After a long international break, the full Celtic squad resumed training this morning, two days before the visit of Hibernian. With a depleted Hearts facing Aberdeen at the same time, a win for Celtic could see the champions go top of the table on goal difference.
Aberdeen, in seventh place, are enduring their worst start to a campaign in years. The contrast between the trauma this has caused in the north east, with the euphoria of the team in sixth place is stark. But, with the Pittodrie squad is getting back to full strength at the same time as Hearts’ has weakened. I expect a return to trend at Tynecastle on Saturday.
The next two months will not be easy for Celtic. With European commitments, we have two games per week, apart from when the majority of the squad away on international duty again next month, but the sight of Celtic at the top of the table will look ominous to the rest of the league, and quieten down some of the manufactured hysteria over our early season dropped points.

I am consoling myself with the fact that Hibs two best players against us last season, John McGinn and Dylan McGeoch have been sold. Neil will have a plan though.
The Lurgan Bhoy is a clever man.
Should be a crackin match.

DelaneysDunkey & MelbourneMick, Thank you for your kind words.
I used to love Saturday 3pm kick offs. Sometimes went to that car park just before the stadium with a carry out. Other times the supporter’s club across the road with a live band on. But I also loved going to Yogi’s pub. He would be standing outside, always with a cheery smile and a ‘Hello’. It would be 6 deep at the bar, but I got to know one of the auld barmaids and we hit it off. As soon as she saw me I got served right away. Much to the annoyance of others.
Happy days!
MACJAY

Yes those were the days, ST STIVS had a photo on the other
day showing the auld railway bridge just at the entrance to
the Celtic way and it stirred my memories of sitting up behind
it with my mates drinking the lanliq and i was quite partial
to a wee drop of four crown.
To be honest it was all we could afford lol.
H.H Mick
Delaney’s sadly all I think of With the 60,000 sell out is a smug, corrupt, complacent board undermining us and getting away with it.
Who’d have thunk it eh.

Where was Yogi’s pub? Coatbridge?
The only ex Celts who have ever served me a pint had pubs facing each other on Great Western Road. Jim Brogan RIP had Wintersgills and Alfie Conn had Captain’s Rest. Two brilliant blokes. Jim was hard as nails. Alfie a pussycat, but with heavy mates. ?
YNWA
Does anybody else think Lenny will be destined to return
to Celtic one day?
H.H Mick
DD, The London Road Tavern. It’s changed it’s name since. Can’t remember what it’s called now.
Hearing Laffatme has more to worry about, than a 5 day ban from Norn Iron….big story soon…
Mick, I thought Lenny left because of PL interference in signings or the lack of them. So I can’t see him wanting to come back.
I actually think he has improved as a manager.
JIMTHETIM53
Used to be a pub just outside the park and up from the school
and my wee princess’s uncle Jim Keegan ran it, think it was
called the sidelines or similar, of course that was way back in
the day.
