Thankfully there is footage that will last forever of the day Celtic won a penalty shoot out at Ibrox in front of 42,000 angry bears.
Only the Ibrox security team will be able to explain why that didn’t happen. Why fans were able to shout abuse and spit at players and coaches.
If Nicholson turns up at Monday’s meeting with the Green Brigade the obvious first question is over whether he can decide to lift the suspension of 250 Season Ticket holders.
Then last thing Martin O’Neill and his players need is another dead atmosphere at Celtic Park when Motherwell come visiting.
He was pushed into a room with the Celtic Fans Collective— who have had their fill of these disingenuous windbags who hold office atop the Celtic Way, surrounded by mahogany and sycophancy — entirely unbriefed on the matters to be discussed.
That’s not why I didn’t invest, it just wasn’t for me. One of the best nights I had actually. Eddie and I went up to Celtic Park last season during the European Cup.
So over the course of a month, Walsh, Graham, McLean, Beaton, Aitken, Nicolson, McDermid and Irvine have denied Celtic fairly clear cut penalties in tight SPFL matches. Small margins and all that.
Mentality will always be questioned until you start winning things. You know, there’s no point in being the nearly men.
And with that Ibrox was treated to an audition of the bedlam Celtic fans will generate at the cup tie on Sunday when we get to liberate the entire Broomloan.
The scheduling of the match was known months in advance but it seems that two key figures at Celtic had more important things to do than attend the Glasgow Derby.
