Celtic 3, Hearts positively 0
By: Graham | February 18th, 2008Strange as it may seem, this 3-0 loss to Celtic was further evidence that some sort of corner has been turned. No clean sheet, and no goals scored, but the performance was certainly better than the scoreline suggests and this was no abject Celtic Park capitulation. Andrew Driver fluffed a couple of clear chances and Andrius Velicka continues to go through a spell of wearing his feet on the wrong leg. But Velicka’s blight is normal for a striker upon whom the pressure to score is heaviest and he will turn it around in a game or two. A lucky mis-kick or a ricochet off his head and he’ll be back in the groove.
So, nothing more than disappointment that we couldn’t keep the sequence of SPL wins going.
But, what is more telling is that, only two seasons on from the Burley Revolution, we’re back looking for the positives in a defeat at Celtic. The corner we’ve turned is still just in a side street of a small town, rather than onto the main drag of a major city. After a brief glimpse of potential success, we’re relearning the habit of being grateful for small mercies. Thanks, Vlad.
