FATHER MARTIN AND SAMWISE GANGEE – 7/10 – How’s yer blood pressure, boss? A wee midweek daytrip to a seaside tearoom on the Aberdeenshire coast is what most 74 year-olds might be doing. Not prowling touchlines in the deep chill watching a Celtic side make tough work of finishing off the local under-performers. Four changes were made from the Mordor marathon, and a surprise pain in the rear-end enforced a fifth as Calamity Dane decided to implode before kick-off on this one. So MON whip-cracked away and threw a raw performer onto the Deadwood stage to rustle some sheep. Thankfully, every perceived gamble paid-off and the points were won.

He’ll be particularly pleased to get the win – not too fussed with the stodgy manner of it – because he’s wily enough to know that points make more than just prizes at this stage of a season – they also ramp up the pressure on those pretenders to our crown who’ve been all talk and swagger. The old fox is now perfectly positioned to out-fox the hyenas.
Sure Ben Arthur has to be nicknamed The Cobbler
