Has everyone been able to calm their nerves after yesterday?
A terrific cup tie but for the wrong reasons, the simple fact is the officials ruined a potentially great cup tie, there were so many decisions that baffle me that I can't even be bothered talking about them again.
Instead let's look forward to a cup final which will be played on a (should be) excellent surface with hopefully 22 players kept on for 90 minutes
I expect Paton to have his red rescinded, VVD and Butcher to receive respective yellows and Cifti to receive a ban for his kick at Browns head. I don't expect Brown to be pulled up as you can't be charged with a tackle after the referee has deemed it not a foul. I also expect Connolly to be cited for diving so it's going to be a game of guess who as to the lineups
I thought Forrest was a bit better than Wednesday but he was still average, however on a good pitch he may be useful.
I hope Bitton is ok for Sunday, he twisted his ankle so it might be a struggle but we will no doubt get a clearer picture of the squads available later in the week.
Well lads, 1 down, 3 more to go in the next 12 days

I'd just like to point out that Celtic aren't the only team to get a player done for diving.
Brian Graham has been done for a dreadful dive for St Johnstone.
Once more Celtic fans are ignoring the facts.
