It seems incredible that it has been over 20 years since Martin O’Neill left his job as Celtic manager following his wife’s illness. In his five years here, he transformed the club and gave a new generation some of their greatest nights as Celtic fans. He changed history.
Before Martin, Celtic were second favourites, or worse, for over a decade. Since shortly after his arrival in 2000, we have been perpetual favourites, winning more than any other club in world football. His eloquence and enthusiasm inspired much of what you know and love about the club today.
Regrettably, I will not make the game tonight to see the man in person. Does he still jump at a goal? Football has changed a lot since the time his legend was respected across the Continent, but as the many who have heard him speak over recent years will confirm, his love of the club remains. He will be a sight to behold trackside in a Celtic jacket.
Falkirk started the month getting the point that was enough to see Russell Martin ejected out of Ibrox. This was followed by coming from behind to win at Motherwell, one of only two defeats the Lanarkshire side have experienced this season, before again coming from behind on Saturday to beat Dundee. They are a team who battle ‘til the end.
Celtic caught them cold on League Cup duty in August, winning 4-1. That game was easier than expected, indeed, it was easier than the same game a year earlier, when Falkirk were newly promoted to the Championship. I expect a tougher game tonight.

Hunskelper Nicky Hayen apparently in the frame according to Belgian press. Now that would be a genuine effort to appoint a talented coach.
Is KT injured?

the awkward moment should be someone from the PLC explain why we have went from that starting 11 (eleven) to tonights.
Looks like the CelticTV team has also been P45’d :) No prematch program
let’s all do the huddle – may I continue to confound you 😂
From Belgian media which makes it interesting to me at least:

That awkward moment when you forget the hour time shift (again)

Clarity is what’s needed.
If we were accumulating money for a specific reason I would be fine with that. For example stadium expansion. We would obviously generate more cash through the gate and this is our best source of income.
