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.

Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers were once great rivals in Dublin (both having been formed in the Ringsend area of the South City Centre)
I am a Rovers man but have a few Shelbourne supporting pals (God love them) .
Any minute now TET will be on to say St Patrick’s Athletic are the only team worth supporting in Dublin

GORDYBHOY 64-did you see my earlier post and what I got for my birthday
So the Scotsman article is based on Nir being trolled ‘on line
‘ by Celtic fans – in that case ‘on line’ I am six foot two, built like Adonis and am signing for Celtic next week.
That’s how much truth there is in anonymous on-line info.
Where is the actual evidence that this is not some hun jakey with a laptop?
Fairhill Bhoy,
Was that the post about going to see Billy Joel?
GORDYBHOY64-em yes that’s the one?
Anyone know who the grey haired guy standing behind Strong Rangers McRae at the cup presentation is?
Didn’t look best pleased!
Fairhill Bhoy,
never thought anyone would be so mean to someone on their birthday ;-))
GORDYBHOY64-£340 just for tickets and £140 for overnight stay,she’s not mean mate,she’s raging and skint :-))))))

So typical of Manchester. One of the greatest cities in the world.
Re FFP
King – he of the glib, shameless variety is on record recently saying that due to the financial peculiarity that is Govanomics ( borrow now, pay if you feel like it at a later date ) they are deliberately running at a loss.
Is this a clear admission of a breach of FFP rules or am I missing something?

May have been covered previously but I didn’t see it on a quick read back
Serious question that may have been asked and answered already. Do moderators post on this blog other than as a moderator? That is could I post as Tobago Street and also be a moderator?

Good morning good ghuys from a dry but dull North Glasgow
BMCUWP don’t know what’s happened as been busy with work and family, but please come back on.
I for one enjoyed your posts and thought you were always very helpful and curteous to all on here.
So please reconsider, as this place will be a lot worse without you. That I do know.
Hail Hail

I seen one of Brendans interviews over the weekend and what struck me was that he knows that this season in the league we let ourselves down.
He went onto say that he has to push the players even more this season coming.
If I was a manager of any other spl team I would be very afraid.
It’s almost as if Brendan was kicking back at all the criticism our team have had about draws etc.
I think he will be even more motivated this season.

Almore – I’m curious as to what event your daily countdown relates. Cafe announcement? Pay day?
By the way let ourselves down with draws and performance levels, I know we won the league and treble, before anyone criticises my first line in last post

Philip Roth RIP
A very funny writer in both senses of the word.
As is the case with my blog name, I am a fan of one of the author’s less well-known and less critically acclaimed books- The Great American Novel- which is loosely about Baseball and Communism- and is very funny.
I see ole Skrtl has been a rough ride on here and quite rightly so – what the hell is a 33 year old Slovakian going to achieve in Glasgow – FFS.

Re FFP
It’s ok to have certain levels of debt under FFP. I cannot recall exact figures but the story is that TRFC got under the crossbar by claiming some of the debt was due to ground development/improvements which can be deducted from the total debt limit which triggers failure to break even.
If there is a way to wriggle a way through the rules then that mob will find it.
Almore,
I’m sure your pink outfit will be just fine. Just above the knee is de rigeur, I’m told ?
