10 September 2016. Five years ago today you were almost certainly worried about the absence of Leigh Griffiths ahead of Newco visiting Celtic Park that day. In the previous season, Leigh scored 31 league goals in 32 starts and two substitute appearances, he was on fire and the indisputable top striker in the country. No one in Scottish football has scored at this rate since.
When he was next available for selection four games later, there was a new sheriff in town. Moussa Dembele used those games to make sure he became indispensable to Brendan Rodger’s Celtic. From then on, Leigh, still only 26, would be used as filler.
The prospect of a month without Kyogo Furuhashi is not the news Ange Postecoglou wanted. Pittodrie, where we visit at the start of next month, will be testing, as will the game in Seville against Real Betis and the home tie against Bayer Leverkusen this month. We have two other international strikers at the club, it is time for one of them to step up.

I think you have over simplified the running of a minority sport national body there when just looking at short term measures such as annual turnover.
KPI’s relating to the development of game structures and building sustainable long term brand equity are of significant importance.
The KPI’s for a Celtic CEO must surely be different to just a P&L too ? Or is that maybe the problem.
spurs didnt have a single shot either on or off target in the first half there against the mighty crystal palace despite starting with a front 3 of harry kane, dele alli and lucas moura
so the moral of the story in relation to our possible team selection today?
err, there isnt one
Sooner or later it’s that boorish tone from some that strikes a chord…………
ye’d hate to sit next to them at a game….at whatever ground.
Aye.
Yes

Michael O ‘ Halloran for CEO
Burnley,
I wouldn’t dispute that. Of course there are other measures depending on the scope of his role, but my post was in response to Bada’s comment re recognition for the revenue he (may have) generated etc.
He was the No 2 exec at a national sports body. An administrator. We need good administrators at our national sports bodies. At least we didn’t appoint Neil Doncaster. 😉
FOURTH attempt. Rediculous
live updates up
Eddy scores for Palace
Eddie scores in first few seconds.
They goat thur penalty……………….
Aye.

Where was this Eddie the last few months? Noticed that Benteke was not too happy to be substituted for him. Gives Viera problem for next week.
