It is not fashionable for Celtic fans to show any sort of liking for Peter Lawwell these days, but I have always felt that a more…
Well, no-one is going to say that Celtic’s problems are over after tonight, but it was at least a step in the right direction. Two good…
JOSEF VENGLOS 1936-2021 Jo Venglos was another of the many people on whom it could be said that he just came at the wrong time in…
JOHANNES EDVALDSSON – 1950-2021 Johannes Edvaldsson was in some ways very unfortunate in his Celtic career. Yet he had his moments of glory as well, not…
Celtic have the look of death about them these days, do they not? After playing themselves into a winning position, they proceeded to throw it all…
Well, it doesn’t get any better, does it? Today was just an excellent example of what football is like if there is no meaningful Celtic presence.…
For such a long time, it looked like a 0-0 draw, so overall maybe 1-1 was fair, but how annoying it was to go down so…
It was my first visit to Celtic Park in 1962 that I saw Jimmy Delaney. I was unimpressed really because although he was pointed out to me…
These are indeed strange times. Leaving aside for a minute the virus and its implications, we are now at the start of 2021 in a bizarre…
It is simply not going to happen this year, and it all perished with Nir Bitton’s moment of silliness. It was a foul and possibly even…
The remarkable footballing life of Tommy Docherty came to an end on Hogmanay 2020. He was 92, and he had been ill for some considerable time.…
So, it is now down to 20 League games to go, and all we have to do is win every one of them! Still no room…
The death of Jim McLean removed from the Scottish football scene one of the real characters. Dundee United owe almost everything to him – I say…
Well, I suppose that this one could have been a banana skin given the dodgy Hamilton artificial pitch, the absolutely awful conditions and the psychological effect…
A competent rather than a spectacular win for Celtic tonight with the bonus of a clean sheet. The news from Perth was depressing but we are…
OK, let’s forget for a moment about 12 trophies in a row and quadruple trebles. We have now won 40 Scottish Cups while the next best…

Scottish Cup Final – 6 April 1901 Ibrox Stadium – Hearts 4 Celtic 3 There are quite a few “hard luck” stories in our Scottish Cup…
It is nor often that insomnia can be brought on by laughter and happiness, but that’s what happened, I imagine, to quite a few of us…
IF I can count correctly, Celtic have met Hearts 32 times in the Scottish Cup, have won 20 of them, drawn 5 and lost 7. There…
I always knew this ground as Recreation Park, and I want to keep it like this! Alloa won the Second Division Championship in 1922, and Willie…
The Scottish League is not yet dead and buried as far as we are concerned…but it is pretty close to it. In real terms, (if we…
As in 2020, white Christmases were not common, but in 1909 there was rain with loads of mud, but that sort of thing did not stop…
So, has the corner been turned? Dare we hope so? Today was a really good performance. There should have been more goals and the victory should…
Ian Young was one of my heroes. He had played one or two games in season 1962/63 but it was season 1963 that he became a…
Merrier Christmases for Celtic – Like 1935… It was indeed the bleak midwinter. 21 December 1935 was frosty and foggy, so much so that many other…
Better! Encouraging! But let’s not go any further than that. I heard Stephen Craigan using words like “terrific” and “vibrant”. That was maybe going a little…
Things were happening in December 2000. Celtic had narrowly gone out of the UEFA Cup to Bordeaux, but everything else was good – more or less.…
