Comfortable enough Three points after a difficult away trip in Europe.
I can say it now we’ve played. We dodged a very expensive bullet in Shankland! Hearts have made a huge error not cashing in when he was on fire in the run up to last januarys window.

I know this. I just like to highlight that the Old Firm greet about lack of domestic competition while they Hoover up all the cash. If they want serious competition then maybe they should look at ways of distributing the cash in a more even handed way.

Hahahaha
Maybe if the money was shared in a more even way we could get rid of that abomination of a pitch sooner.
Just kidding…

There was about 5,000 empty seats at Killie. They choose not to sell them, then any financial issues are theirs alone. When we played Well the other week, they said their team was put together for £300k. They maximise their earning potential from both of us, they could have much better teams. They choose not to. That’s their funeral. Every team benefits from a team being in the CL. I think the figure was £1.6m. That’s plenty.

One day it'll click for you.
See when we sell you those 5,000 seats, another 2,000 of the Killie fans who actually did attend yesterday would choose to stay at home instead. Maybe we should sell you their seats too! That'll solve everything!

Thought Killie were excellent yesterday btw. Before the game I was concerned we'd be onto a hiding but we were the better team on the day, but for a howler from McCrorie and not being clinical enough. Not a stat daft person, but an xG of 2.3 all from open play and 18 shots against a squad assembled from that amount of money is good going, McInnes got his tactics completely spot on.
The least said about the attention seeking cunts in the away end for the minute (or rather, 20 seconds) silence the better. Embarrassing.

I saw the Hatate challenge on Sportscene. I know we are conditioned to just accept this kind of thing when they are playing but that’s not even up for debate. As clear a Red card as you’ll see.
I did have a wee laugh at the ever impartial Beeb trying to even things up with the Killie player brushing his arm into the Celtic keepers chest. Why did the Keeper go down holding his face. Fucking pathetic and embarrassing.
Maybe we could bring in strict liability and actually punish clubs directly for their fan’s behaviour. Only then will you see things starting to improve.
If supporters thought their club was going to lose points / stand closures as a result of some attention seeking clown’s behaviour then self policing would kick in and that’s the only way to tackle the problems in our game!
Maybe then other clubs would be more accommodating. Magic is correct that half empty stadiums are not helping anybody and the more we can do to tackle that problem the better. Before you jump on me I want to see Rugby Park full of Killie fans, Dens full of Dundee fans , Easter Road burnt to the ground
