Yes, Celtic started slowly and Motherwell unlucky not to lead before Celtic hit the front. Luke McCowan looks like he is going to be a player for Celtic, always satisfying when a home grown player makes an impact.

There was a very interesting decision early on when Daizen Maeda's strike was correctly ruled out for unintentional hand ball.

This in itself was fine, but he was tripped when he was clean through on goal and this caused him to handle the ball.

The trip occurred first, so Celtic should have been awarded a penalty. In the end it didn't matter but it was a crazy call.

Cowan is proving a wise and relatively cheap signing.

Aberdeen proving the real thing

Predicted that very score line as Rangers are very average, though they did improve the second half going by reports.

As for Aberdeen- great they are mounting a challenge to Celtic but surely injuries and suspensions will see them drop off.

I don't see Rangers as a serious threat this season, though they and Aberdeen have it in them to win a cup.

Celtic Aberdeen this week in the cup. Should be good.

A little bit off topic but too much effort to open a new thread which will hardly be noticed- Celtic to overcome Aberdeen by 3 goals to 1 in a competitive game. My reasoning is Celtic will be the fresher of the two sides following the midweek games as they rested a few players v Dundee. Aberdeen were pushed hard by Rangers and it would be a monumental effort to overcome Celtic at Hampden in a League Cup game. The last time they achieved this was 32 years ago in the final when a young Eoin Jess scored the only goal of the game.

Most of this thread is off topic. I'm predicting a tennis score line and Celtic to win 6-0.

We certainly have and hopefully 'normal service' resumes. Not many will give Rangers much of a chance, the die-hard blue noses included. That said, it's a final and anything can happen. Rodgers will be hopeful of extending his excellent record against Celtic's biggest foes.- Played 18, W 14, D 3, L 1 with goals for 40 and goals against 12.

Just seeing this. Money for jam imho.


Spurs paid a handsome fee to Celtic for Ange Postecoglou
Finance experts, Swiss Ramble, decided to take a deep dive into Celtic’s financial results for season 2023/24 and shared just how much Postecoglou dented Spurs’ bank account in their pursuit of the Australian.

The Premier League club dug deep and paid Celtic £3.5m for Ange which is an incredible sum considering the former Hoops boss was on a year-to-year rolling contract at Parkhead.

It’s a deal that has worked out for the club after Celtic appointed Brendan Rodgers soon after Postecoglou’s departure and the Northern Irishman is continuing the Parkhead club’s domination of Rangers and Scottish football.

Peanuts for Spurs tbh, not sure it's much money to Celtic either.

I have only watched the highlights but Celtic looked lucky this morning Kasper Schmeichel was unbeatable.
Kuhn just keeps delivering.

Rangers have won it 28 times Celtic have won it 21 times

[It's An Injustice]

That's not true. It's been less than 28 years since sevco were formed.

How so? Scottish clubs often punch against their weight so to speak and rarely get the credit they deserve from the UK (namely English) media. Stop looking down at us you football snob!

Celtic won, Aberdeen got hammered, Sevco lost... what a christmas !

[Heaven To Murgatroid]

Almost same again, as Celtic won, Aberdeen lost to a stoppage time goal and sevco dropped more points.

Aberdeen certainly falling off the perch lately/

The next big dance later this week at Sevco's ground on Friday morning should be season defining.

With all due respect eagleboy, I wouldn't consider it (game v Rangers) 'season defining', as Celtic could afford to lose 10-0 and it wouldn't make any difference to their season. However, it could be seen as 'season defining' for Clement if his team fail to beat Celtic again.

Rangers have an excellent record of beating Celtic when the result doesn't matter!

Expect Rangers to throw everything at Celtic to try and appease there fans if nothing else. In the cold light of day, a Rangers' win will only prolong their suffering and prolong Clement's stay.
If the real Celtic turn up, they could put the final nail in his coffin. In Glasgow, second is last and the supporters of either side will only tolerate it for so long. To be perfectly honest, Clement was always going to find it extremely difficult as Celtic
are financially strong and professionally run- polar opposites to what Rangers are at this moment in time.

What makes it more unacceptable to the Bears is that Celtic have now overtaken them in major trophies won- that wouldn't have seemed possible just a few years ago.

So either way- it doesn't matter if the game is won, lost or drawn as the writing is on the wall. Only winning the Scottish Cup could potentially save Clement, though the curtain could fall very soon. Interesting to note- Clement signed an extended contract to 2028. This means he could hang around if Rangers can't afford to sack him, or he resigns.

On present form and the current resentment shown by their supporters in general, I will find it astonishing if he sees out next year- never mind 2028.

Happy days if you are a hoops man. Hail Hail!

A Celtic win would put them 177 points up.
Celtic would have to lose six games and Rangers would have to go the rest of the season and win their 19 remaining games.

A Celtic win would also put Clement's job in high jeopardy.

[thebeautifulgame]

Please read again mate- I wish it was that many points, though I am sure we will do enough to win it outright come the end of the season.
