Week 15 of the SPL
By: j | November 24th, 2008Week 15 of the Scottish Premier League concluded with Celtic proudly holding the top spot with a 3-1 victory over St Mirren 3-1. Goals by international stars Georgios Samaras (Greece) and Shunsuke Nakamura (Japan) led the charge with Irish teenager Cillian Sheridan finishing off for good measure (full report here).
To those who think you can keep Craig Brewster’s side down, guess again as Caley Thistle fought hard for a 2-1 victory over Kilmarnock, despite last minute heroics by Killie thrown aside with Mehdi Taouil’s dreadful penalty miss as time wound down. (full report here)
Aberdeen played a brilliant match but succumbed to the Rangers 2-0 (Aberdeen report here)(Rangers report here)
Elsewhere Hamilton was heartbroken with 1-1 against Dundee Utd as a unfortunate own goal deep into added time. The match will be remembered for highly questionable referring as it the visiting Accies were a man down for the final ten minutes with Simon Mensing sent off for an altercation away from the ball. Finally Hearts defeated Falkirk 2-1 and Hibernian roared back to the win column with a 4-1 drubbing of Motherwell on the strength of Northern Ireland’s Dean Shiels winning strike five minutes past the re-start .
And don’t forget next Saturday when the SPL returns with the following great matches:
Inverness CT @ Celtic
Motherwell @ Aberdeen
Rangers @ Hearts
Dundee Utd @ St Mirren
Kilmarnock @ Hamilton
Hibernian @ Falkirk

Do you think Celtic and Rangers will be able to compete in Europe b/c they both looked sad this term and it would be great to have those 2 in the mix–at least to be good enough to beat Aalborg!!
