Even with all of the excitement over the second Revolution of the season many bears just had to look in on last night’s Champions League action from Celtic Park.
Last season Giovanni led the Ibrox Tribute Act into the big time but his reward was a pay off after a record breaking campaign while Micky Beale went on a charm offensive from the Louden Tavern to the Blue Room.
Picking up NIL points with a goal difference of minus 20 last season has left mental scars but after Celtic lost their opening two matches in the Champions League many bears tuned in last night for more punishment as they prepared for action in the second rate UEFA competition.

Those that looked in would have watched a Celtic side put up a highly credible display against a club that is involved in the Champions League knock out ties almost every season. Twice in the last decade they have been runners-up.
On the back of five successive away wins in the SPFL Celtic showed that they are improving rapidly from the side that won at Ibrox at the start of December.
Beale managed to lose four crucial matches to Celtic in nine months, no matter what miracles Mister Clement conjures up Ibrox fans will judge him on the Derby fixture with two of the three remaining SPFL matches taking place at Celtic Park.
