Bhoys Fight Back as Rangers Slip

Celtic won again last Saturday, beating Motherwell 2-1 off late goals from Scott McDonald and Georgios Samaras, while Rangers drew with Hibernian 0-0 on Sunday, giving Celtic a 7 point lead with 3 games in hand over Rangers.

Though coming into their match against Motherwell on Saturday eight points up in first place, Celtic needed another win in order to hold off any remaining surges from Rangers.

Hoops fans held their breath as Bobo Balde took the Central Defender role for injured captain Stephen McManus in a must win game against a good Motherwell squad.

Hail! Hail! Celts Win Again!

Glasgow Celtic has defeated Rangers 3-2 for the second Old Firm win in 10 days. The Hoops are now ahead of Rangers by five points in the SPL race.

Today's win, though not as convincing as last weeks 2-1 victory, ended in a 3-2 win in front of a frenzied Parkhead crowd that saw Scott McDonald score twice and Barry Robson net from the spot in a contreversial fashion.

Celtic immediately left their mark when Scott McDonald helped the Bhoys to a 1-0 lead, though he seemed to be offside before he recieved a header from Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink to put the ball in the back of the net.

Gordon On the Line?

We've all witnessed Celtic's struggles for a trophy this season. We've seen them fight hard and beat the likes of AC Milan and Shakhtar Dontesk in the dying seconds of the match, only to be put down by Barcelona in the Final 16.

We saw Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink equalize for the Celts in the 90th minute to force a replay in the Scottish Cup quarterfinals, only to lose 1-0 to Aberdeen in the replay at Celtic Park.

We saw Celtic fight courageously against Rangers, with the season on the line, and see Big Jan score in injury time to put Celtic up 2-1 over the Gers.

Amazing game from the Bhoys today. Big Jan saves the day again. We're now 1 point behind the Huns put weve played two games more. I think if we beat them again next week we'll have a good chance at winning the SPL. If we beat Aberdeen this weekend we'll be back on top!
How am I just now finding this group?
