Both Bobo Balde and Derek Riordan have expressed their desires to leave Celtic Football Club as soon as they possibly can, but for very different, and quite honestly, frustrating reasons.
Balde is basically leeching off the Parkhead club these days, having refused a short term loan deal to Sunderland near the end of the summer transfer […]

I’ve been a little weak on non-matchday related activities lately, so let’s round up the news that’s currently swirling around the Celtic camp.
Giant Dutch target man Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink is back in training with the green and white. He could get a run out tomorrow in the CIS Cup against Hearts at Celtic […]

Aussie legend Scott McDonald fired Celtic to a 3-0 victory over Motherwell at Celtic Park on Saturday, coming back to haunt the club that made him famous. McDonald, who was curiously left on the bench for the midweek Champions League tussle with Benfica, looked to prove a point to the gaffer, and this performance […]
Benfica 1-0 Celtic: Bhoys in the Cellar

Celtic failed to hold on for a point they deserved when Oscar Cardoso chested down a nice through ball and lofted over the onrushing Artur Boruc in the 87th minute. Cardoso hit the woodwork twice in the second half, so in some ways it was a just reward for his play throughout the match.

By: JT | 8 Comments
The landscape of Champions League Group D will become significantly more clear today as Celtic and Benfica go head-to-head at Lisbon’s Stadium of Light trying to stake their claim to a strategic position in the group as we head into the second half of the phase. Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk looks to prove that they’re for […]
Rangers 3-0 Celtic: Ibrox Embarrassment
By: JT | 3 Comments
I suppose the reason that the Glasgow derby starts at 1230 local time is to limit the potential for alcohol infused altercations between supporters of Celtic and Rangers. The real troopers just go right on through from Friday night into Saturday and sleep it off the rest of the day. I wish I’d […]
The Old Firm V: Match Preview
By: JT | No Comments
Tomorrow morning at the ungodly hour of 0730 est, the 286th league installment of football’s greatest derby takes place at Ibrox between Rangers FC and Celtic FC. Both squads look to be decimated by injury, although Celtic appear to be a bit worse off than the Light Blues at the moment. After nine […]
The Old Firm IV: A Neutral’s Take
By: JT | 4 Comments
When I was traveling through Spain this spring, the conversations I had with locals at tavernas inevitably led to football. It struck me that these folks supported their local teams to the death, but also had insightful and strong opinions when it came to the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
I was […]

Unfortunately, the positive energy that’s been surrounding Scottish football has waned a wee bit after yesterday’s 2-0 loss away to Georgia. The Scots were missing quite a few of their key players, including three Celtic stars in Scott Brown, Gary Caldwell, and Paul Hartley. I think its probably fair to say that Brown’s […]

By: JT | No Comments
The Old Firm isn’t just about crunching challenges, scuffles in the middle of the park, and nasty banter (and sometimes left hooks) between supporters. With the intensity that goes into the build-up and playing of each Old Firm derby, its good to know that from time to time, we can laugh at ourselves. […]
