There should be a slight embarrassment of riches around Celtic today as one of our loan players, Lewis Morgan, picked up his Championship Player of the Year award. The 21-year-old left-mid player signed for Celtic in January but remained a St Mirren player, on loan, until the end of the season.
Lewis is two years younger than Jack Hendry, who signed from Dundee this year, but will share a development play with the central defender, and with goalkeeper Scott Bain (26).
With left-footed-inverted-right-wing Patrick Roberts returning to Manchester City this week and one of our other left-footed wide players, Jonny Hayes, out injured since August, there is a clear opening in the squad for Lewis.
The Champions League qualifiers are (hopefully) a marathon eight games in eight weeks, a period that coincides with the start of the Premiership kick off. During this time the squad will need to reach peak fitness, but remain rested, two conflicting objectives.
Lewis should experience his first competitive action as a Celtic player during this period. There will be around 12 games in those eight weeks, a lot of tired limbs and a corresponding injury profile. For you and me, that’s a worry, but Lewis will know it is his chance to shine.

OLDTIM67,
Maybe we can see if the ‘Double Treble Open Top Bus’ is still available to take everyone up to Celtic Park/ Parkhead ?
Weather forecast for Friday in Glasgow is warm with plenty sunshine ?

Can you please delete supersuttons post about two no7 on Sunday
We discussed this on way home from game and said
If a certain team gets wind of this will result in the Union bears demanding we get a 15pt(sure thats enough Billy?) deduction for player irregularities.

Good point….
Celtic play Shamrock Rovers in a friendly on 7th July
In the 80s Rovers did a treble double.
Which is better
Treble Double or Double Treble ??
Bateen
The open top bus was magic. All that was missing was OldTim in his pink jaiket. See you Friday my Aiberdonian pal that talks funny. ????????

I’ve got your badge from the last league game but sadly can’t make Friday. Can I post it to DD?
HH
WITS – me da was a Shels fan – the words ‘shamrock rovers’ weren’t allowed in the house
Serious question, Gene posted around an hour ago about Tottenham’s movable pitch.
1. Where have I heard this idea before?
2. Why not have the NFL pitch above the grass pitch? It must be lighter, and would slide together more easily in the three sections, being synthetic.
But what do I know?

HEROES ARE FOREVER-9:46pm from yesterday.Still reading back and came to your post.God bless Helen,a hero forever
Fairhill Bhoy , happy birthday.
I got a Danny McGrain t shirt from Boca 10 for my recent birthday.
Their t shirts are good but I’m perturbed they now pander to the hun mentality with WATP and British flags on them to increase their sales to sevs .
Jamesgang, I’ve seen you jiggin in thon gay bar. Nothing wrong wi your knees. It was like saturday night fever except it was very very early sat morning. Me and Ritchie were in complete awe of your moves……?
Still reading back and it seems kevj is winning,still only 11:28pm though ?
JamesGang: Justice at last:-)
See you next season.
DALLAS DALLAS-I know what you mean mate,I’ve sorted that problem by letting my wife,stepdaughter and stepson buy them for me ?
FB- aye DN looked fit to play , HH
DOD- I seen a profile on Shalke a couple of years ago, they lift an end of the stadium and wheel the pitch out under it to get worked on….
WITS-11:41pm last night!Well said
BADA BING-sorry mate I’m reading on my iPhone and reading back on iPad ?where you in the beechwood Saturday
Been catching up from beginning of previous article,McGregor etc., and my thoughts and prayers are with Heroes Are Forever on the loss of his daughter at such an young age.
A wee candle will lit and a few prayers said tomorrow in St Winin’s Kilwinning .
RIP Helen.
BMCUWP: You get your ar.. back on here in jig time! What are playing at letting a heidbanger be it the original version,KevJ,or another one,the Moderator! get to you.Anyway,is the Moderator no something to do with The Church of Scotland and when were they last something that would bother you.
Leaving here (that other word is shit) in the circumstances you find yourself is akin to backing down
TIMS FROM KILWINNING DONT SIT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS!
I willl phone you tomorrow on way to golf.
Fairhill bhoy, I have a discount card for Boca 10 but i’m lucky if I have bought two of their t shirts over the last year.
I never had a problemwith them selling hun t shirts at all, its a business , but trying to sell more by including WATP. and British flags on their gear , does not sit well with me .
One of the staff , a few years ago , told me the Celtic t shirts made up 65% of their sales.
I passed a BMW today that had WATP 6 as its number plate. I hope the car owner’s grandchildren will be Celtic fans.
God night all and sleep well.
Goooooooood Evening CQN – Double Treble Winning Champions

CORKCELT-10:13am this morning.At last ?
DALLAS DALLAS-discount card?
Fairhill Bhoy
Very hoooopy birthday ??
12 months ago today I was sitting in my hotel room in Manchester as news was breaking
Tonight I am again sitting in a hotel room in Manchester and just watched the local news,
Well done the people of Manchester
Better still 15 years ago I was sitting in a hotel in Seville ??
Re Biton
My memory may be off, but wasn’t the reason he got some abuse because, days after 4 kids who were playing football were bombed by Israel, he posted a prayer for the Israeli defence force?
Just a personal opinion on what I have seen/witnessed this season, from the list of players earlier
Would be giving Johnie Hayes a chance – he offers cover in several positions
I would never in a month of Sundays give James Forrest the No.7 shirt
He has had a better season than his normal standard – in my opinion is poor more often than decent
I actually think we should be looking for a better player for that position – who can get to bye line, and put In a decent cross, and forward pass, creating better chances
Just my opinion in what I watch
Hail Hail
NORRIEM-couldn’t believe it happened on my birthday never mind a year ago already.god bless everyone involved
NORRIEM-be in Manchester next month for Billy Joel ?thanks for the birthday wishes ?
Fairhill bhoy, about 5 years , I was getting. T shirt at their Silverburn stall when my wife mentioned I already had ten of their t shirts . The chap in the stall gave me the 10% discount card .
Definitely bed time now

Don’t know the details but he is getting a hammering for being a supporter of the IDF on social media. It seems he has inflamed the situation further with his post today. It was a stupid idea and i don’t think the Club will be happy with him at all.
