A crowd of around 30,000 is expected at Ibrox tomorrow night for the visit of St Johnstone.

With The Great Scottish Run taking place during the afternoon an 8pm kick off has been arranged with Premier Sports showing the match live.

After the Hampden debacle even the most loyal bears are losing the habit of going to matches, against Lyon on Thursday night the official attendance was given at 41,981 around 8,000 short on capacity costing the club around £400,000 less VAT.

As recently as April fans were anticipating winning the treble under A Proper Football Manager with advanced plans to trash George Square after clinching the title in the post split fixture at Celtic Park.

Since Phil Clement went on a heart-[umping lap of honour following a moral victory over Celtic it has been all downhill for the 2012 Tribute Act and their deluded supporters.

Walking Away

Next weekend will be the first anniversary of the appointment of Clement, it is fair to say that his Revolution! has stalled over the last six months.

Failure to beat Celtic in five attempts alongside the most basic style of football centring around Cyriel Dessers has left fans cold with apathy setting in at all levels.

Season Ticket holders can offer to exchange their tickets which impacts matchday sales, a downturn in attendances knocks on to every income stream from New Edmiston House to pie sales.

It seems that Clement’s next significant set back will be his last, that could come on October 24 against Steaua Bucharest or a week later when the serial losers visit Aberdeen.

Joe McHugh has been Video Celts since 2010, every day covering events in and around Scotland's most successful club.
When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.
Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement, cheers big man.
There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same more than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying every success for Scotland's Most Successful Club.
