Celtic have chop and changed their goalkeeper all season. New signing Vasilis Barkas hasn’t come in and commanded things straight away. Scott Bain has plenty of experience in the Scottish Premiership and while decent, he isn’t a standout keeper. Even young third choice Connor Hazard has had a shot in between the sticks but he […]

People can often criticise a referee and blame their decisions when a team loses a big match. Celtic manager Neil Lennon did as much as his side slumped to a 1-0 loss to city rivals Rangers, a defeat which leaves the current Scottish Premiership champions 19 points adrift of the current league leaders. “Morelos might […]

The Celtic board seem to be doubling down their support for current manager Neil Lennon, in spite of the protests from angry Hoops supporters this past weekend. But if this poor form continues then I have no doubts that the club’s hierarchy will have to come to the realisation that change needs to be made […]

I am not totally surprised to see Celtic being linked with former England and Manchester City number one Joe Hart (Source The Scotsman). It wouldn’t really surprise me if the Scottish Premiership champions were happy to see their name linked with the goalkeeper. They do need a new shot-stopper given Fraser Forster has returned to […]

After today’s news from UEFA, it’s looking increasingly likely that Celtic will be crowned the Scottish champions for the 2019-20 season (Source BBC Sport). Even if that were to happen, it doesn’t necessarily mean that next season is any closer. The SPFL will still have to wait and see when lockdown is lifted and when […]

‘I am feeling a bit awkward about this one. Celtic did brilliantly to beat them with a last-gasp winner first time around. I did flag up a 2-1 win, but they were fortunate.’ ‘In this one, do they attack, counter-attack or sit in? They are not a team that naturally sit in. Domestically, they have […]

Right let me start by stating that I get it if you’re a Rangers fan and you don’t like Odsonne Edouard, he’s your rivals star striker and he’s got a knack of scoring against you. The same goes for any other fan of another Scottish Premiership side. This is directed at people who should know […]

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 […]
