We have all seen Airdrie throw away leads in the past so that was positive today. Great that Josh Kerr scored the third- he could have blasted the shot but a clever finish and the boy deserves a goal. Could have have got nervy when Clyde came back with their goals but we didn't. The next game is the big one - if we need to take ourselves seriously we need to beat Dumbarton. Regarding David Hutton - great memories especially against Stenhousemuir and Celtic- and the boy was 100% - can't remember who we were playing but remember he ran up to the centre circle to remonstrate about a tackle on one of our players. Finally, my hat off to Ayr Diamond. I questioned his announcement of Hutton going - but he was spot on.

Coming back from behind is a good psychological boost as well - too many times this season and last, we had no idea how to get back into a game when we went a goal down . There was an inevitability creeping in that when we lost a goal, the game was over. But hopefully today, that puts that one to bed. Granted we never got 3 points, but that point could be important at the end of the season.

Outplayed, too slow and always 2nd to the ball in the first half agreed. But we were clearly the better side in the 2nd half - we looked hungry, got that 2nd ball and played some decent stuff. Could have got 3 points if Connell's shot hadnt cracked off the bar/post. Am assuming your DTV link froze at half time based on your comments.

I feel compelled to call you Sir. Or is Chap ok? -
The Celtic All Seasons thread

Even though this plonker is testing negative he still could have the virus. The other players and staff will have to be interviewed. Asked if they were in close proximity to him for 15 minutes or so - I am guessing he was in a busy dressing room pre kick off, half time and post match. If so, then Scottish Government has an issue. If that is the case, several Celtic players and staff will have to isolate. And before you ask, I'm not from a medical background. I am just using the protocol that Jason Leitch has said is to be used for teachers, staff and pupils. So, the Scottish Government will have to implement the testing protocol resulting in potential postponements as a bulk of Celtic players and staff could now be asymptomatic - or ignore it and have one protocol for Celtic and one for schools and the rest of us. -
With reduced fixtures this season we need a good start - hopefully with a good couple of wins. I remember 2 years ago we dropped 3 points in the 2nd game of the season at home to Montrose and it was all fits and starts after that. Last year, 3 points dropped at home against Forfar and it was all fits and starts until we scudded them 4-1 at Station Park. We have to get out the traps fast and try and get some consistency - and I don't mean losing..

Me too. I did look at his history and it is rather underwhelming . I am assuming backup though. Regarding up front, I do hope we do bring in some decent cover. Roy looked ok when he arrived but regressed very quickly. Maybe we will see a different player this season - one who tries to contribute, get involved, get in about the opposition and make his presence felt instead of floating about, flattering to deceive. Maybe it is confidence. But one thing is for sure, if he continues to play the way he did when he came on last season and doesn't score, rightly or wrongly he is going to get a hard time.
