The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Surely now, no matter what happens, WGS's critics should button it. The wee man has well and truly proved himself.

The title is not won yet.
Only if it is won, then GS will have earned the right to build up another team for another year.

If Celtic win the title then its part due to a strong finish and Strachan deserves credit for that.
It was his team and his players, like Naka who could pull out something special.
The other part is that Rangers will have handed them the title.

AFAIA winning the SPL means auto entry to the CL group stages next season.
and the co efficient points gained by Rangers toxic football in the UEFA cup should mean the last auto entry spot is secure for a few years.

Whilst I've changed my views on WGS as the season has gone on, nobody seems to have noticed the link between Celtics upturn in form and the arrival of Neil Lennon. The Hoops now have some of the spirit and heart that Rankers have been displaying all season.

As for the league, tonight will tell us alot about where the flag rests for the Summer, but we still have to win on Thursday.

Hail Hail

Lennon has played his part but Strachan must get most of the credit as he steered the ship back on course after being under enormous pressure.

Gaoth Dobhair Abu · May 19, 2008, 01:27:48 PM

The ship had no spirit or heart, Lenny has brought that back.
WGS does deserve credit for just getting on with it when 6 weeks ago he had the wolves at the door baying for his blood.

Such a fecking goal that second. Gers two nil up after 25 minutes. Could do damage to the goal difference here. Darcheville & Boyd.
Christ Broadfoot even set one up, the othet set up by a St Mirren defender.

3-0 Gers. Would have settled for that after first half hour!!

So, will Celtic squeeze past Dundee Utd?

Is Ziggy a seer?

My predictions are about as reliable as Tony's. Please don't make me predict...

T Fearon · May 20, 2008, 09:05:54 AM

Couldn't be a better finish to a league championship, both contenders with a tough away fixture.On this occasion I will not tempt fate by making a prediction but am cautiously optimistic for the first three in a row since the Big Jock era

T Fearon · May 20, 2008, 09:47:33 AM

Yes, Celtic currently have a goal difference of 4. Certainly I don't think its going to be a turkey shoot like the last day of the 2003 season when both sides were in exactly the same position but with relatively easy games. These are both tough away games, with wins for both Celtic and Rangers far from guaranteed.

I can't see Rangers scoring a pile of goals at Pittodrie, due to their heavy leggedness at this stage and the fact that Aberdeen and Rangers hate each other with a vengeance, and the pressure.

I have a funny feeling that one of the two will slip up and not actually win their game on Thursday night and I hope its not a case of deja vu for Celtic a la Fir Park in 2005
