The biggest and most successful clubs have a reference to draw from, notes of previous success to look back on, from which they can plot the perilous course ahead. The most obvious and valuable reference this time, was Martin O’Neill. #Celticfc

What’s genuinely crazy in all this is the fact that the only concrete evidence we have - during the whole season - of someone coming on the pitch and actually touching an opposition player is when Derek McInnes pushed an Aberdeen player. The player had his back to him at the time. #Celticfc

This Saturday will be Celtic’s 59th and final game of the season. It’s a shot at glory after a testing season, but will also - in many ways - signify a changing of the guard. Bookending an era of success, and hopefully the start of another. #Celticfc

The ending of the game was the perfect example of his calculated but also innate cunning. McInnes had spent his cards, while O’Neill had one up his sleeve. It was something like serendipitous that his old hat 3-5-2 would ultimately decide the game and the title. #Celticfc

Kelechi Iheanacho is cool. Do you not what’s cooler than being cool? Ice cool. The Nigerian clearly carries a little weight above the waistline but it’s fair to say, he carries a fair amount just below it as well. #Celticfc

Daizen Maeda took the roof off Celtic Park yesterday. In many ways, it was a reminder of what this club is; gigantic, successful, inspiring but ultimately, something else. Stood apart from all others. Miscellaneous and innately magic. #Celticfc

It’s hard not to think about what ifs in his case. Only 29, his pure skill and wit is as evident as his lack of fitness. Finesse, with a hint of farce unfortunately, otherwise you can’t help but think he would run amok in Scotland. #CelticFC

The spirit of 86’ is a beautiful, bite size slogan. Encapsulating the job at hand and the opponents. It pays homage to and draws inspiration from one of the club's most magical days in its history. It seemed to work on Saturday…. #Celticfc

Just paid £6.70 for a Guinness on Duke Street. Na man. #Celticfc

Get to the club house on Saturday night with the job done, and we can sit back knowing that any good news on the Sunday, is a massive bonus, and a chance to swing again. #Celticfc

An organic changing of the guard due to contract lengths, squad numbers and maybe even retirement. In some cases, it’s just time to call it a day. A cursory look at the squad list suggests a natural cull will be achieved quite easily. #Celticfc

Celtic fancied more. Good teams are merciless by nature, and this gives us some encouragement heading into the split. After some neat interchange on the left, the ball found itself at the feet of Iheanacho. #Celticfc

Massive opportunity this today. Time to turn up. #Celticfc

The afternoon looked doomed upon a first glance at the pitch. I shouldn’t really have to describe the terrain on which a top-level football match took place, but it made that thing Kilmarnock play on look like centre court on the opening day of Wimbledon. #Celticfc

The strong will and defiance displayed at Ibrox(x 2) has calcified the team spirit. It’s also brought them closer to the support and that was evident on Saturday. The reciprocal, transactional relationship is now understood further by those that are only here for the time being. #Celticfc

An intriguing, latent subplot for this Saturday is that JBA is widely tipped as the Celtic manager in waiting. The susurration is loudening and Parkhead is as good a place as any to hold, what is tantamount to a real time audition this weekend. #Celticfc

This was billed as Celtic’s event horizon. Four fixtures in 10 days, all away from home, all with their unique challenges, but ultimately a bridge too far for this brow-beaten, beleaguered and under resourced group of players. #CelticFC

Reo Hatate is in no way a “water carrier” type midfielder, but his introduction seemed to completely hydrate the rest of the team at Ibrox. The Japanese midfielder has seemed redundant lately. Enervated and dulled, less inquisitive with the ball. #CelticFC

We’re in the club house with our feet up. Hopefully they tear strips off each other and it ends a draw. Was fuming at HT but we can’t accuse the players of chucking it regardless of how bad we are. Fighting spirit has been evident this week. #Celticfc

Desperate stuff this. Deep down, we kind of knew this was coming. Off the ball Hatate is not interested and we’re not good enough to carry anyone. Need a miracle 2nd half

The game finishes when the whistle goes. Let them greet. The whole country despises us and I take great satisfaction from that. Shows how much we’ve tormented them for coming on 2 decades. #Celticfc.

Was buzzing for that tonight but a pitch like that can be a real leveller in games like this. Hopefully works out for us in the long run. A free midweek to get energy levels back up isn’t the worst thing either. #Celticfc

Derek McInnes being an emotional wreck and charging our dugout was not a good look. The real pressure part of the season is still a month or so off(last 8 games) and calls for calm heads. Something McInnes doesn’t have. #Celticfc

A quick look at this week. #Celticfc

Why are we just seeing this KT on in swinging corners thing. What a ball that was. Superb from the starting back 4 tonight. That’s a few of those in Europe for Trusty. #Celticfc

There are no words that can truly describe the mess Celtic have got themselves into. Nothing can describe just how inept we are at recruitment. What an absolute gift this will be for Hearts or Rangers if we lose it. #Celticfc

Someone remind me. Is this the interim or permanent manager? It’s a matter of when now. #Celticfc

Donovan has to start going forward. He’s performed well in two Europa games away from home. He can handle our domestic fixtures and has a far higher ceiling than Ralston. Great frame for the position and a nice knack of timing in the tackle. #Celticfc

Quick one on last night’s game. Writing for Read Celtic just now. It’s a change in tone from my usual substack approach but a learning curve in covering games quickly. Was on the bus this morning typing away. #Celticfc.

Not quite one foot in the knockouts but things look a lot brighter this morning. Roll on Roma. #Celticfc
