I hope that's sarcasm. 6 goals without reply? Did you expect Tuffey to score?! No, I thought Tuffey did do well in that game. Were you there PMF? Even if Esson had been playing we would have lost heavily. I do recall Tuffey pulling off some great saves in that game hence my statement above. I'd pick Esson over Tuffey for tonight as I think he commands the defence more vocally than Tuffey. The defence will need to be sharp tonight.

Esson. I thought JT actually did well in the previous cup game against the green mob this season but Esson it is for me.

Seems unreal this one isn't going to be picked up. A lot of real Celtic fans won't be able to make it up from the East End of Glasgow. I doubt St Johnstone v Brechin (no disrespect to either) will achieve big viewing figures.

TheKnowledge are you getting a train up from Glasgow or going via Edinburgh?

Apologies for starting this thread before we've played on Wednesday (weather permitting). Who all is going up / down / across to Dundee for the game on Saturday? I bought train tickets today to go up for it. Hopefully we'll get two games and two wins this week... I wonder if the ever so friendly steward with his tupperware box of keys will be in attendance this week.

Interesting point ICTChris, Surely the game would generate a lot of interest especially with the 'previous' we have with them.

Ross county bought a tractor and caravan type trailer thing for selling merchandise out of with their cup run cash last season. If we win the cup invest the cash in covers? Last thing we want is European matches being postponed next season.

Just left Aberdeen on the train back to Edinburgh due to the south line being closed. Gutted the game won't be shown on TV. Could the BBC pick it up?

How far down are the USH pipes? They must be pretty near the surface if the pitch can't be forked. Gutted about the game being off - I won't make it on Wednesday.

Don't get me started on the A9 and trams...

I hope it will be covered by Sky.

Dougal's Saturday night wind up thread. Getting a bit tired eh bud?

Tweets from @roadscot look like a good source of info for those travelling.

Forecast looks horrific. Heavy snow and 29mph winds forecast for Sunday. Don't fancy it at all. Going to have a think about wether or not to come up this afternoon.

For a 'squiggler' a season I don't think he's worth a wage.

Looks right to me Luke. When I think of Celtic, All I see are Neds. They just cant get enough, they just cant get enough burberry hats, scarfs and gloves oh they just cant seem to get enough of... bur bur bur bur burberry bur bur bur bur bur bur burberry.

Sadly I think he thrives on the goading. He's making out he's a victim in all of this (and some of the incidents have been awful) but i can't help but think this is what spurs him on. This is the last post I'm making in regard to him. (For tonight anyway, at least.)

How many hours until kick off?

Sadly the goading, 'conspiracies', violence, simulation, mudslinging and every other kind of nonsense is permeating the game to the roots in Scotland. Have a look at the lead story on the Edinburgh Evening News: http://bit.ly/hjDrPU The saddest part of this whole situation is that games involving the ugly sisters from now on will, I assume, have increased viewing figures with people tuning in just to watch the pantomime'esque' rubbish which accompany them. This in turn will place more pressure on the SPL to have more derby games and increase the likelyhood of the league moving to 10 teams, thereby hurting our club.

Van Persie or no Van Persie they were never going through. Agree that the decision to send him off was stupid though.

I seldom wear fitba tops but I did wear my top from the 99/00 season to the falkirk game where we ended up getting relegated. So it's probably not good luck to wear it to a game at the TCS again.

I see Mike Tumilty has been appointed for the game on Sunday.

I see the logic in your point Wanderer. Motherwell are so inconsistent - we should be aiming to replace them.

Would a win for Aberdeen be a better outcome for our top six ambitions?

It is named after him.
