I was at the Celtic FC Foundation Dinner last week and guest Charlie Mulgrew was asked about the best he had played with at Celtic. He mentioned Virgil van Djik and Victor Wanyama as greats but told us the best was Scott Brown. “Even when we were playing fives or sevens, his team almost always won.” When you hear comments like this, you pay attention.
Scott retired yesterday after winning 23 major trophies, a joint record in British football held with Billy McNeill, 22 of Scott’s won at Celtic, his first at Hibernian. He was adored by his managers as much for his attitude as his ability. Leading by example, there would be no hiding in a Celtic shirt with Scott on the field, no unnecessary lingering on the treatment table. As captain since 2010, he was the first line of enforcement of rules and standards.
This season was spent as player and assistant to Stephen Glass at Aberdeen, a venture that did not work out, although a goal at Ibrox, a venue he previously endured abuse and assault at, could yet prove to be a vital contribution in the title race. He left a day after his former mentor, Neil Lennon, accepted a managerial job in Cyprus. Hmmm.
In person, he could not have been more different than the bulldog he resembled on the pitch; he is intelligent and relaxed. You know the stats, there is no correlation between playing and managing ability, so let’s not burden Scott with any expectations. Hope to see him back soon at Celtic Park.

BIG WAVY @ 2:02
No more hires based on seniment over fit with the club’s footballing philosophy for me.
——
Agree that sometimes sentiment can be a poor marker when recruiting, but what about a proven winner and motivator who achieved all his record-breaking success at Celtic? Surely that must count for something?
————-
Agreed, he has been a great servant to the club, and one of the biggest winners we have had at the club in recent years
No-one is asking for a 1st team position
There should and will always be room at our clubs for winners like Scott

You keep on here about the gullibility of Celtic fans and those who do not support your anti-immigrant, God loves the white man schtick,, whilst at the same time you fall for every bit of culpably stupid false rumour that Russian bots can provide on Facebook. And it is quite obvious through the comment sections of your links, how these have emerged from the far right by the number of prominent Union Flags and pro-Rangers posters on the links you give. So much for the unreconstructed Jungle Rebel schtick.
Two of your persona the other night re-circulated a daft rumour about a dead CNN reporter that was instantly disproved, but yet you show no apology or loss of confidence in your own certainty on these matters.
Today, you circulate a video purporting to be about Ukrainians feigning being dead. Two seconds on the internet shows this to be a staged protest about climate change and involves no Ukrainians living or dead.
You have no interest in promoting truth. You are only interested in sowing doubt or persuading the gullible. You don’t research; you just assert. You don’t apologise for getting things spectacularly wrong; you just double down with another spectacularly stupid and easily disproven assertion. It’s the playbook of Trump/Cummings?Johnson and Putin- aim at their hearts not their heads because we don’t have the actual facts to convince.
Now, as a professional daftie, you might think there is nothing wrong in trolling or winding up fellow Celts. Having spent so much time with your Sevco pals on those sites, you use the same weak responses when caught out- “You’re obsessed”, “I’m in your head”, “I got you wound up!, didn’t I?”
It’s the retort of the primary playground.
Now, these things are not harmless; they have consequences. They get rednecks heading up to Washington with weapons more intelligent than their IQ, to shoot up a Pizzeria. Or you get the parents of dead children , trolled and attacked in the streets because some cocaine fuelled anti-semite asserted they were all fake actors in a staged fake school shooting.
And on a Celtic site, it matters to me. I have called black burning shame on you too many times but you are shameless. You belong with your pals on FF and in the SDL; you should have no traction on a site started by the sons of immigrants.

So Kev is a lying dickhead? Whuda thunk it?
I’ll need to try to get my direct debits back from the covid/Climate change/Ukraine war deniers site.

Now that he has made an even bigger tit of himself than usual can we all go back to ignoring the troll please?
AT if you are about, would appreciate it if you had any spare tickets for RC game. Money and pints provided at your leisure. 👍
Well said SFTB.
Frustratingly, I fear it won’t deter him. This is what he craves. Attention.
Starve him of it. I scroll on by.

‘surely any discussion about the 6 counties leaving the Union would also be insulting because what applies to Scotland surely applies here too?’

No it doesn’t.
And it’s difficult for me to fathom the level of political ignorance, stupidity and naivety required to hold such a view.
No offence.

This is also a true story – Celtic fans blamed NFL for the 10 in a row collapse because these supporters don’t have the balls to sack the PLC who appointed NFL, and will probably do so again??
Could be a true story coming soon to an (( unexpected )) crisis anytime soon, remember the
Dominic McKay movie??
ROCK TREE BHOY on 9TH MARCH 2022 4:47 PM
Interesting development. Didn’t see that coming. Certainly at this stage a better move for all concerned than going to Celtic.

FORMER Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has offered Scott Brown a coaching opportunity at Leicester City.
—–
If this is true, I say well done to Brendan. He will know that in football, as in anything else, the value of having winners on your side. Of course it is a Sun journalist, so all the usual caveats must be applied.
Scott Brown, in my opinion, will not be lost to the game – his CV demands that he should be, at least,
taken seriously for future coaching & managerial opportunities. What happens after that we are not to know yet.
As our greatest captain, after big Billy, I would love to see a place for him at Celtic Park. I’m sure he would not want to ‘jump in’ right now as Ange’s initial project approaches the critical stage – but I would like to think that the door is always open.
Park the fake nooz

Yup Big D, t’was the same vid. Thanks for the original link – Mrs Emeraldbee commented on the positive demeanour of/from the trio in Oz towards Ange. (The only bit I didn’t like was the reference to the ‘Old Firm’ game in November but they were Ozzies so I can forgive them.)
Watching Betis vs Eintracht Frankfurt. Absolutely brilliant first goal for the Germans.

Tony, bless you for your efforts – that was a detailed take down, but as others have mentioned, I wonder if it was worth the effort. Personally I hadn’t read the drivel because I don’t, but it was interesting to read YOUR informative, considered and mannerly taking apart of the verbose crud.
Incidentally, it’s getting harder and harder to follow a decent thread on here – I think it was on P2 that I scrolled by 23 posters that I have no interest in reading – makes catching up easier, mind!

I’m still awaiting your feedback from those many names on the list until you do that then the jury remains out on your claims, loudly trumpeted claims from the usual empty vessels, now their whining about poor CNN who’s executive staff, probably all of them by now, are being sacked for child abuse claims, and some – so called – Celtic supporters are having a wake about them, doesn’t look good does it?? whining in sympathy about a disgusting sleazy fake news swamp! If someone died, may they rest in peace 🙏
Get me the feedback like the good Tim that you are, or I’ll block you. Thanks. 👍
