Bonfire of the nonentities

237

How would you prepare to face a Celtic team that had already beaten you four times and drawn once this season? In their wisdom, Newco have decided this is the week to add to the clear out of talent on and off the park. It was confirmed yesterday that finance director Kenny Barclay will leave at the end of the season.

Since chairman Douglas Park resigned a month ago, the blood on the brogues has extended to chief exec Stewart Robertson, sporting director Ross Wilson, and football admin director Andrew Dickson. While I understand new chairman John Bennett is a wealthy man, he does not have the wherewithal of Park, so a downsize is no surprise. This particular trend has a way to go yet.

Today The Sun report they are inviting offers for striker Antonio Colak, just days after Mick Beale confirmed he was far from upset at the prospect of losing Alfredo Morelos for free this summer. Ryan Kent and Allan McGregor are also confirmed for the departure lounge, while others out of contract are certain to follow.

Back in the day, when Celtic were on top, Rangers would prepare for us with a siege mentality – us against the world stuff. Now the disinterest is striking. Ange Postecoglou must make the most of whatever discord exists at Ibrox on Saturday. It will not be us against the world, but it will be us against the other 50,000 in attendance. Get the siege mentality working in our favour.

    Regarding the vacancy for sevco financial director. Not only is it on Linkedin,I saw it advertised in a window of a newsagents shop in Shettleston road. It’s just above the guy that duz dog grooming and below the woman who has a Singer seeing machine for sale. Seemingly in very good condition for its age.

  2. wonder what Ange will do with goalies in the window – love JH; very very glad he’s with us – not guaranteed that he can play at a top level for another season or two.

  3. Listening to Clyde for my sins.

     

     

    For me, we have a Developing and an Incredible Team Happenin’.

     

     

    It is definitely for me by Reo Hatate. He is just Incredible.

     

     

    It’s All Good.

  4. On stadium revamp – my desire is to get 5 Star UEFA status. Getting a Final would be a big earner for us and Glasgow.

  5. “I don’t care about what the newspapers and media say,” Abada said.

     

     

    “I just care about how to improve and get better for the team.

     

     

    “What I’m focused on now is to get the three trophies. I’m really happy at Celtic, it feels like home here – everyone helps me. My relationships with the players and staff are really good.

     

     

    “Right now, we just focus on finishing the season strong. We want to do our job, it doesn’t matter against who, we want three points and trophies.

     

     

    “Sometimes you have ups and downs, so I just focus on giving 100% in training and every game.

     

     

    “You play for a club like Celtic, there’s a lot of quality players, and competition, but I just focus on myself. I just want to help the team get our target, and that’s it.

     

     

    “The coaches have helped me to improve, and hopefully I get better for the team.”

    Don’t think I’ve seen the referee give a penalty then change his mind after VAR.
