Christie and managing your assets

Surely Ryan Christie deserves a season at Celtic to show what he can do?  It was a sound enough idea to buy him and immediately loan him back to Inverness.  He has flourished at Aberdeen, but with only 10 Celtic appearances in what will be three years since joining the club, he has not been given a platform to show what he has.

I get that competition is great for the creative mid spots at Celtic, but our plan should be to develop players into first team regulars, or enhance their value and sell them profitably.  Ryan is doing well enough at Aberdeen to attract interest from the Football League, but with a few medals and perhaps Champions League experience under his belt, he would be a more valuable asset.

Celtic players are worth more than Aberdeen players, just as Manchester City and PSG players are worth more than Celtic’s.  Bring Ryan in for next season, make a decision on his future, or work to enhance his value to the club.

    Gotta say that Happy Families on here this last week or so has been just peachy,but when it turns into Friends Reunited,well,naw.

     

     

    Oh,ok then. Thoroughly enjoyed that exchange wi childhood friends/acquaintances/neighbours trying to see through the monikers! I think they got there in the end,which was good to see.

     

     

    Maybe the next hootenanny should be in Partick,I’d suggest The Three Judges as there’s been a few mini-hoots in there. Wi SENGA and her pals,and a fair few others.

     

     

    It’s a bit on the small side,but it was big enough to introduce the two tallest fellas I’ve ever met-gentlemen both-to each other.

     

     

    PMSL when the 6’10” ANTEARMANN went-Ffs,what height are you?!!!-to the 7’2″ McTALL!

    Not at all,my apologies for the misunderstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed reading that back this morning.

     

     

    Honest.

     

     

    I was PMSL as you bounced names around,trying hard to identify yourself without identifying yourself,if you know what I mean.

     

     

    That was my fault,though. Not in the habit of putting a smiley or anything.

     

     

    I genuinely hope you guys meet up together just for a catch-up. CQN is helluva good for that kinda thing.

     

     

    And I wish I’d had a Modern Studies teacher who liked to talk about Celtic. Though I did have a Chemistry teacher who loved to wind us up,head of dept and a Rangers fan.

     

     

    Never a hun though. I met him 15 years later,we went for a beer and a catch-up. Wonderful man.

     

     

    For any ex-St Andrews,Saltcoats fellas looking in,that was Jimmy Hamilton for you.

    He is not just one of the club’s greatest ever players, but one of the club’s greatest ever supporters. There are few former players more deserving of the love they get from the Celtic support than Bertie Auld.

    Happy birthday Bertie.

     

    After skill in abundance Bertie has the no.2 requirement for being a Celt.

     

    Self belief.

     

    The man oozes it out of every pour.

     

    Ah love im

  29. Hot Smoked on

    `Gallus ` was coined for Bertie Auld.

     

    Of our ex-players,John Fallon and Charlie Gallagher are also excellent supporters.

     

    Cheerio for now.

    BERTIE AULD ON THAT DAY, IN THE HEAT OF LISBON…

     

     

    So many fabulous memories come flooding back about that day. I’ll tell you this, though – I’m totally convinced there was no need to kick-off in Lisbon.

     

     

    We won that game in the tunnel, believe me. I will always, always remember the horrified look on the faces of their players when I belted out the Celtic Song and all my team-mates joined in.

     

     

    There was a fair distance to walk to the tunnel from the dressing room and we were all left standing there in this cramped space waiting for the go-ahead to come out and walk into that glorious sunshine en route to the lavish green grass of the pitch.

     

     

    The timing had to be absolutely right because, of course, the match was being beamed live throughout Europe and some networks would have timed it to start only five minutes or so before the kick-off, giving them time to list the teams, referee etc.

     

     

    Anyway, we were in the tunnel and these guys from Inter Milan looked like gods, never mind footballers. I recall they were all immaculate, there wasn’t a hair out of place anywhere. They oozed glamour.

     

     

    Their blue-and-black tops had been hand-pressed by an expert. A lot of us were standing there minus our false teeth. It didn’t look like a fair fight.

     

     

    I looked at Giacinto Facchetti, their world-famous left-back. He was about 6ft 3in and was such an imposing figure. He looked as though he had stepped straight out of a sportswear cataolgue.

     

     

    We were all having a good laugh and the Italians simply looked bemused. I heard mutterings of ‘loco, loco’ among their ranks. They really didn’t know what they were up against. “Hail! Hail! The Celts are here”, bounced around the walls of the tunnel.

     

     

    Big Billy, of course, was first out, chest proudly expanded to its maximum. In order, our captain was followed by Ronnie Simpson, Tommy Gemmell, John Clark, yours truly, Bobby Lennox, Stevie Chalmers, Jimmy Johnstone, Willie Wallace, Jim Craig and Bobby Murdoch.

     

     

    Reserve keeper John Fallon came next with his lucky teddy bear and then out strode Jock Stein alongside Neilly Mochan, our trainer, with assistant boss Sean Fallon and physiotherapist Bob Rooney following on.

     

     

    If you get the opportunity to watch footage of the teams strolling out onto the track and then onto the playing surface have a look at the Italians. A lot of them are actually eyeing us up and down and shaking their heads.

     

     

    They were just a tad bemused. They were going to get a lot more bemused by time-up, that was certain!

     

     

    I hit their crossbar with a run and shot as we swept down on them looking for a first-half equaliser. I’ve often been asked if I intended a cross, but the ball took a strange swerve and ended up heading for goal.

     

     

    Take it from me, that was an attempt at goal. I put a little bend on the ball as I hared into their box and I thought it looked good. Well, it would have had to be good to beat their keeper Sarti who was unbelievable.

     

     

    However, the woodwork got in the way of me and glory and the ball bounced to safety. Thankfully, Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers had better fortune later on.

    I’ve still got a copy of A Bhoy Called Bertie,original black hardback but missing the cover.

     

     

    Dunno how the cover got lost,but it’s a great read.

     

     

    He was the man who allowed the others to play. None of them were shrinking violets,but Bertie kept an eye out for all of his younger team-mates.

     

     

    There is also the tale of the ball being kicked high up the park by the Leeds keeper at Hampden. Dirty Leeds didnae happen after that.

     

     

    It’s telling that the legendary thug Johnny Giles hardly kicked a ball in either game. Great player ruined by his evil streak.

  38. The hand of God on

    For me personally Bertie Auld is the archetypal Celt…..fantastic player,great humour and rapport with the fans,hard as nails…the great Glasgow word GALLUS was invented for him…for me the most legendary of legends.

    Full of admiration for Bertie Auld. Love hearing him talk about his time at Celtic in interviews. Great representation of everything that’s good about our club IMO
