Hail Hail the New Captain! Its Stephen McManus!
By: JT |

Today was one heckuva day for Celtic central defender Stephen McManus. He was named Captain of the squad, and put pen to paper on a new four-year contract. As I discussed a few weeks back, this is the right move for a number of reasons. I always prefer the captain to be [...]

Boruc Out Up To Three Weeks, Andy Cole to Parkhead?
By: JT | 4 Comments
Its on. Finally the time has arrived to do away with excuses for poor performances, and arguments about who is atop the power rankings of the SPL. The matches matter now, and in the buildup to the season opener against Kilmarnock, there is bad injury news. Your hero and mine, the Holy [...]
Its Waterslide Sunday and Celtic 1-0 Parma
By: JT | 1 Comment
Sorry for the lame link dump today, but its “Waterslide Sunday” in my world. I love those stupid things, but kids annoy me in general, so I don’t waterslide nearly as much as I should. Today I will tolerate those little rascals though, for I was born to waterslide.
Aiden McGeady scored the late [...]
Ref Payments & An Italian Club. Like An Ordinary Sunday in Serie A.
By: JT | 1 Comment
Tomorrow’s friendly with fallen Serie A giant Parma was nearly called off over payments (or lack thereof) to referees. Apparently there is a bit of a “gentleman’s agreement” among the clubs and the match officials that for high profile friendlies they will get paid the same rate as an SPL match. The Celts [...]
Magpies Stuff Celts, No Need to Worry

That look from King Artur says it all. A frustrating first-half performance against Newcastle saw Celtic down 3-0 at the break, and an improved display during the second half left the final score at 4-1.
Scott Brown has become the heartbeat of the squad already, although it doesn’t really look like his incredible [...]
Celts Visiting St James’ Park Tonite!
By: JT | 3 Comments
I’ll keep my remarks relatively brief today, because I need to mentally prepare myself for the first meeting of the new season for the Supporters Club. It’s Newcastle hosting the Celts, and since its an afternoon match around here, the bar will be open. Normally we have to wait till 11 when there’s [...]
Superb Keano-Kill Michael Owen Cartoon!

In honor of tomorrow’s friendly for the Bhoys against the perpetually injured Little Mickey Owen and Fat Sam’s Geordies, I implore you to view the following bit of animated genius:
That noise Owen makes after Keano smears him is priceless!
These two are destined to be enemies forever. First Liverpool-ManUtd and now N’Castle-Sunderland. Amazing how [...]
Celtic Shorts 07.25.07–Naismith to Parkhead?
By: JT | 4 Comments
It seems that Rangers have dropped their interest in hotshot, 20 year-old Kilmarnock striker Stephen Naismith after having four “final offers” turned down, the last being of the £1.5m variety. Speculation is now rampant that Celtic is about to make a move for the man valued at £2m by his club. After perusing [...]
Lessons from the Trip to the States
By: JT | 1 Comment
The Celtic Football Club recently completed a two match, week-long trip to these United States, and while its difficult to draw too many concrete conclusions from what we witnessed during the friendlies, there are some things that are fairly obvious. Let’s start from the back:
• Artur Boruc is indisputably world class. There [...]
Chicago Fire 1-1 Celtic FC Highlights
By: JT | No Comments
Highlights from Celtic’s less than impressive draw with the Chicago Fire yesterday. Deek Riordan’s goal was of undeniable quality as was the play of Cuauhtemoc Blanco making his debut for the Fire. The Hoops have some work to do. Its a traveling day for me, I’ll catch up on all the goings [...]
