The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Archie Mitchell]

Must have been a game of 2 halfs then.

Keane hat-trick in the 2nd half to win 3-0.

[T Fearon]

A hollow victory, laboured and extremely fortunate that Killie didn't convert their gilt edged chances. Too little too late.

[tyroneStatto]

thank fcuk for keane as none of the other strikers were gonna do the business today.

How would you know? Where you not watching the Spurs game? 

[T Fearon]

Keeping an eye on both, I have double vision and multi tv sky package

what do you mean a hollow vicotry
hollow because you would rather see Celtic lose and have the manager sacked perhaps?
thats not the mantra of a real fan.

Celtic missed way more chances than killie in the first half and then went on to convert them in the secons.
I have said before that robbie keane needs 5 chances to score one, he is proving this in most games.
Larsson was also like this, but needed 3 chances to score one, but he created fecking loads of chances...

stop your moaning tony.

[Doogie Browser]

Keane showed his class on Saturday, his first goal was as good a first touch you will see anywhere, great movement and positioning all day too.

Tony has showed over last few months on this thread and the one's he has started about former armagh players/managers that he seems to love being miserable. Thank god I have no interest in reading the spurs page.

I would point out Middlesbro's highly credible 2-2 draw with Newcastle (a premiership team in all but name), and its a game they should have won and both goals came from players discarded by Mowbray

Anyone who thinks that a laboured win over Kilmarnock is turning the corner needs to have their head examined

boro's recent form since strachan joined and wigans defensive record (with the improvement in defence since christmas) speaks greater volumes imo !

I read an article yesterday that stated that mcdonald was looking to leave Celtic - and heard over the weekend it was because he wanted a big payday for transferring and it was going to be his last chance - while he still had a good name for being a goalscorer.
Wasnt so good this season before he left!

I agree that Celtic should be beating the heck out of all the teams in the spl inc rangers - but they havent been doing that this past 5 years now have they !
Its not easy trying to pick through 10 man defences on ploughed field pitches !

[T Fearon]

Well Rangers seem to be making a fair fist at it.

I see Caldwell had a blinder for Wigan at the weekend another player discarded by Mowbray.

so I see
a great 3-3 result for them yesterday alright !

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

Indeed, given Rangers have lost 1 SPL match over the past 12 months they clearly dont have so many problems "picking through 10 men defences on ploughed field pitches". Suppose the refs are on their side though and the other teams probably pour water on the park before they play Celtic and put in more effort against the Hoops . Fact is the Old Firm have so budgets so far advanced in comparison to the rest that, properly managed, they should lose very few matches. 

Interesting comments in the paper the other day from Hartson. Said he had believed Mowbray was the man for the job but was astonished he moved on players like McManus and Robson who were leaders on the pitch and the kind of guys Mowbray could have used during a transitional period. Said it was incredible that O' Dea came back from a loan spell at Reading where he couldnt get a game and was immediately handed the Celtic armband.

Good win for Celtic at the weekend but its too little too late, even if they win the Scottish Cup its a poor return for the season. Nor with all the loan players is there much suggestion of Mowbray working towards a more prosperous long term.
