  1. O'Hara replacing Barbour at right back, Findlay finding form and Balatoni joining him at centre back, McHattie replacing Smith at left back, Slater returning to fitness to make the midfield work, McKenzie, Higginbotham and Kiltie playing behind Josh gives pace and a bit of creative spark and big donkey Josh figured out how to score.

    Cheers for that. Glad to hear that Findlay's adapting well to the Premiership too, I'm hoping he can make an impact for us next season

  2. DEFENDER Calum Waters had penned a development loan with Championship side Dumbarton until the end of the season.


    The young left-back captained the Under-17s in the Glasgow Cup final two years ago and has been a firm fixture in the Development Squad since then.


    His impressive displays saw him part of the first-team’s 2013 pre-season tour of Germany, a feat he repeated 12 months later in Austria. He also featured for Ronny Deila’s side against Sparta Prague during the winter break in Gran Canria in January.


    Everyone at Celtic wishes Calum every success during his time with the Sons

  3. I've proposed the idea of an "Offshore season ticket". A season ticket where you can attend any 10 home games in a season as you'll obviously be unavailable for the rest due to work commitments. I think only Aberdeen have something similar at the moment where you have to either be in the offshore industry or emergency services to be eligible. I've not been a season ticket holder since I moved to Glasgow 7 years ago but I'd certainly buy one if this became available.

    Celtic has an Overseas Season ticket. For 250 pounds you get five home games, a one-year subscription to Celtic TV (costs abouts 130 pounds) and for the remainder of the home game your seat is made available to the Celtic foundation for use by the unemployed/poor. It's not a great deal financially at all, but I'm thinking of getting one nonetheless.

  4. Just FYI I don't think St. Mirren did write a letter - Gary Teale also later apologized after reviewing the footage as - shock horror - the officials made a brilliant call in allowing the goal to stand. If you can be arsed checking I believe Gary Irvine scored the goal in question. Arquin was also sent off in this match for diving which was again a correct decision.

    HTH

    I hope you're not implying that our intrepid Scottish tabloid journalists have failed to check all their facts? I find it hard to imagine.

    Nah, I'll take your word for it.

  5. McLean is rated as one of the top refs in the land but here’s another Google game. Try sticking the ref’s name in along with any other club in Scotland and you’ll soon find he’s managed to put noses out of joint at just about every ground in the country.


    The whistler is public enemy No.1 at Aberdeen after he allowed a borderline assault on Jamie Langfield in the last second of the season which gifted Motherwell a goal that handed the Steelmen second spot – and robbed the Dons of £250,000 and two weeks less summer holidays with a July 2 Euro qualifier.


    Reds boss Derek McInnes raged: “It was a free-kick every day of the week and if he sees it again the referee will be embarrassed by it. The mistake hasn’t come from our players, it came from a decision and that makes it harder to take.”


    The Dandies were raging again at the same man when an apparently legitimate Adam Rooney goal was ruled out in the League Cup semi against Dundee United which cost the holders the chance to defend their trophy.


    Rooney blasted: “I’ve no idea why it was disallowed. The referee said it was for a push, but that seemed pretty soft to me.”


    Perhaps McLean is just a closet Don.


    Or maybe not. Inverness suffered on Sunday but it was a different story when McLean denied Caley Jags skipper Richie Foran an extra-time stonewaller against Aberdeen in the League Cup Final last season.


    Foran fumed: “We had a stonewaller on me turned down. You need brave referees and he made the wrong decision. I’m sure he’ll see that on TV and I’m expecting a phone call from him apologising.”


    Elsewhere McLean is also on St Mirren’s hitlist. Gary Teale went Tonto after a Dundee defeat and his club ended up writing to the SFA for answers.


    The Buddies boss said: “The first goal was offside. I’ve seen the pictures back again and how they can keep getting these decisions wrong beggars belief.”


    It as a similar story after Partick Thistle were on the end of dodgy Dundee United winner last October.


    Manager Alan Archibald said: “We got a decision against us that was two yards offside and nothing has really been made of it. It was a complete error from the linesman and he has now told us that.


    “I phoned John Fleming and he said: ‘It was the wrong decision, all we can do is apologise.’ That’s what happens, he’s only human, but it doesn’t make it any easier for us to take.”


    A month earlier it was Kilmarnock’s Allan Johnston blaming McLean for the League Cup exit to St Johnstone after Josh Magennis saw red.


    He said: “I don’t criticise referees and I know it is a big decision but you can’t afford to make mistakes like that. It has obviously cost us the result so it is really frustrating.
