Apologies for recent radio silence. Lots going on with some weighty matters which will soon be of interest to you, unfortunately didn’t have time to blog for a few days.
So much going on simultaneously but I can’t really focus on anything with the daunting evening ahead tomorrow. Season Two of the Brendan Rodgers era will be considerably influenced by the events in Trondheim. Rosenborg are a shadow of their former glory, but Celtic must patch a team together and win (or secure a score draw) in Norway to reach the Champions League group stage.
Most Celtic fans I speak to expect us to win the game, but we’re an optimistic lot (cough). Let’s hope that’s based on sound reason.
I was surprised to hear Shaun Maloney has been speaking to Brendan Rodgers about a youth coaching role at Celtic. Shaun was a rare graduate of the Celtic youth system under Martin O’Neill, breaking through as an 18-year-old in 2001. He will also know more about Lennoxtown than practically any player, as he gorged on gym time there during lengthy periods of injury, while others were resting.
Does he have what it takes to be a good youth coach? This is a difficult one to answer. Look east. Ian Cathro had an exemplary record as youth and assistant coach under some talented managers, assisting at Valencia and Newcastle. But Cathro’s success was down to the management structure he flourished under. On his own, at Hearts, he perished. Sacked four days before the league kicks off.
If Shaun joins the Celtic coaching setup he will begin a new tutelage under Brendan Rodgers. The manager may be looking for an intelligent, open, canvass, to work with.

Auldhied, only just logged on after a working dinner, so not read back. Just a comment on a post alluding to some negativity. Never let them get you down. What you have done to forward FairPlay and transparency in Scottish football is admirable to say the least, the very least.
You have my support and admiration, and I’m sure that of many.
Keep it lit. We owe you and your ilk a debt.

I too wanted to offer my support to you and in what you’re hoping to achieve. It’s hard putting your head above the parapet at times but always remember why you’re doing it P.
Hail Hail and UTLR
In the past five years that’s two comments come out of Celtic in one way or another. The first was at the 2013 AGM and Peter Lawwells crap Rory Bremner joke in the safety of the Kerrydale suite. A sickening event to witness first hand given the spineless approach since his quip.
I much preferred Leigh Griffiths six word impromptu and succinctly delivered, truthful and off the cuff rebuke directly in the face of the zombie.
Maybe we should give Leigh a place on the board as officer of Truth and Reconciliation.
Griff telling the hun how it is more cutting than Lawwells empty AGM platitude.
Off to have a look at the zombie forums and I hope the wee man has them frothing at the eye’s and battering their keyboard with their cloven hooves.
Soal, so its cash up front in the other countries then. You’re loaded so no a problem, and yer a quick runner…..:_)
I dont think Auldheid meant to come across like that. It’s easy being misinterpreted when writing/responding off the cuff.

Sometimes they only pay half up front. Careful where you are going with that kind of encouragement :-(
Soal, its good to have few slush funds salted away, not that I would openly advocate such behaviour………:_)
I read macjay’s posts today and as much I think he’s a right wing rascist stirrer I don’t think any of them or the responses to them should have been removed.
FFS Mod 2, you’re my favourite Mod but screw the nut. Moderation in moderation.

No, You’ll get what you’re given with the likes of Bankier, tory lords or their replacements.
I’d be happy with one board member with testicles, a voracious appetite for the truth, and an ability to stand up for the Celtic support. We are being pummelled on all sides and nobody in our leadership is prepared to say enough is enough.
They make me sick.
Dr Griffiths gives his medical opinion on RFCIL
I hope the Griff starts tomorrow and scores before, during and after the game.
I also hope he ties a Celtic scarf to a goalpost and gives pre and post match interviews where he elaborates on his “deid team” comment.
Get it out there ya wee Hibee.
Nice to see someone at our club has some sense of the supporter perspective.
HH Celtic men and wummin
Just in.
I hear that the team were left to fend for themselves among drunken Sevconians at Glasgow Airport this afternoon?
Apparently Mr Hawthorn was busy in another part of the airport supervising the Rendition of the ’12 Apostles’ who were arrested on suspicion of having an offensive banner at Celtic Park to Guantanamo Bay?
I thought Health and Safety were paramount?
What about Advance Planning, Risk Assessment etc?
Oh well I suppose Mr Hawthorn has his orders to follow (follow)…
Surely Mr Hawthorn’s employment must be under review given this breach in security…in an airport?
No doubt the offender was arrested?
TGM/SA,
Are you both still here? Maybe you should get a gig with Celtic Security given your commitment.
Has there been a statement from PL yet? Or has it been left for the Griff to sort them again?
They are a nasty bunch. I’m actually convinced all this envy and hatred does them more harm than us. Very unhealthy to be consumed by hatred.
For any lurking huns;
I see PUL is catchphrase on banners and blogs!
PUL stands for Polyurethane Laminate. It can be pronouced either P-U-L or “pull”. Our PUL Fabric is waterproof, so it is ideal for the outside of cloth diapers and diaper covers;)
Nytol,
Busy day ahead.
How we have ended up with no live coverage of the first leg and Premier Sports for the 2nd is beyond me.
However, does anytime know where I can watch the Rosenborg v Celtic match in Belfast???
Celtlc minded folk on the board in moderation please.

Defo, keeping our charges dry (just in case)
Wish wee Fergus was with our board today…..
We are going to qualify :-)
