Oops!... I did it again!

Were you watching Fergie?Crap Britney song reference I know but Man U can't say they weren't warned. He pinged one in down there, and ten minutes to go at Paradise he did it again. Shunsuke Nakamura stand up and take a bow (no pun intended). You'll be the toast of Youtube tommorrow. Celtic qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League at their fourth attempt tonight with a gritty (and at times lucky) performance. So often the recipients of the smelly end of the lucky stick, tonight that mythical 12th man, the crowd, without any shadow of a doubt lifted the team over the line. Even a very suspect 89th minute penalty couldn't save the fabled Red Devils. Ok so it wasn't the barnstorming 'you score two, we'll score three' affair that Old Trafford game was. I can live with that. We're through. On a night when confusion reined supreme; the pretty bird off the 10 o'clock BBC news (incorrectly) confirmed that Celtic were the first Scottish team to go past the group stages, the voice of a football (Gerry Mcnee) on STV said we'd find out in a fortnight whether Celtic could though (pundits!) and even Wee Gordon Strachan admitted in the press conference that he was still asking if it was true 40 minutes after the end of the game. 'Isn't there a rule that says we can't go through?' he joked. For all their strutting, posturing and turning-up-to-work-in-a-Ferrari arrogance I have just one thing to say. Get it right up you!
