Celtic fans travelled on Saturday from Glasgow to the Highlands to cheer on the Bhoys on a bitter cold day. Some fans journey began on Friday night or in early hours of Saturday morning.
A kick off in Dingwall at 12:30pm is not an ideal time for a kick off for those travelling from the Emerald Isle or further afield but fair play to everyone who made the effort. They were rewarded with a 4-1 win which always makes the long journey home worth while
I watched the game in the comfort of my own home before joining fellow Celtic fans from Ireland and Scotland for the marriage of Kev the Tim Ross and Leanne at the very impressive Ballymagarvey Village in Co. Meath.
With only one winger available Yang, Kyogo moved out wide from his normal starting place up front and chipped in with 2 goals along with a penalty from Arne Engels (re-taken after the goalkeeper moved off his line when saving his first effort). Luke McCowan wrapped up the goalscoring on the day.
Brendan Rodgers cut a happy figure after the game in his post-match interview and spoke about McCowan and the introduction of Johnny Kenny from the bench. The Irish under 21 Irish international was signed from Sligo Rovers before going out on loan to Shamrock Rovers and only recently returned from that spell after impressing in the Europa Conference League where he was scoring freely.
The win put Celtic 18 points clear of the rangers who narrowed the gap to 15 points after a 3-1 win at Ibrox over struggling bottom of the table St. Johnstone on Sunday.
The natives in the Blue Half are getting restless. The Union Bears and their supporters association called for fans to leave at 55 minutes in portest. The Ultra group carried out the threat and left to boos from other rangers fans in the stadium.
Another win keeps Clement in the job and the fans divided as the melt down continues while the conversation among Celtic fans is the transfer market as all attention turns to our away trip to Dundee tomorrow night.
The weekend football brought the snow before the meltdown what will this week bring.
