Strachan Resigns; Lennon offered head job but signs with ‘gers

By: Matt | Comments 9 Comments

According to sources, Celtic has called a press conference to announce that Gordon Strachan has stepped down as head coach of Celtic. It is expected that Garry Pendry will be named as the interim manager until the summer. However, there is apparently more to the story than meets the eye. It seems [...]

Where we stand

By: Matt | Comments 6 Comments

Another derby, another disappointment this year. The first half Celtic had chances and a couple close calls, most memorable Scott Brown bouncing a header of the post. However, as expected Rangers packed in the back and after one Celtic attack, had a quick counter and the ball was in the net. If [...]

Rangers Preview

By: Matt | Comments 11 Comments

I do not think it is possible to understate the importance of this game. There is no way that Celtic can afford to fall back further in the league and still have hopes of winning the league. Of course there is the whole “One of the biggest rivalries in all of sports” factor [...]

Most memorable/infamous Moments is the Celtic-Rangers rivalry

By: Matt | Comments 8 Comments

Behind the politics, religious undertones, and fan stupidity at times, the Celtic-Rangers rivalry has seen some pretty good football at times and some very interesting moments, to say the least. It is hard to narrow them down to five, but I will try to do it. Obviously I will have a bias, but [...]

Celtic 3-Gretna 0: Better, I guess.

By: Matt | Comments 1 Comment

Nothing seems to cure all ails like a “trip” to Gretna. Celtic have been struggling for the last few weeks, but nothing that Celtic is going through could match what fans and members of Gretna have been facing. A chairman in the hospital, players not getting payed, and a “home park hours away [...]

Onions!

By: Matt | Comments 2 Comments

The last week has not been a banner one for the Bhoys in green and white and their followers. A disappointing draw with Dundee United, the Motherwell game cancelled and a chance to honor a Celtic and Motherwell great in Phil O’Donnell, and the Bhoys crashing out of the Scottish Cup. Personally, I [...]

Time for a Change? pt. 2

By: Matt | Comments 4 Comments

First, I’d like to thank Ian, Ryan, and Vini for some stimulating conversation in the comments on the last post. Some interesting stuff. Ryan brought up some good points about Massimo Donati. He was brought in essentially to replace Neil Lennon who, as previously mentioned, was not Pele by any means. [...]

Time for a change?

By: Matt | Comments 15 Comments

Well, the final whistle just sounded and after another terrible performance, Celtic have crashed out of the Scottish Cup, losing 1-0 against Aberdeen. It seemed like deja-vu all over again as poor finishing ruled the day for Celtic. Aberdeen will now go onto face Queen of South in the Semi-Finals at Hampden. [...]

Summer Transfer Rumors….in March

By: Matt | Comments 6 Comments

In the football world, the summer equals a time when the lack of football is replaced with either international games or summer transfer rumors. Probably my favorite of all time as a Celtic fan is the rumor that Becks was close to signing to play in the Hoops. It is not exciting stuff, [...]

Fir Park to host the Water Polo Event for the 2010 Commonwealth Games

By: Matt | Comments 8 Comments

Well, not really, but once again Celtic’s trip to Motherwell has brought the wrath of mother nature. The combination of Scottish Winter/Spring rains and two teams being the shite out of the Fir Park pitch has meant a laundry list of of cancellations for both Motherwell/Gretna. Now I know that Gretna’s recent troubles [...]
