SANDMAN’S DEFINITIVE RATINGS: CELTIC @ SUNSHINE ON METH…
“This ain’t fun. But you watch me, I’ll get it done.” – Jackie Robinson.

THE FRIENDLY GHOST – 7.5/10 – Plenty of invisible Lego bricks scooped up on Black Friday deals for him to build a wall with, and it remained solid until resistance crumbled with their penalty. Then the old man had to rely on his creaky bones. And did so magnificently with the Daniel Day Lewis ‘My Left Foot’ block to save the day, and the points. Big Joe was a surprise legend, Kasper is another proving the best keepers in a Leith Port siege are the experienced heids.

MELLOW YELLOW – 6/10 – Application is the kid’s forte, sometimes requiring tempered with a little bit of caution, lest he’s getting one from the MIB…Rode the turbulence of his half well, despite carrying the early yellow which ultimately had him sacrificed at the break before the MIBs could hit the vinegar strokes. Imagine their disappointment…

SCRATCHY – 6.5/10 – Definitely got the South American optimism gene. Very useful for attacking support and likes to play with the head up, and probably something up his nose; given his location, ideal…Always looking for the destructive forward pass, might even have killed the game himself when he crashed one against the post at the end of a move that would have been a goal of the season contender.
