Season 2006-2007

"I cannot believe it!"

ICT FC 1-2 Celtic 25th February 2007

A historic third defeat of Celtic by Caley Jags, in the Scottish Cup, was thwarted by two late goals. Celtic put pressure on from the start, however it was Caley Jags' Graham Bayne who opened the scoring on 18 minutes. Ian Black started the build up picking out Barry Wilson who went on to cross to Bayne who fired in from six yards. Caley Jags managed to keep their lead until the 89th minute when Steven Pressley headed in to level the game. Caley Jags were then denied a replay at Parkhead when Kenny Miller fired home from 20 yards.

After the match a very disappointed Charlie Christie said, "I cannot believe it. It a real sore one to take and the players are near to tears in the dressing-room. They put so much into the game and deserved so much more... You can't legislate for one great leap, one great header and a tremendous finish by Kenny Miller to win it."

Gordon Strachan confessed, "I had to make changes near the end, some of them desperate... desperate times call for desperate measures. With five minutes to go, and after the equalizer, I was happy to settle for the draw and a replay.... but the players said "no" and I'm just glad they are on my side."

"We matched the league champions .... "

ICT FC 1-2 Celtic 28th January 2007

In another fine display Caley Jags matched the league leaders for 90 minutes. Then, not for the first time this season an extra time goal robbed them of a share of the points. Celtic opened the scoring on 37 mins when Derek Riordan tapped in a rebound from the crossbar. Then on 57 mins Graham Bayne headed in a Grant Munro cross. Celtic won the game in the final seconds of extra time when Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink took advantage of a goalmouth skirmish and blasted the ball past Michael Fraser.

Charlie Christie reflecting on the game said "There are a huge amount of positives to take. We matched the league champions face to face, toe to toe... But Celtic are champions and, to be fair, can go back to front, they have got that aerial threat." Celtic manager Gordon Strachan said "We had to handle an exuberant, frantic Inverness side and we handled it... If we're lucky, we're lucky. But our goalie didn't have too many saves to make."

Celtic's third and final goal came on 85 mins when Jiri Jarosik headed home a Shaun Maloney corner.

Caley Jags manager Charlie Christie said: "I thought 3-0 was hash but we were up against the best team in the country. However, I was pleased with the chances we created and it was going well until Celtic took the lead just before the break. "Celtic manager Gordon Strachan was delighted with his team's performance, "A lot of things pleased me. Zurawski was excellent and Nakamura was brilliant. Inverness never made it easy but I can now think about Manchester United "
