Well, it’s almost upon us … so close, you can almost taste it! The most important game of the season so far, a chance to put some real distance between us and them. Good Luck, Bhoys! Go for it! Good Luck, too, to Marc Crosas in his new life away from Celtic. We didn’t see…

I Just Can’t Get Enough (A Celtic Battle Cry)
Every city can boast a big ‘Derby’, where the rivalry’s keen, fierce and tough; but in Glasgow it hums, to flutes, whistles and drums – and know what? I just can’t get enough! It’s been dubbed the ‘Old Firm’ – but I hate that, ’cos it’s steeped in sectarian guff; and it makes me feel…
Oh, Ghord …
Disappointing to read Gordon Strachan’s dismissive press comments on the question of establishment bias against Celtic, “Dallas-gate” etc. Of course, our former manager is entitled to his opinion, even if it is seriously at odds with much of mainstream Celtic thinking, not to mention the overwhelming majority of fans (paranoia notwithstanding) and the ever-growing mountain of clear and…
The Mighty Atom – A Celtic Homage
Of all the names that linger in the mind, of all the epic feats that still reverb around the Celtic pantheon of greats and legends true, there’s surely none surpasses “Patsy”, who can never die. The cloak of immortality’s reserved for only that elite selected few, so deeply etched into the hearts of those they…
Moonlight Over Paradise
On the night Neil Lennon was confirmed as Celtic manager, after an intense day of negotiations, he went out alone into the empty vastness of Celtic Park for a quiet moment of reflection … just to catch his breath at the end of a long, hard day and take in the enormity of it all….
Midfielders – The Ultimate Celtic Squad
This is such a vast and contentious area that it would be well-nigh impossible to treat it in the same way as previous categories. Therefore, instead of trying to make a sweeping analysis of potential contenders, I intend simply to express some personal preferences, allied to a broad-brush look at a range of other possibles…
What Big Jock Knew
Aye, Big Jock knew, all right … knew the anguish of ostracism for having the temerity to choose Celtic. Something else he knew … that “Honest Mistakes” don’t matter when you’re so far ahead they’re rendered impotent. Another thing he knew … that being “Celtic-Minded” is a badge of pride, not shame. He also knew…
Rangers 2 Celtic 2 – A Sober Reflection
No, honestly – stone-cold sober … and time for a swift re-appraisal. Now that the dust has started to settle and had some time to watch the replays, absorb the after-match comments and reflect on the afternoon’s events, I’d say they actually got out of jail, big time. The stats alone tell a story ……
Scottish Cup R5 Rangers 2 Celtic 2
Celtic put up a truly heroic performance today to recover from the set-back of conceding early and losing Fraser Forster just before half time. Thought the sending-off was a bit harsh, by the way … but there you are. But for a dubious offside call against big Sammy and a rather fortuitous “great save” by…
COLOURFUL MEMORIES
Learning, on the eve of a Rangers/Celtic Scottish Cup clash, that the game would be the first ever Scottish club match to be televised in 3D; and that a former meeting of the ancient foes in 1969 was the first Scottish Cup Final to be broadcast in colour, afforded an opportunity to revel in that…
