Robbie Adds Spark To Celtic Display

Well, it was nearly a Carlsberg Wednesday……

It was only spoiled by a dubious refereeing decision at Murderwell that stopped the home side taking a two goal lead, and some poor finishing at Celtic Park.

(I didn’t hear Wattie question the descent or religion of the referee last night, did you? Mustn’t have been Tom Murphy)

Back to the poor finishing.

Arguably all the best chances against Hertz fell to Robbie Keane. He must have had four or five one-on-one’s with the Wee Huns’ keeper. Each time he failed to score, although Kello did have a couple of good stops.

No doubt had Sammy missed the same chances the Faithful would be calling for his head.

But there is one real difference.

Sammy more than likely wouldn’t have taken up the same positions as Robbie. His movement at times is quite mesmerizing. How anyone can hope to mark him…..

He drops deep, picks up the ball, lays off, then the next thing he’s in front of goal. His vision at times is amazing. I for one didn’t realise he had so much in his locker.

Anyway, on the night Robbie was maybe trying a wee bit too hard. There’s no doubt his presence has lifted the atmosphere at Celtic Park. And the goals will come for him. ( A winner at the Hunnery would do nicely!)

A win at Celtic Park is always welcome and last night there was only ever going to be one winner. Two goals in quick succession from Glenn Loovens and MAF were enough to give the Hoops all three points.

I don’t think Artur had a save to make all night, an even better statistic when you consider we ended the game with an 18 year-old Josh Thompson and 19 year-old Thomas Rogne in the middle of our defence!

Roll on Saturday, three points against the Sheep and the pressure is back on Lloyds FC….
