Criminalization Of Celtic Support Must Stop!!!

Sometimes a story appears in the paper that is so barmy you are almost tempted to believe the writer is at the wind up. Many a time upon reading an article you're double checking the date to make sure it's not April 1st and you're not the victim of some cruel newspaper joke. Such a scenario occurred today when the media reported the outcome of a Celtic fan's trial. The man in question had attended the Celtic vs Hamilton game and indulged in a spot of singing during the match. What song was this terrorist sympathizer singing?: Broad Black Brimmer? Go On Home British Soldiers? Nope! This man's crime was to join other fans in a chorus of "Roll Of Honour" Let that sink in for a second and then tell me what is offensive about that song? Better yet tell me what crime was committed. Nope? Well don't feel bad because neither can I. Somebody could though and you it doesn't take a genius of city trader proportions to work out who.

Sevco Big Mouth All The Motivation We Need

Ah their at it again bless em.... Not content with their pre-season rantings about winning leagues and getting back to where they belong, our dear friends over at Ibrox are making some more seriously ill-judged statements in regards to the upcoming League Cup semi-final against us. Who is this latest misguided soul? A certain Harry Forrester of Doncaster Rovers fame that's who! Harry was in the Evening Times (I know I know) today giving his opinion on the match and he stated it will be a game the players will relish. Guess that's if you manage to get a start son eh?

Players Must Ignore Media's Transparent Transfer Talk Agenda

How Predictable! Starved of any negative news coming out of Celtic Park lately, the smsm has reverted to type and brought out an old favourite in their collection of sticks to beat us with. Yes fellow Bhoys it's time for the Celtic players linked with other clubs game. The rules of this game are ever so simple. All you do is pick a player, preferably a fan favourite and publish an article about how they are being tracked by other clubs. Sounds simple right? Well there are a few illegal moves to avoid. Each article must contain no concrete evidence of a move and if you must use a quote from someone to back up your story then ensure it is an anonymous one.

Taking The Pressure Off

Things have changed big time at Celtic. Last season Leigh Griffiths banged in 40 goals to keep us ahead of the pack and it was largely thanks to this man's efforts that we eventually won the league at a canter. Make no mistake about it, had Griff gone down injured at a crucial stage of last season there is a chance Deila's Celtic team would have struggled to get over the line. Thankfully he didn't and the Bhoys secured their 5th consecutive league title. This season things are VERY different..

Ronny Deila: What Went Wrong?

Now that we are firmly into a new dawn under Brendan Rodgers and most of us have put the disappointment of last season behind us, I feel it is time to take a look at the man who won us the 4th and 5th league titles in what is hopefully our run to ten successive championships. Ronny Deila arrived at Celtic as a Peter Lawell Project and promptly set about transforming the whole club from top to bottom. It didn't matter that most Celtic fans were asking "Ronny who?" or that there were serious concerns about who was in charge of player recruitment, all the Norwegian wanted to do was create a new mindset among our squad and fans.. As it happens RD did transform the club... but not in the way he intended.

Dalglish Dressing Down Won't Bother Brown

Celtic and Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish has criticized Celtic captain Scott Brown for to his decision to retire from international football. Amazingly enough no one in the media thought it worthwhile to ask Kenny what Scott's decision has to do with him but that's another story. Kenny is only giving his opinion on something he was asked but it was hardly the savage verbal mauling the Daily Ranger was reporting with their headline indicating Brown had been "slapped down"

Move Over Moussa..... Here's The Real Dembele

Today has been one of those hectic days where you deserve a big bottle of the finest after completing a mammoth task. In my case the mammoth task was the setting up of this very blog and my bottle of the finest was a super chilled 75CL of Bucky.... A wine connoisseur I am clearly not!  While kicking back to read the various Celtic news of the day I managed to miss one of the most unusual stories from Celtic park in years: The strange tale of 13 year old Karamoko Dembele's debut for Celtic.
before I continue I feel it is worth pointing out that young Karamoko was not making his first appearance alongside other players his age. Oh no! The young Ivorian came on as a sub for the UNDER 20's!!
