Celtic powered on domestically with a 4-1 win over Ross County at Dingwall.
Four headed goals retained the hoops unbeaten league record although Neil Lennon would have been happier if the goals had come from his strikers.
Virgil van Dijk and Joe Ledley proved that heading the the ball isn’t a lost art with two goals apiece as they notched their first goals of the season.
After the midweek disappointment of the Champions League Lennon was delighted by the response of his players.
“It was a great reaction to Wednesday night and we have preserved our unbeaten (league) record which delights me,” the hoops boss said. “I thought we played very well.
“There were some good individual performances. It is a constant source of frustration that we don’t score enough headers from set-pieces.
“You are waiting on one and we get four in one day so it has been a good day all-round and puts pressure on the rest of the teams to keep with us.”
Turning to his goalscorers the Irishman added: “He (Virgil) has got that in his game.
“He has been a bit off in his timing so we have worked with him on that and we are delighted that he has been able to come up with two.
“He is a special player, he is playing exceptionally well at the minute, as are a number of them.
“Joe has had a relatively stop-start beginning to the season. He has had a few injury problems and he is just starting to look more like himself.”
In Italy today AC Milan’s dismal form continued with a 0-0 draw away to bottom of the table Chievo in Serie A.
Come on the Celtic, come on the hoops. HAIL HAIL.
While I love Celtic as much as any real Tim, and love to watch them win every week, the game in Scotland is pathetic. Watching Ross County yesterday was painful.
Watching the performance of terrible referees is equally painful. That clown yesterday had one decision to make to produce a red card for the retarded defender, (so insignificant that I can’t even remember his name), but opted instead to ignore his rants as well as his incompetence in the tackle, to produce only a yellow.
Then in true form for a “quality” Scottish ref, he gives the same punishment to Brown for celebrating in front of the retarded one!
But the quality of the game is awful. Let’s face it, when a club as bed as Motherwell, Inverness or Aberdeen are fighting to be runners up, there is a real problem.
We are bad because we can afford to be this bad and still be the best by miles. Here we are in November and already the league is over, we are as good as out of the Champions League, out of the League Cup, and have the Scottish Cup to play for.
Are we really surprised Joe Ledley is going to go in the summer too?
I think the reason for the yellow is that it means tmhere can be no retrospective punishment as the matter is debemed to have been dealt with.
Handy eh?
