Hampden Video: Walking Away is the Ranjurs way

Hampden was almost half empty for the closing stages of Celtic’s League Cup semi-final success.

When Callum Osmond scored in the 109th minute it was just too much for the loyal bears to cope with.

HATRED

Up they got, turning their backs on the pitch and off they went. Back to their busses, cars, trains and message boards to spew out their hatred. A hatred that went uncommented on by Rory Hamilton on commentary duty with Premier Sports.

For 30 minutes in the second half of the match they were in their pomp. Spewing out all sorts of hatred in the safe knowledge that no action would be taken against them.

When Nick Walsh, Andrew Dallas and Steven McLean presented them with an 80th minute penalty the bears dared to dream.

Captain Disappointed scored from his favourite distance, again the right back is top scorer for the Ibrox Tribute Act.

In the third minute of extra-time the bears looked on in horror as Jack Butland dived out the way of a Callum McGregor shot.

The ball flew into the centre of the net, right in front of thousands of Ibrox fans.

HAMPDEN HORRORS

Many of them had been in the same part of Hampden 11 months ago. Watching Kasper Schmeichel save from Ridvan Yilmaz before Daizen Maeda popped the winner past Super Jack.

Before yesterday’s match Callum Osmand had 15 minutes of senior football on his CV. Signed from Fulham reserves in the summer.

The bears know all about him now. He was a 71st minute substitute for Johnny Kenny, in the 109th minute he scored from close range against Super Jack. The teenager left Hampden as a Celtic hero. The bears just left Hampden.

It is going to be a long dark winter at Ibrox. Between December 3 to January 3 they travel to Dundee United, Kilmarnock, Ferencvaros, Hearts and Celtic.

Four games in Danny Rohl has lost to Celtic. For all the hatred Russell Martin was unbeaten against the hoops, he never even lost a goal to Scotland’s most successful goal.

Joe McHugh has edited 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.

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 the ongoing successes of Celtic.

      That is who they are. That is all they’ve got.

      Pathetic doesn’t begin to describe these creatures.

      They live in a hell of their own making.

      Thank you God for making me a TIM.

    Whenever the bigotry from them gets the choir treatment in full decibel fashion , those commentators on the TV and radio try very hard to speak loudly at the exact time of the illegal songs . Almost as if to try to take the attention off from it all , knowing some folks would be appalled by it all ? I mean , no commentator ever condemns the poisonous ditties ..do they . Not even the Celtic minded ones .

    Who is a Celtic minded commentator Valentines !
