There can be little more satisfying experiences for a manager than seeing two new strikers get on the score sheet so quickly. Oliver Burke and Timo Weah have scored twice since making their debuts on Saturday. With Vakoun Issouf Bayo taking a halftime bow and Odsonne Edouard back in training, December’s scenario when Mikey Johnston was asked to play as striker seems a distant memory.
All Celtic can do to increase their lead at the top of the table is to continue to win and watch what happens below. Kilmarnock moved into second place with a win over Newco last night, but they travel to fourth placed Aberdeen on Saturday, who, if they win, would be the third team to occupy second place within four days.
Earlier this season, when Hearts were top of the table and enjoying lots of media accolade, I was asked by someone not too familiar with the game if Craig Levein was a good manager. At the time Craig was popping up everywhere, enjoying a glow of satisfaction. “No. Craig Levein is not a good manager” was my reply. The Edinburgh are sixth and sinking fast. Craig Levein’s performances have returned to the norm.

A couple of clicks will tell you Jim Craig is the main writer on The Celtic Star. Winning Captains is now an administrator on The Celtic noise.
========
The Celtic Noise is the forum linked to the Celtic Star, looks like WC is behind it all. Fair play to him. The output is good, reliable, and anything but clickbait as was described here yesterday. I think that description should be left for the HITC’s, Transfer Tavern, Football Fan Cast, etc etc.

Manager of Atalanta quoted — ” No chance . we want to keep him ,not give him away “

All good thanks. All the Bankie fans I know, are making the trip to the Ayrshire Seaside tomorrow. Had I not been going to Paradise for Hamilton match, I may have jumped on one of their supporters buses to Girvan.
Good crowd and good match expected.

Park Road is talking to himself on the new article !!
Belter on E Tims today.Some Mental Hun,posting somewhere on some scum blog on Tuesday.
“Canny wait tae the end of the season,when big Worrall goes back tae Nottingham,and waves his League champions medal ,right in that O’Neils face.55 ya Bassa”.
Thursday,
Worrall,get tae F—.
TURKEYBHOY .
Castagne ?
Seen a lot of him on the tele . Atalanta play attractive ,attacking football . I like their Manager . I pay attention to their games .
I think he is a very good player . Atalanta sites feature lots of punters who think he is a more of a wing back than a full back.
Facts are thin — he publicly stated he wanted to play more ( sometimes he plays , sometimes the Dutch wing back /right back (Hateboer ) plays . . Manager of Atalanta stated he picked the team (as the situation required ) . After that – the fly a kite – Celtic / Swansea /Besiktas / Hoffenheim /Lazio / Fiorentina and Napoli -stories appeared . Gasperini(Atalanta Manager ) has publicly stated that he wants to keep him but if he ends up leaving -it’ll take serious money
Afternoon
