    I just want Lennon to route the huns and * humiliate them completely a good 4-0 or more would be * majestic.

    I'm more than happy with a double. Treble Treble would be fantastic but after how Rodgers left and the mess it left I'm not going to cry about it if we don't achieve it.

    The league is the utmost priority, but being two games from the treble treble means not achieving it would sting. It would also take away the feeling of invincibility in big domestic games which has built up over the last two and a half years.

    I’m hoping we click as a team once Rogic/Christie/Ntcham are back and sign off the season with a bit of style, but winning is all that really matters at this time of year.

    Aberdeen can be a pain in the * so hope we have a full squad by then. If Rogic, Ntcham and Christie are all back then we should be fine. The final will be the easier match.
    The reality is we should win all trophies. Most teams are gash on big * so struggle at Hampden

    Only ever won 5 trebles , so to do 3 of them in a row would be some achievement and shows you what we are witnessing on our way to hopefully the "10" .

    We couldn't get a treble on this league run with the huns out of it,
    Although deila came close now they are back in the spl we stand on the brink of cleaning up again so they can't discredit it , they've not had a sniff of a trophy.

    A treble treble would be nice .
    The league should be good as we have a 10 point lead but I do worry about the cup semi final as we have been pretty average of late .

    No I don't think winning a treble is a normal season at all, so you don't need to tell me that but cheers anyway :50:

    At the start of the season I wanted the league, obviously, and a cup but now, from the position we are in that obviously changes. We have the league cup in the bag, failing to win the league from the position we are in just now is virtually impossible. So that leaves 2 cup games the first one is against an aberdeen side that we have a superb (recently) record against at Hampden and who will also be without a couple of their better players, while we will have some of our better players returned/returning. The winner of this game will then go on to play either hearts or ICT in the final. Throw in Lenny will be desperate to win this and yes it would be a 'failure', imo, if we don't win it.

    In all honesty i dont think we can dismiss the massive upheaval weve faced without pause.

    What the snake did was surely unforgivable. Not only did he put the league title in jeopardy but also the 10. No celtic fan, no matter the opportunity in front of them would ever concieve of such a betrayal.

    With that in mind. I expect one of two things will happen. Either we will stumble over the line with with scrappy late winners and take the title with three or four games to go, or, returning players and a sense of rightous indignation will galvanise us and we will obliterate all in our path.

    Obviously a treble would be * hardingly wonderful, especially given the circumstances. But if we dont get past the sheep (i can see them parking two buses and taking the tie on penalties) then i wont be angry at the players or lenny. A failure to take the treble would be the snakes fault, and his alone.

    That being said the league is the alpha and omega of our existence right now. One step closer to the immortal 10 and another lance in the unbeating dead heart of the * across the city.

    Will be very disappointed if we don't win the treble treble. Itll never be done again in my lifetime and with only 2 games to go in the cup, them players will should be busting a gut to get that scots cp this season. The double treble was a massive achievement but winning 9 trophies in 3 seasons is stuff of legends! Surprised at some saying it wouldn't be to bad if aberdeen beat us in the semis. Shocking mindset!

    Depends on how Rangers do. If we win all 3 and they get 3 then before the split, if they get 4 then we will go 15 points with 5 games so only a draw.

    I don't think it is a shocking mindset if some of us are not taking it for granted that we will win the treble.
    A tad of humility goes a long way in football and life in general I feel. Aberdeen are a very good team with some very good players and are on a run of good form at the moment, and are also somewhat cup specialists, and we struggled in the League Cup Final with them, so to be cagey towards this semi is not only a natural response, but sensible in the circumstances I think.
    It is called treating the opposition with respect.
    But of course we should also approach the match with confidence and due diligence.We are also cup specialists, with some very good players, and also on top form just now.

    It's a tricky position for Neil. He doesn't want to change the system to much for obvious reasons. We also know that Lennon's style is different to Brendan's. So for time being he is having to persist with a game plan that isn't his. But I get it, changing the system when the season is nearly done would be a poor decision.

    With that in mind, consistent wins in the league is a job well done.

    I hope and think he will get the treble too. But a comfortable finish to the league is where my expectations are right now.

    If he is permanent manager next season (which I hope he is) the expectations will go up a few levels. We will be judging the transfers, results, European displays etc.

    Triple Treble makes sense. Double Treble, Triple Treble, Quadruple Treble, etc. In your shoot-em-up video games they say "double kill", "triple kill!".. etc, not "treble kill", it's grammatically incorrect that's why. Triple treble

    Aye, walk into a pub and ask for a single vodka, you'll get one.

    Ask for a double vodka, you'll get one.

    Ask for a triple vodka, you'll get slashed.

    Humiliate the Huns twice more, get past Aberdeen in the cup, seal the league shortly after the split, win Scottish cup, play a few fringe/youth players in the remaining league games.
