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.

Concerning Celtic
i think that Ange will start with
Hart
Ralston Welsh Starfelt Mongomery
Rogic McGregor Turnball
Abada, Ajeti Jota
I assume Julien, Taylor, Forrest, McCarthy, Dembele, Kyogo, Johnston are all out injured. Henderson and McInroy I believe are out on Loan,
i think Ange prefers to have new arrivals starting from the bench Ralston has not played last two weeks so should be fresher than Juranovic. Scales was away with Ireland but didn’t play. GiakoumakisI will come on for Ajeti. Jota will start as we dont have another option
1-0 will do me

que first conspiracy theory or made up pish ………….
Personal reasons apparently
.
well that’s a shock
BigBhoy,
we should play Eddie, and not allow him just to sit in the stands counting his contract down.
Dom McKay once went to a Janey Godley gig and was mildly amused by some of her material.
Mike Nicholson has never heard of Janey Godley but once attended an Enid Marshall lecture and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Been at a funeral. Logged on and read back. Some should hang their heads in shame.
Just read re: Dom standing down – that’s a shock and a half.
Celtic Football Club announced today that Chief Executive Dom McKay has stood down from his position for personal reasons.
#CelticFC’s Director of Legal and Football Affairs Michael Nicholson has been appointed to the Board of Celtic plc as acting CEO.Celtic Football Club announced today that Chief Executive Dom McKay has stood down from his position for personal reasons.

Dom McKay has chucked it.
If our CEO has personal stuff to dea with and can’t give his all I respect his decision .
So let’s just take him at face value and worry if Peter is stepping back in
I’ll say this for the cult. They look after their own.
Dom standing down. I hope that’s NOT an excuse for Lawwell to make a comeback!

Personal reasons?
No doubt an NDA signed as usual so we’ll never find out.
Whatever the reasons are we stumble forward and backward like me on the way home from a night out.
Peter coming back?
McKay walks

Michael Nicholson’s role in dealing with Res 12.
Anyone care to comment?
and still the one-line one agenda, one catch-phrase politico’s defend the misogyny.
Wonder what the personal reasons are ………Lawwell?
When ‘personal reasons’ are cited is they’re not usually a plea for personal privacy to be respected?
For whatever reason, losing Dominic Mckay is not good.

takes me 30 mins to walk to my local, 45 mins on the way back.
The difference is staggering………
Holy moly……..step forward……..

Have you read the tweets?
What did you think of them?
I posted on here a few weeks back he wasn’t happy.
The Dominic McKay window?
Dom standing down. I hope that’s NOT an excuse for Lawwell to make a comeback!
maybe he didn’t leave and Dom had enough ?
I hope Dom McKay is able to secure another role soon and his reason for leaving is not too serious.
For Celtic, this is something of a disaster. Not bringing in that DoF could yet be our undoing. Ange working with our piecemeal backroom team.
The 2 to 3 year rebuild could be jeopardised.
Disappointing
Club ain’t big enough for the both of them…..
TBB @ 4.30
No misogyny on my part — just some pointed comments towards a low rent attention seeker and our failing FM.
Consequently blow it oot yer erse ya rocket.
read back ernie, then come back and tell me “that what a cultist would say though isnt it”.
or maybe you could start by telling us in turn why what Mad Mitch wrote was ok ?
At least he wasn’t our right back.
….or left back.
Sorry Mad Mitch, what I really meant was get yourself royally to fuck.
There.

Nicholson was equally as evasive and mendacious as Lawwell in dealing with Res 12. He rejected a shareholder letter as ‘defamatory’ for stating the plain truth that shareholders had been deceived at an AGM.
This is a retrograde step. At least McKay wasn’t tarnished. Now Auldheid & Co, or the CST, will have a tough row to how to get back on the agenda. It is very disconcerting.
Agree, somethings afoot.
Virtually not a single word or deed since his opening statement.
Personal reasons would eventually be made known, my guess is there are none.

Not a cult.
Definitely not a cult.
