Congratulations to who originally penned: “We shall not be move, not by the Hearts, the Hibs or The Rangers, erm, we’ll not be moved, OK?” Celtic stand alone, our historic rivals, those who half a century ago denied our grandparents, are gone. Do we have a perfect season ahead? Maybe not, but it will be a unique historical joy nonetheless.
Some of the chat yesterday was that the Premiership would be poorer without Hibernian next season, but anyone who watched Hamilton out-pass and out-play them on Sunday wouldn’t think so. Hibs have offered nothing of note to league football for years. Terry Butcher has got practically everything wrong since arriving at Easter Road but his post-match comment, that perhaps his team needed relegation to thoroughly clear the decks.
Whatever Hibs are they are not competition to Celtic. Our domestic competition next season will come from Aberdeen, Dundee United and Motherwell. United and Aberdeen both finished the season poorly after showing considerable promise early on. Expect Jackie McNamara and Derek McInnes to build on their work over the last year.
If you were an aspiring Championship club you will not have welcomed the Accies result on Sunday. Now clear of their administration travails Hearts have the strongest squad in next season’s Championship. They will also be solvent, able to build on their squad and are likely to sell more season tickets than anyone else in the league.
Hibs’ newly recruited chief exec, Leann Dempster, is potentially the clubs most important recruit in 10 years. She will surely attempt to fit her successful Motherwell template onto the Edinburgh club – and may even have more resources at her disposal.
Queens and Falkirk know they are up against it in their bid for promotion next season but they are two well-run clubs who will have an influence on who does go up. I’m not even prepared to consider anyone else for the promotion spots, some just don’t have the players, some don’t have the management, some don’t have the money to end the season. Some are afflicted by all three ailments.
With the potential of a rejuvenated Hibs making next season’s play-offs, Premiership clubs will spend the next 11 months anticipating the very real possibility that it’s odds on that two clubs will go down next season. Accies and Dundee look more than a match for St Mirren, Kilmarnock, Ross County and Partick Thistle. While Celtic will win the league comfortably, we’re likely to see intense competition between Motherwell, Aberdeen and United for the ‘Best of the Rest’ badge, and between the other eight clubs to stay up.

Three out of the last four managers were puppets!
WGS
BTM
NFL
All of the above were kitted out with the appropriate attire ie:
puppet strings. imho
To cut a long story short….Celtic stopped being Celtic when – MO’N left.
The 1st season under Neil was also acceptable imho.
Folk will jump on me here(probably) and tell me how wonderful a manager
Neil was?
Oh yeah?
So, who’s after him?
Neil’s saving grace was when the huns lost their ‘top’ players and, lets not forget
that, Fat/Sleakit/Salary….skelped Neil’s team at ipox twice before the financial/doping
thing came to a head, Jelly & Ice cream Sundae when we went to ipox to win the league
being for me the most annoying.
On conclusion re: Neil leaving…..
Was he sacked?
Did he resign?
What?
The above questions are only necessary cos, I believe that Celtic PLC
is a rudderless ship.
In one way Leckie’s prediction about the huns was right. After dying in 2012 the dot on the horizon went out forever, and sevco are now a blot on the landscape.
Leckie should be reminded about this at every opportunity.
Credit to Bill Leckie; he was nearly right.
His ‘dot on the horizon’ turned out to be a blot on the landscape.
Green Lantern! Fools seldom differ, eh…

superb stuff, need to save that one….

yes.
horses are the big 4 legged animals. They will on a course between white boundry fences form an area of the course they call the start line (which will change dependant on distance of race) and the finish line which always a ppears to be static.
My biggest tip is that there will be a bar. hit it. that’s the best bit.
Stay away from the guys who take your money and give you a we biit of useless paper in return. When you try to hand back the bit of paper they will scoff and laugh up their sleeve at you!

