Sandman’s Definitive Ratings – Celtic v Carrot and Tattie

“It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.” – Lech Walesa

THE FRIENDLY GHOST – 6/10 – Surprisingly unfettered given the number of times they encroached into our box/appeared threatening. Kasper kept his head, kept the urgency demands blaring from the deep; sadly unheeded.

WAYNE GRETZKY – N/A – Oh, no. An early signal it may be one of those nights as The Moose goes lame on the half hour mark. By the time he’s been re-shod and the hoof heals properly, it’ll be Christmas.

KATIE – 5.5/10 – To be honest, I expected more. KT one of the few who had the Champions League vibe going early but also caught FBV (Final Baw Virus) and a host of great positions were squandered before fatigue curtailed his gig.

OF JUSTICE – 7/10 MOTM – Well, here we are again. The most-maligned does come up trumps to steady the ship and provide a foundation at the back most welcome. As many old heads around him fluttered in the pressure, The Ginger Baresi went through the motions like it was another SPL jobber contest. Calmest head on the park, sharpest wits too.

GET CARTER – 5.5/10 – Obviously, laughing too much at the Brugge performance yesterday incited near-fatal muscle memory and CCV almost dropped a clanger as loud as his Brugge OG with a moment of complete abstraction. So close to being punished by an audacious, unlucky, 40-yard pitch Tiger Woods would have applauded. Phew. That incident was a suitable metaphor to describe the collective Celtic mindset. Around it CCV was habitually combative but never seemed too comfortable with their sprightly forward play.
