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!

Goedon64, I stayed there a couple of weeks back and big Lucas Zalusks was there with his missus and kid. He’s a wee bit ethnic. He’s huge anew, he’d probably be big enough to get membership of the rutherglen massive.
The sclaffbaw was great today. Sergio and Rory getting that half point may be crucial.

Acgr,
I’m nightshift and won’t make the game.
I’ve no holidays left or I’d take a day off and go for it.
If you sort the bar bill, I’ll square you up later mate ;)
Don’t know if you’ve watched boardwalk empire but the main character (Steve Buscemi) is a spit for you…even Caesar started miaowing at the telly thinking it was you..:)
National Lampoons Animal House on ITV.
One of the greatest movies ever made.
Delaney’s, I’m sure they must have won every game or else !!!!!!
TET, I watched some of the St Etienne game last night, they had some flying machines in their team. France is a place we should be looking at as well for players & no work permit issues either for French born players.
Your tip about getting players from Spain’s second tier should also be looked at. Scepovic has great movement and the only two chances in the box he has had, against the Dons and Motherwell, he got both on target. The first, he scored but was offside, the second, he heided right at the goalie. Last week, Stokes got into the left side of the six yard box and Stefan was waiting in the middle fot the pass but Stokes cut in and into three well players.
Stefan has shown he can get into the position to score and we need to get the right service to him.
TET, a bit closer to you than my gaff by about 20 minutes. My man with the inside track says it’s the best course in the area. I’ll have a look at the prices and drop you a line.
Sitting watching 28 days later. It’s like a Saturday afternoon on the Copeland road.
Cot time for me. Night Night Timland. KTF.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
DD,
Mango! That sounds exotic, might pop over sometime and taste the fruit.
I reckon Montrose 6/4 is an absolute standout bet today
Sipsini, ya cheeky bass. No way he’s as handsome as acgr. FFS, I’ve still goat ma ain teeth and hair.
He’s got more cash than me right enough.
No problem on the bar bill bud, it’s just me so it will be a cheap night.
Gordon 64, completley agree about Animal House. ,
My wife told me to shut up as I’ve seen it so often, I’m almost word perfect in the script.
Mandy Pepperidge, cworrr but no major league yobboes on her
Delaney’s, did you know Teejay’s was going to be called Stiffs or Heavens Above as it was above the Coop funeral home.
Dallas Dallas,
aye the McMahon brothers had Clydebank sewn up ,
plenty good nights in their clubs

Or we have a young player who needs coaching?
Dallas
Seen quite a few bumpin their gums about Stefan not being good enough, aye, when he keeps missing chances, then they can spout, till then………
I thot the header he was impeded a bit, should have scored tho, they will come of that I am sure.
France has some quality, reasonably priced as well.
IMO, it’s the scouting that needs a radical overhaul, we are not getting anything like value for money.
It’s defenders we will be needing soon, Spain is full of no compromise defenders, cheap, just what Pedro likes, pity our coaches canny see it.

That’s no fair, I said give him a chance.
Did you see the goal he scored on debut for his new team?
Delaney’s, polis & huns in the one phrase is very apt.

Are you discussing the Hunchback of Notre Dame?
Bed time, see yeez.
Gordybhoy, I believe they weren’t the nicest people in the world if they didn’t get their way.
Did they run the Oasis as well?
In fairness to Ronnie … He’s at least saying the right things..
G64,
I was a pup back then and stayed at mates who lived in the area who I worked beside in B&S.
Clydebank wummin fair opened my eyes to the bigger picture…me being a wee bhoy from the chateau.
Dallas Dallas,

There’s saying and daying, hopefully the latter. HH
Some good reading back here.. Everyone getting on well and planning events in memory of friends and planning on going to see the celtic
Some good people on here
Magic
Dallas
Were you ever in the McMahon’s Shamrock Niteclub?
The Pogues, Saw Doctors and The Clash were Clydebank’s bands of choice in the mental 80s in there.
Sipsini
Talk is cheap
TET, I think its bad if John Park seems to have the final say on signings as his ego could be a problem if he has authority that is not questioned.
There has to be competent, solid, no nonsense defenders in their early twenties we could get if the young defenders we have won’t be considered.
ACGR
Good stuff amigo.
I loved playing gowf as a boy
Played of 7 handicap and enjoyed belting the old ball
but couldnae get my heid around the anti Celtic nonsense
of Golf clubs.
Eventually chucked it and devoted my time to a much worthier
cause of supporting the Tic.
.
Delaneys ,
aye the Shamrock Club,
many a good night in there,
Irish night in the Maltings on a sunday was a cracking night too,
used to go after having been to the Brazen Head during the day
cultsbhoy,
After hearing his interview, I tend to think RD is getting spoon fed on what to say due to his dodgy start.
I’d like nothing more than it to work out for him and us but his tactics need questioned.

I think saying the league is in the bag was a mistake
Teams already try alot harder when playing us.. And its not as if were brushing everyone aside.
Against st mirren i hope mcgregor ges rested and brown moved right.
When is
Fisher due back ?
Lustig due back ?
Matthews due back?
Cultsbhoy, like most on here I’d like to see a settled squad and RD selecting his best team and sticking with them. Give us some consistency.
Why do seem to have so many injured players all the fecking time?
Wont see the game tomorrow due to morning sclaffbaw and a promise to take Mrs acgr away for a bit of a dirty. If I’d known the game was on the box she’d have been banned in favour of Ra Celtic:_((
NLAH finished,time for my cot,
cheers bhoys for a good night on here
HH
Good night to Celtic supporters all across this wee world.
4-0 tomorrow.
HH
Delaney’s, I din’t even know the Shamrock club existed.
I’m not such a know it all lol
Duntocher, the most Celtic part of Clydebank. Hopefully, its still the same.
Kip time.
No messing about tomorrow, a win to get us moving up the league.
G64
Forgot about my nights in the Maltings. Clydebank has always been fenian friendly. God bless John Divers. His requiem mass is in St Mary’s Duntocher on Wednesday. Clydebank will do him proud. Streets will be lined with Tims paying him the respect he earned.
Fellas
We have no choice but to wait and see. We all hope RD comes good and delivers. I especially do because I don’t feel tete are a lot of takers out there if he is sacked.
My heart says he can do it but my head tells me the evidence so far suggests otherwise..
Cults
I am a man lead by my heart. Ronny Deila will be our man for great success.
I Believe! Was told in work today by a Celtic season ticket holder that I am a deluded optimist. He likes to boo oor team. He is a dafty though.
