This title win truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

Me on checking in after another day of work, wondering whether they've stopped greetin' about everything to hide the fact that Hearts completely bottled it in the 87th minute of the final league game of the season and seeing that no, they haven't.

After days of manufactured outrage over VAR correctly giving Celtic a penalty at Fir Park, let's not forget that the most outrageous call by an official over the last 7 days occured at Celtic Park on Saturday. Not a peep from those screaming about the standard of officiating after Fir Park.

If you'd said in August that Martin O'Neill would lead Celtic to the title on the last day of the season by beating long time leaders Hearts, people would have thought you'd gone mad. It really has been the most bizarre season.

Sometimes a league is won on the back on the finest of margins. We won 26 league games this season. In 11 of them we scored the winning goal from the 80th minute on. In 7 of those it came in added time. Fair play to the team for continually finding a way to win games, even where it looked unlikely

Reverting to a Wilfried Nancy 3 at the back that included one central defender and two full backs was not how I saw us winning the league. But here we are. YAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!

The last 24 hours have seen the most ridiculous and hilarious over-reaction to a refereeing decision in a football game since the last time a Scottish ref made a decision that worked to Celtic's advantage. It's almost as if there's an agenda in how the Scottish football media reacts to such things.

YAAASSSSSSS! That is all.

Getting 3pts was all that mattered. But that was a really poor performance. Playing against 10 men for over 70 minutes gave us a great chance to eat into the goal difference. Obviously not helped by one of the more outrageous examples of hun refereeing. Still in the race, though.

Ugly scenes at Ibrox. Pitch invasion by the home supporters as well.

Hearts fans today.

Brilliant to turn that around and get a point after a dreadful 1st half. But we've left ourselves a mountain to climb now in the league. If MON can pull it off it'll be one of his greatest achievents, because we are rotten. Once again, hun players are allowed to foul at will by hun refs.

1. We're on course for our worst league performance this century. Our current 2pts per game would mean just 76pts over the course of the full season, 1pt worse off than the 20/21 Covid monstrosity.

In a game marred by an awful referee making awful calls, let's not forget that snivelling tory rat Douglas Ross said that this ball was out of play.

We can add 3 new players to the Europa squad. Usual rules apply, in that we still need to meet the "locally trained" requirements. Doesn't matter if they've played in Europe for another team. And, I guess, we'd also need to have a board capable of signing a third player to add.

I highly recommend looking up Sandro Lauper's goal for YBB against Stuttgart. It's ridiculously good.

Wouldn't have been Celtic in Europe without a wee scare or two along the way. But a good win to see us safely through. Ferencvaros of Stuttgart next. Get through that and it's Porto or Braga in the L16.

It's almost as if having a competent manager in the dugout makes a difference.

Celtic, right now.

The sack is the sack.

We've conceded 18 goals in 8 games under Nancy. We conceded 19 goals in the 24 games prior to his arrival. Make of that what you will.

1st half we were excellent. Dominated the game and should have been further ahead. 2nd half was the same abomination we've seen over most of the last 8 games. All over the place, no structure, a defensive bomb waiting to go off. It's not going to get better. Clearout needed from top to bottom.

The league table since MON's last game against Dundee. Add to this a scudding off Roma, and losing the League Cup Final. Shambles.

"I was close to signing for Carlisle" is a phrase that should go down in Celtic history.

He's asking Grok to pick the team for him, isn't he?

"We started well, and after 1 minute...2 minutes we conceded the first goal" Terrifying analysis from our manager.

Absolute shambles of a performance.

Nygren, pretty much any time he's in a challenge with a player of the opposing team.

Dodgy start, before settling into a good performance in the 1st half. 2nd half not so great. But overall a great result away from home after a tough European game. Team could really do with a free midweek, though.

Today I learned that Dermot Desmond's son, Ross, is every bit the tadger that his father is.

An incredible finish, and completely unScottish. I'm used to glorious failure, not unglorious victory.

Way back in 2017 I made a post on twitter about how we often lose goals in batches in Europe; a result of our composure evaporating. Found it, and expanded upon it. Here's how many times we've lost at least 2 goals in a 10 minute spell since 2010. There are some great teams in there. But stil....

Well that could have gone better. When we fall apart in Europe, we really fall apart in Europe.

Always good to beat them, regardless of how we do it. Better team overall, but made hard work of the 2nd half. Got there in the end. Night and day compared to how we've been playing for much of the season. More direct, and quicker. Just need to keep it going for now, then reinforce in January.

Enjoyable first half, once we got over the early flat spell. Playing with much more energy and pace. Keep it going, please. Nygren could score 40 a season for us if his finishing was in any way consistent.

MON's last competitive starting XI and bench from the 2005 Scottish Cup Final v tonight's lineup. I know who I'd be putting my money on in a head to head. Insert your own joke about some of the old team being in their 50s.

Disgraceful statement from the parasite in chief, Dermot Desmond. Imperative that we keep the pressure on and clean house.

Can’t say I’m sorry to see BR go. Should probably have walked at the end of the window. Don’t think anyone would have blamed him at that stage. Can’t say I’m delighted at the thought of MON taking over but it’s only as interim manager. Absolutely crucial we get the next appointment correct.

We're in a bit of a mess, aren't we? Board guilty of gross mismanagement. A squad riddled by injury and mediocrity. A manager who, at best, isn't capable of getting the best from the players he does have available and, at worst, has chucked it. Going nowhere as a club just now.

Dreadful performance. We've scored just 11 goals in 8 league games this season, failing to score in 3 of those and, overall, 6 of our 14 games. A board of incompetents and parasites, a manager who has chucked it, and a squad crammed with way too much dross. Going to be a long season.

Celtic current status: Currently rummaging through the bins out the back of Asda trying to find an unbroken pack of Custard Creams.

Michael Nicholson & Co, right now.

Losing 9-1 on aggregate, and 6-0 in one of the legs, are both Champions League Playoff round records. Some going to break two records on one night. You have to go back to 2004/05 to find a worse aggregate score in the final CL qualifier (then QR3) - Monaco beating Gorica 9-0.

Well that was fucking awful. Plenty of blame to go around, starting with the money hoarding parasites in the boardroom. BR can take his share as well. He looks like he has no idea how to change it when it's not working. The players were awful too. We're just so stale as a club, top to bottom.

We'll play one of the following in the CL Playoff. Slovan Bratislava or Kairat Basel Qarabağ or Shkëndija Sturm Graz Dynamo Kyiv or Pafos The draw is on Monday. 1st leg on the 19th/20th August. Return leg a week later.
