One or two of us mocked another team for struggling against Second and Third division sides this season. All good sporting fun but from the lofty heights of the Champions League knockout stages you need to make sure you can overcome a team who are treading water in the third tier of Scottish football.
Arbroath were good value for their draw at Celtic Park earlier this month. It would be wrong to say their late equaliser was coming, as they never threatened during the previous 86 minutes, but they were thoroughly well organised and apart from a bizarre own goal would have reached the 87th minute on level terms.
The CQN Annual is 196 pages dripping with pure Celtic. You can order online here, a glossy joy for someone for Christmas!
Our eclectic collection of African, Mediterranean and metropolitan players will have little experience of the biting Arctic wind that will blow in off the Angus coast tonight, just a few yards from Gayfield Park, whereas the part-timers from Arbroath will be very much at home. This, my friends in Celtic, is what they call the Romance of the Cup.
Don’t be comforted by the wins over Barca and Spartak, they guarantee nothing. One more lacklustre performance and dreams of Celtic’s fourth treble will be kippered. 2012 has been the year of the little man, the “diddy teams”, as a wild Rover coined them in the summer. There is one remaining superpower in our sport and every game they play is a cup final for someone.
Get Up for the Cup, Celtic.

Manchester Evening News speculation.
An Old Trafford exit for Nani is set to fund a January transfer swoop by Sir Alex Ferguson. Porto’s Colombian winger James Rodriguez and Celtic’s midfield powerhouse Victor Wanyama have moved to the top of the Reds’ wanted list.
Talks over a new contract for Nani, whose current deal ends in 2014, have stalled and both Juventus and Arsenal are thought to be interested in a £20m move.
United’s chief European scout Martin Ferguson, was at Celtic last month to watch Wanyama against Barcelona. Rodriguez has been dubbed the new Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal and United could even use Nani as bait to land the youngster.

Martin Ferguson is of course a Celtic fan. Why would be not be at the match.
I would have thought Big Vic would be worth Nani and a fee to us.

Strong team, will this be the way they line up?
Surely not the same Leggat of leggoland?
MR David Leggat, 44, appeared at
Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday, charged
with striking Mr Daniel O’Neill, c/o the
police, on the neck with a bottle to his
severe injury and to the danger of his life,
in the foyer of Leggat’s home at Lincoln
Avenue, Knightswood, Glasgow. He made
no plea and was allowed bail.

I have seen Johnny Adair strut through the Ayrshire town where he has lived for several years now as if he owns the place.
Not sure what he does for a living or how he manages to make ends meet – but he seems to be surviving.
Wonder why?
HH!!
The Singing Detective most on here would happily fly you from a pole over Belfast City Hall.
BTW Belfast celebrates 125 years of city status this year. You’d have thought they would have approached us about a joint celebration. Wouldn’t ye now?

Erm, says it all really
The Abroath 1-1 result and the cold weather was a crumb of comfort for the sevconians of late
Much was made in the msm about our venture into the cold Artic of Abroath while the other “big club” in Glasgow (weatherproof) will have no problem facing the cauld and harr of Scotlands nether regions on a regular basis
Of course the sub zero experience is sevcos forte with a hardly a glove or a bunnet on show they will they will tell you its warmer out there than it looks such is their brassneck
