[0762]

FT and a solid 0-2 win for The Hoops with Julienne turning out to be the MOTM but with other notable performances by players like M'Boli, Magregor and even Broony looked like he was "well up" for this match with an "in your faces" performance from start to finish and Forster was well protected by a solid Hoops' defence with little to do TBH. Edouard proving again what a quality, predatory striker he is in big matches. Even the refereeing performance wasn't too bad overall as Madden clearly opted for "keeping the game moving" rather than issuing the appropriate yellow card for certain offences that merited that form of action. As for that last secs "straight red card" for Jones outrageous leg-breaking tackle on Bauer, I'd like to see the SFA intervene and increase the normal one match ban to a three match ban - a case of the "punishment should fit the crime". I suppose Celtic have "laid down a marker" of some sorts but as Lenny has previously commented: "There is still a long way to go before any league title can be seriously considered to be in the bag"! Too true but it's a job well done today v dangerous opponents and Celtic still unbeaten and no pts dropped so far!
