Don't think thats the sort of Butchers Lennon would be shiteing it from tbh

There's another butchers in Lanarkshire you'd literally shite it from, JM Barr of Wishaw, took out about ten people with E Coli pies about 20 years ago.

Do they have one of those European jaunts this week?  Will they be puffed out?

Sparta Prague at home. 

To be fair Celtic second string could easily beat most sides outside top 3 or 4. 

I listen to Sportsound podcast on my dog walks and have been interested hearing the likes of Packy Bonner and Media pundits waxing lyrical about Celtics achievements in potentially winning a quadruple treble. Now I admit even given the gulf in resources that would be quite an achievement....but....I rarely if ever hear those comments with any context. It is almost as if Celtic have achieved all of this with the same budgets and resources of all the other teams. 

When Celtic get beaten by PSG or Man City we get reminded of the fact that they paid a squillion £ for one player. When Celtic or (now) Rangers beat another team by 5 or 6 goals in the SPFL it is rarely mentioned in the media. 

The reality is I hope we can give Celtic a game this weekend but if we are beaten comfortably by 3 or 4 goals it is like us beating Brechin City by the same margin. 

To actually make it fairer then Celtic should start each game (bar Rangers) on -3. Then we would potentially have a competitive league. 

Anyway I hope we can give them a fright right up until the referee awards them a penalty for something innocuous that we would NEVER have been awarded at the other end... same old same old..

Mon the Well.

I assume Turnbull will be given a rare appearance from the bench for this one.  A good chance he'll even pop up with his first goal as well. 

Anything we get from this game is a bonus, and anything other than an absolute scuddin' (six, seven or eight) I'll shrug my shoulders and carry on my day based on some of the reasons @welldaft mentioned above. 

These games are generally shite, and its doubly shite when it falls just before an international week as it almost feels as if it's even longer between our proper league games. 

I said at the start of the season I thought playing in front of no fans will actually benefit Celtic and Rangers more than the others and I stand by that. I'll go out and a limb and say that for as long as fans aren't there, Celtic and Rangers won't lose a league game to any of the other 10.

EDIT- Completely forgot as per @capt_oats that we beat them under McGhee at Parkhead. 

It was a weird season that folk seem to have glossed over a bit despite the top 6 finish. There was also the 7-0 at Parkhead live on national television on the last day of the season where we turned up with our suitcases and boarding passes packed and not a single f**k was given by any Motherwell player on the park.

Since the last win at Parkhead it's:

P 16 W 0 D 3 L13 F 9 A 47

I reckon after a Europa game they will start him v us.

Goal is a certainty in that "former players always" sorta way
