I remember talking about Scott Brown about twelve years ago and looking at his game. He was a midfielder who couldn’t really pass the ball, who couldn’t really run with the ball, wasn’t the master of a tackle nor was he going to score lots of goals. Now I think that review is somewhat over-exaggerated, […]

Celtic were unceremoniously dumped out of the Champions League qualifying stages after they lost 4-3 at home to Romanian champions CFR Cluj (BBC Match Report). For the second season running the Scottish Premiership champs have failed to reach Europe’s elite and money spinning group stages. In both seasons it’s been Celtic’s own fault. Last year […]

A few weeks ago, I remember coming out and saying that people were going overboard when discussing Rangers start to the season. People were jumping all over the fact that it was their worst start in the league since 1989. Sure enough fast forward to today and Rangers are now in second place in […]

Celtic managed to overcome Rangers in their latest derby clash. It was a close one with the side from Govan twice taking the lead but the Scottish Premiership champions didn’t give up and in the end they had too much for their opponents. It’s how you react to set-backs that can define games, at times, […]

One complaint I had of Celtic in recent years has been their lack of Scottish talent. They always had one or two starters and then maybe a few more within the squad.

The tackle was late and reckless but the Rangers midfielder only received a booking. Even diehard Gers fans must have thought it merited a different colour of card. Celtic fans, players and some in the media […]

When you watched Celtic captain Scott Brown last season you got the feeling that the midfielder was winding down his career. The midfielder was sluggish, slow and struggling to get around the pitch during Ronny Deila’s last year in charge at Parkhead. But when new boss Brendan Rodgers walked through the doors at Celtic Park […]
