I know when you begin to dominate a championship that when another team eventually lift the trophy it can seem like an intolerable failure; compare our distress in 2009 to our resolve to do better after the final home game in 1996. Time adds perspective to our triumphs. As does not being there and seeing photos of the presentation hours after the event.
These are special times, enjoy them.
Many thanks to the Columba Club in Blantyre for Friday night’s Question and Answer event, and to the irrepressible Phil Agnew, who organised the event. I was delighted to share a stage with Paul McConville and Phil Mac Giolla Bhain. Great to see so many CQN’ers there too, my only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to catch up with everyone. With supporters like those in Blantyre on Friday night, we’re in good hands.
Remember to buy Heart of a Lion, Willie Wallace’s magnificent autobiography, available below.

Anyone know off the top of their head how many trophies Willie Maley won in his 43 years?
Not sure if anyone has mentioned the Andy Walker comment from yesterday
Fraser Wright smacked Lustig full in the face with his elbow – 100% intentional – Lustig knew it was intentional and went after Wright – Andy Walker says “Fraser Wright showing his experience” the worst football commentator comment ever – The wee bastard Walker should be sacked for that comment – not because it was against Celtic – but he and Sky should be highlighting thuggery in the game not complementing it as “experience” Terrible statement from a so called pundit absolute tosser

Shocking indeed, it was allegedly because of his masonic links he was granted a gun licence. And he appealed as high as Her Maj because he was not granted a permit to run a youth club.

Best player that managed us……….. Big Billy, the greatest living Celt.
If dalglish is being classed as a temporary manager its gotta be liam brady
Fanadpatriot
Excuse my overuse of the n there… hangover is lingering and cba putting my goggles on
Hope someone pulls the walker up on ssb this week
Best player that managed us, Big Jock, or sorry, the best Manager that played for us. Please yerselves. :))

If Kenny is not considered then it is a tough call as we have had some great players become managers.
I think that as an all round football player the David Hay has to be in with a shout. The quiet assassin.

Has to be big Billy for me!
23 trophies as a player (including the EC and 9-in-a-row) + 8 trophies as manager.
I think what Billy kacked in skills he more than made up for with leadership qualities

Should have added as manager – the 2nd most important date in our history – the Centenary Double.
Can anyone give lyrics to the new Izzy and Sami songs sung by the GB yesterday?
Bt
Is that inside information on big billy
As far as the best player to manage us. I would say Jimmy McCrory. Mind you, I never saw him playing. If it is confined to those whom I have seen wearing the Hoops, then I would say Kenny Dalglish and then Davie Hay.

Someone posted the sammi lyrics yesterday evening
I think billy was second to jinky in the club poll on the greatest ever Celt..with that honours list as a player its hard to dispute ..
All the best to fergie – can’t argue with success – Gary Neville – sick of him blathering on already. I’m a bit worried about the state of our club – heard one of our players may be leaving this summer – we are just not viable anymore
Jinkster.
A bit of both buddy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Celtic_F.C._managers
List of Celtic managers, Kenny Dalglish is in there.
He is the best player to have managed Celtic.
TBJ
Any idea who and time?
Lustig incident on the BBC highlights tonight – commented on as well, as in ‘That was nasty’.
Team of managers (4-4-2 but missing a keeper)
Jansen
McNeil
Mowbray
Hay
O’Neil
Lennon
Brady
Burns
McGrory
Dalglish
Subs: Macari, Strachan, Barnes
Manager: Stein (of course)
Johnnyquest-I admire guys who stick up for their mates,but that was pre-meditated assault by Wright.And i would call out a player in the Hoops for the same.Remember how Kelvin Wilson was hounded by ESPN Craigen & Co at Dens Park,when the Dundee player brushed it off.Blaming Celtic players consistently for various nonsense, is the MO of a guy who knows the proscribed agenda to keep himself in work.
sammi sammi he leaps like a gazelle, and like the lovely cheryl, he uses loreal, definately worth it with hair so long and fine, he’s giorgios samaras celtic’s number 9.
don’t know the izzy one.
