We're on top of the world...

Has there been a better time to be a football fan in Scotland over the past twenty years or so than now?
Tonight, Celtic completed a remarkable treble which has seen the national team beat France, Rangers humble Lyon and Celtic beat AC Milan.
There's now a belief in the country that we can compete with the best at both national and club level. If we can maintain that mentality then we may just end up at the Euros next year. I'm loving every minute of it and the games can't come quick enough. Bring on Barcelona, Benfica, Italia et al. The sooner the better.

And another thing...
I hope one drunken nutter doesn't get Celtic hammered by UEFA. What more can the Old Firm do to contain individuals hell-bent on causing trouble?
Rangers were fined for a similar incident last year, let's hope Celtc only get the same.
As for Dida, he should be banned for life. Feigning serious injury in light of recent deaths on football pitches is despicable. I wonder what guys like Gattuso think about him. Not a lot, presumably.

It has been an amazing time for Scottish football, that's for sure. If Aberdeen somehow get through tonight I think it would be unprecedented in recent times.

I was happy that Milan as a club distanced themselves from Dida's behaviour. They should throw the book at him (write your own jokes...)

I certainly think you have to go back to the 80s when Aberdeen and Dundee Utd got to European finals and Scotland got to two World Cups for such a level of performance by Scottish teams.

But it is remarkable that the champions of Germany, France and Europe have all been beaten by Scottish teams in the past few weeks.

And well done tonight to Aberdeen on getting through as well.

I must admit, I never imagined Aberdeen getting through. That's some result for them.

Ginkers, it was refreshing to hear Ancelloti saying he didn't want to appeal.

I was disappointed with Pirlo, though, whose play-acting detracts from what a wonderful player he is.
