The cup is half full but it will be on someone else's shelf this year

Further to this report doing the rounds on the internet in the last few days, I think it's important to put a positive spin on today's mishap.

Think of it as less a 1-0 defeat in the cup, and more of a 7-1 mauling over two legs.

There you go. Just added an extra eight years to my life.

Another eight years of Celtic not winning away in the Champions League; another eight years of not finding an mp3 of Flesh's 'Sentimental Sunday' on the internet; and another eight years of telling myself 'I'll start reading Don Quixote' tomorrow'.
