Saturday’s league fixture against (then) bottom side St Johnstone should have been a perfect opportunity for Celtic to right some of the wrongs from the previous week’s defeat at Kilmarnock but instead we stumbled to a dull and disappointing draw at a packed Celtic Park. The blank scoresheet meant we’d recorded back to back goalless …
Failing to beat St Johnstone at home at anytime is never acceptable for Celtic. And I say that with every respect for the Perth site and the levels they operate it. That they had lost 5 of their 6 games before Saturday’s encounter and had yet to register a Scottish Premiership goal made the result …

When trying to find positives from the defeat at Rugby Park – a tricky task in itself – one such blessing may just be the fact that such an abject performance occurred so early in the campaign. Giving up one of last season’s hard fought Treble Trophies in such meek fashion doesn’t sit easily with …
We’re only two games into the new campaign yet Matt O’Riley has already stood out as a player who seems to be in a particularly good place under the new regime. Two goals in two game would indicate that but there’s far more to the 22 year old O’Riley than what we see on the …

Had you offered any of us a 3-1 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie at any time in advance of Sunday’s lunchtime kick off then your proverbial hand will almost certainly have been bitten off! Going to such a venue and coming away with all three points at ANY stage in the season is always a …
Improvements Are In The Post But Winning Is The Current Priority Read More »
Despite an impressive record in the North East in recent times no-one expected Celtic to find it easy against Aberdeen today and that proved to be the case this afternoon. Barry Robson has his side well drilled and looks to have recruited well over the summer as he aims to kick on in his first …

When Brian Clough swept into Elland Road to take over as Manager of then First Division Champions Leeds in 1974 his first act was to order his players to forget the achievements of the past and to throw their medals into “the biggest f*@king dustbin” they could find. He had no interest in the successes …
Is Brendan Rodgers Taking A Leaf Out Of The Brian Clough Playbook? Read More »
After much speculation Celtic finally confirmed this morning that Carl Starfelt has left Celtic for pastures new in the Spanish Primera Division with RC Celta. Starfelt joined Celtic in July of 2021 as one of Ange Postecoglou’s first signings at the club. He would go on to represent The Hoops with 87 appearances and in …
Celtic and Brendan Rodgers picked up exactly where they left off at the weekend, by winning games of football and by sitting atop the Scottish Premiership table.
The last time Rodgers took charge of a competitive game for Celtic was almost four and a half years ago on the 24th of February 2019.
It’s been less than two months since Ange Postecoglou caught us all on the hop by swapping life in Glasgow for the bright lights of London just days after lifting the Scottish Cup on the final day of last season.
Completing a world record eight domestic treble as your final act isn’t a bad way to go but it was still a sting in the tail for many of us who were anticipating a continuation of life under Ange for at least the foreseeable future.
