Hibs make it three from three against Rangers

Rangers 0  Hibernian 2

Hibernian picked up their third win of the season over Rangers at Ibrox as goals from Scott Robertson and Lewis Stevenson were enough to ensure that Hibs leapfrogged Rangers into second place in the SFA Championship table - though still a massive 17 points behind table-toppers Hearts.

Glasgow diary 2014: Paradise found (again)

We took our last Subway trip of the day back to St. Enoch’s station and took a 66 bus from the city to Parkhead. Celtic’s stadium felt far more welcoming to us than Ibrox had. I’m not sure which factor contributed to this more: a psychological predisposition caused by years of preconditioning/fandom or the hundreds of Irish tricolours dotted around the stadium (with hundreds more draping the stands inside).

Glasgow diary 2014: Firhill - the stadium you won't see unless you're looking for it.

Following Jon’s instructions, we made our way back to the Ibrox subway station and headed for St. George’s Cross in Glasgow’s West End. A twenty minute slog along Maryhill Road awaited us. 

Glasgow diary 2014: Ibrox - football stadium or office block?

The most ironic thing about us visiting Ibrox is that the stadium, in its current guise, was modelled on Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion (not something I knew before writing this piece, I admit). 

Glasgow diary 2014: Introduction.

Last weekend, myself and Anto Gallagher continued our tradition of taking in one random game abroad a year by visiting Glasgow to see Celtic face Inverness in the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL). Our early flight meant a 4a.m. start, but this put us in Glasgow city centre at eight, giving us ample time to decide what we should do with our solitary full day in Scotland’s largest city.

On the importance of Neil Lennon staying at Celtic

Only 17 men have had the distinction of managing Glasgow Celtic in 125 years. Of those 17, only eight were in charge for three years or less - Liam Brady (1991-93), Lou Macari (93-94), Tommy Burns (94-97), Wim Jansen (97-98), John Barnes/Kenny Dalglish (99-2000) and Tony Mowbray (09-10). And presently, Neil Lennon is the eighth - this is only his third full season at the helm (but he's in charge three-and-a half years having taking over from Mowbray in March 2010 on a temporary basis initially).
