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.)”
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.

Did you see fat Traynor in the tunnel?

How did we beat them last week. Some team I tell ye. Pedro has found the formula and must stay.
No wait a minute …
We are now all aboard the kayak …

welcome back lennie
night night y’all
Just noticed the Accies goalie turned his back for the 2nd goal….ffs
Been away for a while, however I wonder why we care about what they do.
Look to our own performances, they will always be allowed to appear as if they are challenging.
What is more challenging is the fact that the Manky Mob go along with it.
Sutttttiiiiieeeee

Was Hamilton’s performance tonight the worst in the history of the Premier League? Totally embarrassing. No wonder they laugh at our game down in England. They dwelt on the ball all night, spent most of the time giving it straight to Rangers players or falling on their arses. Shocking. Couldn’t even do the basics properly and as for the ref, Dallas Junior and that pitch. Good God.
Anybody got a spare adult and child ticket for tomorrow let me know as the niece has arrived wanting to go to the game .LOVE
My iPad screen has been reduced by about a third due to an advert for William Hill running along the top and bottom of the screen. Anyone else got this?

No problems on laptop.

I think your being soft on Hamilton ;-)
Yes I got that William Hill advert. I turned off JavaScript and when I refreshed the page it had disappeared.
Just heard of the sudden death of a young man of 31 – Ben Parkes who leaves a partner and 2 young children – there will be a minutes applause at Stoke tomorrow. I knew Ben for doing a few boiler installations for me – as well as being my go to guy for all things gas – really sad. Your prayers would be appreciated.
RIP Ben
Gene. Prayer will be said for your friend Ben. RIP.

RIP

Very sad news.
May your friend Ben rest in peace.
Will say a prayer for those he leaves behind.
God help them.
Night all
Ben – sleeping with the angels
Kevin “Spock” Thomson :-))
Wonderkid Ross (Der Kaiser) McRorie has played a part in conceding three goals and has given away a penalty in two games. Wowser.

Anderlecht v Celtic analysis. Now the main event is over :)
Let us remember the one and a half million “British” citizens who died and the one million who fled the reign of terror in Ireland which was to lead to the great hunger, there was no famine, the ports in Ireland were bursting at the seems with food being exported by the English landed gentry and their agents, the Irish were reduced to depending on the potato crop because the corrupt foreign tyranny had dispossessed them of their lands and civil rights and all their annual produce had to go to pay rents to the absentee English and Scottish landlords( yep the very same people who stole the land from its rightful owners) In Irish it is called An Gorta Mor (The great hunger) God sent the potato blight but England sent the famine.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I didn’t write this, but I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. The famine was an act of gross negligence at the very least – and maybe even an act of genocide.

I see Efe is saying the Hibees will come and have a go tomorrow. Music to my ears to be honest. The last thing we need is team sitting in deep and making it difficult ala St Johnstone. It could well be a great game but could also be a sore lesson for Hibs if they are over ambitious. It’s not Sevco they are playing, if they leave the likes of Whittaker exposed it could get ugly.
Strange game tomorrow.
I want good skilful football , a closely fought exciting encounter and , of course , three points for Celtic and a narrow loss for Lenny .
Lenny .Once a Tim , always a Tim.
The crowd reactions , on both sides , to Leigh should prove interesting.
As should Leigh`s reactions to the crowd . On both sides.
A celebration , with any luck.
The Tim Reaper
I think it will be a good game tomorrow. Lenny will have the Hibees fired up for this. Wouldn’t be surprised if both Tony Stokes and Efe scores a goal, although the latter may be an OG :-)

Stokesy is a passenger of the ball, i don’t think Hibs can carry any passengers tomorrow. I expect a hard fought game but a few goals for us at least. Lenny will want to do well but he wont want to end the unbeaten run :))
Family wedding tomorrow so can’t make the game. Gave my tickets to a good friend and his son who can’t go every week due to circumstances. The wee boy has his clothes all looked out and scarf ironed etc. already and has picked his songs for the journey in.
I remember that feeling of innocence and anticipation.
Here’s hoping we put on a show, he’ll talk about it for months.

Cannae wait to applaud the Bhoys for the Incredible effort they All put in.
Is Kouassi about? I think he should be about soon.
After the unbelievable work Leigh put in against Anderlecht, IMO, there is no way he will play tomorrow with Moussa champing @ the bit.
:))))))
