MIBBERY – 3/10 – “Ah waant a shoat! Ah waant a shoat!” Squealed Johnny B fae the Bellshill T as he watched Saturday’s festival of black magic skulduggery in Edinburgh. Well, tonight he got his chance and… Probably lost a few bets. Controversy was snuffed out by eventual rampant Bhoys and Johnny had to settle for the consolation ‘Book-The Sellic-Captain’ bonus.

OVERALL – 7/10 – Another midweek clash to fire up the loins as we close on glory. It’s been Bayern the past two, and how ironic that The Sheep turn up in the most Bayern kit of all those three contests. Still, thankfully, they’re no Bayern. But we gave them more chances than we did Bayern in an opening spell where the players couldn’t find each other’s dimension, never mind frequency or wavelength. Everyone got into the calamity act for a while, more sloppy than a Lana Wolf Louden evening, with Kasper running a ‘beat-the-goalie-when-he’s-not-even-flaming-there’ charity gig, and we kind of bypassed our midfield, then finally around the 20 minute mark Calmac fired one high and wide like a Scotland rugger conversion attempt…if only he was playing at Twickenham last weekend…

…Which proved to be the last facepalm moment, as the skipper then exerted some midfield control with Arne. They dominated medieval Presbyterian rat-catching hobbit, Shimmie, then set about knitting together a period of concerted pressure and pressing that had the game won by half-time. So all’s well that ends well, and sweet sixteen is back on the board before the Sanfransevcoo(1)69(0)ers got to the Ayrshire Ghetto Pimps tomorrow with some new management team of Prince William, the exhumed corpse of boat-murderer suspect Bill Struth (suspected by me), the summoned demonic spectre of Jimmy Bell, Lulu, and ranting jakey Jim McDonald from Corrie. Or something… Or some motley crew even weirder than that.

Dedicated to Evan Williams, Celtic’s man of the match in the 1970 European Cup final against Feyenoord in Milan. Requiescat in pace.
