With the arrival of Dedryck Boyata, Jozo Simunovic and Erki Sviatchenko over the last 12 months, Charlie Mulgrew must have wondered if he would be offered a new contract which his current deal expires next month. Especially so considering how little football he’s played in recent years.
An incoming manager would be excused for looking at his squad and thinking Charlie was surplus to requirements, but, as we have touched on in recent weeks, the story of Celtic’s defence is more complicated.
Erik has been an unqualified success, but Jozo missed most of the season through injury, while Dedryck and Efe Ambrose suffered unfortunate (cough) spells of form. Charlie is a few years past his Player of the Year prime, but he’s a reliable consistent defender, who I’d have in the team before Efe or (Euros bound) Dedryck.
We have a bloated squad and need to move players on, but it’s no surprise Brendan Rodgers let Charlie know he wanted him to stay. He’s the right player to occupy third or fourth spot in the central defensive roster. We’ll wait and see if Jozo can grab second spot.

Just watched the documentary on the Lisbon Lions, fantastic viewing……again!!
Watching The Road to Seville now. Big Rab made a lot of good saves, gets a hard time for the final.
What about Alan Thompson these days, anyone know where he is or what he’s doing? Great player in The Hoops.
Escape goats.
FFS.They never cease to amaze.I dont think I can cope with any more insights into the zombie think process..
Is it wrong of me to cry laughing at der hun?
Can they get any more raving (I know the can ken) I find when talking at a zombie,dropping the word ken in now and again seems to upset them.I dont know why but the more you use it the more raging they get ken.

Alan Thompson was a remarkable hunskelper. Sadly we need more of these foot soldiers now and I trust Brendan and his staff will have us primed and ready for the unfortunate zombie invasion.

Roy Croppie,
He certainly was and plenty of fine crosses found the head of Larsson, Sutton and Hartson.
After he left Neil’s backroom staff he kinda disappeared. Would Luke to know how he is now
Roy. Enjoying your work as always.

:) The best thread on all of social media today, anywhere :)

OMFG! I have sore sides! That was funnier than the comments on the “First Minister Should Resign” petition! Is there no-one, not a single sevcovian, who is able to string two words together without making a pigs ear or dog’s breakfast of it? The Escape Goat is the best….
Big Archie,
I’m cruising in July. One of our stops is Lisbon. After reading all the accounts and exploits yesterday from ’67, I’ll be making the pilgrimage to Estádio Nacional.
Wife and kids know this!!!
JIMBOB71 on 26TH MAY 2016 11:17 PM
Don’t know what Thommo is working at but he was at Rugby Park on Sunday for Play Off final. He is a pal of the Killie manager. He was looking good.
Terje,
Thank you, good to hear.
My mate’s brother is youth development at Killie, Paul McDonald, ex Accies etc
I’ll ask him if he was there on Sunday and if he spoke to him.
Cheers
Jimbob71.
First cruise.Great experience..
Enjoy Lisbon.
Let the people sing..
Broonie versus Barton should be a lot of fun
Sevco Managing director equates sectarian singing with pitch invasions

Big Archie,
Glad you’re enjoying. My wife and I have cruised twice, we love it!
Taking our kids for 1st time, aged 11 & 9. Think they’ll enjoy it too, plenty of fun things for them to do.
The Escape Goats have formed a band and are releasing the following singles:-

Now that Brendan is our manager and we have so much to look forward to pre-season tournament, CL qualifiers, potential signings, departures, team formations, season ticket sales etc., I hope the Blog can get back to talking about Celtic and forget the Gullibillies for a wee while.
Hail! Hail! and Good Night all :-))

Assume the best ever goat song – Paddy McGinty’s Goat – is not on their playlist…? ;-)))
Maybe Warbo’s off looking for the escaped goat?
Just read Herald
Hibs fans invaded pitch.
Sevco fans ended up on the pitch.

And for the garage to phone me tomorrow and tell me they’ve fixed my wife’s car and I don’t owe them a penny!
Then, life is all good!!!
THE DONALD on 26TH MAY 2016 11:53 PM
Well hullawrerr , China.
Have missed your regular missives.
Perhaps leave Liam and Stokesy with Hibs.
After Saturday I want them and their magnificent supporters back to join us in our anti- hun campaigns.
A.S.A.P.
I’m off.
I refuse to be the escape goat and the butt of your jokes.
I’m not kidding!! : > )
SFTB
Girl, you really goat me now
I find it pretty hard to believe they’ve let a goat escape. Not with all the goat-handling experience they’ve ….errr……goat…
So who are The Three Billy Goats Gruff?
I demand to know their names!!!
I’m a wee bit concerned about references to Manchester, Barcelona, Newcastle etc.
It’s completely unfair as we all know that was a different club.
I got called a “papish twat” today.
I was down at the smoke area and this guy was on his moby, I could see he was on hun media. He looked at me and we had a wee, alright, how you doing. I said to him, are you a member on there? I had a wee smile as I said it.
Now already he’s thinking he’s found a kindred spirit and gushes forth, aye mate seven years. I took a wee draw of my smoke and asked him which fuckwit he was.
Fifteen minutes of chat later he departed stage left and muttered fock off ya papish twat. I shouted after him, has the tragic hat considered signing Tony Stokes. Then I lit another tab and had a wee smirk.
I don’t think we’ll be sharing coffee any time soon, or any mair tabs.
Huns, don’t you just love giving it to them:_)
