CELTIC1CALEY3

Craig, wee man, I forgot to kiss you goodbye when you left for that better job!

Celtic must love the wet trips to the Highlands.

Psychological warfare. Celtic pack their bags after a warm night in the Kingsmills and head back to Glasgow. They train Monday and presumably head back Tuesday morning. Hopefully they travel by coach on both journies rather than fly.

Rory is quite a sensitive guy. Brewster at times treated him like dirt. Now that his confidence is up and given an increase in his maturity a supportive management team could get great results from him. I have always said Rory has talent. Barrowman is narcisstic and lazy. Rory is neither.He just needs a bit more guidance and development.

Iain Brines and assistants got 10/10 today. No bookings. A credit to fair play on both sides.

Brewster's sunbed was moved out to create space for Jimmy's super duper sunbed. The Golden Jimmy sunbed model design is based on Rossco's shin pads.

'KENYAN SOCCER STAR: There may not be any Kenyans playing in the popular English Premier League, but Kin Joho is happy that a young man of Kenyan ancestry is strutting his stuff in the Scottish Premier League and getting rave media reviews. It?s 21-year-old Eric Odhiambo, who was born in England, and plays for Inverness Caley Thistle, and in whom some English clubs have shown a keen interest. ?Names such as Odhiambo and Onyango are exclusively Kenyan. We are proud to have Kenyans players in the United Kingdom,? says Joho. ' http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/Cutting+Edge/The+Cutting+Edge+/-/440802/1110932/-/wrmkx3z/-/

and for the doubters, Chris Innes played a key part in stopping St Johnstone getting back into the match after he replaced Procs. He has taken time to settle but that performance should please him and I hope quite a few supporters.

I thought the players worked bloody hard and stopped St Johnstone sneaking 3 points. That was not an easy win.

But can he work with Adams?

Should be quacker in the tackle.

We're on our Way - The Torridon song specially written for the journey into the Second Division Long time ago it seems, November, since this journey began We beat berwick rangers at home, we beat them 5-1 Then next to come was Inverurie, we beat them 4-0 it was their first competitive game and we left them feeling ill we are the staggies and were on our way to the final we are the staggies and were on our way to the final Stirling Albion probably wish that they had never came we gubbed them 9-0 and promptly sent them hame then down to edinburgh and back we played hibernien we outplayed them over the two games, and booked our place at hampden we are the staggies and were on our way to the final we are the staggies and were on our way to the final We played Celtic in the semi final 2-0 it was the score but anyone watching, theyd have to admit, we should have probably scored four We lost the final and lost our way, We are the Staggies who sent Adams away We gubbed Deveronvale, Barrowman scored two! McStay joined us for the journey to Div Two We're on our way farewell to Caley Welcome Robbo our mate in East Fifee We're on our way back the way, back the way, We are the Mighty Staggies going back the way Can someone save us the mighty drop? Seven goals at home so far, Clippity Clop Over the Bridge and Far Away,Back the Way There's a hush at Vicky Park Today Every Time we score a goal the Jailend roars Its silent most weeks until Barrowman scores We gubbed the Binos 9-0 last year Yesterday we gubbed the Binos nil nil We are the mighty Staggies slipping away Back the way, while Mighty Caley slip away We are the Mighty Staggies going back the way Hello Robbo our mate in Fifee

Saving County may be a problem. Well Willie McStay has answered his own question - no he did not. DidnaStay went into Saturday's game clearly briefed by Barrowman and said: 'We can hand out a beating.' Well done Jocky Scott. In a classic wind up the Inverness Courier reported: ''County, if they required a boost ahead of tomorrows game they need only recall their encounter last season against Stirling. County dispatched the Binos 9-0 on their run to the Scottish Cup final last year.'' Charlie Christie, that was a great report!

Charlie Bannerman normally does the fun run so he's going to have to leg it too. Roy McBain did the half last year so may have to speed up especially if selected to play. Rossco and Grant have been the official starters before although Rossco thought it funny to use the tape to trip people up! But Heyho, it could have been a 1.30 kick off and that would have shafted the lot!

Means a fast Inverness Half Marathon and quick lift to the Stadium. Might just make it.

As I posted on Saturday it did not look very pleasant. It will take some time to strengthen it when it repairs. He was very inspirational against Elgin and Morton as he bettled back from time out. Here's hoping he makes it back in the team again this season to try and win a contract for next year.

Given the various suggestions there is a lot to be said for a medley including Robert Burns My Heart's in the Highlands - chorus of

Confuscious he say 'Adam russian shot like young boys. Hebee think too much pre-contact.' Butcher and fans say 'Now sign on the dotted line...training will be given.'

From a financial point of view, live TV at home would be nice, followed by a replay. If by some freak we were to win then the team that knocks out the favourites normally succumbs to a humbling defeat in the next round.

He's the first Hibee to get anything at the Caledonian Stadium for a while so must be a lucky Hibee. Early days yet.

Danny's injury was to his wrist which did not look too pleasant. I think he may be out again unfortunately after an inspirational role in revitalising the team after the break.

Why blame Rooney? Procter's pass was too weighted, to easy, on a plate...

One of these days Blackie will be on the end of a dangerous tackle himself. Diouf has done some stupid things in his career possibly linked to a different culture but has every right as has any ICT player to fair treatment. In defence of Blackie, he is a terrific competitor for a wee man, but he needs to keep it fair. There was an element of clumsiness about last hights tackle but as TV can lie, we respect the judgement of the referee.

Grant might now find getting back in the team a problem if Hogg plays well.

If I were a Morton fan I would be quite optimistic. Morton have not got a good away record in the league but trounced Airdrie in the last round. Inverness are one of the most charitable sides in Scotland when entertaining sides. Beat Inverness, draw Brechin and hey presto off on a Ross County run to the final having just come back from 1-0 down against the relegation battlers. They have the chance to create an absolute crisis at the Caledonian Stadium and we dream of progress at our peril. We were very lucky against Elgin. Morton have some very experienced and talented players in their ranks. A lot may hinge on whether Adam is still at the club on Tuesday morning. Remind me if Grant and Rossco will be eligible to play?
