Celtic 2-0 Wee Rangers

Another Sunday, another 2-0 win over Rangers (Berwick Rangers that is of course!). Todays scottish cup game was important in a sense and whilst a win is a win, it was one of the dullest games I have ever watched. Todays start up line was 
------------Zaluska-----------
---Wilson-Maj--Rogne-Mulgrew --
--Forrest -Kayal-Ledley -Freddy-- 
------------McCourt-----------
------------Samaras.-----------


 (The same as last week except Izzy had been dropped for Ljungberg)  


Stokes replaced Samaras following a hamstring injury and Marc Crosas made an appearance in the last five minutes.


In the first opening minutes there was speculation that they should have recieved a penalty however having watched this back I don't think it was. We also deserved a penalty following this incident.. 




 But once again wern't rewarded with it.


A poor pitch and poor ball could have also dampened the performance however a 17 minute goal from Dan the man and an 82nd minute goal from Scott Brown (which I must say had some very skilled twists and turns) assured the hoops were to be entered into the next round draw which is to occur on Tuesday at 2:30 pm. (Hopefully it will be against the Killies) .






Man of the match today in my opinion would have to be Biram Kayal. Another excellent performance and what I especially like is that if he's tackled he's not one to roll around the way Bile Lafferty would (i.e like a cheating scum of the earth so and so..). Think he has amazing potential and if he continues on the road he is on at the minute I hope he is First team choice every week! 


Major credit yet again to the fans who from 0-90 (+2) belted and bounced their hearts out in the old school style terracing of Berwicks home ground despite the un-spectacular performance which despite the win contrasted the excitement of last weeks old firm. 




It should also be noted that since the beautiful Gary Hoopers goal at the pig pen in October, Celtic have failed to score from over 90 corners, something which, in my opinion, must be looked at or severely developed on. 


Anyway, less of the doom and gloom! We won and that's all that matters!          


Come on the Bhoys in Green! HAIL HAIL
