  1. Today BBC scotland sport website are running a story about Morelos being racially abused on social media…..no comment from me on that ..however I found it incredible that they managed to publish both sevcos pre-season fixtures and scores in the article…..haha…they really are taking it seriously [ I am not talking about the alleged racism].

    Lazy

     

     

    According to Hun websites this was the abuse:

     

     

    Ya black b*****d mon the Ira

     

     

    Real stretch of the imagination to associate the two, no idea of the authenticity either😕

    Yes, we must not pay too much attention to pre season friendlies. However, losing is a bad habit that we must not easily accept. Winning builds confidence and morale is much improved.

     

     

    *11 year ago we won the Wembley Cup, a couple of weeks later we were victorious in Moscow. That season didnae pan oot too good, we eventually lost in the SC to a lower league side.

  4. Saint Stivs:

     

     

    `Rangers’ lack of guile in the final third was much publicised last term`

     

     

    Any idea where it was much publicised ??

    If you want to convey truth “right” and “correct” are interchangeable and mean exactly the same thing.

     

     

     

    Don`t take me too seriously in matters grammatical or semantical. I am fairly light-hearted on the subjects.

    We play them Tuesday – would hope we had at least another game before the 2nd.

     

    Nuffin wong wiff propur gramma

  7. Gene:

     

     

    `would hope we had at least another game before the 2nd.`

     

     

    We could always arrange a friendly v Sevco. They do take them seriously so would offer us a reasonable runout.

    So so true…

    The Scottish media will be pulling out ALL the stops against us and our kind this season.

     

    Everything is on the line…every Celtic 3points will be a dagger through their rancid bigoted hearts and the institutional club they love.

     

    We are in stage one…..let the ‘feel good factor’ return to Ibrox..completely forget what a team of mugs they ended up being last season as soon as the slightest bit of pressure was on……almost zero changes yet they are now being described as a team with great potential.

    Another pre-season tourney I remember. Funny that.

     

    Also remember that the first game, on the Friday evening against the Egyptian champs was played under the heaviest rain I’ve seen in London. Very young team too, played brilliantly.

    Have we got a preseason game next weekend

     

    ______

     

    I read somewhere, we might be playing Dundalk at home on Saturday. Would be available on the virtual ticket.

  11. On a serious note,

     

    I was in Glasgow Argyle Street today. First time in 6 months.

     

     

    Greatly disheartened to see the amount of souls begging in the streets.

     

     

    Most of them are very recognisable to anyone who spends anytime there.

     

     

    The confinement to hotels and wherever has it seems not improved thier physical or mental states, as mostly they look worse than before.

     

     

    Not fair this place at all.

  13. High standards, which would have been unrecognisable as recently as Martin O’Neill’s time, have been set at Celtic in recent years. They have contributed to the club being the most prodigious collector of trophies in Scottish football history. Neil Lennon is the curator of those standards and he knows more than anyone the cost if he lets them slip.

     

     

    Leigh has a master’s degree in the science of ‘Prove them Wrong’. He has been written off and returned to the top more than anyone I can remember, whatever weaknesses he has, this determination to recover is a strength many overlook.

     

     

    If you think he’s finished, you’ve not been paying attention.

     

     

    ———

     

     

    Amazing rewriting of history and another jab at Martin O’Neill.

     

     

    When Rodgers arrived, he sought to improve professionalism and fitness to levels that had never been previously known at the club. Standards were on the floor, Scott Brown had come off the back of a chasing by Andy Halliday having been arguing with John Collins at Gleneagles over potatoes and been found lying on the Leith walk scoffing a chippy while half scooped. When Virgil went down south he was found wanting in his first game, pulling up with cramp. Deila openly said when he arrived the players were badly out of shape and had awful diets. He didn’t have the personality to shift the culture. Rodgers did.

     

     

    Rodgers set standards that would have been unrecognisable as far back as 2016. To be fair to the Board they have made it clear to Neil that these standards must now be upheld. For the record 2000-2005 was different footballing landscape.

     

     

    As for Leigh, Neil Lennon he was fit enough for Scottish football last season but nothing more. Has there ever been a more damning indictment of the Scottish game!

