The Thursday Stickler

Shamrocks and Shenanigans

Get it right up ye Thursday.

Wednesday night at Celtic Park. Liam McGrandles treats the capacity crowd to a rousing metal medley of his greatest cover versions.

The noise at kick off is near deafening and it gets even louder in the first 30 seconds as Nick Kuhn surprisingly cuts inside and shoots Celtic into the lead. Yes, we’re in Dreamland. Dreaming that there wasn’t a great big sodding tree standing offside in front of Manuel Neuer.

Everybody knows that right on half time is a bad time to lose a goal. That doesn’t stop it happening though does it. To the dismay of every Hoops fan Olise cuts inside Greg Taylor and unleashes hell into the roof of the net.

Looking for a turnaround at the start of the second half Celtic chose to do the exact opposite by leaving Harry Kane completely unmarked at a corner. The inevitable happened.
