I don’t cling to sentiment when it comes to footballers on high wages, so when Scott Sinclair was unable to get into the first team I would happily have released him. We seldom see a player rediscover his form and goal touch as demonstrably as he has in recent months.
You may have noticed the way Scott coached Timo Weah during Saturday’s game against Hamilton. He is thriving on the responsibility and the confidence it instils. Playing the wings is a hard shift. You hear more ‘feedback’ from the crowd there than from other areas of the field. I know some of our very best wingers in recent times have carried this extra burden.
Delighted that the three clubs scrapping for second place below us managed to take points off each other in a week Celtic won twice. Well done to Aberdeen, Newco and Kilmarnock for sticking with it. If there was a clear challenger their task would be easier.
It is a source of some regret that Project Hibs is on the skids right now and Neil Lennon is set to lose his job. Hibs and Neil seemed a perfect match. His results at the club against Celtic, Newco and Hearts were unprecedented in the modern era. Football progress is seldom linear and this year was destined to be one of realignment, something Neil and the club should have acknowledged.
They could do worse than appointing boyhood Hibs fan, Gordon Strachan, as manager, but whoever gets the job will be a step down from Neil. They are likely to remain a Premiership team for the foreseeable future – they will not appoint the likes of Terry Butcher again – but mid-table mediocrity beckons.

Any truth in the rumour MadMitch has joined the Green Brigade

Ha! The Scratch tune reminds me of how I felt drinking Night Train Express and toking some Kensel Rise Green:)

After the Celtic Star being branded ‘clickbait’ last week, I pointed out that that was far from the case and that they had a high accuracy in reporting of deals (and team news) ahead of other websites and mainstream outlets. Well, heres a little test for them to maintain that accuracy – Morgan to sign for Sunderland:

Of course this has been rumoured before but it seems they have beaten Aberdeen and Hibs to sign the player on loan.

When’s the deadwood train arriving ffs ?
The Deadwood stage driven by Calamity Pete (with quickdraw Bankier riding shotgun) is on it’s way.
But is it collecting ….or delivering?

Happy to see Brendan giving backing to Neil Lennon, class as always from him.
“If they end up parting their ways then of course it would be very disappointing and it would be a sad end to what has been a really, really successful time there,” said Rodgers of the former Celtic manager.
“He galvanised Hibs when he went in there and shown consistently what a fantastic job he’s done there.
“As a guy, I’ve a lot of respect for him. I did as a player, I have done as a manager. He’s a good man who loves the game. He’s a real thoughtful guy, a very intelligent guy. I’m sure if it did come to an end at Hibs then he will walk into another job.”

Given the lack of mentions it received is it fair to say the Green Brigade banners on Saturday resonated with a few on here?! Because don’t you know if they didn’t the whingers would have been out in force…

Such delicious irony.

If Morgan goes on loan and Hayes leaves do you think we will loan Shved out as Brendan suggested?
Would make more sense to me if he stayed to familiarize himself with spl environment and our systems.
Re. NFL going to the hun.
Well he did go there for a trial when a youth player
If Hayes goes to Aberdeen and Morgan goes wherever, then we only have 3 wingers, Sinclair, Johnston and Forrest. Edouard and Weah and Burke can play left but are not wingers in the sense. So where does the “we have millions of wingers come from”? por cierto
Jist,…jist gie the keys of the club to the Green Brigade.
Or, yeez can beg for whatever crumbs are to fall off your, masonic Irish tory PLC board’s table.

Was it not Brendan who used that phrase?
He was probably referring to CQN and was actually talking about the millions of whingers who have overrun this site and spoiled the happy clapping :-)

You can add Arzani and Shved to that list.

Shved is coming in to bolster the wings not as an extra addition if those 2 go out on loan por cierto.

Fan a tic- agree i would let him settle in rather than loan him

Not signed for Celtic yet and he’s away on loan already celtic quick news indeed.
Look at BR’s comments in context, became available due to circumstances etc, im sure he wasnt / isnt looking for a winger in this window, and to be honest did any of us (those on the happyclapper bus think everything is rosy anyway)
makes me think of resevoir dugs

Perhaps Shved may be staying at his old Club on loan until the Summer. It could be a condition of the sale

There was a convoy waiting to drive him to the airport as soon as the ink on the contract dried.

Nah we need Schved to go on loan to West Brom for most delicious irony of the day.

Re Maryan Schved
Looks not bad in those clips.

PS On another matter all together. I think the terms Happy Clappers and Mineshafters on here are not the best way to describe those of a positive or negative outlook. I would argue that negative is less necessary as Scotland as a whole already offers its fair share of that but it can still play its part in keeping us awake.
