I’ve spoken to many Celtic fans over the last couple of days but I’ve not met one who would have preferred Roy Keane to be our manager instead of Ronny Deila. Despite some impeccable references, Ronny is a largely unknown character, but there is an appreciation among the support that we need to come up with a plan to enable the club to over-achieve in Europe.
The man’s performance at the media conference was faultless. It’s not important to quick-witted but his use of words like “energise” and “offensive” is promising. Football is in the entertainment business and Ronny appears to appreciate the link between the way his team perform, not just their results, and the ultimate satisfaction supporters’ leave the ground with.
Our thanks to the Greenock Celtic Supporters Club for hosting last night’s CQN Lions fundraiser for the Celtic FC Foundation. We were fortunate to be entertained by Willie Wallace, John Hughes and Bertie Auld, it was a fantastic night, full of laughs.
Special thanks to those who attended and helped raise over £2000 for the Foundation, and to those who promised to get involved with the Foundation. The club is in good hands with supporters like those in Greenock last night. Big shout to Joe and Mick for bringing a familiar old friend along.
Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his tome, All the Best.

Here it’s now an international competition?
Good article on Tony Watt in the Mail

I think most fans desperately want him to succeed at Celtic. When on form he just seems such a direct, powerful, fast finisher. In Belgium he scored 9 goals in 18 games including goals against Club Brugge and Anderlecht. I don’t think there are too many 20 year olds in European football who had a better scoring record than that last season.
However, he really needs to work harder and stop falling out with managers. Already by the age of 20 he has fallen out with Lennon, Stark (Scotland u-21 boss) and Lenzo. Surely he has realised he needs to train harder and stop being such a little sh*t. If he has he could very easily become a superstar for us!! I hoping he’s going to be our main man next season
Just watched Father Ted kick Bishop Brennan up the arse for the umpteenth time.
Quality us timeless.
Night Timdom.

I can only speak for myself yes you are being presumptuous,my interest is not in where he went, if he went to parkhead my concerns would still be real.
They may not be in line with how others see it but hey ho,but I assure you again my interest was not raised by his destination.
sleep well
Struggling against 10 men an that fud says on evidence tonight, can’t see too much trouble from Central American teams…..WTF?
Izzy looking a class act
Can’t see England getting out the group .
Pedro – echoing my wtf… Ingerlund have offered zero this half. Excuses being made by Townsend. Italy will be licking their lips
Gordon 64, for sure… Look forward to that… Only place that I go for a drink now is the KoSC… Cheers… TBM
Was thinking on putting a bet on England being home before the postcards. Does anybody know what the postal system is like in Brazil?

It would take a lot to faze Jack Charlton, but BB shocked him that night.
Very good 30 yard effort from Izzy well saved by Big Fraser.
The English commentator just said FF is about to sign a new contract with the club!
Hope his info is good.
Burghbhoy
International competition?
Izzy doing his reputation no harm at all here.
Doc
Think he said Izzy has just signed a contract
Be aware Craig Gordon, if you sign for the Hoops, kiss bye bye tae yer TV gig.
Sturridge hit with drink by Engerland fans.

Doc – heard that too… My hearing not failing after all! I hope…
Abzmike
Italy will be licking their stamps for their postcards for the second phase…
Good grief!
You telling me Izzy got one on target? Surely not!
Agreed, England would do very well, especially on this performance, to get out of that group.
But sometimes the country going in to the WC on poor form wins it!
Italy are in that position, but then no European country has won in the Americas.
England hanging on against 10 man Honduras for a draw
Argentina for me .
TBM
Will link up with BT and arrange a wee scoop
at the KOSC.

BJMac, he said, about to! But given the overall quality of commentary it wouldn’t be a surprise.

Captain beef heart
Collymore is going to be on MOTD next year.
He may talk about us in a good fashion but he’s still a wife beater
::::::
Had similar thoughts myself
Uruguay, dark horse for me.
Re likely WC performance/results based on friendly warm up matches. I don’t think so!
England are not great but not completely shabby and I think the same could be said of Italy.
Think it will be close between them for 2nd place.
Watched that game and if England get out of there section they will do well. Rooney wouldn’t be in my team.
Pedro
Very very efficient, but that won’t matter;)
Big Fraser coming off giving izzi a row for shooting.
