Good Result, But, It's Still Only Half-Time

THEY left it late, but, that was another good win for Celtic in Europe again last night. However, we (and in Europe, we should all, whatever our domestic ties, be Celtic fans) are in for another nervous night in the second leg.
 
Scottish football has, of late, travelled as well as Belgian wine. The long haul to Azerbaijan does not bode well for Celtic - not with that defence; but, if big CG puts on another of his dazzling European displays, to justify that nice new contract, Celtic can successfully defend that slender, one-goal lead.
 
Let's hope too, Aberdeen does the business in their Europe League match tonight. I would certainly hat to have to justify the expense of that nice executive jet to wee Stewart Milne, if they don't get through.
 
 
 
I THINK, if not immediately, then certainly by the end of the January transfer window, Scott Allen will be a member of the RTA. We have seen this DVD so-many times when either one of the Bigot Brothers decides, they have to have a player from another Scottish club.
 
Hibs will shout, scream, stamp their feet and generally kick-up a fuss, but, in the end, the boy will go west. Get used to it, if you have not already, Hibbees.
 
 
 
YON guy in Donegal, the ex-pat Scot with the four-barrelled Erse name, has returned to his obsession with the blue-clad team which plays its home games at Ibrox Stadium.
 
Like the soothsayer in Frankie Howard's Up Pompeii, he is again prophesying - woe, woe and thrice woe for the RTA. He may well have an obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to this particular club, but, PMGB isn't often wrong.
 
Assuming there is a genuine kernel of truth to his latest forecasts, the "glib and shameless liar" who has been promoted from King over the water to Emperor of all he surveys, has a problem or two on his hands, one which not even a string of 6-2 wins will make go away.
 
But, don't tell the Lap Top Loyal - they might have to do some real work, and, that would never do.
 
 
 
I SEE Scott Booth made a winning start to his reign as manager of Glasgow  City, Scotland's top women's team. How long before Craig Brown gets a gig there as an adviser? Surely, that's a job tailor-made for the auld yin!!
