To celebrate 150 years of the fa apparently and also because uefa were impressed by 2011.
Kelvin Wilson lucky to still be on the park after a snide elbow on a Dundee player.
Hopefully the compliance officer will be looking at the incident before Saturday.
Should be 1-1.
Forster saves a header from Colin Nish from point blank range.
2-0 Celtic, Hooper.
That's about the first thing they've done in the second half.
Its really winding me up how the presenter & commentator at every possible opportunity keep calling them 'the hoops'
Maybe it's just me!!
What a pash game :bitchy:
Wilson if not banned on Saturday is the weak link he's gash!
Feel a bit sorry for Dundee as they were pitched in at the last minute to the SPL and they are mince but it shows you how bad we are and they pumped us 3-0
I actually think they spread the ball out well and attempt to attack teams and usually it doesn't pay off, but I didn't think they were bad at Easter Road when we beat them 3-0, I felt pretty bad for Douglas who is still playing well in goals this season. Also Dundee beat us 3-1, not 3-0.
Any link mate. :aok:
It will be just as bad at ER on Saturday, a couple of extra hours of drinking for them and the party songs will be loud and clear just like they were last night, and there fireworks and flares will be on show, seems to be there new thing to do at away grounds they go to this season and think they are untouchable, along with the bile as well. :agree:
They are certainly untouchable in the sense that you wouldn't want to touch them.
Have nothing but contempt for that club. They've got the party tune set just like the other flith from Glesgae but hide behind their "more than a club" dross.
I don't know what the worst aspect about Septic is, their bile or the unmeasurable love they have for themselves.
Didn't Murdo McLeod suggest during the half-time chit-chat, that Baird had ran into Wilson's elbow??

Greatest fans in the world!
Dundee FC operations manager Jim Thomson said that he was surprised at some of the behaviour among the Celtic fans. He said: “We were confiscating drink from supporters in the concourse leading to the turnstiles. They were clearly drunk coming in and we had a decision to make on whether we let them in and we took the decision that we had to let them in because we would have had other consequences if we didn’t."
:confused: I cannot believe that sentence.
How difficult can it be to refuse them entry to the stadium and then to have them arrested for breach of the peace or for being drunk and disorderly.
Dundee can surely only blame themselves if they have allowed people into the stadium when they were fully aware that they were drunk and causing disturbances before they even entered the ground.
Aren't the police required to intervene when such a need arises? If they had any doubts about the legislation/requirement for forceful removal, they should have made contact with the match commander (or whatever title he goes under these days).
Having said that, nothing the Tims do anymore shocks me. **** is as **** does and they're a heinous institution from top to bottom. Their record speaks for itself...much like their city neighbours (although this shouldn't be required as a qualification everytime something happens featuring the other).
And yet STILL they get perplexed when people speak out against them or refuse to back them in Europe.
That club is scuum from top to bottom and it's high time everyone got tough on them and started to stand up to them.
Dundee official has labelled trouble within Dens Park on Boxing Day as 'serious disorder' and that scenes were 'a throwback to the 70s', as Celtic fans fought among themselves inside the stadium's concourse.
Celtic secured all three points against Dundee thanks to goals for Georgios Samaras and Gary Hooper, but the shock for Dundee came from the visiting support and their booze fuelled behaviour.
Dundee FC operations manager Jim Thomson, said: "There was widespread drunkenness, and I mean widespread, within the Celtic support. We were confiscating drink from supporters in the concourse leading to the turnstiles. They were clearly drunk coming in and we had a decision to make on whether we let them in and we took the decision that we had to let them in because we would have had other consequences if we didn't.
"Once in, they were abusing our turnstile staff, our canteen staff and even fighting among themselves, and I mean serious disorder within the concourse. All in all it was just not a nice experience. In the 20 years I've been organising games here at Dens Park I have never seen anything like that - it was a throwback to the 70s that we are all probably ashamed of.
"I would say that the scheduling of the fixture didn't help. Nonetheless, I don't want to make light of it, but I can have a skinful but I'm not going to go and behave like people did last night. It's just not acceptable."
According to further reports drunken Celtic fans urinated where they stood and trashed the away end toilets.
Thomson claimed that he stopped counting those fans ejected when he got to 40 in number, but one erroneous report claimed over 70 Celtic fans were involved in running battles, a Scotzine source put the number at around 30 Celtic fans, with the trouble starting before kick off as fans were being penned in towards the turnstiles outside the away end - far from the running battles that the newspaper paints a scene of.
One Celtic supporter reportedly blocked the way of a number of younger fans, creating a flash point in which the fan refusing to move was pushed back and through the turnstiles, when the three fans were through they were targeted by the fan and members of a Celtic supporters club, which escalated in
Fuelled by booze other so-called fans got involved as Tayside Police along with Stewards, according to our sources 'lost control of the situation and let the fans fight among themselves'.
A Tayside Police spokesperson confirmed that five supporters had been arrested, four Celtic supporters and one Dundee fan, she said: "There was a level of disturbance at the match, primarily within the Celtic section of the stadium. Five people are to be reported to the procurator fiscal for alleged football-related offences. Officers responded to the incidents quickly and took appropriate action."
Meanwhile, Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has apologised to Dundee, he said: "We are very proud that Celtic supporters enjoy such a great reputation and it is therefore extremely disappointing that the behaviour of a small minority has tarnished the good name of the club and our fans in this way.
"Clearly, we apologise to Dundee Football Club - we will work with them and look into any incident which is raised and if we can identify any individuals involved, we will obviously take the strongest possible action.
"We have received a number of complaints today from our own supporters about the conduct of this minority - we cannot allow our supporters' enjoyment of our matches to be affected in this way and we will not sit and allow the club's reputation to be damaged. Our supporters over many years have earned such a fantastic reputation for positively supporting the club, we will not allow this to be taken from them. It is time for all our true supporters who care about Celtic to unite with the club and find a solution to this problem."
The police, authorities and even the broadcaster showing the game on Boxing Day night have been criticised by some quarters for allowing the game to go ahead at 7.30pm, which gave fans plenty of time to get boozed up.
Thomson added: “The game should never have kicked off at 7.30pm on Boxing Day. It was a disaster waiting to happen. It gave the supporters too much time to get drunk. It’s just a joke to play a game at that time on that day. Everyone knows this time was chosen to fit in with the TV schedule but the atmosphere at the game was just frightening.
“That was meant to be the Celtic v Rangers game as we got Rangers’ place in the SPL. If that had been an Old Firm match do you think it would have been played at that time? I very much doubt it.”
Celtic could face sanctions from the Scottish Premier League over the trouble, if it is noted in the referee's report.
As an side has the compliance officer not had a look at the Wilson elbow, or is that being swept under the carpet as well?
