I don’t know anything about Stefan Johansen, who is one of several central midfield players Celtic are tracking, but I’m pleased we’re scouting for this area. There’s no question we are missing a penalty box predator but you could make a case that the sense of calm and control exerted by Victor Wanyama in the middle of the park is a more telling absence.
Nir Biton has all the potential to get there eventually but it’s going to take him time. He reminds me of Ki, who a couple of seasons ago was fifth choice central mid for Celtic, behind Brown, Wanyama, Ledley and Kayal. This season I’ve watched him collect and distribute, close space and bring shape to a struggling Sunderland team.
I’ve also watched a bit of Barry Robson since his return to Aberdeen. Despite his advancing years he remains one of the most intelligent footballers in the game. His arrival in the Celtic midfield six years ago changed Celtic into a winning team. You don’t need Pele for this role, just a tactically aware athlete.
How many accountants does it take to tell you that losing circa £1m per month is not a good idea? Lots, apparently.

Deja Vu on Sky arts :)))

WC has not convinced me about
the merits of the Nevin interview.
Imo they did it now they need to justify it.

“Please tell me there is someone involved in running
Scottish football who sees there is something not right here”.
There are many who see it and shamelessly turn a blind eye to it.
TBJ Praying for Oscar Knox
Good seeing you today mate at the wee Rovers. Great initiative by them and I ‘ll be back if we’re not playing.
Numbers 1-11, terracing and great pies, what’s not to like?
Still guys on the ‘hill’ though and all they needed was the price of Sevco to get in…

Great idea from the rovers and glad you and others took the time to go..
Tomorrow’s game is on Premier Sports. Free trial on virgin media, happy days!

The most important thing is FR definitely enjoyed his day. I would imagine it would be fantastic having 40 odd thousand shouting and supporting you. Opinions!
Roy….of the Rovers :)
We just need to mind no let off the smoke bombs

The problem with Bruce Springsteen is that well he really isnt that good.
Born to Run and then born in the USA then Born a mug I mean How many born agains does one really need?

Can’t agree with that post,
Bruce Springsteen is a lyrical genius,
and can chant a bit too…..only my opinion mind you.

If not working in ksc I will..
Fair enjoyed that game, no bad for 0-0, watching the analysis after the game, it was superb, they dissected everything, every decision the ref made, every decision he didn’t which they thought he should have, and fair to both teams, no bias either way, what a breath of fresh air, had it been Real mind you !!!
And we get the crap auntie serves up.

I think he’s in their good books at the moment and the Zombies were showing a rare bit of compassion.
The last time he was at Ibrox he got booed-off as he was sent-off in a ‘friendly’ against the club in liquidation.
Ole Nando doesn’t do friendlies – seemingly he was kicking the shit out of anything that moved. The ole eyes glazed over and the rest is history.
Zimmerman…..
I love lots of Springsteen’s stuff and have seen him live a few times too.The Boss never disappoints live,in my opinion.
Have to admit on first and only listen to this new one, I feel a wee bit underwhelmed.
Hoping its a slow burner and grows on me.

Celtic continue to be the benchmark.
It’s that time of night again.
We are the best football club in the world
with the finest supporters ever.

Gordon64 –
What is it you expect the SPFL to do about Sevco exactly? You keep mentioning their overspending and bad financial management and demanding that the SPFL do something. Like what? Tell them to cut Ally’s salary and get rid of a few high earners? If they did, and Sevco thereby survive and avoid an insolvency event, we’d all be screaming about the SPFL having got involved in helping them.
As long as Sevco continue to fulfill their fixtures, there’s not a damn thing the SPFL can do, and why would we want them to?
This is brilliant……

I trust that Pat Nevin will be asked the answer to relevant
questions.The fact he agreed to speak to CQN is a positive.
In his book On ma heid he spoke fondly about Celtic.
What has changed his outlook ?
I trust BRTH to find out.
Only my opinion.HH

Think you got half of that right…..the first part :)

I don’t know, but I was under the impression that we were under uefa’s umbrella, and their rules give the governing body to act if they think a member club are…say trading while insolvent for instance…..Oh wait a minute >}

Thanks for taking the time to post.
I would at the very least expect the powers that be
investigate the financial practices taking place on the south side
and if they are likely to bring Scottish football into further disrepute
take the appropriate action.
But we know that ain’t going to happen.

The more i listen to High Hopes the better it gets,
defo a grower methinks.
Serious question…
Do Celtic have an equivalent to Willie Vass, or does Lawell’s Politburo refuse open access to photographers?
The captions are cringeworthy but Willie’s photographs are very high quality at times.
