They should take the lot...a rolling audition. I'd also add Neil Lennon to the list

I wouldn't get too cocky. All Rangers have to do is appoint a European manager whose team has brushed Postegoclu's Celtic aside with contemptous ease over the past couple of seasons. God knows there's plenty to choose from.

How do they justify the Orange kit now I wonder. ?

Newsreaders who can't pronounce 'December' correctly ! You may be John McKay but December does not have a 'Z' in it.

I'll enjoy the novelty of watching a football competition where we don't know who's going to win it before it starts.

I'm maddeningly inconsistent...

And thankfully the rest of us have seen 'your club' get beat, spanked, toyed with, humiliated, by a variety of European journeymen in recent seasons and have thoroughly enjoyed the ritual shredding of your laughable delusions of European grandeur. And with Baby Jock still at the helm the fun of seeing Celtic embarrassing themselves annually in Europe is guaranteed to last at least another season. So, we too, are good !!!!

Shhhhh...... don't say that....thinking they alone are victims of some sinister anti-Celtic conspiracy makes them feel important and special. Don't take it away from them. It's all they've got !

Another week, another collection of moans and wails and conspiracies from Celtic when they win . Such a joyless, souless existence being a Celtic supporter, you wonder why any lover of all that makes life worth living would bother putting themselves through such a hellish mill ....

If the SFA sanction Neilson for that they'd have to do the same to Baby Jock for his similar outburst and they would never move against Celtic.

Featuring Tommy Gemmell and Arthur from On The Buses.

He stepped into 'one o thae new fangilt time machines' on October 5th 1934 not expecting for a second it would work. Suddenly he's in goal for Falkirk in August 1962 and all his team mates look like Clark Gable or Gary Cooper. Little wonder he looks so pissed off. !

Though the game itself may be no big deal I do feel the occasion, the anniversary is a massive thing. We don't tend to celebrate history very well in regards to football, indeed there's very little sense of the history of the game. Too much fixation on the SPFL / Premiership etc. The fact that all international football flows from that game in Glasgow in 1873 is mind-blowing. FIFA really should be getting behind this and flying over all the true greats of international football that are still alive to parade before the game to tell the world that Scotland gave international football to the world. 'Birthday Caird Pish' it may be, but when you consider how many people throughout the globe will, for good or ill, be touched by international football over the next few weeks I think that's something our wee country should be proud of.

They are young... they know not of the ways of old. It certainly was the biggest match in the Scottish football calendar when I was growing up but id say the 1977 Wembley game was the last time that was true.

Nah !! You think so !!??

Scottish plain bread....toasted under a gas grill. Beans, heat them as you like, or indeed cold.

Routine win I suspect. I certainly hope so. Motherwell will try but Baby Jock's got Celtic purring very nicely on all cylinders, certainly on the home front. Motherwell 0, Celtic 5. Scorers ? Who cares. Willie Wallace ? Tommy Callaghan ? Vic Davidson ? Some new guy ? Either way it's C E L T I C Celtic, Celtic on the ball. !!

A near perfect illustration of the workings of Postegoclu's mind on European nights.

Early Syd era Pink Floyd way more interesting a topic than anything Scottish football can throw up !

"European football's something Ange can't explain...."

Imagine the media shit storm if Robbie Neilson (or indeed any other manager in Scotland other than Van Bronkhorst)had said the same thing substituting 'Celtic away' for 'Hearts away'. Through intense pressure from papers and broadcasters Neilson would have been hauled before the SFA for bringing the game into disrepute. However, the establishment club and their rude, classless and , in Europe, utterly inept manager, are free to spread their bile, poison and paranoia throughout Scottish football and Scottish society unfettered.

Well, he's far and away the best manager in Scotland so he more than deserves the spotlight.

Holy Cow !! I think I've been trolled by a 'HughKeevinsalike'. More fool me but it just seemed so believable, so logical . And of course it's not as if Hugh Keevins has any kind of track record of telling lies about the Old Firm. A thousand aplogies. Oh well, European humiliation again for Celtic next season then. Could have been so different. Neil at Lennoxtown in the week of Bayern coming to Celtic Park, cracking open a case of Magners and belting out a verse or two of 'The Merry Ploughboy' while organising the bus and how to park it. Never mind, we can but dream.

Big Ange to do what Big Ange does best....dishing out meaningless scuddings to teams with a fraction of the resources at his disposal. He Never Stops.

You'll need a new manager for that. And it may well be happening. According to Hugh Keevins, "talks between Neil Lennon and the Celtic board are 'at an advanced stage' for the ex-Parkhead favourite to return in a 'European Consultancy' role, which will in effect have Lennon taking charge of the team in European competition freeing up Postegoclu to focus 'laser like' on securing a domestic double treble."
