Truely outstanding going forward the Celtic were today, having 20, yes twenty shots on goal, 15 on target. We were unlucky to score only four times with the big Dutchman bagging his first hat-trick for the hoops.

Hopefully the real JVOH will follow suit and start bagging the goals for big Bhoys.

A very nice way to go top of the league

With Saint Mirren flying and dominating every division they've been in for four seasons, I have to ask - how on earth did they end up in Division 3 many moons ago? They appeared (relegated) in Division 3 with a team that would easily compete in D1, dominated the league that season (I remember I came second that season) and every season since have shot up the tables.
