Goals & Glory

Today the season will come to an end. It all started back at the start of July at Somerset Park against Scot Brown’s Ayr United in a pre-season friendly. Kyogo scored a penalty in the 1-1 draw. Brown and Kyogo have both written themselves into the Celtic history books. By full time  some other players will have wrote their part in our famous history. Lets hope its of goals and glory and another treble.

Celtic are hot favourites to complete a treble but in a one off game anything can happen and who would have thought that we could lose home and away to the rangers this season. So with that in mind I travel with confidence and caution over the Irish Sea.

Aberdeen went from contenders in the early part of the season to pretenders. Some pundits even tipping them to split ourselves and the rangers. The Aberdeen fans dreams came crashing down when Celtic hammered them in Hampden Park in the semi-final of the League Cup the last time both clubs met at the National Stadium.

On a sunny night in Aberdeen last week Brendan Rodgers put out a team mostly made up of squad players and they tormented the home side and by the time the full time whistle had blown most of the Aberdeen fans had seen enough and were long gone. The Celtic players celebrated in front of us and it was James Forest who took the applause as he rolled back the years with a great performance.

Coming off the bench and scoring the equaliser on trophy day v St. Mirren has only enhanced his standing among the Celtic fans and his goal just signalled to all how special a club we are and how special his achievements are in modern football. A one club man and Lisbon Lion Legend Bobby Lennox was there to hand over the baton to the most successful player in Celtic’s History.

Forest has another season to go at Celtic and plenty of more chapters to write in our history starting tomorrow.

I’m sure I will bump into many of our readers over the weekend in Glasgow. Hopefully it will be another successful outing on the Southside of Glasgow and that the celebrations go long into the night and into the summer as the city remains Green and White.
