Good afternoon, champions! If you enjoy your history……….
Yesterday, Celtic retained the league title, which has been a rare achievement for much of our history. We won six in a row during the first decade of the 20th century, then won four in a row (1914-17) during the Great War, but it would be another 50 years before Celtic retained the league title, on 6th May 1967.
Jock Stein re-wrote all the rules during his nine in a row era but after that ended in 1974, Billy McNeill retained the tile in 1982 and it would be another 20 years before Martin O’Neill retained it, the only time he did so.
Gordon Strachan then set about writing his own chapter in our history, retaining the league in 2007 and 2008, while becoming only the third manager in our history, after Willie Maley and Stein, to win three in a row (history awaits you, Neil).
Neil Lennon now joins a select band of Celtic managers, Maley, Stein, McNeill, O’Neill and Strachan, who have retained the league title.
In total Celtic have retained the league title 22 times but yesterday was only the fourth time since nine in a row. It was the sixth time in total we have won two in a row.
Remarkably, of the 13 times Celtic have retained the league since 1919, this is only the third time it has been achieved at Celtic Park, the other occasions being when we beat St Mirren in 1982 (remember unwelcome half time news from Pittodrie over the PA?), and Livingston, to win the 2002 title. Lazy journalism prevents me from confirming which of the pre-1920 titles were won at Celtic Park.
This is your history, I hope you enjoy the memories as much as I do.
The Andrea Kearney Fund, which supports women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy, is holding its annual dinner at the Radisson Hotel in Glasgow on Saturday 1 June. The event is excellent value with a cracking line up of entertainment, including Ricky Ross, Michelle McManus and Lou Hickey. The fight against this disease goes on….
You can book a table here. Look forward to seeing you at the dinner.
Enjoying the incredulous Sevco 5088 events, more on that later.
Service notice:
Still some work planned on the mobile site.

Bang on. £246 includes blood tests, descaling and polish for existing teeth plus anti-biotics. We are all in the wrong trade. He goes in tomorrow morning and worried because he is 12 yrs old and never been off the farm since he arrived.

If anybody tries to push the “you miss Rangers really though don’t you” line I’ll just say that a league win when it’s been a challenge is always sweeter and apart from 2008 when it went to the last day of season, this has been the most challenging since Martin O’Neill took over.

Our Greek Ghod is not for leaving paradise

Greek striker Georgios Samaras has insisted that he has no intention of leaving Celtic in the summer.
Recent reports have suggested that after almost six years in Scotland, the 28-year-old may look for a new challenge at the end of the current campaign.
However, Samaras has revealed that he is more than happy to continue his career with Celtic because he plays football to win trophies rather than earn more money elsewhere.
“I play football because I love it. I want to have great memories when I have retired. These memories are about winning games and trophies, not the money. I love this club. I have been here six years and I feel that I have more to give,” he said.

Evening
Just been catching up, I have to say I found the “Hobbits from the Emerald Isle” comment as offensive as any I have read on here the 6 years I’ve been on here.
SFTB…
Don’t lower yourself…
Weefra,
If you type ” cut and paste on i pad” into the search box, top right on your screen, you should get a wee video.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MS7Ix8MxwBc
For anyone interested this is a link to Benfica goal v Sporting at weekend
The commentator seems to have enjoyed it.
Great news about wee Oscar :D
SFTB, last night I advised you to scroll on by.
It is still valid advice, however, The Comfortable Collective makes a very good point.
That mindset should be challenged, well done sir.
RRC
Doubtless the “hobbits” comparison will make its way to FF or RM
It will not look out of place there,like so much of their nonsense.
Doc
Thanks for your message mate.
Kojo
Wat you are hoping for??
It\’s already happened
And it did not turn me into a bigot then.
The seed for that bigotry needs to come from elsewhere. Where did yours spring from? Who taught you that one religion was bad because some of its adherents were murderers?
But you ignore the Crusaders? Cortez? The Pacifist Protestant sects that developed the Manifest Destiny excuse for genocide? The Bhuddists in Burma? The Tea Party fellow travelers in Waco and Oslo? The disaffected white youth of Columbine and Sandy Hook? Genghis Khan’s Mongol Hordes? The Japanese in China? Stalin in Russia? Mao in the 60s?
Islamic Fundamentalism is Eastasia, Communism was Eurasia and you represent Oceania (obviously from the Airdrie quartier of Oceania). The Perpetual War is necessary because guns make prizes and we might not make them any more if there is no bogey man to scare you.
So which branch are you? The scared or the cynic selling the weapons?
So pleased to hear oor wean wee Oscar given fantastic news.
Hope for another good result for oor other wean Blantyretim,best of
Luck mhate.HH
