I don’t recall having seen us win the league against our direct competitors. Has it happened in the last 49 years? Yesterday’s results at Tynecastle and Pittodrie ensures that a point against Aberdeen on Sunday will be enough to confirm Celtic as 5-in-a-row champions. As it stands, a 17 goal win for Aberdeen would put us under pressure for the last two games of the season…..
This will be the fourth time in Scottish football history 5-in-a-row has been achieved and Celtic’s third. The last time we were here, Hay, Gemmell, Murdoch, McNeill, Johnstone, Wallace, Auld and Lennox did a lot of the heavy work, with youngsters like Macari, McGrain and Dalglish on the periphery of the team. It was a team which would soon embark on considerable change, which is at least one thing they have in comment with contemporary Celtic.
Another member of that Celtic team, Charlie Gallagher, left the club exactly 46 years ago today, after an extraordinary decade. Charlie will be on the blog tomorrow evening from around 7pm, to reminisce on that incredible era, answer questions and give an opinion or two. These are always great sessions, tune in and enjoy.
Five years ago today we lost Pablophanque, the first guy who said, “We need to bring Kano home”. Pablo was one of the few who made Celtic Quick News what it became in the early days. He made many friends here, who miss him still, and a profound impact on our community.

So supporting Celtic means you can’t have a critical opinion about any of the club’s players especially the captain. Utter pish
No,you are missing the point.Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion,just as I am when I say your opinion is “Crap”.Forgive me if I take the opinion of every manager,club and International,who have ever managed Broony,and sing his praises over a no mark,like myself,like you.
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
If someone disagrees with your opinion then they are either a nomark in my case or a hun in the case of BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS. Insulting people who do not agree with you seems to be your default position.
As far the opinion of other managers, I prefer to rely on the evidence of my own eyes rather through the eyes of others.

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-rollin’ on over the plains,
***********************************************
New manager on the way ?
Who is it ?
Corkcelt
Should just about have sobered up for the Dons game the next day.HH
Still think Anthony Stokes has unfinished business at Celtic Park.
107 starts for Celtic and 58 goals .
Bring him home and get him twinned with the Griff.
Sign Winnall and Grigg and we are flying again.
Bring back Henderson,get Janko in,promote the likes of Regan Hendry and McCart,Kelleher and Calvin Miller.
A decent manager who takes no nonsense,creates a fighting fit team and goes for his own players and tells Lawwell and Park to GTF.
That’s it.Sorted.
Manager?
Gary Caldwell. .ably assisted by kev j carrying the Tricolour roon Celtic Park for 90 solid minutes. Magical thoughts
….3 coats.

Was surprised to find Caldwell is still only 34.

Big cup winners,
I have a strong,strong inner feeling Caldwell knows the game.
I really do.
A rugged player but did an excellent job for us.Sounds like Jock Stein.
Aye.Get him in..;-)

Goddam, its Pistol Pete & Pauly the Kid to bring

The only unfinished business Stokes has is clearing out his locker…
I’ve been a supporter of Stokes – even when Hooper was on fire my gut instinct was to build around Stokes as I felt he was a longer term prospect – I also had a high regard for his ability – he has always lacked pace so I was confident he’d shine with Hibs at a lower/slower level but I’ve not been overwhelmed watching him.
I also feel he has shot himself in the foot both off field carry on and his less than gracious words when going on loan.
That said I think he’s a good player but not good enough to go forward with.
He is however better than Cifcti, CKR etc so should feel hard done to.
I’d get GMS retrained as a striker…
My friends in Celtic,
Our new manager has to be a respected figure. A figure that can galvanise our support and reinvigorate our enthusiasm.
His assistant may be someone with potential given time, someone like Gary Caldwell.

Doris Days son produced the first 2 Byrds albums.

Doris Day and 2 Byrds as the management team…
What’s that? No, I canne dae the Times crossword…
too cryptic

DD,
That’s a given.
Nearly two years since I was home.
Shocking really.
When yer ma and da go things are never the same and you sort of lose touch with things.
However,I have plenty of relatives and friends who I must see shortly

Dirk Boerigter, are you reading this?
I see Turkeybhoy is still ranting away about him being a real Celtic supporter and anyone who disagrees with him is a Hun.
Oh dear.
On Broony
He looked injured and not fully fit…
He was thrown in by the management team because they had no other holding midfield option…
Failure of management not player…
The fact he has been willing to play through the pain is a mark of his commitment…
He should not be hung out to dry for being prepared to play through the pain barrier…
The best players are rarely the best captains and vice versa…
Let’s see what he can do next season before slaughtering him.
HH
Brendan Rodgers interviewed on SSN asked about the Celtic job. He said all his family were supporters and how famous a club we are. He did not rule out him taking the job.
Cultsbhoy,
Normally I am in total agreement with you my friend.
Not this time regarding Stokes.
His goal scoring record speaks for itself.

Dirty Dirk just hightailed it outa town on the

Thank God.

I believe with Ronny moving on is Stokes best chance to come back to celtic but rumours that he is a poor trainer if correct that would have to change.Stokes is not a bad player but it appears he lacks a bit of common sense. Players I think will be moved on are Commons Allan Fisher Henderson Mulgrew Ambrose joe Hanson Cifti Scepovic Cole this would reduce the budget for wages which cold be used for new incoming players. H.H.
Stokesy ‘ shot himself in the foot’
