There are limits to how far we can recruit from our domestic market and continue to prosper. Martin O’Neill preferred to sign players his teams had faced, which meant Hibs and St Johnstone being plundered, eventually leading to decline. Gordon Strachan enjoyed watching Hibs all his life; it showed in his Celtic signings.
Rumour has it when Jock Stein signed Willie Wallace from Hearts in 1966 his timing was determined by the need to deny a rival Wallace’ signature. Neil Lennon should find it easy to compete with the likes of Derby County, if he is motivated to do so.
Enjoy the fantastic clips of Willie Wallace below from the 1960s. You’ll have seen many before but the clip of him beating three Celtic defenders before scoring was new to me. It might have been the goal which convinced Jock to move.

If tony stokes doesn’t resign for Celtic I hope he teams up with his old countryman Jon Daly at sevco. They could make a smoking upfront partnership for the sevies and provide years of angst for the nazi minded over at the pit of doom.
Synchronised blessing after a combined effort goal could see ibrox empty faster than mordor at he end of the Tolkien saga.

Pedrocaravnachio67 HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPY Birthday:))
TET, I believe our first CL qualifier is on one of the dates I posted. We’re playing on the 13th at HDA. Its You + Me versus the real sclaffbawers.

Oh aye and we had 2 of our youth players who had leanings toward them in the stand that night, when one of them cheered an early move fae us the other said “your no supporting them are you”. To which the other replied “we play for them now”.

These Charlotte tapes are unreal I hope someone is recording these before they get pulled.

Wow! Just F****** Wow D&P: if bid fails it’s a call to Sturgeon or Salmond. Why the feck would expiry of biz that ripped taxman concern them
Corruption out in the open now for all to see @ScottishFA and @splofficial
both organisations are a disgrace.
Just listening to the tapes.
I suppose the smsm will be all over them in the morning……………..
The tapes are very interesting.
It would appear to me, that when Rangers went down the plughole, Mr Salmond’s instruction was that they were to be saved no matter what. Civil unrest and all that. Oh dear.
BRTH, got my book today. Should I cover it in tacky wallpaper to protect it like they made us do with the auld school books? BTW I had to borrow the tacky wallpaper from next door cos we had right good quality stuff in johnstone……………….so we did:-)
Have you ever heard of an old Scottish athlete called Andy Dougan (not sure of surname spelling)? I was at a school awards night tonight and Andy was presenting an award. he’s a very interesting character, ninety five years old now and ran for Britain in the Olympics maybe in berlin or the one before. He joined the army and ended up as a POW on the Burma railway.
I heard his story 15 years ago as he’s a member of Carnoustie GC. The thing is, I thought he died years ago, oops.
Tonight I learned that he was still alive and his life story is now in print in a book called “Tomorrow we die”.
That will be my second holiday read after Heart of a Lion. Andy’s story is nothing short of remarkable and his athleticism saved his life and those around him from the hell of Japanese torture in the jungle of Burma.
If you get a chance check out his story.
Hail Hail Andy Dougan

TET, I’ll mail you nearer the time with our tee time and I’ll leave the wine selection to you. Six reds and six whites of your selection at say 10 euros max per bottle. I’m sure I can barter some sausages and stornaway black pudding. C’mon we’re both gentlemen, and we’re on the same team as well.
Any chance you can break a finger to handicap your SIL? I’ve no problem wi drugging the wonderkid. Lets adopt a hun “win at all cost even if we need to cheat and beat” attitude.
Or, we can have a laugh and take it like men, the right way, the Tim way.
Sleep well bro.

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I’m miserable now
In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don’t care if I live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I’m miserable now
In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don’t care if I live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed
“You’ve been in the house too long” she said And I (naturally) fled
In my life Why do I smile At people who I’d much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I’m miserable now
“You’ve been in the house too long” she said And I (naturally) fled
In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don’t care if I live or die ?