Would you like to rephrase your last post in language I might understand?
kevjungle- yes, the famous Glasgow Celtic.
Following them entails disappointment as well as euphoria; we’re not going to win every game; and sometimes yes, we will get skelped.
And sometimes the actions of the Board will have us wailin’ and gnashin’ our teeth- but tell me Kev, what else are we goin’ to do?
Go off oot to Firhill, or Palmerston?
EXCLUSIVE
Daily Record
28 May 2014
In a sensational development late last night, Pep Guardiola, current head coach at Bayern Munich and former manager at Barcelona, issued Celtic supremo Peter Lawell with a ‘come and get me’ plea.
Guardiola explained to our extremely reliable source that “whilst I have been fortunate to have played for and managed some of the biggest clubs in the world, nothing prepared me for the Champions League nights in Glasgow. The ambition of every manager should be to manage in Glasgow- the passion, the history, the rivalry, the fans. As a footballing trainee at La Masia, myself and the other lads would watch the Rangers games on television. I just loved Terry Hurlock and Mark Hateley.
Some people in Glasgow may think it unusual for me to seek to manage Celtic in the first instance. However , I believe it would give me exposure in the Scottish game to put me in the running for the Rangers job in the future after Ally McCoist completes the job of returning the Teddy Bears to their rightful place in the SPFL.
I always regret missing out on the chance to play for Rangers, however the closest I came was when the club opted for Bob Malcolm instead.
Clearly Ally is doing a great job right now but I would see myself perhaps working at Celtic for a few seasons in order to prepare me for the honour of climbing the marble stairway at Edminston Road.
I know that other managers such as Jose (Mourinho) and Carlo (Ancelotti) will be in the frame, however I hope that the fact that I am a lifelong Rangers fan might give me an edge with the board (whoever they are)”
blantyretim:
The video with his grand-kids is a story in itself, never mind the queen the war and Alex Ferguson, but I doubt many will take the bother or time to watch it and learn a wee bit of their history.
Times are almost undeniably scary when your thought process becomes aligned with Kevjungles.
Off oot tae ma bed for a lie doon.

WGS for return to celtic being floated by some on here.
Liked him from the outset. Still do.
Hated some of the footie he had us playing but think he’s done a good job with Scotland.
But…….what makes us think he’d want to be back in the goldfish bowl of Glasgow with no more/less resource and opportunity than he had 1st time round??
Just asking like……does he have a granny doing his spin-doctoring like Owen? If so, what’s she saying on the matter?? ;-)

Personally I think Big Malky would be the best fit with the current squad. The squad is geared up to play backs against the wall fitba in Europe. He knows how to win a title as well.
I wouldn’t say it was inspiring but I think he would do alright by us.

Kev – Same points over and over and over and over… What in your honest opinion would go some way to fixing the diabolical way Celtic are being run both in the boardroom and dressing room, and I’m far from a PL fan..

I wouldn’t be averse to that either, especially with the names being bandied about at present. Would like to see if the SFA would be asking for any compo as well :-)

Kickinthenakas,
Gambling is much safer for your liver than drinking.
Well….until you have to sell part of it to pay your gambling debt ;)
Just watched a Soccer AM video about John Hartson and the girl prompts John Hartson, when he was going through Chemo to tell the world what the special message from Gordon Strachan was…
“Come on Big Man, there’s easier ways than that to lose weight”
away to watch the second best game of Rugby in the world, after Australia v N.Z. (union) that is, State of Origin – Big Hits and Brawls
Nothing for Hamilton i’m afraid,but i’ve got a tip for Ayr……………………….

Pat, sorry for the delay. I got caught up in work this morning and had a call out to rescue a cat from up a tall tree. The cat should be ok but the poor old lady owner had a bit of funny turn when I almost dropped it onto the concrete below. Anyway, I’m back in my office now and will call the bank again to try to set up the payments as quickly as possible. Hang in there my friend
Thanks buddy

P.S. I got your other mail this morning too. Rest assured I’m working this as fast as I can.
