McGregor and managing form of young players

913

If you’ve not been following the work being done in your name in Malawi this week, do so here.  20 people arrived from Scotland early this week on behalf of the Celtic Foundation to renovate six centres which feed children ages five and under.  They are also building a latrine (pretty sure this is a toilet) at one of the centres.

It’s another remarkable testament to the ethos of Celtic 127 years after the project started.

The Foundation are in Malawi with Mary’s Meals, the remarkable Scottish charity which is feeding hundreds of thousands of the world’s poorest children each day.  By careful management of costs, utilisation of volunteers and ‘vocational’ staff, a remarkably high 93% of their revenue reaches those in need on the ground.

Really good to read Callum McGregor speaking to Celtic media.  Not that he had anything particularly illuminating to say, but he was speaking after putting in a training session, confirming his return to fitness.

With the injury to James Forrest, Callum was one of the few bright lights in our early season form, opening the scoring in three consecutive European away games.  He even shone in the inept Murryfield performance against Legia.

At the Hearts game last month I overheard someone suggest Callum needed a rest.  His form had definitely dipped, which is not uncommon after young players sparkly when first breaking into the team.  If he stayed fit there’s little chance he would have been rested for any of the recent games, such has been the form of those around him, so maybe his recent illness came at the right time.

  1. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    WHATISTHESTARS

     

     

    Brilliant,but I hope he doesn’t get any of our strikers to do the shooting.

  2. Heard some of Radio Clyde’s phone in last night. The mischief of the dude who’s name i can never remember but apparetnly played for the old rangers and man city was unbelievable, masked by ‘only my opinion..’s, ‘I’m not saying…but’s, I’m not calling for…but’s.

     

     

    Not listening to anymore Ronny doubters who are lapping this stuff up. It’s Celtic against the rest as it always was.

     

     

    Remember “Dr Who”, the abuse Wim received, Larsson was a dud after one pass, Moravcik a cheap option, lenny getting vilified and hounded by them at every turn, wanyama unproven till he left and became the greatest midfielder of the modern generation, forster doesn’t command his box ‘enough for me’ despite setting a clean sheet records at three different clubs, now it’s Ronnie’s turn.

     

     

    Get it right up them Ronnie

  3. Surely a turnout of 36.02% in one of those constituencys last night must void that by-election. Democracy in action

     

     

    Safe to assume 63.98% of the electorate felt ‘None of the above’ was their preferred choice

  4. What is the Stars on

    KDC

     

     

    The problem is simply

     

     

    Ronny is not up to it

     

     

    Stop making silly excuses,stop the old “we have to support the manager”

     

    He is no good and will drag us into the abyss of mid table mediocrity

     

     

    Forget the anti celtic media slant

     

    Judge him on the evidence

     

    The man is not capable

    away and ‘follow’ a team worthy of you

  6. What is the Stars on

    KDC

     

    Why so intolerant

     

     

    Do you honestly believe Ronny is a good manager

     

    The man is hopeless

    KDC

     

     

    The problem is simply

     

     

     

    No it’s not. I’m not a knee-jerk reactionary willig to make that judgement in the first weeks of October.

     

     

    No interested pal

  8. I voted UKIP in the European Elections. Am I a racist or a xenophobe?

     

     

    Beam me up Scotty!!!!

     

     

    The self servers in the MainStreamParties are controlled by Corporates, Madrid Fascists.

     

     

    Who controls them is the real NME, the Overt i.e externalisation of the Occult practices now that Christian society is being eroded, is easy to see if you have eyes to see.

     

     

    Sickening Vampire.

  9. What is the Stars on

    KDC

     

     

    Fair enough

     

    My opinion has nothing to do with knee jerk

     

    But tell me this at what stage will you start to wonder if Ronny is no the messiah and is in fact a very naughty boy.

     

    November ?

     

    January ?

