Were you there when it all came together and we ran the Mob ragged all day? As the Huddle broke out, they were left in no doubt that the Celtic were up for the fray. o/ Were you there when it all came together and we closed ranks as never before? As we huddled and…
Where Do We Go From Here, Bhoys?
As we reflect on yesterday’s comprehensively satisfying performance and result – and bask in its Monday feel-good factor – we have at the same time to ask ourselves the hard question: Is this is not a familiar position in all-too-recent history? Too often (and most painfully) such a position of strength has been squandered, at…
Oh-Oh, Ghord …
Tangible proof, if it were needed, that Gordon Strachan’s ill-advised, albeit carefully considered, comments this past week will be turned directly against Celtic, came when Walter Smith used them to support his hardly surprising view that the idea of anti-Celtic bias in Scottish football is a myth. The spin being applied is interesting and disarmingly simple. Pained…
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…
Here We Go … Here We Go … Here We Go
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)

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…
