White shirted fitness freaks arrive at Training Centre

911

Fixtures are out and the management team are in-situ at Bobbylennoxtown; the air of anticipation for a new chapter in a 126-year-old story lies heavy over Celtic supporters.  I wish we were starting tomorrow.

If you are a Celtic player, what would your overbearing sentiment be today?  If it was me, looking at photos of those two white-shirted fitness freaks at the Training Centre today, I’d be tempted to get out for a run, before the real business starts next week.

There are only a few things a manager can do in his first few days in charge of a new squad but setting standards for fitness and training are two clear examples.  Monitoring is not just about stepping on the scales anymore, the players will have their body fat, glycogen levels and heart beats documented from when they get back and throughout the season thereafter.  With benchmarks for all, as well as performances.  I’m feeling tired even thinking about it.

Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his book, All the Best.

    Screen 73 England now have to beat ( and well) the team that beat Uruguay tonight – apart from that …

    Nobel Prize for Suarez doctor who made operation and made him ready for this WC.

     

     

    That is top analysis…….you are a fine Mhan Sir.

     

    Seriously though, a 60% fit Suarez was enough to turn the tables. Well done to him!

    Italy will not be playing for a draw they will want 6 points in case they slip up against Uruguay.

     

    Should make for an entertaining game against Costa Rica.

    Courtesy of two defenders missing tackles they should easily have won!

     

     

    The second guy should’ve cleared the ball, Johnson, and anyone in the general vicinity out of the ground!

     

     

    Made me quite upset for a while, that did!

    Roy just been asked if he will go 442 he said no 747 theres more leg room .

     

     

    Oh yes… well said :))

  13. Snake Plissken on

    If Costa Rica get a draw tomorrow then England ARE out.

     

     

    If Italy beat them England have a chance but they would then need Italy to do them a favour and beat a Costa Rica team with great heart who just gubbed the team that gubbed them.

     

     

    I think that is what you call a longshot.
