If you were lucky enough, like me, to enjoy a long Christmas holiday, I hope you had a good one. I’m sure few of us are delighted to be back at it today but there’s an indisputable mood on the blog for bringing in the New. A fresh start is needed and fortunately we’re at the start of the transfer window.
For Celtic most attention will be directed towards recruiting a striker who is capable of doing the business in the Champions League, not to overlook the important point of doing the business in Champions League qualifiers. 20-year-old Icelandic striker, Holmbert Fridjobsson, finally joins the club this month but although we’ll hopefully see plenty of the player this month he is surely considered ‘one for the future’.
One prolific striker does not solve all of Celtic’s issues, however. The club remains acutely dependent on Kris Commons’ creativity (as well as goal scoring), which will become increasingly less-effective as opponents setup to inhibit him. He needs a foil.
Since the annihilation in Barcelona Celtic have offered greater protection from midfield but with both full backs encouraged to overlap the midfield anchor role, previously occupied by Wanyama, becomes crucially important. It also offers support to the strategy of allowing Commons a free role as an attacking midfielder.
Over the break, Archie MacPherson, Scotland’s greatest ever broadcaster, wrote an article for Celtic Quick News comparing two of Scotland’s greatest ever managers. These debates are, of course, subjective, but the article provides a few objective points for consideration. Archie has a totally unique range to deal with this question and is in no doubt as to who the master was. Look out for the article next week, you’ll enjoy it – no guessing now.

I only posted twice yesterday, and they both seem to have hit the post and bounced back out to safety. Should’ve got Kris Commons (second half variant) on the case…

Had to replace CQN with twitter yesterday.
Alex, Phil, and Angela all happy with comparing the current Celtic support with the Millwall army of thugs who caused havoc over decades, including full-blown riots, stabbings, and numerous other violent altercations.
With friends like these……

Had the displeasure of reading the first 15 Paragraph’s of that vomit a few days ago along with another piece (on WordPress) which I don’t really understand, about land the Club acquired from the Council. Anyone here know the story i’m talking about that fully understands all the in’s n out’s of it & can break it down for the less intelligent of us that are on here.
As for Alex Thompson, well……..Imagine if he was the guy that first coined the phrase “Sycophantic Journalism”….Hold on, he was. Could ye imagine how different the story would’ve been had he ever been on the end of death threats & hate mail from the Huns?….Wait a minute, thats right… He was! I can’t even express on here what i think of that Blimey Sastard.
Happy NewYear TimLand!
Cqn bein down saved a lot of folk embarrassing themselves up to an including half time. We should have been 3 up at half time but cud only imagine the gnashing of teeth of some on here. Wud have shown a lot up but then they never post after a good win so prob didn’t even know it was still down!
Thank God, I had to buy a paper this morning…..btw
I missed yees
My new year resolution of a daily post has been scuppered, but well done on the restoration Paul and team. I know from bitter personal experience what a fraught time you will have been having.
