Still thinking about those wee fucking magnets 🍀

It’s his 1st game so won’t overreact. But starting off by being undone tactically by Derek McInnes is not great 🍀

What looked like an early promising spell now looks like it just took Hearts 25 mins to adapt to our formation 🍀

Sometimes you get a sense that game isn’t over. Not today. This is done 🍀

Notable given his recent form that Hatate has struggled to get involved today. New system maybe not getting the best out of him 🍀

Tounekti 👀😏🍀

A lot to be encouraged by in 1st half but lost the early zip in last 10 mins. Maeda should have put away at least 1 of his chances. And 3 or 4 times the final ball was messed up when it would have set up great chance. Need to get back on it quickly in 2nd half 🍀

Engels had to be a bit more savvy there & stay off the park rather than jump back on & play them onside 🍀

Reluctantly my early instinct on new manager based on interviews & behind the scenes clips is I’m not so sure. Hope I’m proved entirely wrong, only thing that matters is the performances of the team. Just something about interactions with James Forrest & youth players had spider-senses tingling 🍀

Up the fucking Toffees 🔵

Actually even worse. Italy avoided. But you know Haiti is going to add themselves to those horror teams in Scotland’s World Cup history.

It’s going to be Italy. In the World Cup with some of the pishiest groups ever Scotland will get the hardest group in history.

Is it possible for Scotland to get winners of Italy play off? Because that’s who they’ll get.

Scotland definitely going into group C

B or D would be preferred groups for Scotland. So won’t be those.

So I reckon the groups Scotland wouldn’t want to get would be C, H, K & L. So they’ll definitely end up in one of those.

All is forgiven.

Why? Why is Rio Ferdinand doing this? Why? It’s a shame there are no capable live TV presenters in the whole of North America 😳

I had forgotten all about the World Cup draw. And then I looked on here & @nealraff.bsky.social mentioning it reminded me. So thanks for that. What the fucking hell is this?! Make Rio Ferdinand stop. Make it all stop!

Football is just a game but truthfully some of the most indelible memories I have, some of the greatest times of my life, moments that’ll live with me until the day I die were thanks to Martin O’Neill 🍀

I like McCowan but I’d probably bring Nygren on for 2nd half. Need someone with a bit more height at far post for crosses from Yang or Hatate 🍀

I hope Wilfried Nancy has got some spare hamstrings to bring with him 🍀

Big standout of O’Neill’s period in charge is last year’s big signings Trusty & Engels have actually looked like good players that were possibly worth signing after all 🍀

As for the new manager, here’s hoping he’s the right man. I’m optimistic. The last time the club looked in a bit of a mess in 2020 we appointed Postecoglou and signed Hart, Juranovic, CCV, Starfelt, Kyogo, Jota, Abada, Hatate, Maeda & O’Riley over the next 2 transfer windows…

For me it’s just been an absolute joy to see Martin O’Neill back in the Celtic dugout again. I’m sure the team & the support will give him the send off he deserves tonight. I love the man 🍀

A draw at home to Falkirk after a tough home game in Europe on Thursday night is always a great result 🤓

A win at Easter Road after a tough away game in Europe on Thursday night is always a great result 🍀

Certainly feels apt that we really turned a corner in Europe all those years ago with a 3-1 win in the Netherlands with Martin O’Neill. And seems likely his last game as Celtic manager is exactly the same 🍀

Pretty funny that Van Persie brought his boy on knowing it was likely be his last chance to do it before he gets the sack.

Messiah 🍀

Really good first half performance for an away game in Europe. Whole team playing with more cohesion & fluency 🍀

Yassssssss!!!!! 🍀

Absolutely brilliant goal 🍀

I’ve stayed away from the Celtic AGM on here because it’s all become a nonsense but I think the Celtic Da Weekly column tonight on Celtic Underground is excellent & expresses pretty much exactly what I think perfectly. I can only hope the adults in the room who are closer to it feel similarly 🍀

What I’m taking from that Everton red card is that it’s amazing that the rules say it doesn’t matter how much force you use if you hit someone in the face with your hand. If you do it with your boot however…..😉🍀

Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in your window

Belter 🍀

Get Shin Yamada on 🍀

Not a classic 1st half. I remain bemused by Engels. I don’t know what he does 🍀

Becomes more notable with every game that passes that Tounekti still hasn’t provided an assist for Celtic yet 🍀

Annoying having to wait until 8pm on a Saturday but lovely to finally get to watch my team play a game of football. I was starting to wonder if they still did that 🍀

Still Game the Movie looks shit 🍀

I always loved Primal Scream. They were a good live band until Mani joined & he made them a great live band. Absolutely elevated them with his bass. Standout moment for me will always be at the Barrowlands in summer 98. Jesus & Mary Chain supported. One of the all time great gigs….

I remember as a kid thinking the picture of Mark Hughes scoring against Spain for Wales was the coolest thing in football & wishing Scotland would score a goal as good as that. I hope today’s Scottish kids enjoyed the Scott McTominay goal last night.

From last night, any talk of a contract extension for Schmeichel should start with taking a look at that Shankland goal never mind the plod back for McLean’s goal. Whit’s the goalie daein? Quite the highlights reel he’s started putting together in last few months 🍀

Aw Kieran. Beautiful.

How can a team with 5 central midfielders on the park have no central midfield?!

Oh my. That’s maybe the greatest Scotland goal I’ve ever seen.

I predict an absolute tanking for Scotland. No team that is serious about qualifying is putting Craig Gordon in goal.
