The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[KickPass]

The city of Dundee hosting the Old firm clubs today and tomorrow in the cup. I find it mad that their Stadiums are so close. About a 100 yards apart and on the same street in fact! You'd often wonder why clubs like this in a small city don't pool their resources and have one proper decent club? I suppose tradition and politics would not be surmountable.

If you knew anything about how gaa clubs were formed you would know the answer!

Professional win last night. And now a cup semi final vs Rangers on Easter Sunday. If rangers go through in Europe this week - they will be playing the Thursday night before the cup game, big boost for Celtic.

All very quiet in here on Old Firm derby day!

Looking good at half time after a poor start!

[Milltown Row2]

There seems to be good banter by the pundits

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Say what ye like but raw hatred produces some atmosphere 😃

What was threw at Hart, a bottle?!

[The Subbie]

Solid performance by Celtic
Starfelt & CCV were savage at the back
Celtic should have had a few more in the second half
I was convinced entering the last 10 mins Willie would grant the Huns their customary penalty
Celtic defended as a team really well
6 points clear now and humming

Hope O'Reily injury isn't too bad
Hatate ran out of gas worringly early

[Targetman]

A good professional performance that really should clinch the league, dislike Mc Gregor even more now, had Celtic to win 3-1 @ 20/1,

A member of Celtic's backroom team suffered a head wound after being hit by a glass bottle during the Old Firm game.

Celtic said the man needed urgent medical treatment and had to have stitches in his head.

A statement from the club said the matter had been referred to police.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We are aware of a glass bottle being thrown at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow, during the Rangers v Celtic match."

He added: "One man has sustained injuries as a result of this and required treatment. Inquiries are currently ongoing to establish the full circumstances."

The incident happened at the end of the first half.

Police are also investigating another incident which delayed the start of the second half.

Ground staff had to remove shards from a broken glass bottle in Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart's penalty area.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou said: "It is disappointing because this is a fixture that gets beamed around the world. Two teams going at it, first and second spot.

"You don't need a couple of idiots ruining it. I don't know what people are trying to achieve by doing that."

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: "It's never good the game has to be stopped" and added "safety is first".

The match was won by Celtic 2-1, allowing the team to move six points clear of their rivals.

Celtic didn't even play that well (not as well as we know they can) but done enough. On chances it could have been 6-3 to Celtic. This could be the end for these Zombies, £27m of a loss so far and thinking they're getting the £40m CL money (I know the league is not won yet) to wipe out their debt. Again spending money they don't have and it's obvious they didn't learn their lesson from the last time.
I know some of the Celtic fans are no Angels but that behaviour today from the Zombies was atrocious TBH. They really are scum of the earth.

Would have easily taken a draw after Rangers scored early on, so a win is even better again. The next game is even more crucial as it can be easy to have a flat performance after winning at Ibrox and with everyone saying the league is won after today. Just get the 3 points next Saturday before they play again and it puts even more pressure on them. Don't let them off the hook as the league isn't done til it's done.

I had the luxury of watching a recording of the game knowing the result. That was some size of an Irish flag being waved by the Celtic fans. I thought Willie C did very well, reffed the game sensibly considering the occasion. I think he got most every decision spot on and not shy to manhandle some overexcited players.
Fair fcks to McGregor for standing up and stepping into Brown's considerably sized boots and take on the mantle of inspirational leader by example to such effect.

Dont think its as bad as the last time but no doubt its a set back. They'll have to sell players and the values are nowhere near what they think. They might get 10m for Morelos but that's about it.

Regarding the fans - they just cant take a beating. There's a lad in hospital in glasgow with a bleed on his brain. A load of rangers fans apparently jumped off a bus to batter him on the side of the road. FFS can you not just go home and lick your wounds. Bunch of cowards

Herad because of the Russian sanctions rangers could  get into championships league.

Afaiu as it stands now regardless of sanctions against Russian clubs, the SPL champs go into the group stages and the runners up go into the qual. rounds
