Pure filth that club from East Glasgow.
I wish bad things on their repugnant followers.

Hi magicpole , I've been enjoying your input.
I would be interested in where you think Celtic ( and in that context, Scottish football) go next.
The problem with being a huge fish in a very small pond is that you tend to consume more than your share of resources. What I mean is that a club the size of yours with its financial clout ,not to mention being the only club in Scotland that can guarantee European football to some extent,can Hoover up the best young talent from all the other clubs. As a lifelong Hibs supporter (20 years in Edinburgh but don't hold it against me) I have seen players like your own skipper Scott Brown, Leigh Griffiths and more recently , Scott Allan all taking the Celtic shilling,not to mention one of your better players last night , Gary McKay -Steven who came from Dundee Utd.(and look where Hibs and Dundee Utd are now), although of course they had to take the opportunity to further their careers
It all just goes to further imbalance the whole Scottish PL and diminish competition, which is of course, why big money to companies are not interested in investing the kind of money in the domestic game that we see in England.
Celtic can now take the millions they have just made from the CL , and win the SPL by an even bigger margin.
What happens next season? Celtic win title by record margin and qualify for CL , get knocked out in group stages and pocket more dosh? Repeat cycle. I can't see anything changing for anyone in Scotland- maybe a decent cup run ( like last season for the Hibees- even if it did take 114 years) at best , but deep down , the knowledge that they need Celtic- and that other lot - to keep Scottish football alive- (if you can call Stenhousemuir 'living') but that their very presence effectively removes any competition.
Does success , because of its inevitability, taste sweet ?
Ha nice one you got me, chalk one up on the board for yourself mate. He was on a Lonely Island song a while back which is pretty good, you should check it out. Unfortunately for you though, it seems like his long curly hair is well gone, much like the chances of you doing anything in Europe in the future ;)So, you're a Michael Bolton fan? How else would you know that?
I was wondering where it came from.
Thanks for that. Has he any up and coming gigs you're planning to take in?
As for not winning a game? Well, that's football sometimes.
But, Michael Bolton? Who would have thought it?
Has he still got daft curly hair?

Anyway..
I have no problem with Celtic fans being in the City end, given the game had no significance i'd rather have people at the game enjoying it. But some of them showed themselves up, cheering and shouting in the opposition teams designated seating proves they were 1. pissed out of their minds and 2. looking for a fight/argument and not friendly banter. Given that you were here for the patty, it just makes you think what type of patty you were looking for? There was a Celtic fan in front of me who had come with his mates who were City fans, and while he naturally wanted to scream when you scored, he kept it down to a "yes" and we all just had a laugh about it. Another two idiots at the back of the stand were singing YNWA most of the game, pissed as farts, and one guy had to be ejected as he was singing Celtic songs, weird.
