Tom Rogic is good. Very good. He has scored cup winning goals, league winning goals, scored against Newco at three different venues, and most deliciously, has scored Champions League qualification goals. That old football adage, “Yes, but can he do it when it really matters?”, is never asked about Tom.
With one year left on his existing Celtic contract, he is off with Australia to the World Cup, the most prominent shop window in the game, where good players with a one-year balance on their contracts are a premium.
The news that he signed a five-year contract yesterday has surprised many, including me. One week ago today, when I asked a ‘senior source at Celtic’ the prospects or retaining his services, I was not encouraged. “The money on offer in England……..”
This deal is an endorsement of the direction the club is heading from within the dressing room. Players know where the club is going, Tom knows. That’s why he has signed. I am sure his contract reflects his ability, but I am also sure he could have earned more elsewhere. And five years!! That’s nearly a Jim McLean!
Good luck tomorrow, Tom, let’s have a repeat of last season’s Cup Final.

It wasn’t a stab at KEVJ. I said we were done up like a kipper by Mark McGhee. Now,bearing in mind that he is a fond favourite of Kev,I’d have thought that it was obviously a compliment to each of them.
That’s certainly how it was intended,and tbh that’s how it reads too. But you and him and anyone else can read into it whatever you like.

Tommy Greaveson was a guid player as well.
Then, wee Gordon Strachan signed TG.
Join the dots……CSC
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 18TH MAY 2018 9:20 PM
13,,,In 2005 we paid Brighton a reported 1.5 million for ,,, ?
Aye,Adam Virgo. Done up like a kipper by Mark McGhee-last bit for KEVJ.
———-
How is that not a stab at Kev? You realise you actually used his name.
Roy C – you missed the point, I love your stuff, was merely asking for a delay.
Dallas, whit ye like? Loved that pic of Bobby Murdoch during the week…..feckin gallus!
I would suggest that as a player and manager Gordon Strachan proved to be far superior than snark McGhee.
Mark McGhee wisnae even the best player in his family!

Tried to build an atmosphere before the final-never mind.
A reprimand on a Celtic blog-pompous and I’ll miss the rest out.
C’mon the Hoops, enjoy tomorrow.

Did ye keep that under halo up on the altar at the Tommy Burns mass ?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Roy C Good stuff tonight mate. Keep on keeping on. Hh

Zzzzzzzzzzz
KEVJ that was an opinion. Not a dig. You are entitled to yours as I’m entitled to mine.
You, however, are making it personal and having a dig at me. Why is that?
KTF
Bed time.
Early flight tomorrow morning
Enjoy the game lads

Oh,ffs. Of course I realise that I “actually used his name”
Like you used mine,ya choob.
Listen,stop having a pop at me,stop trying to find fault,stop backing someone up on the premise of my enemy’s enemy is my friend.
Grow up,the pair of you,and read what I said.
Roy Croppie, your stuff is a highlight of any Friday night on the blog, keep it going, your pics take my family back to good times and not-so-good times but they always stimulate debate and memories. And what can be better than chat among family and friends, eh?
Apart from humping Murderwell by four goals on Saturday ?
On the Tarmac in Toronto, Hope to see a few of you CQN’rs over the next couple of weeks.
I think it’s the pub for me tomorrow though.
Wits Will be in the Vogue Bar pre match. Hh

Roy C – Whit ye takin’ offense at?
Being asked to be polite/sensitive?
I was only highlighting that someone had taken time to do a quiz?
Was asking for respect, if you can’t do that, fair enough!
Mahe
Great quiz, sorry I missed it. Could’ve won but BMCUWP was in fine form.
So, what’s the American, on the ground, view of the Israel/Palestine situation? Because from where I’m sitting it’s a feckin atrocity.
Also, great signing of Tom Rogic. Hail Hail and here’s to a double treble tomorrow.
Watching Rod on BBC 4…..expect to see him at the game tomorrow?
Today

My favorite cup final.
1969 4-0
Davie White was full of confidence. We had Yogi and Jinky unavailable.
I believe this was where this Bertie story originated.
In the tunnel before the game
“Bertie, what kind of bonus are you on for winning.”
“£3 John.”
“Ha. We’re on a fiver.”
“Aye but we’re guaranteed ours.”
Watch out for Sir Alex, Huns doing walking away and don’t blink or you will miss George Connoly’s goal just before half time.
