Tuesday’s Ghost Game – Why Celtic might not win the league on Wednesday night

Good morning everyone, today is a Beautiful Sunday, a very Beautiful Sunday you could say and each and everyone one of us will be waking up with a big smile on our faces, even those who overdone it a little with yet another night of Glasgow Derby victory celebrations!

Brendan Rodgers said last week that we would be looking to have some fun, and he was a man of his word. We did indeed have plenty of fun, before, during and after the 2-1 win over theRangers.

Despite the nervy ending, (is there ever any other ending in these games?) we more than deserved our victory, barring one lapse in Celtic’s concentration for their goal, Joe Hart didn’t have a save to make. We were the hungriest team, the most talented team and a team of winners, we dominated the team of losers throughout, laving their captain disappointed yet again.

The only complaint was that we didn’t score more goals to further flex our authority. Brendan said that if the penalty had gone in we’d have been looking at four or five so that’s slightly annoying that we missed out on a real title winning skelping.

And theRangers looked like a side lacking in self belief, and are a very limited side in terms of ability, it’s a travesty that we even gave them a hint of hope in the title race.

However, you can only play what’s in front of you, and we got the job done, which all but guarantees us the title. Indeed we could go to Rugby Park on Wednesday night as Champions if theRangers fail to beat Dundee at Ibrox on Tuesday evening in what is going to be a well short of capacity crowd.

There’s a thread on their biggest forum talking about this game on Tuesday and asking who is going – judging by the responses none of them are!

Older readers will remember that they had a game to play at Ibrox against Partick Thistle in May 1979 a few days after the 4-2 game where Celtic needed to win to become Champions. A draw would have meant that Rangers just needed to beat Thistle to become Champions. Ibrox would have been packed. In turned out that in what was know as ‘The Ghost Game’ just a few thousand showed up.

History has a funny way of repeating itself…

It was a pleasure to be at Celtic Park yesterday. The atmosphere was electric and the final scoreline made it all the better. These are the days that you truly appreciate as a Celtic supporter. Best team in the country, best team on the day, Champions elect Glasgow Celtic…on now to Rugby Park where we might have to get a point to wrap up the title, depending on what happens in the Ghost Game at Ibrox the night before…
