Hail Hail!

Another day, another bucket list item accomplished. The big story of today is our trip to Park Head to see Celtic take on Livingston. Huge thanks to our cousin, Joe, for securing match tickets for us. The seats were great, and we had an excellent view of the match.

Earlier, we went to the local shopping mall to pick up some Celtic merch, and to meet Mum's old bestie, Beatrice. Most of us also bought warm Winter coats because we figured that the ones we brought with us would be inadequate for a night in a football stadium in Glasgow in Winter. 

We had lunch with Beatrice at a beautiful little pub called Chandlers. Later, our cousins (second, third, whatever), Pat and Niall, very generously drove us to Park Head. After the match they very generously drove us back again. We were all more rugged-up than we had been all holiday. Personally, I was wearing thermal long johns, jeans, chinos, a thermal long sleeve t-shirt, a shirt, two jumpers, two pairs of thick bamboo socks, hiking boots, my newly-acquired coat, gloves, a scarf, and two beanies. I am happy to report that I was not cold.

The match itself was very one-sided. One interested onlooker (me) estimated that Celtic had about 80% of the possession, and most of the play was within striking distance of Livingston's goal. Despite giving away a penalty in the second half, Celtic won the match 2 - 1. A good result for us Celtic fans, and a great night out was had by all.

Wish you were here.
