The goal Livingston scored to defeat Celtic in September was their solitary strike in a run of six games. Since then, form has bounced, they won 0-3 at St Johnstone, 2-3 at Ross County and drew 1-1 at home to Dundee United. Notwithstanding that, I expect a backlash from Celtic tomorrow that goes someway to resolving the awful performance we put in at the Plastic Pasta Pitch.
Not so long ago, the persistent rain that has fallen on Scotland this week, would turn pitches into quagmires, unfit for precision passing. By contrast, a soaking Easter Road on Wednesday could hardly be more accommodating to Celtic’s fast passing style. Celtic Park should be equally accommodating tomorrow.
Although Tom Rogic was instrumental to the best of our performance against Hibs, there is no reason to risk his hamstring so soon. Resting him for the trip to Hungary and then to Dens Park next weekend, would be enough to keep him from globetrotting with Australia during the subsequent international break.
We return from that break to a League Cup semi-final and a relentless run of fixtures ahead of the winter break. A bit of squad management with Tom right now makes sense.

Think you are way off the mark there.
So, the only reason Celtic supporters are criticising this guy for his inaccurate comments about “Rangers” is because he was a Labour politician?
I reckon you are being very disrespectful to the vast majority of critics on here who are having their say due to his lickspittle attitude towards the dead team and not due to any political allegiance he has.
###
That’s bullshit and you know it. The cult have been attacking Brian Wilson and demanding he be replaced for ages. They hate him because he tells the truth about them.
Pity he didn’t tell the truth about the Rangers then.
ERNIE LYNCH on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:07 PM
So you think Wilson has covered himself in glory over the last few years regarding Celtic then?
Bernie higgins.deary me!!.
ERNIE LYNCH on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:07 PM
Personally, I could not give a flying **** what political party he has represented, how he votes or what colour his socks are. All I know is that he is a liquidation denier and talks up the team from Govan when given half a chance. He and the likes of him should be nowhere near our club.
Delighted to see Rogic been given the respect he deserves
Grinded my gears with the comments of some who just didn’t get what he brought to the team
People not seeing the wood for the trees……
When the subject of the Celtic board/Police Scotland come up in discussion it is preferable to listen to those who fought on the front line, who attended the rallies, went to the meetings, funded the legal defence for those who found themselves in front of the courts
They just couldn’t… could they ?

I am sure the likes of Messrs Juranovic, Starfelt and Kyogo will struggle to cope for the first 30 minutes tomorrow without their weekly lecture in Irish Republicanism ……
Agreed Paul67
Although he’s been our best player recently, which is a testament to Ange’s man-management and coaching skills, we’re getting to the stage where we have enough match-winners in the team to be able to give him a break. Keep him off three very long flights and fit for a busy 6 weeks before he puts us top against the horribles. Or maybe even extends our lead.
Assuming of course that’s what he wants.

The answering of a question seems to be a stranger to you ERNIE! :))) por cierto
I don’t think remaining silent for the 1st 30mins is the way to the question Higgins appointment. It will punish the team, not a very endearing thing to do. I don’t think many in the stadium will follow this, apart from the organised groups within the crowd.
I would like to come up with another suggestion, but I don’t have one, por cierto.
Hello again all you young rebels.
Brian Wilson eh? seems to be the topic of the day.
Think he made an arse of his attempt at decency to the deceased.
But I remember him from way back in the day when I was a shop
steward on the building of the paper mill at Irvine, and the company
we’re bringing in foreign labour from Finland I believe, to construct
Steelwork to the detriment of many unemployed steel erectors at
that time, and he was the only politician who showed face to support
us.
I’ll cut him some slack at the moment 🧐

It’s a wonderful opportunity for the ‘songs from the staffroom’ cohort to make themselves heard.
ERNIE LYNCH on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:20 PM
Still waiting. for an answer.
Are you a politician?
MELBOURNE MICK on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:30 PM
As a politician, Brian Wilson showed a lot of socialist concerns for working-class people and communities. Lots of other politicians and trade union representatives did the same, but, they then would proceed to take a seat in the House of Lords, Brian took his seat in the Boardroom instead though! :)) por cierto

A bit early to be on the SD, what a bizarre post
I notice messers Juranovic, Starfelt, and Kyogo loving the recent end game party with those who love a rebel song, what do you think ? you seem to be a spokesman for them
POR CIERTO on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:33 PM
I am in no way seeking to undermine his achievements in his political career. Just from a Celtic point of view he has done very little to endear himself to the support.
MELBOURNE MICK on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:30 PM
As above.

Just maybe these great socialists felt it was better to join
the glitterati and educate them from within than stand outside
and throw rotten eggs.

If big Tam is out through injury. Does anyone think Mccarthy if fit can play dm and Callun in big Tams pos…… Any thoughts.
I think,unfortunately,the Green Brigade silence decision will back fire .
When/if Celtic score the noise will be deafening therefore defeating the purpose of the protest .
I support the reason but not the action.
Make the biggest banner possible to highlight this disgusting decision and include Wilson in it HH
Hope Tom Rogic gets all rest recuperation time he needs, brilliant as he has been, we know his fragilities. So don’t play him not fit and don’t over play him.
Having said that, if he is fit he should play for his national side – Australia need him.
Tom loves playing for Australia and Ange wouldn’t deliberately hinder their chances of a World Cup.
The mind set that thinks up these strategies is also the mind set that meant we lost McGinn and soured our relationship with countess players including Lustig.
We should just start doing the right thing, after all we’re the first to call others out as cheats.
Seen a Warren Buffet quote recently that I liked…
“… honesty is an expensive gift, do not expect it from cheap people”,
As we start playing football the Glasgow Celtic way, off the pitch we need to find our class again…

ONIL,
Brian Wilson has written best selling Celtic books. If you have read any of his Celtic books you will see he is extremely knowledgeable and supportive of Celtic since 1887.
Please give examples of where he has done very little to endear himself to the Celtic support.
Genuinely interested and curious.
HH.
MARSPAPA on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:46 PM
If he’s fit then it seems a logical way of doing things, but, is he 100% fit? I doubt it. Something isn’t right with him, por cierto
I think,unfortunately,the Green Brigade silence decision will back fire .

if it shuts their drum up for a few minutes them im all for it
i was right beside it on wednesday
honestly man
just pointless noise
adds nothing to the atmosphere and drowns out the singing
GREENPINATA on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 12:50 PM
I am well aware of the books he has written.
Examples?
Last year he wanted, during a pandemic, to allow Ibrox to open to allow the hordes to celebrate their historic league win.
Yesterday’s comment that denied the liquidation of Rangers.
I am sure there are a few more….

The whole profile of Celtic has been turned round again here in Oz.
More news time, goals shown , and the quality of big handsome Tom
getting the Ozzies really exited for their national aspirations.
I know it’s a long journey but me and our bhoys live for them coming
back to a country that adores them.
And all because of big honest Ange.

Has Brian Wilson been on the board since 1887… longevity.csc

That’s how I would see it, of course they would have to have seen a huge improvement in McCarthy in training – couldn’t believe how bad he was at Livingston.
