OVERALL – 7.5/10 – No Calmac, no panic; Thankfully. Maybe reinforcing the sexist-pig argument that wimmin’ have no place in football, his pregnant missus chooses the most inopportune moment to drop; the worst timed birth since John Hurt ruined my cinema hotdog during ‘Alien’ back in the day…So the captain spent all night directing the delivery room nurses and midwives, arms waving, yelling for the press, calling for a hold, a big push, until the eventual magic moment arrived and it was a double, a pair, a twinset of twins; a warm welcome to wee Dolce and Gabbana McGregor.
So we’ll leave the Skip to kip – probably not for long, lol – with great congratulations, and the reminder that he’s been pretty renowned this season for shooting outside the box; Maybe if he’d thought of that nine months ago he wouldn’t be in this position…Talking of kids… Motherwell threw one at us and for the opening exchanges he gave cause for much concern, hitting more wood than a Jamesy conquest, displaying dancing feet and footballing nous.
We’ll probably sign that lad in January; word is he’s a Zombie by dint of childhood cult brainwashing, so it’ll be sweeter to pinch him and develop him into a proper player. Unless of course by then some kind of apocalyptic event has reduced the monetary system to bartering, where Motherwell will accept the Zombies’ stash of used ginger bottles over Celtic’s hard cash.
But once we overcame the Motherwell Millertime flurry we eventually cruised to a surprisingly comfortable win, not by anything spectacular but by – probably more pleasingly – overcoming them with consistent football quality; shifting the ball and Motherwell around with pace, precision and guile. It was the perfect result to follow the CL intensity, conjured at a tricky venue with an unfamiliar lineup; a tonic for all concerned.

DEDICATED TO: TOMMY CALLAGHAN
Tommy Callaghan.
What do you know about Tommy Callaghan, Celtic legend? Most of us never saw him play in the flesh. Just how good was this feted man?
Stein signed him. TWICE.
That’s all you need to know.
RIP, Tommy.

TC (or Scoobie,as he was called) was a player,and no mistake, though the fans often didn’t appreciate his unselfish running.totally selfless man.R I P
True gentleman, and a great player,.met him at the convention in Vagas,true ambassador for celtic. Rip Thomas.
On Lennon Miller. Keen to sign the boy and loan him back to Motherwell for the rest of the season come January.
I have it on good authority that there is not cat in hell’s chance he’d go to the other side. His mother won the battle of the naming rights, putting the possibility of Zombies cheering this boy beyond credulity. His faither also agin it purely on footballing development basis. He understandably wants him to move south.
The boy is a player.
