OVERALL – 8/10 – Well, all the Xmas stockings are now fully empty as the tangerines from the bottom were used to feed Daizen. Not to mention the number of sisters’ presents stolen to provide the phalanx of pink footballs fired onto the park as well. Can only imagine the GB took advantage of new anti-discrimiatory laws to smuggle the inflated balls into the ground under disguises of bonnets and frocks in a ‘Little Britain’ style operation…”We are ladies!”

The most important football was the one Celtic kicked into the net five times and sealed title number 55. Which casts a whole new comical slant on the Zombies’ tedious ’55’ merchandise. Thanks for playing; you’re now marketing for us…
As the Captain pointed out – you can only beat what’s in front of you, and we’ve done it in the main with consistency, no little verve and a barrowload of goals. Chasing points and scoring records will keep this squad relentless for the remaining games and the crowning glory of a Hampden treble. Today was about getting over the line and didn’t the Bhoys do it in swanky style? Last time at the tangerine shed on the Tay we suffered in some sort of strange winter temp-set, no doubt conjured up by the locals in an attempt to summon Baphomet. Again.

But by the hour mark it was a training exercise in keep-ball and passing and movement. This team have excelled when required this season, in coruscating domestic fashion, with admirable CL resilience. The Hoops emphasised their focus and professionalism with this rout of a capable, organised United side. There may well be a seemingly unbridgeable gulf between Celtic and the rest, but that’s down to the excellence of our standards elevating Celtic beyond reach, and not the deterioration of others (Zombies excepted…).

That’s already been litmus-tested in the CL, and we’re definitely going back for more if these Bhoys can help it. And it’ll be no more than these CHAMPIONS deserve.
