MIBBERY – 3.5/10 – What a curiosity this starey MIB was; a refusal to book any player who shares a dressing room with Assfield had Calmac and everyone else of Hooped persuasion baffled. He eventually relented once the damage was done but only on the condition he got to throw one our way too. I guess the tension of the Easter Road live-feed being piped in via his ear-piece was stressing him out…

OVERALL – 8/10 – What a difference a few days make. And the difference to an embattled squad made by the exit of the guy who publicly humiliated them in the name of self-preservation. They certainly looked like they were in mourning…
NOT!

Soon as the vibrant atmosphere settled a bit and the players got over a snappy Falkirk start and found rhythm, the entertainment began: Zip, rip, and tippety-tip-top tempo that picked the upstarts apart and threatened to bury them in a landslide. From midway through the first-half until the weary legs of late-on, the champions were back slaying the impertinent like bygone days of old…
There’s a passage of play right before the third, when the ball’s shuffled right to left across the back around the halfway. At the precise moment when we’ve been conditioned for two and a quarter seasons to expect cautious horseshoe keep-ball, there’s a BRAVE dink between opposition pressing players, finding Negan to split their lines, ultimately resulting in Negan’s goal.

You only realise how much the gallus has been absent until it manifests again before your eyes. Now the job is to maintain the dead-rat bounce right into Hampden, landing on the Zombies like a tooled-up UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter gunship.
No better way to back-up one good thrashing than deliver another. And it’s long overdue, Celtic.
Go Away Now
