Although Celtic’s first European tie for next season isn’t until late August, some of Scotland’s other representatives begin their quest a full 4 weeks earlier. So, I thought it might…

I warn you now, if you don’t like nostalgia then check back in on Monday. Alas I publish this article on the day either an Italian or French club…
It should have been an unforgettable memory, the climax of ten months slave-like devotion, a celebration of the joys the beautiful game can deliver. In under a minute the red…
Two outta three ain’t bad as the old crooner sang. As we put another campaign in the rear view mirror there’s a tinge of disappointment over failure to secure the…
Celtic left Hampden having not given a Treble Yell but rather a whimper, and left their supporters stunned with what they just witnessed. The weather brought a slick passing…

All good things come to an end. The 24/25 SPL was a good thing, and shall end happily exactly how we all wished it would end, lifting the League trophy,…
It’s funny how things work out. With Hibs and the Dons in the last three matches someone somewhere was surely hoping these tough fixtures would have a major impact on…

I smelt a statement victory, almost inevitable I blogged on Saturday, and so it proved. For myself the most pleasing aspect was the spread of goals, all three areas contributing….
Today’s clash has an air of predictability about it, and not in the negative sense. Celtic are at home to a much lesser team and quite simply must win. Nothing…

The reverberations from last weekend’s derby defeat still continue, I’ve been enlightened scrolling through all the different takes, answers, and opinions thrown up by the sudden introspection.Anything can happen in…
The big one didn’t deliver any points for the Champions elect, rather a multitude of questions. In football you might get away with one oversight, a single weak spot. Enter…
Possession versus counter attack, emotionally drained versus physically stretched, the good in spurts versus the long distance runner, both European knockout stage teams.It’s a big clash alright, but it’s really…
I’ll write about the football on Saturday, and instead try to look at the big derby clash in general, but with the green tinted glasses off and hopefully through objective…
