Sandman’s Definitive Ratings – Celtic v It Lives

FATHER MARTIN AND SAMWISE GANGEE – 7/10 – The knack; it’s a special thing, intangible, perplexing,
but some just have it. Others, like ragin’ Zombies, call it luck, but it was MON that charmed The Ox into the
hoops and threw him on to nail a spectacular winner as the season slipped away. There wasn’t much else for the boss to conjure after seeing his men blow chance after chance to ease the stress, but that last flick of the wand turned the night, and possibly the title, our way.

‘A very, very, very, VERY fine player’
