit so soon.

A home game against soft-looking Hibernian is exactly how 57 game unbeaten domestic runs come to an end.

It’s always a bit disconcerting to see the media report a story of discord at Newco, conditioned, as we were, by the blanket of control Sir David Murray shrouded news outlets with while at Oldco. Now news that Brother Pedro has banished Kenny Miller from the Newco first team squad.

Kenny is the innocent party in all of this, apparently. Troubles are the manager’s fault.

Miller, “a guy who lives and breathes Rangers (sic.)”

Miller, “a guy who lives and breathes Rangers (sic.)”

You and I both know that Pedro, Kenny and everyone else at Ibrox are woefully under-resourced to compete at the summit of the Scottish Premiership. That’s the only important part of this story, and the answer doesn’t lie on the pitch or in the dug-out on match days. At best, the person responsible for that is watching games poolside in South Africa.

All that campaigning to unseat the Easdales was for this. It’s a Brexit-style self-delusion, with an inevitable outcome.

Celtic FC Foundation, Great Scottish Run

I can’t tell you him much I appreciate the generous support ahead of the Great Scottish Run this Sunday, for the Celtic FC Foundation.  As I said yesterday, we are not only about winning trophies, and the Champions League, this club is has deep roots in helping our fellow those in need.

I’ve never made porridge in Malawi, or fed the poor in Haiti, not would I know how to engage with Autistic kids, but you and me can do our bit for those who have the responsibility of delivering help where needed.  What I can do is run on Sunday and ask for sponsorship.  If you can help, do so at this MyDonate page.

Thank you.

  1. FAIRHILL BHOY on 29TH SEPTEMBER 2017 8:38 PM

     

     

    OMG from earlier.if that’s the way you talk you should have a good listen OUT LOUD.i mean to say calling on GOD over the huns.

  2. Pre-match treble was for at least 4 goals (tick), 5 cards (2, so looking good) amn 11 corners (wot, just 4?)

     

     

    ‘mon the corners

     

     

    TheThingsIDoToRetainInterestCSC

  3. SFA Referee to the rescue. The circus has a Richmond moment.

     

    When is it our players go cap and bowed to Regan?

  4. i'vehadtochangemyname on

    well, it’s half time and I suppose natural order is resumed.

     

     

    we were quite lucky against them and they are superior to the spfl

  5. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    On Hollow Hollow they have a “Who do you back? Pedro or Miller? thread. Most posts seem to bad mouth Miller. The word Loyal gets banded about a lot in connection with Sevco supporters, why?

     

     

    Super Swally has went from… well, super Ally, to persona non grata.

     

    “Captain Courageous” Terry (the)Butcher is a big English traitor.

     

    Stuart “Jakey” McCall is an imposter.

     

    Now Miller.

     

    It’s not only people, even poor old Murray Park is being rewritten.

     

    The only person who seems immune to being turned on by the pack of wild dogs that is their support, is the Lying King. Go figure.

     

     

    They are so susceptible to historical revisionism that they probably actually believe that they really are Rangers.

  6. Pena deliberately slams the ball in with his arm. No card. No sending off.

     

     

    Now Jack IS sent off!

     

     

    The Huns should be down to NINE.

  7. From BBC website

     

     

    ‘The Gers midfielder went in on Crawford with his leg straight and his studs showing and cracks into the shin of the Accies midfielder, who rolls around the plastic pitch in agony.’

     

     

    It was only one leg so yellow would be right

  8. I don’t think the man advantage will make any difference to Hamilton because they are absolute shit*!

  9. What’s Craigen talking about? Says Hamilton now up against 10 men……surely he means 11 men……silly Billy

  10. Young Dallas forced into sending Jack off. Pena rescued by the SFA’s 4th official.

     

    When is it our players report for Regan duty?

  11. Hun Game

     

    Pena should have been red carded TWICE……but only one yellow, now subbed.

     

    Jack commits second offense and gets deserved red card. Young Dallas apologizes to Jack for the red card !!!!!!

     

    FFS

     

    Hamilton atrocious though.

  12. If Hamilton don’t go down this season then there’s sometihng terribly wrong with Scottish football at top level; they’re utterly, utterly mince. Half the team has minimal technical ability. Pub league carthorses.
