As three is the magic number here’s three potential talking points, hope you enjoy.   1,,,Leadership Recently I came across a Celtic Trust article on the creation of a fans…

It was dull, dreary, and unimaginative. Too many had gone through the motions in a lackluster first half in Perth, social media was absolutely scathing, and almost every player was…

We often despair about the state of Scottish football, and in any given week the different reasons why or who is to blame gets dissected. Today offers another reason, or…

Following the closure of the transfer window I penned the following,,, “Beating our poor to average quality neighbour should not disguise the fact we still look way short of the…

On Saturday lunchtime the two top teams down south settled for a draw in an underpar affair, and I said to myself after Champions League ties and International breaks are…

Today see’s two clashes at Parkhead, one on the field of play and one off it. Given our clubs supporters rarely stage or visibly protest against the board and their…

I’ve no real desire to write about todays AGM. Every year folk get ready to demand answers, that never comes. I can see the comments now, ‘that was a great…

Last week BillyBhoys article certainly asked the correct question, it’s unfortunate we don’t know the answer (yet) to see who called it right.   I previously had cautioned about the…

A fellow Tim emailed me his thoughts on a possible January hitman and I thought I would throw it out there for the group   ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,   Lawrence Shankland  …

This article came out of a casual encounter with my Rangers supporting (but not a hun) neighbour while we were putting the bins out a few weeks ago – days…

We awoke yesterday to the shock news Brendan was staring at a disastrous Christmas and the door. He’s leaving alright, leaving one hell of an impression on the team and…

Every season is essentially the same, a series of ups and downs, or peaks and troughs.Take this one so far,,Brendan returns with a warchest,,peak.The transfer window was more miss than…

This fixture had a bridge too far written all over it, our opponents were always going to be fired up with the intent of putting us to the sword, which…

I called for changes and he duly obliged. It was only common sense I figured, with the obvious Champions League do or die game on the horizon, and it worked…

Today offers the opportunity to extend our lead at the league table summit, something never to be sniffed at.It’s also a day for decisions, which as the title suggests pits…

This was going to be a purely football article until current events forced my hand, but the two shall combine later. As you know the Green Brigade are officially banned….

We suffered a hangover alright. Jaded, flat, uninspiring,,still didn’t get beat though.   It’s not uncommon for European ventures to take their toll, most clubs won’t win all six weekend…

Today sees the Hooped Heroes go seeking another domestic victory to end the hardest week yet with a magnificent seven point tally.   After two fine performances, today’s opponents are…

Tonight the Hooped heroes bravely go where no team would wish to be, up against one of the hardest teams to beat in football. With a sprinkling of talent, a…

Afterwards I thought to myself, you’ve not just witnessed one glimpse into the future there, but several. For starters I thought the bench looked strong and an option for almost every…

This is type of week you live for. Three massive clashes one after the other, a dream schedule, and plenty of excitement guaranteed.   First up comes my favourite away…

It’s somewhat timely our club of choice announced major upgrades for the youth via Barrowfield as the Scottish national team qualify for a major tournament twice in a row, a…

I’m as guilty as anyone of slamming certain aspects of Association Football, but when it comes to the European and World governing bodies, they actually look sane.   Let’s start…

We’ve tried so hard to keep politics off the blog, I knew it would wreck another once Indyref was announced, but now it’s affecting the club that’s nigh impossible. All…

To begin look at the existing European football setup. It served it’s purpose for a while, but groups of four alongside four predetermined tiers was always going to lock the…

The Hoops dished out a big dollop of revenge alright, served ice cold. Our charges delivered all 3 points in style, with some proper football on display.   I called…

I almost didn’t have the heart to write today’s article. After a European adventure it’s hard to ‘return to work’, but that’s where we find ourselves. Can’t let BMCUWP down…

It’s special, you know, watching the world famous green and white hoops under the floodlights in a huge game. I’m fortunate to honestly state I’ve experienced such an occasion, Laudrup…

I asked for 5 goals, there were 3 on the day, and the mighty Hoops also gained 3 extensions,,,Reo, the Matt, then points at the top of the league. As…

The Hoops visit the Steelmen today in the tastiest fixture of the weekend. 1st away to 4th in any league always holds promise, and with our team finding form the…

As you know by now, Tony Ralston has signed up long term, with Reo expected to follow suit. Setting aside the individuals, while looking at the contract tie-downs, a thought…

He’s been tasked with taking care of ‘our baby’, our precious Glasgow Celtic which we all love to some degree or another, and on Saturday he also found time to…

Offt! An injury crisis, a plastic pitch, a string of away games, a manager that wasn’t happy with the window, ditto a lot of the support,,,things just don’t get easier…

I missed the game due to work and time difference, came home and not having 90 plus minutes to spare I searched for the highlights in vain. Ok, comments it…

A was a good match, it was a good result in the end, but we aren’t a very good team at all (yet) and Saturday’s performance was another good example…

Today’s fixture is perfect on paper. After the break, and pre Champions League opener, at home to lowly opposition is pretty much exactly what you would wish for. The idea…

To add to my conundrum on the wings, covered in Mondays article, I’ve now realized we’ve a conundrum in midfield as well.   Under Ange, I didn’t particularly like the…

Daizen Maeda has thrown a spanner in my works with that Ibrox performance. After believing he was the second or third choice striker, he turned in probably his best ever…

It was one of the most anticipated windows of recent times.A new manager, a new transfer committee, a significant warchest and several very sellable assets, and of course Europe was…

It was destined to be strange, and so it proved. Rarely had a derby been scheduled so early in the season, perhaps even more rare was the fact both managers…

It’s clear there will changes to the Sunday line-up, the only question that needs answered is how much?Brendan has a real dilemma on his hands in this regard, the new…

Substitute War Room for Transfer Committee Room, where things cannot be easy going and relaxed. It’s now Wednesday, and we haven’t won the week so far. One target was delayed…

4 games, it took 4 games for Brendans side to be booked and his head called for online, after a draw and sitting top of the table. Sounds harsh right?…

You remember ol’ Murphy and his laws don’t you?  Well what does Murphys law suggest for this weekend’s fixture? You’ve guessed it, it doesn’t rain but it pours so Murphy…

Last night I watched the Ibrox mobs qualifier with the aim of hopefully learning something. Not only about our title rivals, but what is required when facing another decent European…

What a week that was. A win, an International signed up, and three new contracts getting offered to players,,,last week started okay and got better. And then the rain started….

I’m very happy to be meeting Killie on Sunday. Given our lacklustre form I certainly didn’t want a ‘stroll it’ Cup tie as we would learn little, Id much rather…

I’m really hoping this article gets replaced by our own welcome to the new Swedish rock(i) at the back today, so this potential appetizer will be fairly brief. We as…

I felt yesterday’s game was very typical. Typical of the Champions to walk away with 3 points. Typical of a team in transition because it wasn’t a sublime, silky performance. …

It’s tasty, it’s a classic, and it’s up next. Aberdeen vs Celtic is almost the quintessential top flight fixture north of the border, if it doesn’t get your juices flowing…
