    Good goal Samaras, good penalty Brown, good performance, job done, mon the Dundee Utd.

    But can someone tell me why we bothered bringing the Twardzik kid on for just 60 seconds? What was the point?

    That's why they are called, Illiterate, Knuckle Dragging, Inbred, Soap Dodging, Drain on our Society, Neandrethal HUNS !!!!!

    Don't take them too serious mate. Once their Skint, Bigoted, Racist club goes under, that whole Hun mob will disappear into some dark, smelly sewer, never to be seen again !!
    Finally, we could have a good, clean society here in Scotland !!

    Great result Bhoys !! Brilliant goal Sammy !!

    Rangers fans greeting about things that don't concern them. there was nothing sectarian or racist in our songs today. what's their problem?

    my MOTM was the fans. after that it would be Hooper. the grit we showed in a tough away game was that of champions.

    Good performance. Hooper in particular was excellent.

    The fans were fantastic. They've wound up the huns something terrible today.

    To (most importantly) waste time and give him the mental boost of at least setting foot on the field.

    Waste time with a 2-0 lead in the last minute? That's rather unnecessary, isn't it?

    He should have been on with fifteen minutes to go if Lennon wants to give him a run out. He'll need games at some point if he's to have any chance of making it here and if the last few minutes of a Cup tie in which we're two goals ahead isn't the time then when is?

    If he might be good enough then give him a run out in these situations. If the coaching staff don't think that he's going to be good enough then give someone else a spot on the bench.

    Just back from the game. Having to sit in the home end to spend time with my Dad. Caley were awful. Having said that we got the job done and controlled the game. Good team performance today and Hooper put himself about upfront. Worst weather i have seen at a Caley game for a long time. Quality between Celtic and the rest of the old firm is HUGE. Tade, Hayes, Tokely were * awful today. Hope Hayes does not come here. Fans were fantastic aswell.

    Good performance today by CFC, and outstanding one by the supporters in what promised to be a very difficult tie. Looks like RTC has inspired a songfest that could last till the end of May
    Always nice to leave David Begg struggling to enjoy himself at the mike……yes, that’s David Begg as in

    Listened to Radio Scotland before the game and Murdo was back to his usual "dropping" of Stokes. Spouted what a terrible decision and Stokes musn`t be happy.

    Neil Lennon justified the team selection and the outcome of the game also; he was right to match Inverness in the midfield and if your playing a lone striker then Hooper will always be selected ahead of Stokes. Hooper`s all round performance is better than Stokes and plenty to do with why they work so well as a pairing.

    Anyway, we competed in the midfield with Inverness and then controlled, looking very comfortable throughout. We matched them on set-pieces (their only real area of strength) and the inclusion of Samaras helps in that area.

    Agree with Lennon that we could have easily scored had 3 or 4; defended well when we needed. Comfortable win and best display against them up there for some time.

    Meh... you can never be too careful. And I think you would have seen him come on if it was a worse team than ICT or if we were up by 3. I think Lenny wanted to get him on the field at some point just so that he could go through the motions of being brought on as a sub and have that hunger. Maybe Lennon's thinking this will be motivation for him to get better so he can get more playing time against sides like ICT instead of Peterhead.

    Twardzik would have been brought on to get his appearance bonus. O'Neill used to do it as well.

    Every time we beat Caley up there the fans(caley) ALWAYS moan about the referee. He was bias towards Celtic. EVERY time.

    job done, never in danger of losing that game, thought hooper was outstanding leading from the front and samaras' goal was a beauty! wanyama and ledley dominated that midfield without being outstanding!

    all in all a good win, maybe ICT can finally shut up about THAT game, thats 4 consecutive cup games we've beat them in.

    Lenny did his homework well before this game and the team selection and tactics were spot on. To beat ICT at home you have to match them for physical strength and match up in the midfield. We did that, job done
