Falkirk are five points clear of Dundee United and Aberdeen with a game in hand over both, and having won three of their last four games, are bettered only by Hibernian over that period. There is clear green water between them and fifth placed Hibs, but Falkirk’s spot as sixth in the table before the split looks secured.
Dundee were the only side to score against Falkirk during that four game run, when they withstood a 23-shot onslaught to win 1-0. A draw against Newco at the Falkirk Stadium led to ugly scenes and the departure of Russell Martin. Newco’s replacement survived a draw in the return fixture at Ibrox as John McGlynn’s proved he is a manager of substance.
Their trips to Celtic Park this season have been less successful. A 4-1 defeat saw them exit the League Cup, before a 4-0 Celtic win in Martin O’Neill’s first game in charge this season. Johnny Kenny scored the opening two goals that night, how he would like to rekindle that kind of confidence.
As things stand, I am far from convinced of our title credentials (the news we will be without Jota for a whole season did not help in this respect), however, credentials are established on plastic pitches and cold nights in places like Falkirk. Martin and Shaun’s wizardry will be tested.

Sevco sign a left back for 3m
*every day for all my sins I also check the bbc gossip column plus during the transfer winda I check that part of their site tae, so unless they have stopped covering Scottish fitba I have yet to see a 2012 signing so far this January, however the gossip this morning indicated the following:
“Rangers have agreed a loan fee with Wolfsburg for Andreas Skov Olsen, with the winger on his way to Glasgow to complete the deal. (Tipsbladet – in Danish), external
Rangers are increasingly confident they will land Andreas Skov Olsen on loan and that they can strike a deal to make it permanent by negotiating an option to buy for much less than the £12m Wolfsburg paid Club Brugge a year ago. (Daily Record), external
No loan deal has yet been agreed with Wolfsburg for Andreas Skov Olsen and, although Rangers head coach Danny Rohl holds the 26-year-old in high regard, the Ibrox club are considering other options as they look to bolster their attacking options. (Sky Sports)”
“Having joined Genk’s academy from Westerlo as a youngster, Rommens struggled to break into the first team and returned to the Antwerp outfit in 2023.
He has since scored one goal and contributed nine assists in 79 appearances for the Belgian Pro League side and has been capped nine times by his country at under-21 level.
Rommens arrives able to train and play immediately, but his early involvement will be managed and he is not expected be fully ready for action for three to four weeks.”
Could you imagine the furour on here and other Celtic sites if that was us
Team sheet latest………………… Scalesy 💨
It at least indicates a structure and planning ahead, Meghoma the present left back is on loan, is a poor defender and more suited to playing wing back, sneer all you like, if they win the league and due to their coefficient get entry to the CL they will trample us into the dust for several years, and that’s if we decide to be a Football Club first of all. We have totally f….d up no matter what way this is looked at a huge cash balance in the bank that can’t be spent on footballers because we hoarded the money for hell knows why.
On this blog, the true Hunterlopers reveal themselves, they value the comfort of the boardroom’s status quo over the success of the football club on the park.

TBB, an excellent write up.
*absolutely, btw there’s another blog out there that pretty much castigated this site with comments like one section of contributors are at literary war with another and neither the twain shall meet, which is true, but it was some of the comments on the site such as we do NOT represent the vast majority of Celtic supporters and we even use the “R” word, as we all know that’s the interlopers who can NEVER accept that 1872 are deid, but by eff they do a lot of damage on here.
Good evening all from Falkirk, the town that time forgot. No wonder I take strong drink.

