Greeeeeeeeat

So, if Sunday’s result was not bad enough for Celtic, apparently a couple of injuries have decided to make themselves apparent either immediately before the match Sunday or as a result of the game. Of course, Marc-Antoine Fortune remains side lined with a knee injury, with no time-table set for his return as of now. Barry Robson was also not fit enough to take place in a match that he has done well in before. In the lead up to the match, new left back Danny Fox was unable to perform on Sunday after injuring his hamstring. Later it was learned that Fox had a tear in his hamstring, meaning a possible long term return of Lee Naylor. Fox’s fullback partner, Andreas Hinkel was also not fit on Sunday and Mark Wilson had to replace him. Shaun Maloney picked up an injury to his Achilles during the match to keep him from traveling to Japan with the Scottish National Team. Stephen McManus might also be ruled out of the trip for the Tartan Army to the Far East after picking up stitches after Rangers elbows met his head, yet went un-noticed by Craig Thomson. And of course, Scott Brown continues to struggle with his ankle, making Celtic supporters wonder if his ankle is causing the bad passing or if he has sprained his brain.

Speaking of Craig Thomson, the referee from Sunday’s loss has admitted that he missed the first penalty claim for Celtic and Shaun Maloney in the first half where David Weir’s tackle attempt got none of the ball and all of Maloney’s leg. Speaking through Head of Referees, Hugh Dallas (prick), Thomson was very sorry for his error and promised to do better in the future. As the title says, “Greeeeeeeeeeat.”
