Strike It Rich – Celtic and the Talisman
I posted the above image in August but the sad thing is I can post it again today and it is still very pertinent. Celtic failed to replace Gary Hooper’s goals this summer and it has shown in many games. Not just Wednesday night, but even on Saturday past when it took a Charlie Mulgrew […]
Scott Brown Appeal REJECTED

Peter Lawwell – We Want Lenny To Stay Forever
Before I get into this story, I would like to point out I have purposely chosen my headline to highlight how I can get such a contrasting headline from the ones seen in the Scottish MSM this morning from EXACTLY the same quotes. Peter Lawwell was asked the question if he could hold on to […]
The Prince of Goalkeepers
The name John Thomson is to this very day one which conjures all sorts of feelings for Celtic supporters. Regardless of their age, every fanatical fan will be sure to have heard of his name Born in Kirkcaldy on 28th January 1909, John joined Celtic at the age of 17 from Wellesley Juniors, a […]
Lennon – Keeping Forster Will Be Impossible
NEIL LENNON says it’s a frustrating thing when you are trying to build a team and help the club progress but he believes Fraser Forster is TOO GOOD to be able to hang on to. The Northern Irishman spoke candidly about his goalkeeper – “It’s going to be impossible to keep our goalkeeper Fraser Forster, […]
Ajax Hooligans Shame Their Club
AJAX fans gave us a throw back to yesteryear last night when they had to be escorted by police to Celtic Park after trying to cause chaos on the streets of Glasgow. Seen many clubs fans come and go over the years, some more rowdy than others but above all the majority are respectful. However […]
How Far Have We Come From 2001?
It doesn’t feel like 12 years ago since Celtic famously hammered Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena. When you look at the team we had back then it’s hard not to look back in envy, even without the likes of Petrov, Thompson, Hartson and Moravcik. It wasn’t a bad side they played that day either. The […]
The Gift of Celtic

Celtic vs Ajax – Frank de Boer Will Feel Confident
Current ranking in Group H of the Champions League shows no real surprises. Celtic were unlucky not to get anything from the away game in Milan and Ajax could have won the home game against Milan if it weren’t for a soft penalty very late which secured a sharing of the points in Amsterdam. With […]
Vines Spine and Reckless Ranting
So the fallout from the Hibs game on Saturday rages on. A game that had all the conditions to serve up a stereotypical Scottish football match, the beautiful game taking a back seat to as one commentator put it a “spirited performance” by the home side. Not the word I would have used personally. Of […]

UEFA Hand Brown THREE Match Ban
UEFA disciplinary panel has flexed their muscle today and banned our captain Scott Brown for THREE matches. Scott was sent off in the 1-0 defeat to Barcelona at the start of the month for trying to have a fly kick at Barcelona player Neymar who made the absolute most of what Brown did. The decision would […]
Derk – A Scouting Slip-up?
It was the beginning of August when Derk Boerrigter came to town and signed for Celtic. He was welcomed with an air of optimism but caution as his previous clubs fans were so quick to point out that the player was over familiar with the treatment table. Indeed some Ajax fans couldn’t believe their luck […]

Duck For Cover
Forget serious stories! International break is in full swing and it has all gone quiet on the domestic football front. So spare a thought for the IT man down Govan way today.

The Matthews Effect
There was very little to be down about for Celtic fans following a straight forward 2-0 victory over Motherwell at Celtic Park on Saturday, the team put in a solid performance and the teams nearest challengers Inverness lost to St Johnstone putting the team clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. However there was […]
Can’t See The Forrest For The Trees
It seems like forever ago since wee James Forrest burst onto the Celtic first team scene. It was the 1st of May 2010 when the young midfielder came on as a substitute against Motherwell and bagged himself an impressive goal on his debut. A pleasant surprise for the Celtic fans to see the bhoys talent […]
