CHAMPIONS

A great night at Celtic Park. There was something in the air (other then the smell of chips and gravy) as I walked through the East End on the way to the match. Fans of all ages made their way together (some of the little ones wearing their football trainers.....just in case) and there was clearly excitement in the air. Tonight was the night we turn over the #2 team in the league and wrap up the title before the split. And thats just what the bhoys did. The defence deserve a special mention. They've been up and down throughout the season but tonight they showed their mettle. Great performances from Wilson and Boruc and good shifts all round for Blade, McManus and Telfer. The shut out at the back meant big bad john's early first half goal was enough to seal the win and claim the title although the pressure from Hearts late on ensured a nervy finish.

Pearson came on an had a man's game, getting stuck into the middle of everything and really putting himself about. Great to see McGeady getting a run out as a sub too and the boy certainly looked sharp.

So my first full season while living in Glasgow and I've eaten enough steak pies attending games to pay for a few weeks of Balde's wages so I've definitely played my part this year. Still got an old firm game in Celtic Park to look forword too and even if Strachan does revert to playing the youngsters for the remaining games there's enough talent available on the bench to make them enjoyable games to go to.

Soon congrats to the team, well done to the captain Neil Lennon and Strachan....who we buying in the summer :)
