With the arrival of Dedryck Boyata, Jozo Simunovic and Erki Sviatchenko over the last 12 months, Charlie Mulgrew must have wondered if he would be offered a new contract which his current deal expires next month. Especially so considering how little football he’s played in recent years.
An incoming manager would be excused for looking at his squad and thinking Charlie was surplus to requirements, but, as we have touched on in recent weeks, the story of Celtic’s defence is more complicated.
Erik has been an unqualified success, but Jozo missed most of the season through injury, while Dedryck and Efe Ambrose suffered unfortunate (cough) spells of form. Charlie is a few years past his Player of the Year prime, but he’s a reliable consistent defender, who I’d have in the team before Efe or (Euros bound) Dedryck.
We have a bloated squad and need to move players on, but it’s no surprise Brendan Rodgers let Charlie know he wanted him to stay. He’s the right player to occupy third or fourth spot in the central defensive roster. We’ll wait and see if Jozo can grab second spot.

Has Jim Murphy praised the Scottish Cup final atmosphere yet?
JJHS
Cheers Jim.
In effect…it wisnae us that started it.
Duff journos try to inspire moral panic….and fail:)
Toddlers and Baby Chimps wi crayons, would give them serious competition.
The Ghosts of Brian Rix and Wee Ronnie Corbett will be flabbergasted:)
HH
The green man
Yes and James Traynor playing…Hodoor….
Cpt Beefheart.
Oh what an atmosphere, i love a party with a happy atmosphere
So let me take you there
And you and i’ll be dancing in the cool night air.

That new statement offers a tiny piece of backtracking in that they mention they will punish anyone guilty, but then reverts to the norm of ” but it wisnae oor fault”
Trying to appease two different parties at the same time.
Like most of those in blue who were there at the weekend, it just doesn’t wash.
From the link TD67 posted at 3:05
” Robertson knows the former Brentford boss’ stock is high after leading Rangers to the Ladbrokes Championship and Petrofac Training Cup during his first campaign in Glasgow.”
Wow! What a CV.
JJ
Efe, KC, AS, SB and the striker duds should find new clubs.
We need fresh input.
Would it be right to say that the Ladbrokes Championship and the Petrofac is actually a unique double?
Tim Malone
It would be accurate but it would not be `right`.
JJ
Tim Malone Will Tell
It’s certainly one that Celtic have never won………….
…………… Or ever will!
TAWT
Its poor isnt it.
Its like saying you were the under 11 hop, skip, and jump champion in 1927
Meaningless…but id still value that, over the Petrofac tragedy:)
HH
Perhaps Warbmeister is posted missing because his Magic Hat got crushed by those mean boys at Hampden, or maybe a petted lip because Falkirk boss Peter Houston has been named Championship Manager of the Season.
Expect salvo of bias claims and names named from King Jog-On and Jabba the Hun.
TGM
You had better hope the OBAFA does not add hop, skip and jump to sports covered by the Act.

Has there been any development in the rumour that some of the stewards at Hampden were transferred over to Govan when the TFOD2 scored their second goal?
Not sure if this issue has been confirmed?
And if it has been confirmed has it made it into the SMSM?
Finally the DR seems to be in the eye of a storm.
For once I am actually starting to feel sorry for the TFOD2.
PS and the Tartan Tories are under pressure for their handling of the post match street theatre and there is a concerted effort to pass the blame onto anyone who is not part of PS or the political establishment — everyone will be under the bus before PS or Nat establishment takes any blame.
This could get messy.
Finally how many column inches did the assault on the club player — from memory RW — “injured” in the 2002 Fir Park season end incursion?
The report I saw had MON downplaying the whole incident.
Seemed to a be a case of a boot, a bruise, a shaken player and that was it.
Not sure if anyone was ever charged over the event.
the last place you would expect to see a manager on the eve of a cup final is in a lay bye, in his car , shouting down his phone.
something not quite right there
Hunderbirds are Gone
Ugly hard man.lololol

i was told the story that the hampden car park was a battle zone on saturday, with zombies fighting with police.
eye witness account from a posh seats spectator.
Have the Huns revealed their new orange strip yet? Only a matter of time….
As the aftermath of Saturday rolls on to claims that some of THEMS deliberately obstructed police outside Hampden, one can only say ‘Thank Friar Tuck’ that it had nothing to do with us.
Even greater need for truly independent enquiry into everything pertaining to last Saturday’s Cup Final.
JJHS
That reformation statute of 1575 is still valid.
‘Thall shall no weer ra emerald green in the vicinity o’ the haloowed realm o’ ibroxiumscotia’
You can guess the penalty for transgression:)

I said same thing on Monday..
Let’s just stand on the sidelines and watch SFA, Huns, Police Scotland , Hibs and G4S rip each other apart.
There are no winners in this particular fight. It’s just a blood sport for the neutral observers..
Madmitch
Seriously. Your feeling sorry for TFOD2 because a wee corner of a flashlight finally being shone on them?
Hunbelievable!

Sounds like a rerun of Davie White’s ‘opening the stadium doors in 1969.
I take it you must be starting to think that THEY have suffered enough.
NEVER !

Quonno,
Totally agree, thank f@@k it had nothing to do with us. There will be repercussions, nothing surer. Neither of the two teams supporters exactly covered themselves in glory.
What does PS stand for ? Can’t see Mad Mitch playing the Play Station so it must be the boys in blue that don’t hail from Castle Greyskull.
