Dens Park Unique Angle is a Joy to Behold

Four goals, two each from the Amigos Jota and Kyogo and three assists from the best right back in Scotland – incredibly not starting for Scotland on Friday night because he’s not even in the squad – Tony Ralston.

The opportunity was there in that window between the international breaks for Celtic to gain some real momentum and we certainly have done that in the Europa League with the two wins and six points gained against Ferencvaros, the Champions of Hungary, while the two dropped points against Livingston last week in the Scottish Premiership put a slight dampener on the league progress as although we’ve climbed to second we’re still four points adrift of the leaders.

Yet if we can maintain the form of the last two games after the International break up until 2 January there could be a back trophy in the cabinet at Celtic Park and a new leader at the top of the Scottish Premiership. It’s all about momentum.

And of course the transfer window will be open and Ange Postecoglou has already stated that he’s looking at his additions coming in early. So enjoy the last international break of the year, with the best of luck to all our Bhoys on international duty and please come home safe, sound and injury free. Then pick up where you left off at Dens Park.

Incidentally, how did that game finish only 4-2 to Celtic?
