HT: Aberdeen 0 Celtic 3
Posted by: | CommentsHoops Humping The Dandy Dons!
A first half humping has been the order up at Pittodrie with Celtic converting three of their THIRTEEN chances!
Aiden McGeady opened the scoring after 28 mins with a tap-in following good work from Fortune, then followed up with his and Celtic’s second on 42 minutes, curling a shot into Langfield’s net.
But the Bhoys weren’t finished there. Skippy opened his SPL account a minute before the half-time whistle.
A mention must go to the form of Shaun Maloney. He’s ripping the Sheep apart!

Who Would YOU Start Upfront?
Posted by: | CommentsStriking Dilemma For Mogga
In the run up to Celtic’s opening SPL fixture of the season today, Scott McDonald hinted strongly about a dilemma facing new manager Tony Mowbray.
Just who does he start with upfront today?
Aberdeen can be a tricky place for us, as we found out last season so it’s vital that we start the new campaign with all three points.
And to do so we must get the striking options right.
So far Skippy has done enough to secure his place, but has new Bhoy Marc-Antoine Fortune? I don’t think he’s settled yet, of course he will have to soon, but dropping him to the bench won’t do his confidence any good.
Which brings us back to big Sammy. Georgios Samaras.
Starting games in the past haven’t always worked for the Greek fellow. To me he seems to be better coming off the bench and making an impact, as he proved in Moscow.
But it’s not up to us, it’s Tony’s call.
With less than an hour to kick-off at Pittodrie I think Mogga will go with Skippy and MAF. What do you think?
P.S. Chris Killen?
Five Star Celts Give Egyptians The Hump!
Posted by: | CommentsCeltic 5 Al Ahly 0
As the first Scottish side to grace the new Wembley, Celtic were determined not to let anyone down.
Wearing the new bumble bee Hoops, the Bhoys took the lead on 31 minutes thanks to clever work from born again midfielder Massimo Donati. The Italian coolly rounded the Egyptian goalie to put Celtic one up.
Next on the score sheet was Scott McDonald, the little Aussie netting from the spot after being brought down by the keeper.
Half-time: Celtic 2 Al Ahly 0
The chances were now coming thick and fast so it was no surprise when Shaun Maloney cut inside from the left and slammed the ball into the bottom corner for Celtic’s third.
Number four was the best of the lot. From a similar position that Shaun scored, Skippy turned left then right and curled a beauty into the top corner for a great goal.
Then with just seven minutes left substitute Chris Killen kept up his good scoring form sweeping the ball home from eight yards to make it five-nil to the Bhoys.
So, a good exercise for Tony’s Tigers, with the added bonus of new bhoy Daniel Fox playing for the last fifteen minutes.
Well done Bhoys!
Mogga Marks Card Of Troublesome Two
Posted by: | CommentsAiden & Artur Told To Toe The Line
One of the reasons we ended last season losing the SPL title could be put down to the indiscipline of players within the camp.
Most notably The Holy Goalie and Aiden McGeady were the biggest culprits for a variety of on and off field discrepancies.
It’s good to see Tony Mowbray addressing the issue immediately because they may have got away with so much under WGS stewardship but a new man has new rules.
And while he’s at it, Mogga could do well to tell Skippy and Sammy to do there talking on the park and not in the papers.
As well as having a word with Stephen McManus.
If he’s to remain as captain of the club, then he better stop this idea that he’s got about playing when he’s not fully fit and letting the team, the manager and the fans down, like he did at Tynecastle and Pittodrie.
Or give the captaincy to Player of the Year Gary Caldwell.
