The thought was put to me this morning that Kris Boyd’s ill-considered comments on the Celtic squad – that they are divided – could be the best thing that happened to the team this season. Football clubs and footballers perform best with a ‘them’ to work against. We had this briefly under Ronny, when Aberdeen kept in touch for five months of the season, but since then we have pretty much had the run of the place.
Boyd is a professional footballer playing in the same league as Celtic. When an opponent comments on you or your team, the words carry greater resonance than they otherwise would. I doubt newspaper clippings are pinned to dressing room doors, but everyone at Lennoxtown will have reacted to what a Kilmarnock player has said about them.
Then we had the “Aston Villa make their move” for Brendan Rodgers tat. Brendan will leave Celtic eventually, but the entire planet knows it will not be for a team 15th placed in the Championship. It is no indication of his or Celtic’s worth and insulting to suggest otherwise.
Footballers and managers are best with a point to prove. Celtic are capable of winning every domestic game between now and the winter break. Whatever has gone on at Lennoxtown this season, recent comments have given the squad plenty of motivation.

Enjoy the game Jozo.
For once I hope your team gets pumped:-))

Scotland winning or losing doesn’t usually bother me but with the opposition tonight I hope they record their biggest ever win. I’d support England against this other ‘European’ mob.

It’s a hun trait….re buckfast Brown.
Is that the Mad Israeli Arab – Biram Kayal – it is !!! Excellent – go Biram !!!!
Kenny ‘you don’t pick and choose when you play for the national team’ Miller, who retired from Scotland in 2013….
SFTB,
I don’t think James Forrest has been setting the heather on fire so much this season. He was tremendous last season; too often, imo, this season, he and Lustig haven’t really contributed to our going forward. In Perth, all his goals came from through passes from Rogic.
Another ex Hun on Sky sports,in fact you could name all ex Sevco players on the media, McCulloch, Dodds, Johnstone,Boyd,McCoist,Wishart,McCann,Millar,ex Celtic players?,I ditched Sky Sports,Andy Cairns is the bluenose editor at Sky, says it all.
Say a prayer for the residents of Mexico Beach The Florida Panhandle, let’s hope they can get their lives back together…

TIMBHOY2,
I cancelled SKY a couple of years ago. More or less, once a month, they invite me back. I think I may ring them and tell them I have no desire to rejoin so long as they allow their sports editor free reign to indulge his bias.
GORBALSTAM
Why is that ?
Timbhoy
Miller, Walker, Provan and Commons were all on Sky last season.
If scotland had a half wit as their manager they would be strolling this game, Israel and shocking, some of the players don’t seem to have a clue where they are supposed to be.
Sammi-last minute winner against the sheep at home after being 3:1 down I think ?
If Celtic got penalties for tackles like that, we would get half a doz a game at least
THE EXILED TIM
As long as he is a hun halfwit the SFA and mssm would be happy with.
Wonder if Big Eck will take the job at Ibrox, if Stevie G is head hunted ?
He would do both to pay his EBT if he gets a demand
One of the shifts will be tax free again.
Wish Charlie was still with us .
Great penalty take.
Not watching game,no interest except hoping no injuries to our Lhads?
Wee ?-I have the full virgin package,if I cancel the sports channels will I lose any other channels?
Remember Scotland fans….as advertised when announced ……come & see C Ronaldo at Hampdump……
What’s the chances ??????

He’s not here cause of the another penalty. Theat one was imposed for his err influence in his second stint.
Did anyone see the Israel fan wearing the Celtic scarf after KT was clipped by Naycho.

Thanks .
Never could quite understand why he left .
Always remember his headed goal from Kris Commons corner against the unclean .
Well taken penalty from Mulgrew.
A pity he and Commons chose to publicly undermine Ronnie.
Brendan, rightly, gave short shrift to both.
One is now a soup-taker.
I wonder what will happen to Charlie?
BCW
Wrong….thats all I am sayin
Adi
Which post is wrong :-)
Aaah
1-1
Carved open, Robertson didn’t cover himself in glory there, turned inside out.
BCW-who will head hunt SG??
TET It was KT’s error.
Could someone please tell me the last time a Scotland goalkeeper played in orange. Thought not.
