‘There’s no business like show business’ the old song went. Some things never grow old, just ask super heroes, now to be found more on Netflix than children’s comics. This…
Morning,all. I know some of you couldn’t give a XXXX about Australia and the people who live there,but I’ve long had a soft spot for them. Even though I’m no…
Morning,all. I described last night’s performance as being solid but uninspiring. And it was all of that. Our defence was solid,featuring probably the best four players on the pitch,while the…

Morning,all. While I’ll merrily continue to put on a fixed odds coupon on occasion and enter my selections into whichever of the predictor competitions I’m in,my days of the optimistic…
It’s the most important of the least important things, this game we love, and gather here and elsewhere to discuss. For some their team can run their lives, some aren’t…
This wee tale was inspired, not by the 10CC song, but by a response from ATOB to one of my recent posts. She outlined the lengths she went to to…
120 years ago … our favourites had no games 130 years ago ( no league games … again!) So, we skip on a decade to 1902 month where we played…
Morning,all. Only a fortnight ago,I said this about G-Mak in the article. “When he starts scoring as well,this lad will be a sensation for us.” Mind you,I also said that…

Morning,all. Many of you will have noted the optimistic slant to yesterday’s article,but that didn’t last very long! In truth,I did not see last night’s result coming-but it didn’t take…
Morning,all. Ange Postecoglu has done what many Celtic managers have done,and that is to keep our club in Europe after Christmas. How I wish our voters had managed to keep…

Another departure from the usual 3 match review, as there is so much press coverage of this important game in our unbroken history. 130 Years ago … 1892 And we…
Morning,all. Our mean streak continued on Sunday with another clean sheet-and Big Joe must be casting glances at Fraser Forster’s record of 24 of them almost a decade ago-and an…
Relentless. Machine-like. Supreme. Entertaining. Unstoppable. Take your pick or add your own, I think all of the above could summarize this particular Celtic team. There’s only one word missing,…
The midweek points haul was very, very significant indeed, I’m sure you would agree.But would you agree Sundays three points are equally important? Momentum swung around 8.30pm Wednesday evening,…
Morning,all. I mentioned on Tuesday the fiasco that the rounds of fixtures has thrown up,that as the league stands,Celtic will have played the entirety of the rest of the top…
Morning,all. And what a fine morning it is too. God is in His heaven,and all is right with the world. Not only did we scud the huns last night,we went…

Morning,all. Today’s title certainly does not refer to the average Celtic supporter’s opinion of the transfer window so far. About a third of the way through it,and I’m considering taking…
