BACKING THE BHOYS

Brendan Rodgers cut a happy figure after the St. Stephen’s Day 4-0 win over Motherwell at Celtic park when he spoke to the camera’s after the game and he will be looking for more of the same on home turf on Sunday when St. Johnstone are the visitors to Celtic Park.

Celtic dominated the game and were impressive in the second half and with strength in dept in the squad were able to call on the bench to introduce Kyogo, Hatate and Kuhn which must have put the fear of god into the visiting players.

Motherwell now face the rangers at home and will have gained some confidence from St. Mirren’s late win over them in Paisley. The Meltdown continues on a daily basis by the rangers fans on social media and Celtic fans are loving every minute of every post.

Celtic fans have one eye on the next Glasgow Derby on Jan 02 but sadly none of us will be there due to the on going ticket fiasco created by the blue half of Glasgow. Brendan Rodgers spoke after the Motherwell game about how good the fans were at Celtic Park backing the team and he can expect the same on Sunday if the players turn on the style.

I used to look forward to games in Ibrox about 8000 of us packed into the Broomloan end singing in a sea of Green and White as the teams came out. The lift it gave the Celtic players must have been inspiring for them but next week they will have to go it alone. An early Celtic goal will silence the bears and send Celtic fans in pubs and clubs around the globe wild.

But first we must take care of business against St. Johnstone who we hammered 6-0 at McDiarmid Park at the end of September.
