This is the last day to complete our survey into who we, the Celtic community, are, our thoughts, values and where we came from. It’s a short, anonymous, survey, with questions on the Living Wage, the Offensive Behaviour Act, Resolution 12 and other topics, including your view on last week’s referendum.
Thousands of people have already taken part so we will have an excellent insight into what the Celtic community looks like in 2014. If you’ve not already participated, you can let your voice be heard here.
A European academic has compiled the survey and we’ll publish findings shortly.
It’s refreshing to hear a manager be frank about a sporting forgone conclusion, as Ronny did yesterday, “we are definitely going to win the league”. More importantly, he added “The goal is the treble”.
For reasons which have never been evident, apart from Jock Stein’s first five seasons, and a gloriously sunny day in 1957, Celtic have underachieved on a massive scale in the League Cup, a trophy we haven’t won in the last five seasons.
It’s maybe been seen as too much of a poor-relation when the team have higher targets in mind, but it’s more accurate to say we have been an ill-prepared soft touch since Jock’s five-in-a-row came to an end. Superior performances in the Scottish Cup suggest there is more than the randomness of cup football at play in the League trophy.
I never understood the criticisms of Neil Lennon for his ‘failure’ to win the treble. We achieved this feat only three times in our history. Even when we won the league, the vast majority of times we failed to win both cups was as a result of defeat to someone other than Rangers, so their liquidation in 2012 should not affect the trend.
Ronny is three games away from his first trophy as a Celtic manager; he will be hot favourite for each of them. On paper, the Scottish Cup will present no more danger, but winning two cups takes a level of consistency that even the great [and consistent]Celtic teams struggled to achieve.
Before we consider the treble we need to find consistency in the league and Europa League, starting with wins and clean sheets against St Mirren and Dinamo Zagreb. If we can do this, this could yet be a memorable season.
Remember the survey closes tonight!

Football is a simple game. Ronny’s complicating it needlessly.
If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.” Fav Benn quote.

to over complicate things.

Izzy and John Guidetti complemented Stokesy on Wednesday night. Kris also was also on the same wavelength as the aforementioned three.

I also agree with your comments on pace, that was one of Ronny’s first statements, about adding to the team
I do not see it though in players we have signed ( note seen Wakaso live yet )

Wouldn’t go that far…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Cowiebhoy, he was in the veteran stage when we signed him.
Paul Telfer frustrated me with his poor passing & crossing at times but Gordon knew what he gave to the team and after a few months, I started appreciating what he did for & gave to the team.
The board just see pound signs for players, unfortunately. They don’t seem to realise getting some seasoned pros in can help the team which in turn should help us win more then assist us getting into the champions league then get the big dosh.
Players like Paul Hartley & Barry Robson wouldn’t even be considered now despite the fact they drove us on in 2008 to win the title and show the deidsters, they couldn’t intimidate us.
A well
Girls in bed. I’m on the Glenfiddich…
Thought I’d miss the game because we’re away for the weekend.
The missus turns round last week and asks if I’ve sorted tickets for St Mirren.
Magic :-)

respite some reservations about some players performances on Wednesday I would like to see RD start with the SAME team:-) . Never change a winning team used to be a watch phrase(Is there such a word?) and in the main it worked:-) .C’mon Ronny try something really innovative play the same bloody team:-)

Gordybhoy, Saturday’s Kids one the Jam’s finest. It’s in my top five Jam songs. Great melody & lyrics Drive cortinas, fur trimmed dashboards, stains on the seats, in the back of course.
Phyllis, Arry Redknapp was on goals on Sunday just after John Cushley passed away.
They showed him a West Ham team photo from the mid sixties. He pointed to his team mates from the photo and was very complimetary about Cush, saying he was a top bloke and was upset about him not being with us anymore.
Good to be posting with Celtic supporters tonight.
HH
