I'm old enough to remember when neither Scottish or FA Cup Final was shown live in Scotland and around about 9:30 am when England was 'treated' to interviews with the players on the coach to Wembley and 'Its a Cup Final Knockout' viewers in Scotland settled in for crown green bowling from Anstruther and suchlike until 5 0'Clock.

Seems about right. How long do you need to have just to say, 'Inverness really need to score first to have any chance".

He can't....so instead will employ an amusing little 'cartoon' of Barack Obama looking perplexed.

No more rain, no more rain, no more rain !!! Do keep up

It's certainly not, in my opinion, EPL 'snobbery' that would prevent Tottenham taking a chance on Postegoclu but rather the very high failure rate of successful Old Firm managers when they go down to England. From Billy McNeil to cuddly foul mouthed Uncle Walter, Neil Lennon to Steven Gerrard 'old firm legends' exposed as duds at a more demanding level is a recurring theme over the decades. Only Brenden Rogers initial years at Leicester bucked the trend. That coupled with Mr Postegoclu's frankly appalling record in Europe with Celtic(which suggests that outside of his Scottish comfort zone he is essentially clueless) would, quite rightly, have Spurs fans on the verge of insurrection were Angie Baby to become their manager. It would certainly be a major risk.

"A really good reason to remove it" ? The Scottish top flight is stale, tedious, predictable garbage.......that good enough for you ? And it's a direct result of playing every one else four times a season and the stress and fear of failure which comes with artificially created 'meaningful games'.

Encouraging to see more people calling out the nonsense of this hysterical 'we can't have meaningless games' argument. All this crazed desire to have every game 'mean something' does is create fear and tension, stifle creative, expansive football and discourage the gradual introduction of promising young players. It certainly does not improve the quality of Scottish football.

If you're happy with substandard uncompetitive drivel masquerading as a 'top flight football league' then good for you and so glad you've a smile on your face. But personally I find the passive acceptance of this shite far more boring.

If the kind of vile secterian cretinism that Glasgow has had to endure each May for the last few years is to become an annual 'event' then why not have it within Celtic Park ?

Don't you fret now....

"Cheers mates. That's me off to Spurs now...must dash , other badges to kiss , other fans to patronise...."

And maybe if he finds the questioning of the Scottish media tedious and tiresome, which I believe he's right to, he'd rather they ask him just that. Although my hunch is that he'd get even more boorishly rude and stroppy if any Scottish reporter dared quiz him on why the all conquering Celtic of Scottish football fail so spectacularly and consistently in Europe.

Anyone who buys a baseball cap and wears it who isn't American and doesn't play baseball ...

Shang A Lang !

Exactly this.....

Is the standard of football, the standard of home grown player, the results of our clubs in Europe and the standard of our international team better or worse to than it was when we had two leagues which everyone playing each other twice ? If so stick with what we have. Or deal in reality and accept that for whatever reason the old 18 team top flight was scrapped it has not worked. And if you think our top flight is 'competitive' , well........

Sky need ! Sky need ! What about what Scottish football needs ? I'm pretty certain that Sky would like 4 Liverpool v Man Utd league games a season or Sky's Spanish equivalent 4 Barcelona - Real league games a season. Maybe, just maybe, we don't need Sky.

I'd say that Celtic fans should be bothered about Saturday's result/performance because it shows when an opposition (even one as bang average as Glasgow Rangers) get among them and deny them time and space they fall apart like a cardboard suit in the rain. It's why they have been and will continue to be, cannon fodder in Europe. But that's not really news I suppose.

Only on European nights.

Commentary on the second half by Jimmy Jewell !!??? Expert analysis in the studio with Hylda Baker and Arthur Mullard.

'Manager or The Year' should be a recognition of 'exceptional achievement' . Debatable, given how many to they've won in the past few years, if there is anything 'exceptional' about Celtic winning a treble. And , you never know, they may only win a double...

You're on to something there young Sandman....

Yep exactly.....and I accept the illogicality of it.

Seeing as you asked like an utter charmer...... no. !!!

Clearly nothing to do with staunch Presbyterian edicts as the Celtic of the Stein era had a similar no facial hair rule. Check Alfie Çonn at Spurs and subsequently at Celtic for confirmation..
