Of Bhoys and Men – Just a Rangers’ Twerp

By: Cham | Comments No Comments

As reported in the Lancashire Telegraph, Kyle Lafferty is not for sale.
The 19 year old Northern Ireland talent, playing for Burnley FC in the Championship League, though offered the handsome sum of £500,000, has denied Celtic of his services. The Burnley boss Steve Cotterill has dismissed the large fee as outlandish and warns Strachan and [...]

Of Bhoys and Men – Jarosik says anything he wants.

Talkin’ with Strachan Jarosik.
So the quotable Celtic this week has been Czech international Jiri Jarosik, whose most recent goal at 81 put Celtic a goal ahead of home Hearts, and Celtic 17 points clear of second place Rangers, 20 points clear of third place Aberdeen.
Apparently, the man can do know wrong. 4 goals in 16 [...]

By: Cham | Comments No Comments

Heart of Midlothian – 1 (Mikollunas, 28)
Celtic – 2 (Vennegoor of Hes., 59; Jarosik 81)
