Scottish Cup Celtic 3 - 1 Inverness

How do you like your coffee Mr Keevins?

Bitter, bitter as *! nae suger, nae milk, just as bitter as you can make it, just to cheer up my bitter little life.

 

Same team as yesterday, if everyone's fit. Would have no problem if Oh came in though.

 

Our lot better not be complacent. Caley will be fighting for the European spot and the money that goes with it.

 

Same team as yesterday I reckon.

Only question marks is whether Welsh comes in for Iwata but I seriously doubt it.

And whether Maeda comes in for Abada. Thought Abada done really well yesterday and should start if he’s fit. Harsh on Maeda but we don’t need his work rate / tracking back in this game.

 

Play like we did yesterday and it will be over by half tine

 

Team from yesterday injuries barring.

 

Keevins was saying the other night that Ange would definitely be away if Spurs come in for him as well, to the point where you can tell he is desperate for it to happen. * old reptile.

 

at least the surface looks ok

hope it doesn't cut up

 

Noticed arsenal wearing their new kit in today's game. Will we be wearing ours for the final do we think?

 

If we do I'll jobby maself with excitement.

 

Their new kit is already on sale, ours hasn't even been announced yet.

 

Ah right didn't realise it was out already. Remember we used to do that with umbro but can't think of any occasions last few years where we've done it.

 

Iwata starts for me, fittest, sharpest, and going on feedback from yesterday, probably a good stand-in for CCV. Gutted for Yuki though, i really liked the though of a left-footed CB, he might still come good.

 

Only just seen that beathun has got the gig for next weekend. 1 nil down before we start again.

 

Mind they used to do that sometimes. Play the final in one of the next seasons new kits.
Would be amazing to see the new Hoops (the nice ones not that monstrosity).

 

CALEY THISTLE will be cheered on in Saturday’s Scottish Cup final by barely 6,000 fans.

SunSport understands sluggish sales for the showdown with Treble-chasing Celtic have forced club chiefs to hand back a few thousands briefs to the SFA which are now expected to be handed over to their Hampden opponents.



There remains fury up north for the SFA’s decision - under strong pressure from broadcasters BBC Scotland and Viaplay - to move back the traditional 3pm start to a 5.30pm kick-off.

We revealed the shock plan to switch the usual time and that it was prompted by the English FA’s decision last month to return their Cup final on Saturday to 3pm.

The TV companies feared their coverage of Celtic versus Caley Thistle would be hammered for ratings if it directly clashed with the historic Manchester derby showpiece.

And Police Scotland also decided to sanction the later start


The original plan for a stand-alone kick-off was to make it lunchtime but the SFA, listening especially to Caley Thistle chiefs, backed down and opted instead for later.

Both Caley Thistle and Celtic immediately reacted with fury as did their respective supporters, many of whom had already made travel plans with a 3pm start in mind.

The highly controversial issue was even raised by politicians in Holyrood.

Now, though, rank Championshipunderdogs Caley Thistle face having to take on the might of Ange Postecoglou’s Celts with far fewer than the 10,000 they’d previously hoped for

 

Lol..

 

This.
