    My flight was cancelled yesterday so jumped on a supporters bus over. Bus disembarked the boat and literally turned round and went straight back onto it. It was a risk we all took and unfortunately didn’t pay off. All well and good saying it should’ve been called last night but how can you fully assess damage to a stadium if it’s pitch black and the storm is still there. It’s not the end of the world, we’ll be back again.

    That's the way I am looking at it too. Could well be a blessing in disguise.Everything happens for a reason I feel.
    Gives the lads a well deserved break before Villa, more signings in hopefully, and we will be on equal terms with an in form Dundee team, relatively quickly on Feb 5th.

    Apart from missing the game not really arsed with it being called off, we could really be doing with a rest before Villa TBH.

    There’s internal damage as well as the external banners. Pics floating about WhatsApp.

    The players getting a rest is the best thing that could have happened. Feel sorry for anybody that’s travelled but this is the result of freak weather conditions and don’t think there’s any blame to be dished out.

    Highest recorded gusts recorded yesterday at 115. Was insane. I downplayed it night before.....but * me. Went out to the shops and looked like a riot had occurred.

    Probably not safe to assess the full damage until this morning, but could have postponed it last night to be on the safe side.

    Hope no one is out of pocket because of it.

    At least we should have Jota and KT deals completed in time for that match if not sooner

    Probably a blessing in disguise.

    Although weird ours is the only one cancelled. Suppose we'd also have the most supporters travelling from around the country too that'll come into decision making.

    Yeah this is true and Dundee will have a game next weekend too so will only have had a days extra rest not a full week.

    You would also imagine the squad being used between Motherwell, Dundee and Raith games. If Jota and Tierney are done plus Maeda is suspended for Wednesday that would be three top quality players that could play on Sunday and be fresh. McCowan and Bernardo are very decent midfield options too that can rotate in and fingers crossed we may have a new striker, although it might be Dundee before we see them.

    Didn’t fancy it today so we postponed it. We play when we want.

    Not in Scotland so wouldn't know.

    Seems strange that only Celtic Park was affected though. How many other games were called off in Scotland today?
