Back in October I wrote that Tom Rogic could be this season’s Player of the Year, or he could just as easily drift out of the team. Injury (hamstring, of course) soon interrupted his run of form but Tom was inspired at Hampden in December, when the League Cup was brought back into the fold. On this basis alone, Tom’s nomination for the Scottish Professional Footballers Association (SPFA) Player of the Year is worthwhile.
The Celtic story of this season is largely how we overturned a six-point deficit during the second half of the campaign. The team’s rise was helped enormously by a spectacular January transfer window, but without a few excellent performers in the first half of the season, current form would count for nought.
Kyogo changed everything. His goals, movement, respectful behaviour, the sheer joy he brought to Celtic cannot be overstated. He was the muse all others took inspiration from. Despite missing half the season, you could make a case that his impact outweighs all others.
Cameron Carter-Vickers did what we hoped Shane Duffy would do a year earlier. He controls his immediate vicinity with an assuredness that allows the entire team to relax and get on with their with their primary function. If not Player of the Year, he is a big part of the story.
The same goes for Joe Hart, who settled our 12 months goalkeeping problem and provides the same assuredness the team gets from Carter-Vickers. Neither Kyogo, Cameron nor Joe received a nomination.
Callum McGregor did and is likely to win the award. He has been a Celtic constant for eight years and a setter of world records for time served per season. He is one of the players who could easily slot into any of the great European sides.
Whatever your views on PotY, these are the nominations came from players who have competed in the league this season; there are no impartial fan or journalist eyes involved.

Does anyone know if the Cinemas were showing tonight’s game.

What could possibly go wrong there.

I am at a quandary as to the front line for this weekend .
On the one hand I think Kyogo has his mojo back and must play and on the other I am wondering if big GG will ruffle them up a bit more .
Will Ange be reluctant to play GG through the middle and forcing Kyogo wide left when it failed so miserably earlier on in the season with edward .
Also taking the work rate of Meada out may give tav pen a better chance to create for them .
One thing I am sure of is that there will be more ball boys than sevco fans to make sure they don’t have a second to catch their breath
FSTB
I’ve often thought they were on powder…………..
the rampagin’ and berserkin’ has to come from more than thur kulchur, shirley?
How’s Fat Charlie btw?

Eintracht 1-0 against West Ham in 60 seconds.
Suprisingly indifferent about this game. Still want to see Sevco get pumped. but Celtic winning the league is realy the only thing that matters this season.
Castagne just misses for Leicester vs Roma
not watched one of their games in the EL run for fear of jinxing it (copyright BRRB ) so off to watch tonight in the hope of changing their (mis)fortunes .
Not that I’m bitter or anything but I really do hope a VAR decision does for them in the semi’s
FSTB
Thats the huns setup on Sunday. 5bat the back , 4 in MF.
Negative that they accuse every team of.

My first Celtic game. Left from Coatbridge in a family friends Ford Cortina Mk2, I was sick as a pig all down the side of his car in about 15mins.
Plonked down at the font trackside, brilliant game.
My mum had given me some money, which was unusual as we had feck all. I went to buy a Jimmy Johnstone picture, not poster at the end of the game. The guy selling the pictures said that he had no Jinky pictures left, instead I got a picture (A4 size cardboard with print on top) of a young player, not sure what happened to him, I just wanted a souvenir, guy by the name of Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish.
Them’s the breaks I guess.

UEFA’s #SPFL solidarity payment next season will be £4.4m shared between any club in the Premiership this season but not in any European group stage next season, with three clubs looking guaranteed for Groups that means the remaining clubs will get £488k minimum & 628k maximum.
Sounds like the orcs are playing the death of football tactics .
Feyenoord 1-0 up on Marseille.
BRRB & Big Jimmy
Have to make my excuses for tomorrow- lots of work going on round the house just now- I’m on wallpapering duties now- but I have all of Sunday to myself if we win
Is that Leipzig singing 67 song ?
West Ham equalize.
