not bad given some other names in the mix |
let's have some credit sent the way of the board for their successful transfer policy.
Remember the 'disaster' transfer window, all the moaning about bringing only Adam Idah in on loan from Norwich? He played a massive role in the title win.
Money saved in 2023/2024 can be put to use in this season's transfer window.
Board have played a blinder.

CCV as been a failure at every club he's been at but Celtic.
Moyes available in the summer bhoys...

if you watch rangers goal, only dessers jumped, scales and ccv were both planted
conspiracy theory: celtic boys were told to not humiliate the opposition [2nd half], just do enough to get the job done |
incredible choke from Rangers. One of the biggest in Old Firm history. Were they ever favourites??
Congratulations again Celts.

Great result but should have buried them today, Like Asagi sold out as risk wasn't worth thinking about at one point but I'll take 3 in a row and just hope the money ploughed into Harbour Energy gives similar result to the team. |
listened to some rangers podcasts: celtic poor, rangers worse [starting to question manager's decision making] |
couldn't keep a clean sheet, nor could they score against ten men.
Another penalty missed. All poor management and performance.
Nevertheless, massive results to congratulations to the Celtic fans.
Yes, this neutral is pretty sick that he sold just as Rangers conspired to chuck it away.

'Celtic Park erupts on the final whistle. The hosts have nine of ten fingers on the trophy after going six points clear with six to play for. The champions had so many chances to stretch their lead in the second half, including a missed penalty, and it got a bit twitchy at the end as 10-man Rangers chucked men forward'
how many missed penalties this season? |
'Striker Giorgos Giakoumakis says he left Celtic for Atlanta United because the Scottish champions refused to give him a pay rise. (Record)' |
what's he playing at?
'Rodgers warns Rangers to expect 'best version of Celtic' ' |
so far, it's looking sticky... r0-1k, 39mins gone
'This is one of the craziest opening spells to a Scottish football match I can remember. VAR checks every few minutes; an own goal by James Tavernier at one end; the Rangers captain then missing a penalty at the other, with Killlie down to 10 men for the Joe Wright handball (awarded by VAR) that led to the spot-kick award. Phew. Can't take your eyes off this for a second'
3 to go
-- 4-1 pts gap and gdiff unchanged over the weekend |
4 to go
celtic ahead on points, goals scored, goal diff, head to heads (2w, 1d) despite the above, finely balanced |
interesting views |
celtic can't hold a lead
That's Rodgersball. |
3-3 celtic can't hold a lead |
dundee 0-0 rangers
3pt gap and +5 gd [full pendulum swing back to celtic]
'Rangers have now only won two of their latest eight games.'
'For the second game in a row, a stranger to Scottish football would have had difficulty picking out this Rangers team as the title contenders.' |
'Liel Abada says his first goal in the MLS was a sweet moment after a "very, very difficult time in Scotland" as the former Celtic winger was named man of the match in Charlotte's 3-2 win against Toronto. (Scottish Sun)'
-- cheerio! |
dundee-rangers the last game before the split fa cup weekend follows |
the pendulum swinging back a little bit...
so far... ross 3-1 rangers IF rangers lose, the view from the other side should be interesting
the -2 gd would be like an xtra point for celtic in such a tight race
-- edit
3-2
'There's a handball check. It hits Brandon Khela, who's only just on. The slow-mo reveals... it does hit the hand of Khela. It's unfortunate, the ball sails in from a cross, skims off the head of Eli King and hits Khela quite accidentally, but these tend to get given.' |
2-0 up at half time away from home to your title rivals and you don't close out the win???
Absolutely pathetic. Rodgers' career is littered with this stuff. When did one of his teams ever do it to someone else in a game that mattered???
"Criminal" defending allowed Palace to come back from 3-0 down with just 11 minutes remaining thanks to Damien Delaney's goal and two from Dwight Gayle.
Although a point took Liverpool back to the top of the table with one match to play, City have a game in hand."
