An honest mistake? At the home of the establishment club? Shocked, so am ur. Thankfully, admitting it means there are no further consequences for anyone. Might write a letter to the lottery complaining of never winning the jackpot...

The sacking of Thelwell and Stewart should be setting off alarm bells in the Celtic Park boardroom. Sadly, the noise would likely have no effect on the people round the table given they are deaf to anything but their own ancient opinions.

Poor Crocker. Sounds absolutely gutted. I guess that loss was as "undeserved" as Celtic's win yesterday, as he put it during his commentary. Up ye! #ABEHEA

Where an inferior player panics and lets fly into the stand in desperate hope, our captain remains focussed on the business of winning matches that win titles. That's what being a serial winner does to you. And a cheeky wee 'just another day at the office' wink to McCowan. A world class player!

The #celticfc statement also speaks of an Academy objective to create 'Champions League players' as if they will somehow spring to life by their mere mention. Where are they? You can't wish them into being. How is this failure being addressed? Take responsibility and clear out the duds on the board.

Even if you take that #celticfc statement at face value, it does nothing to address issues with stadium infrastructure which cash reserves can be used for, and to call out leaks to press on transfers is the ultimate hypocrisy given the latest media reports on our manager. Get rid of the dead wood.
