“We just need some sort of unification again,” Martin O’Neill

OVERALL – 6/10 – 3,2,1… Back in the room…And then out again, because there’s dafties roaring bollocks at the very time when surgical questions should be getting asked in a language the suits understand and fear. But, “Aye, we flamin’ telt thaim!” Aye, and here we are, back at square flamin’ “sack everyone” one. Jesus wept.

Celtic AGM 2025

Anyway…

It’s been a shouty, shouty week from national stadium to AGM, so nice of the Bhoys to try and calm everyone down by giving us hey-haw to shout about for 94 minutes. And it’s also been a week for last-gasp delirium, capped off nicely tonight with the Calmac screamer show. There’s nothing much to analyse about the team’s general performance. Because it was Craigy Whyte.

But these forgettable games are THE games that win titles. Three points out of that dung show at the dung hole is a precious reward; even if the only memorable moment of the dirge was the explosive magic from the captain’s left boot at the very death. That alone made the night worth it, knowing the utter angst and torment it caused among certain sections (should be sectioned…) of the population; a Zombie-sickener special, guaranteed to have them howling at the moon, beseeching their cannibal ancestors to send them an explanation for their pain through their cats’ teeth amulets.

It’s just like this, Bears – Celtic do what Celtic do and we did it again. On we go, rockin’ and rollin’, even if the sets are getting creaky. It’s the classics that make the night.

I’m standing warm against the cold
Now that the flames have taken hold
At least you left your life in style

RIP, Mani.