     

    End of the season when we are trophyless and have failed to qualify for any European Compettion

     

    At that stage would you begin to wonder ??

     

    or would you give him another season

  10. Well said KDC…….some clowns would have been shouting for Jock Stein’s resignation after we lost 2-6 to Falkirk shortly after he took over.

     

     

    Seem to recall Hartson went about 20 games before scoring his first goal….so why the outcry with Scepovic.

     

     

    I’m sure if we dig back these same experts wanted Niemi instead of the cheap option Boruc and countless other mistakes they simply ignore while spouting their wisdom.

  11. EC67 –

     

     

    A perfect opportunity right enough. If I remember right, he wasn’t out of contract. So he only HAD to move because where he was then ceased to be. He simply then chose Everton instead of moving to Newco.

     

     

    Did that happen during the latter part of season 11/12 or did he wait until the season end?

    Not a troll old boy just a very concerned fan.

    Your post is completely out of order and should be removed immediately.

     

     

    Celtic supporters were all shocked when Neil Lennon, Niall McGinn and Paddy McCourt received bullets in the post. Then there was the shocking image circulated of Neil Lennon with bullet holes riddling his body.

     

     

    Now you are advocating shooting another Ceptic employee, Mr Lawwell. If you are trying to be humourous, then it is a sick and feeble attempt at humour. If you are serious then you should be locked up.

     

     

    This blog could do without immature minds posting such rubbish. Man up! Apologise for your stupidity! Ask for your post to be removed!

    This is the direction of travel that ENGLAND is taking the rest of the UK towards.

     

     

    They don’t even know why they are voting for them or what any policies are.

     

     

    UKIP are going to have a huge hand next year in the eventual leaders and they are going to vote tactically to keep Miliband out of as many seats as possible in England and keep him out of no 10.

     

     

    Scotland can return their entire 8% of Pariament as Labour, it is not going to matter.

     

     

    With only a newly elected MP to show and massive BBC free advertising brainwashing people in England and sadly some in Scotland (although 140k total in Scotland unlike the larger numbers they attract in England) they have been setting the agenda for months if not for years.

     

     

    I feel ill at the thought of the likes of Farage having any power in the UK but it looks increasingly more likely and to think that people like me who said this for two years were derided as scaremongering.

     

     

    Well this just got real and if Labour get a majority of just over 600 in what was once a safe seat for them the writing is on the wall.

     

     

    It will be a Tory / UKIP coalition chosen for you by England’s electorate. 55% of Scots deserve it and they cannot complain.

     

     

    This is what they wanted to be a part of – they need to suck it up from here on in.

    Trouble is that I have got a real life. You on the other hand are pond-life with approximately the same intelligence and ethics. Go back to Follow Follow with your fellow travellers.

  20. bournesouprecipe on

    Call me cynical, bit is isn’t it odd to think that Mikel Lustig was home and fit in Sweden, to sit on the bench for his country but hasn’t been mentioned for a Celtic squad in weeks, and I may add, not one medical update, since his latest Celtic injury.

     

     

    I’ve been reading ‘the our best defender stuff’ for months, and how he even gets better the longer he’s injured.

     

     

    Look forward to seeing him at Ross County.

    Crazy response

    You see he understands

     

     

    Now I have to go to lunch,

     

     

    Do you think Ronny is a capable manager by the way

    Hope so, think he would be a great laugh, some of the stuff he posts on here is comedy gold.

    FourGreenFields @ from last night

     

     

    I haven’t accepted it, I know what happened so do we all, and the irony is, so do they.

     

     

    That’s what causes the violence, the ‘peepil’

     

    can never be the same again, no matter how hard they try.

     

     

    They cannot alter the course of history.

     

     

    What present day Celtic custodians consider say or don’t say can’t alter, or make Rangers more dead, than dead.

    Who is this Forrest people keep including in favoured selections.

     

     

    Face it he is not stable enough to be part of any forward plan.
