The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[laoislad]

This is fantastic and really made my day when I read about it.
Fair play to the SPFL and everyone involved.

Celtic fan Jay Beatty has won the SPFL goal of the month competition for February and the video has become the fifth most watched in the history of SPFL's YouTube channel.

The 11-year-old Celtic fan from Armagh, known affectionally as "Wee Jay", was given the VIP treatment as the Scottish giants recorded a 2-0 away win at Hamilton thanks to goals from Adam Matthews and Liam Henderson on January 19.

He scored a goal at half time and celebrated in front of the Celtic fans and has now been nominated for the SPFL Goal of the Month alongside the likes of David Goodwillie, Gary Macakay-Steven, and Mikael Lustig.

The Celtic fan won with 97pc of the vote.

The youngster, who has Down Syndrome, captured hearts when Georgios Samaras picked him out from the crowd to join in the Hoops' title celebrations last year.

Jay became a worldwide hit at the end of last season, when video of him and Samaras on Celtic's league-winning lap of honour went viral, racking up over two million hits on YouTube and being broadcast live on Sky Sports.

The Celtic striker invited Jay to go to the World Cup in Brazil to cheer on Samaras and Greece, but the invite clashed with a family holiday and he was forced to cancel.

"This boy gives me so much strength, it's incredible," Samaras said last year. "There are no words. I feel his love so much. This love I feel, is also felt by many people in Greece."

It seems Hamilton announced the result on Twitter as 3-0. Lovely.

I see Stan Collymore dropped bt BT sport for having a Twitter row with rangers supporters.

there were some bad individual errors there tonight but credit when it's due they fought back well and deserved a draw. Biggest disappointment and he continues to disappoint me is Emilio Izagurrie. I don't rate him at all and we need to replace him ASAP

I'd agree there, mind you Ambrose was a disaster when he came on.

I see Stan Collymore dropped bt BT sport for having a Twitter row with rangers supporters.

It was because he had called for Rangers (whatever their name is)  to be dropped from BT until that time their fans stop singing blatantly sectarian songs.

That was some game last night considering Celtic had been crap in europe so far this season. I guess because of that, most were apprehensive about what could happen as regards a good drubbing. The game was not too dissimilar to the CL last 16 game against Juventus when the Italians were gifted 2 goals  just as Celtic were taking the game to them.
Next season, CL group stage is a must, the board will just have to back Deila, bank on qualification and get the 2 or 3 players.
That support needs the cl and the board will just have to realise that the cloth cutting can just go too far, that the team are beyond repair to challenge for a CL group stage spot.

Another super night in Glasgow! Feared the worst after 13 minutes but the character shown was unbelievable as was the atmosphere.Spare a thought for the bloke seated beside me who went out for a fag and missed both Celtic goals to level the score at 2-2! Another reason why this filthy habit should be avoided.

In four competitive meetings in Europe Inter have never defeated Celtic in 90 minutes.

You do know easyjet allocate seats now Tony, you don't need to hang around the gate like a bad smell. Great night, still can't figure out where that performance from Craig Gordon came from, pushing for POTY before Thursday. Bitton  Brown and Armstrong v good, back four not so much.

I know,and actually bought window seats! Still I like to be on the plane first if possible and get settled in without pushing and shoving past people!

[T Fearon]

Just worried that Craig Gordon can't cope with the big occasions,which was his downfall in England.Hope he proves me wrong in Milan.Tends to push away and parry the ball too much for my liking,but it takes some balls to have a first half like he did on Thursday then recover to perform adequately in the second half.

You couldn't be doing that, those planes are small, you'd end up crushing someone

Stokes was dropped for Thurs game because he arrived late back from his trip home to Ireland...

[T Fearon]

How many times will Stokes do stupid things like this? With the new arrivals along with Griffiths and Commons in great form and now Guidetti back to goal scoring ways Stokes is dropping down the pecking order and doing himself no favours.
