SANDMAN’S DEFINITIVE RATINGS: CELTIC @ RENTON’S ROVERS…
“In life the only thing you can expect is the unexpected; the only surprise is a day that has none.”- Joan Rivers.
THE FRIENDLY GHOST – 6.5/10 – Ever reliable, ever the pro, making quality saves as officials made up the offside rule as we went along. No chance with the goals – defence left him criminally exposed; Let’s hope he repeated his Brugge rundown of their aberrations in the dressing room.
GREGGS THE BAKER – 3.5/10 – Overcooked the flaming sausage rolls to the point of cremation. Thankfully the boss switched the oven off at half-time and he was back in the kitchen kneading dough by the restart; calamitous omens were looming after his yellow, and he’d been spooked since the second-minute disarray; which wasn’t really his fault.
WAYNE GRETZKY – 7/10 – Barnstorming Bayern, then hounding Hibees – at the ground where AJ favours a right good clunk on the heid to clear the cobwebs and tune him in, hockey style. That’s mental- arctic hockey, not the -blade girlie version (Although the skirts are good. Disclaimer: Not on the men, mind…). Best of our backline today, irrepressible bursts forward that deserved more, though inversely penalised for having a hoof too big for the blinkered umpires to see the ball and line clearly enough…
GET CARTER – 6.5/10 – Battle of the bruisers as Hibs paired a young cut of lumber up against our titan. Worked for them as it kept him occupied while others faltered. CCV’s rugged appetite for combat saw him through and dominance was asserted after roughly an hour; too late as his compatriot had already let him down…
