Thank Jan for that

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink's last gasp winner against Rangers set Celts worldwide into ecstacy and Scottish football into meltdown.

As supporters wake up to hangovers of joy the SFA and SPL have got a nightmare on their hands as they sort out the fixture list and the rammy at the final whistle.

Inbetween two ties against Fiorentina Rangers return to Celtic Park almost certainly without Carlos Cueller, Davie Weir and Alan McGregor.

Hopefully the Celts will be sitting two points clear at the top of the league with the benefits of an 8 day break after beating Aberdeen on Saturday.

Balde's goal gives the reserves three precious points

The softest of touches from Bobo Balde's deflected home a 51st minute free-kick to give Celtic's reserve side three precious points at Love Street today.

The win cuts St Mirren's lead at the top of the table down to five points with Celtic having two games in hand.

Paul McGowan opened the scoring for Celtic with a 16th minute header with Balde extending the lead early in the second half when he deflected home a free kick from substitute Michael Graham.

Saints pulled a goal back through Mark Docherty but Celtic held on to take the points with Tommy Burns a welcome spectator at the match.

Youth's cup joy

Congratulations to John McLaughlan and his youth side on reaching the final of the SFA Youth Cup.

A 2-1 win tonight at Aberdeen did the trick with the prolific Kevin Cawley and captain Jason Marr scoring the goals to reach next week's final against Rangers.

A glimmer of life and hope

It wasn't so elusive after all!

A win, some goals, some passion, commitment, it was all there to see at Motherwell as we enjoyed a comfortable 4-1 win.

Too often we've made teams look better than they are, yesterday with a good balance about the team we created chances and scored them.

Rangers will be a totally different test but with some belief and confidence around we should be well capable of beating Watties Invincibles.