“Those in the seats have become our very own Whytes & Kellys…and they will and should be remembered just like them before the immortal words “The Rebels Have Won”
…….
BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT.
The rebels didn’t win. McCann won – because he lied his erchie off to the fans, about selling the club back to them at a price which fans would be able to afford.
When BRIAN DEMPSEY immediately resigned from the new board, and he was the only one with the integrity and steel balls to do so, then the game,…the game was over, the rebels had been lied to, and they all sucked up to McCann who’s 1st job was to Sack LOU MACARI and gift wrapped the next 3 league titles to the Huns.
So, McCann was a bull in a china shop disaster zone!
After McCann had sacked MACARI, he then sacked JUNGLEISM by delivering season tickets in ‘post code’ batches so that JUNGLISTS would be broken into thousands of peices ad thrown to the wind, like JFK was going to do to the CIA/FBI, the North Canada terrorist was now in control of Celtic, starting fires everywhere he went.
BUT.
McCann sh7t his pants when the SFA told him that if he tried to put seats down in the old Parkhead then they [Celtic] had better learn Gaylick football because that is all that would be allowed to be played at Parkhead.
WHY?
Because McCann asked the SFA to allow Celtic to hire Hampden for 1 season, and the SFA quoted an exorbitant sum of money which McCann is said to have got up and walked out of the SFA headquarters.
Why no media conference to tell the fans now “customers” what had happened at the SFA meeting?
Was it because McCann made an ass of himself and by doing so, put the very future of Celtic FC into a corner.
So, The Rebels were mugged off by sleekit McCann, who handed the keys to DD before he left in 1999.
And here we are playing at Old Firm survival racketeering.
How about:
Celtic season ticket holders, Green Brigade, etc, etc, all put their heads together and get a supporter base agreement that, ‘NOT A SINGLE SEASON TICKET WILL BE PURCHASED – UNTIL – The Summer Transfer Window is closed’, and Celtic’s “Customer Base” will have a better idea as to what exactly they are being asked to buy into?????????
Anything else will lead to more of the same hamster wheel for the Old Firm palaver!

Just back in from the shops there and since this is still January and I do live n a winter country, it has been ascertained that Canada is the coldest country on earth, NOT the coldest place as that’s Antarctica, I wore my Celtic toque,.
I am NOT and NEVER have been embarrassed or humiliated to be a Celtic supporter and NEVER will be, I have seen some good, very good and even excellent sides also some NOT so good but NEVER ugly ones, I’ll leave that to the denizens of G51 2XD, btw do you know that their mailing address is Glasgow G51 2XD United Kingdom and NOT Scotland WTF.
I have been in some ugly and compromising positions but NEVER bowed down to that mob, we are Celtic supporters “and as the Bunnet once said “being a Celtic supporter is not always easy, but it is always worthwhile.”, “as Celtic fans, we can be proud of ourselves and what we have achieved in our life, because what we have achieved has been achieved on our own merits. We haven’t had to join any secret organisation in life to get where we are today, and that’s important to you” and “Celtic is a community institution the supporters are entitled to be proud of.”
Mibbees just mibbees we should get back to supporting the club and NOT filling the pages of the SMSM and HSM/

If I called sumdy a “racist” I’d make sure that they knew what I was inferring.
As it it stands – Your just a pretentious prk with NOTHiNG/ZERO to underline your accusations.
That’s what woke girly/boys do call everybody a racist whom they disagree with. lol
There were THOUSANDS of people posting on here during the covid plandemic that you fell hook line and sinker for and grassed up most if not all of those posters maybe your mixing me up with one of those poor people.
Maybe you grassed up the wrong people?
Easily done when you have a Mod’s ear on speed dial.
Take care.

11 months on from Munich we are having our title credentials tested by a team that were playing third tier football two years ago. Sums up the ambition of the club.
Aw naw. I was sure it was a 7:45 kick-off.
What time did the game start and how much are we losing by?
Can’t believe it.

Still haven’t a scooby what you are inferring.
Scooby Do barking would be more coherent.
The Irish posters laughed at your fake news media meme saying that 0.02% of Irish rebels want Ireland to get re-migrating done and reclaim Ireland for the Irish, not half of Arabia/Africa/Asia put to the front of the queue in Ireland and native Irish LAST in the queue in Ireland effective immediately.
What is wrong with that??????
Do you hate Irish people now as well??????
No more of your snash.

BACK TO BASICS – 4.44pm
Given the current Celtic climate this came to mind,
Someone on the Board is making a narcissist of it 👍
looking at bet365 for a flutter –
celtic are 12/25 to win!
i reckon that is the first time i have ever seen that price shown in any bet, and ive been doing it for over 35 years.
why dont the sad fks just say 1/2, for the microscopic difference it makes.
proves more than anything that you are betting against a computer.
Kev Racist
Not inferring anything
You are a racist scumbag.
All that migration to here or ireland affects your benefits

After tonights game, if we do not have a striker in place, probable, I would not be averse to playing Benji a striker.
He is our top scorer

live updates up
the one saying the comment doesnt ‘infer’, they ‘imply’.
its the receiver of the comment that ‘infers’ things from it.
sorted.
From the Blue Broadcasting Corporation
“Build-up with leaders Hearts & challengers Celtic both in action”
To paraphrase Elton John & Bernie Taupin
“Champions seems to be the hardest word”
If the truth be told this team is NOT winning anything
