At the top of the blog, you’ll see the other SPL sides that have someone writing about them here at the Offside. There is of course a Rangers blog, a Caley blog, and the new Aberdeen blog. You also might see less active blogs of the two capital teams, Hibs and Hearts. [...]

Things might have just gotten interesting in the Diddy CIS Insurance Cup today as Celtic beat Kilmarnock to advance to the semifinals. After an entire post dedicated to how usually this competition is barely on the radar of both Celtic fans and players, this competition is on the verge of being a powder keg. [...]
CIS Cup 1/4 Finals and Naka to Japan?
By: Matt | 5 Comments
In recent history, whenever Celtic have reached this level of the CIS Cup they always seem to falter. A combination of the coaching staff not wanting players hurt, youth and reserve players filling out the line up, and a small club seeing its only chance of hardware usually are the reasons why this occurs.

Celtic-Hibs Party: Defence Optional
By: Matt | 2 Comments
Two of the most entertaining sides in the SPL got together in Celtic and Hibs yesterday and they did not fail to entertain. Celtic were able to keep revenge minded Derek Riordan quiet and power there way to a 4-2 victory over the Capital City side. It was the power of twos, as [...]

Because he already scored with his daughter. *rimshot* Gordon Strachan’s favorite whipping boy, Derek Riordan, makes his triumphant return to Celtic Park in a Hibernian uniform Saturday. I think it is safe to say that Deek might be motivated for this match. For those not familar with Riordan-gate(this whole saga spawned some [...]

I’ll be honest, up until about April of last season, Gary Caldwell was not a very good defender. For many on the Tim-ernet, including me, Caldwell was an easy source for abuse and received lots of it. However, something happened…Caldwell tried to choke the hun out of Davide Weir. For this Caldwell [...]

By: Matt | 8 Comments
It was always going to be a tough task getting points at Old Trafford, given Celtic’s away history and United’s class, but things were not helped when four key Celtic players missed the match due to injury. For all of these reasons, Manchester United was able to defeat Celtic 3-0 on matchday 3 of [...]

Catalonians, Italians, Irish, or Scottish preferred, but not required. Potential Strikers need to be able to fill time while ball will be down on the other side of [...]
Injuries mark tough win up North
By: Matt | 4 Comments
Celtic stayed true to recent history by squeaking out a 2-1 victory over Inverness Caley Thistle. Before the game got underway, it was made known that super striker Georgios Samaras would not be in the line up due to injury. The Greek would not be the only Celt facing injury concerns by the [...]
Inverness CT Preview: Northern Exposure
By: Matt | 2 Comments
As the video I posted yesterday shows, Celtic have had to rely on late goals often up North. Celtic have won or tied late against Caley more times than I can remember. Which means that Celtic have kept it far too close for comfort in their travels up north. I think even [...]
