If anyone thought the Celtic Fan Collective were barking up the wrong tree or that a semi final win over a Rangers side with their own problems had sorted things or that it was all the previous manager as a certain minority shareholder would you have you believe, tonight clearly shows otherwise.

Am I remembering correctly an episode when the Saturday morning kids film broke down so they showed that evening's adult film, Percy*, a sex comedy about a guy who gets a cock transplant?

Made the Sunday Mail.l
