David Potter’s post-match thoughts on Celtic 3 theRangers 0…
Last night was one of the best nights we have had for many years. For long periods in the first half, we hardly gave them a kick of the ball and 7-0 at half time would not have been an outrageous reflection on the run of play.
The second half was quieter, and although we lost some of the momentum we had in the first half, we kept things under control, and they were never really likely to get back in the game.
We did not have a single weakness. My Man of the Match would have been Juranovic, but there would have been many who would have run him close. And what a difference Callum McGregor makes, face mask or no face mask! The team played with cohesion and teamwork, and the football was a real treat.
We’re not behind closed doors any more 😎

The atmosphere was awe inspiring, spine chilling and frankly like nothing else in the whole world. Our opponents were clearly rattled and even intimidated. They are in the main simple minded souls, having been fed all sorts of rubbish in the Scottish media about how good they are. It was the first time they had come up against a non-servile crowd. They were clearly thunderstruck by it all, and some of them might not recover.
This atmosphere at Celtic Park is absolutely insane, on another level to anything else we get in the UK. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/egLBHPYaXT

That was last night – and it was, by any standard, impressive, but today is another day, and it is “Feet on the floor day” for the players. 14 league games remain and we still must win them all. It would be very difficult to accept if we beat theRangers and then failed to Motherwell or Aberdeen. Concentration is paramount.
Calm them down, Ange, You are doing a great job so far. We are in with a chance of the three trophies, and of course we already have won one. The mutual love between fans and players that we saw last night are a sign that anything is possible.
Both players and fans were awesome.

A duirt go maith (Well said) as our founding fathers would have exclaimed.
Up to Ange now to tighten the reins and get over the last 14 fences intact and nose in front.
Matt O’Reilly a revelation.
The scout(s) who spotted Ange and him have to take the plaudits for bringing the Hoops to the verge of another treble injuries permitting.
Up to the supporters to keep the positive thunder going.
Hail Hail.
