We're on the crest of a wave at the moment and Celtic have shown themselves to be pretty fragile this season, but as long as we don't get an absolute doing I won't be too troubled by the result. A point would be very welcome, 3 points would be a dream come true, but we've managed to pick up points against the teams it's important to beat this season and that's the most important thing.
Still getting excited about it though!

So a tortuous afternoon glancing at Accies twitter. Amazing that two of the very best ever away days came back to back and I am consoled by being present at one of them at least.
A few random observations. Wasn't Sportscene dreadful? Only showed about 4 mins of action including replays. Recorded the Sky SPL Round Up and it was much better, showing Louis's bad decision to shoot instead of playing in Tony for a certain goal. Also showed a couple of Celtic chances that BBC didn't. Also noted at least three Accies fans celebrating directly behind Craig Gordon's goal. Saw a pic on twitter of our support and while it looked like our biggest ever at Parkhead I would have said it was about 450, maybe 500 at a push but club saying about 650 and media going a bit mental and saying 800-1000.
Ziggy should have a £2m price tag on his head. Seriously. Maybe settle for £1.5m for wee Ali. These players must not be sold on the cheap, not that I think the club would do that. I think they should both be in the Scotland squad, mind you Ali is no Calum McGregor! Great to see Mikey Devlin and Stephen Hendrie attract some praise after a difficult time for them both, while no one seems to bat an eyelid now at Grant Gillespie being a standout in every game.
For some reason I have a feeling the next game will be a draw, which will be ok, but if we win it then it's Dundee then it's Partick. If Celtic slip up again we could be even further ahead of them. Maybe we will need to re-appraise our expectations for the season if that happens.