    If that is real then very revealing about the Huns mentality👍

  15. Don’t believe everything you read

     

     

    I thought Broony was eating a kebab

     

     

    Pretty sure it didn’t effect his performances on the park … but each to their own

     

     

    Our most natural goalscorer will (in my opinion) outscore his French striking partner & any other SPL striker in the league …

  16. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    Gene, a good wee player, indeed.

     

     

    All the better he’s called ‘Billy 😉’

     

     

    The best world beater to come out of Scotland since John McGinn.

  17. Another snippet from Fergus McCann v David Murray by Stephen O Donnell to be published next week that is should have been a warning to Scottish football.

     

     

    It was Souness, in fact, who originally brought Murray, his friend and fellow Tory ideologue, to the table with Rangers and brokered the agreement with Marlborough, after the industrialist, in May 1988, had failed in his attempted takeover of home town club Ayr United, whose directors had judged Murray to be too hot headed, and a ‘most volatile’ and ‘very unpredictable’ individual.

     

     

    Despite being offered almost four times what their shares were then worth, when they dug down into the detail of his bid, the seven-man board of the Somerset Park club had come to the conclusion that Murray was trying to gain control of the business on the cheap, in effect for a mere £125,000 of his own money. Led by chairman George Smith, a local farmer, and majority shareholder Sandy Loudon, a Girvan accountant, the board subsequently declined his offer, claiming that the prospective purchaser was looking for ‘too much, too soon and at too little a price’, a rejection that left Murray incandescent.

    Wee Kieran is doing amazing .. time is a great healer (still gutted he had to leave) but over the moon and now sort of supporting the Gunners (when KT is playing :-)

  19. fairhill bhoy on

    Gftb-KT is doing what we knew he would to be fair.Dont like Arsenal or any London team.

     

    Always Liverpool for me.YNWA 😉

  20. FB 10.10pm

     

     

    As a youngster going into teenage years I was a big Everton fan .. Southall, Radcliffe, Mountfield, Reid, Sheedy & co never liked Liverpool due to 1977 when they stole Kenny Dal :-)

     

     

    As soon as Sir EBT Walter took charge I quickly lost interest … :-)

  21. When English teams sign (steal?) Celtic players, the last thing I do is become a pseudo supporter of their team.

  22. fairhill bhoy on

    Gftb-I lived in Birkenhead during that Everton team,brilliant team it was .But my mums husband was a Liverpool fan,brought up in Rock Ferry.So my English team was sorted.And I’m glad it is given our association with them through the years.

     

    Bedtime

  23. FB 10.29pm

     

     

    I quite like a lot of English teams and sometimes don’t care who wins (it’s a different sport from Celtic :-) back in the late 80s (we were both born in 1970) I had 3 walls plastered with Celtic stuff and a massive tricolour from Lou Macaris testimonial but the other wall was full of Everton stuff … even Gary & Trevor before they sold their souls to Govan :-)

  24. prestonpans bhoys on

    Itv news says covid increase in Lanarkshire, Lanarkshire is between Glesga and Edinburgh, Lanarkshire has moved😕😱😵

  25. fairhill bhoy on

    Gftb-you’re different from me then.The first Celtic game I remember is the Danny deflection.After that I was away to Birkenhead with my mum,sister and soon to be stepdad.If it was up to my mum I would definitely be a Hun today.Thankfully all I had was Liverpool before I came back up the road to stay with my dad when I was still wet behind the ears 🍀😉

     

    Definitely bedtime this time

  26. FB 10.53pm

     

     

    Am aff the morra so if your reading this in the morning ma first game circa 1977 was SSW Innsbruck … actually attended the 1980 Danny McGrain / George McCluskey winner in extra time in a car of 3 Rangers fans and me & one other Celtic fan … my mother only let me go as the driver (Rangers fan) was a family friend … the other Celtic fan in the car was / is related to Lennybhoy from this place … Plains/Whifflet :-)

  27. I don’t really have a second team but love watching football, like Liverpool as my Uncle was a fan but don’t get bothered with their results.

     

     

    I do like Real Madrid (tin hat on) having met Emilio Butragueno, who was giving Liam Brady a tour of the stadium, Liam Brady thought I was from Newcastle no wonder he was a disaster of a manager for us

  28. Camusbhoy 11.13pm

     

     

    I enjoy watching many football teams but Celtic is like a different sport

     

     

    Funnily enough I have never liked Barcelona … but always loved Real Madrid … the full white strip was magic Juanito, Laurie Cunninghame & co
