Soccer Football - Scottish Premiership - Celtic v Motherwell - Celtic Park, Glasgow, Scotland, Britain - May 14, 2022 Celtic's Kyogo Furuhashi celebrates scoring their first goal Action Images via Reuters/Molly Darlington
Hugh Keevins might have finally learned not to write off this Celtic team by celebrating dropped points before the final whistle is blown.
Last summer Ange Postecoglou told his first squad of players that We Never Stop but the veteran Shock Jock was busy thinking up the witty acronym of Absolutely Not Good Enough.
Last season there was the classic announcement that one goal would settle the League Cup Final after Paul Hanlon netted against Postecoglou’s side but within 60 seconds Kyogo Furuhashi equalised before scoring the winner in normal time.
At the start of October Keevins predicted that Celtic’s season was about to implode when St Johnstone scored an equaliser- this time Giorgos Giakoumakis burst a certain bubble in the Super Scoreboard studio.
If there is an audio equivalent of Deja Vu it surfaced again yesterday with fans able to listen to the late events from Celtic Park and studio reaction on SSB thanks to Podbay.
49 minutes
Keevins: Well last night’s programme, devoted to Celtic supporters saying if we had taken our chances (in relation to their Champions League). Well they can say it again tonight because the only good news that Giovanni van Bronckhorst has had this week is at Celtic Park this afternoon.
Mark Wilson: And the lift that will give the Rangers fans and players going to that game
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALFLASHES
Gordon Duncan: Celtic back in front, it is Celtic 3 Dundee United 2 and it is Kyogo, it was a corner headed in. He won’t score many headers but he did. (I) said it a minute ago, do it against St Johnstone, they tend to find a way and it’s Celtic 3 Dundee United 2
Gordon Dalziel: Incredible, absolutely incredible. You’ve got to congratulate them on it. Even when they look, Dundee United get that goal, they’ve got something to hang onto, they feel they’ve got a point- Celtic just have this knack to find the winners.
Gordon Duncan: Eh, yeah. Celtic back in front then. Late, late drama at Celtic Park, it looked like two points dropped, three back on the board now as things stand unless there is another sting in the tail.
Kyogo popping up with a very, very important goal. Four added minutes added on, and at Celtic Park still celebrates that like a fan base that knows how important that might be. Falkirk against Dunfermline….
Gordon Duncan: Sorry Dave (reporting from Ross County v St Mirren) to interrupt you, there’s been another goal at Celtic Park
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALFLASHES…………
Gordon Duncan: And it is a goal forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr- Celtic. Abada dinks it over Birigitti and that will be that. Sorry Dave Galloway, carry on…………….
Keevins: (52 minutes 20 seconds) : Having said that Celtic stood on the brink of a major foul up I have to credit them, and praise them because this is more than just an act. This is a practised tactic from Celtic because Giakoumakis at Perth, Greg Taylor at Tynecastle, and now to go 3-2 in front was absolutely breathtaking but to make it 4-2 is incredible.

Keeevins the pricks prick ??????
It’s disheartening your sitting thinking your team playing tomorrow that if you win you two points closer to spl leaders in the space of 2or 3 minutes your playing to hold on to there coat tails now that’s puts enormous pressure on fans and players who is feeling it after been official the worst team in European champions league history surely will affect them when trying to attract top young hopeful talent from abroad that name sticks just like liquidation terribly week in RIFC ten year history
You wonder when pishy drawers will get the message to stop talking Celtic down,but then again let him keep opening his trap as he is always getting it wrong.
Imagine sitting in that studio with old pishy pants the smell it would make your stomach turn uhhhh
The Celtic of September, October and November 2022 are streaks ahead of the same period 2021 and Keevins and his cronies know that. Why ? Because it was them who tore into Ange and Celtic during that period and have been running scared since !!!
I think Hugh has early on set dementia or he suffers from insanity, insanity is to say/do the same thing knowing the result will be the same. How many times has he flagged up impending doom only for Celtic to score late, WE NEVER STOP!!
Going to meet his faker soon. Was his dearthair really a Priest?
