ANDERLECHT haven’t rocked into town with the bravado or swagger that you might have thought they would after hearing a club legend calling Celtic “Peasants”.

Instead, the Belgian side have come into Glasgow with a nonchalant attitude praising Celtic to the high heavens while putting their chances down.

Of course, they have a big task if they’re to take Celtic’s current third place position but the talk from their manager and players like they’re just turning up just to enjoy the occasion is complete and utter nonsense.

They know what they’re doing.

Anderlecht are underselling themselves in a very obvious way in the hope Celtic will buy into their narrative. The mindset being ‘If Anderlecht don’t even take themselves seriously, why should Celtic’.

This is a team who were thrashed at home by Celtic and they want revenge. Paul van Himst told us they felt embarrassed to fall to defeat at home by Celtic and I genuinely believe that’s what most of the squad thinks.

With a new manager and a clear task of winning the match and winning it well, they will undoubtedly come out off the traps flying. They can compliment Celtic and underplay their role in tonight’s proceedings but Brendan Rodgers was spot on when he said this game should be a must win for Celtic!

Of course, a draw would do but the manager wants the win!

      • Hugh,I’m not trying to be condescending here bud,believe me,but TocTic isn’t calling any one clowns.As you rightly say we will let their fellow clowns/cheats across our own fair city do the childish scum name calling.But one thing is third place and a Europa League qualification place,despite their managers claims of having no chance of winning by 3 clear goals tonight.Also one thing is certain Brendan will have our players fully focused and to start stating cliches “GET THE JOB DONE”I expect the task to be achieved by half time with the team “CRUISING IT” by half time.
        So “LETS MAKE SOME NOISE FOR THE NOISE”
        H.H. Y.N.W.A.

  1. YOU really were a clown Gordon , cruising by half time? You were mad to predict that, we were totally shite and you were guilty of counting the chickens mate.
