HIBS GREAT ESCAPE

It was the Hibs fans who were celebrating after 94 minutes earlier today on a wet Saturday afternoon at Celtic Park after pulling off a great escape against the Champions. 0-0 the final scoreline as the Celtic players missed chance after chance to win the game. Hibs came to defend and were rewarded with a point with their goalkeeper the best player they had on display. He got a little help from the woodwork of which he will be grateful.

Hearts now sit top of the Scottish Premiership table after a 3-0 win over Falkirk at Tynecastle. Elsewhere Kilmarnock beat Dundee United 2-0. St. Mirren beat Dundee 1-0 and Aberdeen remain bottom of the table after a 0-0 draw at Motherwell. Rangers travel to Livingston on Sunday to complete this weekends fixtures.

There was a silent protest for 12 minutes organised by the Celtic Fans Collective before the Green Brigade and the Bhoys Ultras brought the stadium to life in song and drum beats. During the first 12 minutes a banner in the North Curve read Your Silence is Deafening in response to the boards refusal to engage in a meaningful way with the Celtic fanbase.

At full time 2 young fans approached the Directors Box to have a pop at the Celtic board members. I could not hear what they were saying but they did not look happy. The board members retreated back to the boardroom after Brendan and the players went down the tunnel but not before having to listen to plenty of verbal.

Frustration on the pitch for the Celtic players on the pitch and off it as fan unrest continues to grow. If the Celtic board were hoping things would blow over with a few wins, they will have to think again after another scoreless draw. Next up Braga on Thursday night at Celtic Park and another silent protest.

Brendan Rodgers has called for unity but the trust is just not there between the supporters and those running the club. Tickets are still on sale for the Braga game and we could be looking at plenty of empty seats in Paradise instead of the SOLD OUT signs up.

Memories of Ronnie Delia and an empty top tier in the Lisbon Lions stand come flooding back into my mind as I type.
