I didn't go on Saturday so spent the day packing up boxes to move out of Reading and watching Sky Text for the latest score. I was stunned into silence by what i saw. A headline saying "QPR Too Strong for Celtic".

What the hell I thought as i went to the story to see we won 7-3. We went 3-1 down at half time after Gallen gave us the lead but then Holloway made 9 changes and we proved to be too strong for Celtic.

I was delighted and quickly phoned my Dad to let him know the news. It just so happened that he was reading the same story as I phoned and was in total shock as well. We were both excited and now really looking forward to the new season.

I quickly put on BBC ceefax for a match report and read a slightly different one. According to BBC we lost 7-3 after Celtic made changes at half time and proved to strong for us. Bugger!. So what was the score, I'll have to admit the Celtic win seemed more likely so we put Sky back on and the report was the same but changed the words QPR and Celtic around to make us lose the game.

I am sure someone was playing a terrible trick on me and i went for sheer delight to being gutted within a few minutes. I checked the newspaper yesterday just in case they both had it wrong and it was in fact a 0-0 draw but it seemed we got stuffed.

So if anyone is feeling down after the game just imagine how I feel having danced around the kitchen in delight that we had stuffed Celtic only to see that Sky had made a cock up and we let in 7 goals at home.

Celtic put seven past Rangers

Celtic proved to be too much for QPR today with a 7-3 friendly win, with Kevin Gallen, Olly Burgess and Mamady Sidibe on target for Rangers.

Following their midweek success at Portsmouth, Martin O'Neill's men again showed they are well into their stride and romped home to victory over Rangers at Loftus Road. Ian Holloway's side did take the lead on nine minutes when Gallen profited from an Andy Thomson backheel.

But Celtic went in 3-1 up at the break as Colin Healy, Chris Sutton and John Hartson all found the net past new signing Nick Culkin in the QPR goal. Holloway made nine changes to his Rangers side at the break and two of the substitutes combined to produce a goal minutes into the second half. Karl Connolly stood up a cross at the back post for Burgess to head home.

However, Celtic responded with a Shaun Maloney free-kick which went in off the crossbar before trialist Sidibe pulled another goal back for the home side to make it 4-3 to the visitors.

The Glasgow club showed their superior fitness ahead of the start of the SPL season in three weeks time as they finished strongly with three more goals.

Fernandez took advantage of a mistake by Danny Murphy at the back to score low past sub Fraser Digby, before then laying on a goal for Mo Sylla. Sylla returned the favour to let Fernandez get his second and Celtic's seventh of what proved to be an afternoon of high quality in front of a west London crowd of 15,556.
