Today is Glasgow Derby day folks, the biggest rivalry in the country, as the country’s top two teams go to battle in a bitter clash.

It’s always a day to relish and even more so when we have the opportunity to all but clinch yet another league title in front of our own supporters at a packed Paradise.

Some say it dilutes the occasion when there is nothing much to play for due to Celtic commanding such a huge and comfortable lead at the top of the table, but that is total nonsense. When the whistle blows to signal kick off, the attitude and commitment from both sets of players will be proof of what’s at stake.

It’s a game that everyone wants to win, to have the honour and bragging rights, to celebrate their team coming out triumphant in a bitter rivalry. It doesn’t matter who is where in the table or if nothing is on the line in terms of honours, it’s of vital importance that your side triumphs on the day.

We don’t do meaningless games in Glasgow. Some might say they aren’t interested, but don’t let them fool you, they want to win this one as badly as any other game. Do you think over two thousand visiting supporters would travel the short distance if they believed otherwise? it’s a game of great significance, don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

They all count and every single victory over a Rangers deserves to be savoured and treasured.

That is why today means absolutely everything to the Celtic supporters at the game and watching on television screens around the world.

Let’s do it Bhoys!

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
