Hair of the Dog - Match Day Morning
By: Cham | January 6th, 2007Scottish Cup Third Round
While the game is not being televised through any means that I can see (even through celticfc.net), the radio broadcast has been quite exciting.
At the half, Celtic leads Dumbarton 3 goals to nil.
- Maciej Zurawski scored his two goals in the first 10 minutes at 4 and 9.
- Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who is recently off his injury leave, scored right before the half at 43.
No cards, and nothing more to say about the first half, except Celtic control and poise to score three good goals.
More to report at the summation of the match. Hopefully Zurawski can find his hat trick and the team continues to play healthy and dominant.

Second Half update
Derek Riodan’s second half goal on 69 was enough for the Celtic offensive column. Hoops finished the game 4-nil. Riodan started the second half in place of Shunsuke Nakamura. Thomas Graveson did not start, but came in at 72 to give Neil Lennon a blow, and Kenny Miller relived Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who scored in the first half.
This match from the outset was never going to trouble Celtic, especially at home. In fact it was the best case scenerio for Gordan Strachan: players returning from injury were able to get in good minutes, even a good goal, and Steven Pressley played another full match in hoops to assist Artur Boruc with another well-earned cleansheet.
We are Celtic. This is the Celtic Offside Report.

It’s Dumbarton (who??), so 4-0 should be expected.
OTOH: It also would have been easy to just put things on cruise control and accept a 2-nil score line. Putting things together to score 4 goals AND keep enough presence of mind late in the game to make sure that Dumbarton doesn’t score shows that maybe, just maybe, the killer instinct I wrote about earlier is there.
We’ll see.
