When will we ever play the postponed game against Celtic ? Why couldnt the fixture have been played already ? Why not just switch the venues for the opening day of the season ? Who made the decision to postpone ? why hasnt this game been played yet ? Answers anyone ?

 

That would have been far too sensible, but tradition has it that the Champions always kick off with a home fixture and that had to be maintained, even if it was going to be immediately postponed due to Celtic Park being used for the Commonwealth Games. Only in Scotland !

The thing that pisses me off most about this long-term postponement is that we have lost out on playing them right at the start of the new season, when, for example, we still had a fit Higgy and they had Brown out injured and their team looked extremely shaky under a new manager. Mind you, if it's postponed long enough maybe we'll have Higgy and Welsh in our starting XI!

And they might look extremely shaky under another new manager :)

They still kicked off with an away fixture regardless, at St Johnstone.
