    Genuine answer; they definitely had a chance. Think Milan would have been too strong for them in the final though.

    Milan had an incredible team on paper but we had the heart and fight. Would definitely have had w chance but they would be favourites.

     

    Let’s not forget Roma cheating Dundee United in the 80s too, very unfortunate.

    What a strange game it was. Firstly credit to Maybole who worked hard and with the experience of Mick McCann & McChesney in the team worked hard to upset Arthurlie and it worked in the first half as they deservedly went in 2-0 up. Arthurlie came out and made changes early in the second half and it worked at Leyden, Ralston & Simeon  turned the game on its head and clinch the title. 
     

    special mention to the referee who allowed Ally Semple to kick Healy after he already had the ball in his hands. He also missed a good shout for a Maybole pen in the first half then gave the softest penalty at the end which thankfully Scott saved. Ross Birrell is going to go far!! 

    Amazing game really enjoyed it. Thought it was a stonewaller for Maybole in the first half, but as you say the one they got was as soft as you'll ever see. There was a tackle near the end infront of the Maybole bench that looked a stick on red card where I was but the player only got booked.

    Thought number 11 was impressive for Arthurlie showed some great touches.

    Care to elaborate further please and how that is considered sectarian?

    I keep seeing on this sub people make these claims about Celtic and our fans being bigots but can never back up that statement 

    So I have some genuine interest.

    Im just hoping it’s not straw clutching and whataboutery. 

    Google "sniper at work" signs, then look at the "genius at work" Celtic View cover. Tell me that's a coincidence.

    Well deserved victory tonight

    I had left before the goal went in but there certainly seemed to only be one winner throughout.

    Tam Orr had a good showing though apart from the shot where he should have squared it for a tap in but you can see why he's scored so many.

    Is Adam Corbett always played at right back? Transfermarkt has him listed as a central defender. I thought he done well at times but you could see that he was hesitant and wasn't sure when to go forward. He also did get dragged inside a few times but I think that was more to do with the movement of the Kelty forwards.

    At their 2nd goal we gave the guy too much space to shoot but it was a great strike all the same. 

    At 4-1 we're more or less through but 4-2 and with Haaland coming back  for the 2nd leg I'd say we have just a slight advantage. I feel it's going to be another chaotic game with 50,000 at Ibrox and a big Dortmund away support, it could be a classic. 

    Still a massive ask to go through over two legs even in this position. But that is for another day. Tonight will be remembered forever no matter what happens next week.

    It was. I also think it suits us perfectly when you have Lundstram in the side. He positions himself well behind the pressing line and mops up a high percentage of loose/long balls played out from the back. His anticipation and reaction times are great.

    He was one of a number of excellent performers last night. Really good on his day. Hopefully he's more settled now and can perform like he has against Hearts and Hibs going forward.

    That's why I mentioned in my first post that it was only really until the last 20 minutes or so that you could see what he was good at. I thought our high press was a lot better last night for the majority of the match, maybe the best it's been under Gio aside from the Sparta Prague match. We closed down quickly, we cut off passing lanes and forced Hibs to kick it long quite often. I'd say that probably had more to do with it than a lack of ability on Hibs' part.

    Our closing down was excellent last night.
