IF the last week has proven anything, it is that there is one defining characteristic that separates this Celtic squad from the one currently in place at Rangers.
WHAT a hugely disappointing night it was on Thursday for Celtic. There is no dressing it up, it was a really poor display from them over the piece, and given how wasteful they were at one end and how careless they were at the other, they probably got what they deserved.
BEING able to study video replays of the yellow card that Inverness Caledonian Thistle player James Keatings received for simulation last weekend didn't exactly help an SFA fast track tribunal to reach a correct decision.
THE league may not yet be over, and absolutely no one within the club will even be caught saying this, but it is now Celtic’s title to lose.
AS you may know, I’m currently at home recovering from a kidney transplant, but luckily, I have been able to keep up with how Celtic have been getting on through the television coverage as I get myself back to full health. And it has been quite a pick-me-up to watch them over their last two away fixtures at Hamilton and Motherwell.
JUST after I became Motherwell manager, we had a game against Kilmarnock down at Rugby Park. In those days, I liked to watch the game from the stand to get a better perspective on what was going on, so I sat up in the Director’s box.
THERE is a possibility that the arrival of Patryk Klimala at Celtic may mean that Leigh Griffiths and Vakoun Issouf Bayo – or perhaps both – will look to get out of the club and get some games this month.
SCOTT Sinclair may have been out of the frame this season, but he won’t be a forgotten man at Celtic now that he has left the club.
THE Old Firm game was a huge disappointment for Celtic. There’s no other way to sum it up.
IF football managers can be taken to task by the SFA for questioning the integrity of referees why can’t club chairmen who cast aspersions on a player’s honesty be disciplined?
