stv_logoThe build up to the latest Glasgow Derby was typical, some people had “The Fear” of a Rangers victory, some were uber-confident about Celtic’s chances, others hedged their bets and sat on the fence.  Of all the press’ usual pre-match hype, bluster and bombast an important news story involving one of the Glasgow clubs seemingly slipped past the attention of most, quietly announced by it’s central figures and quickly moved on. 

The news that STV and Rangers had struck up an official “partnership” was announced with minimal fanfare.   

At a time when Scotland is going through some serious labour pains in it’s continual evolution from a dark-age seedy backwater to a glittering modern society, this is a very strange announcement indeed.  With all the confusion, frustration and outrage at the SNP’s rushed and directionless “Offensive Behaviour" bill, which is the legislative equivalent of going pigeon shooting with a box of hand grenades, this is a strange time to align oneself with a club with specific political, religious and societal ideals.

hugh_keevinsIt's time to look back to 05/03/2000. Kenny Dalglish has decided to take the manager's press conference on tour. Last week it was Bairds' Bar and this week it's the Celtic Supporters Club. The only problem is that one member of the press pack is denied entry by the gentleman on the door...

There were more hacks than usual at the pc today, obviously in anticipation of some concrete news on the HC job. You'd think they'd know by now.

The "Broadcast Media" slot was attended by such as Provan, Johnstone, Tanner, Geissler and McLean.

Geissler got the event underway by saying "Mark Viduka wasn't at training today, Kenny. Is there anything we should read into that?"

"Yes." said Kenny, pausing briefly before adding "He's injured."

The Best And Worst Moments of 2011 PDF Print E-mail

So 2011 is just about finished. What will we as Celtic fans remember from the year past? We've picked what we consider to be the best, and worst, moments of 2011. Thankfully we've had much more to enjoy than to worry about in the past year so we've only got 5 low point as opposed to 10 high points.

And as usual when we do lists on this site we've probably missed something so let us know what we should have added.

Let's get the bad ones out the way first...

bbjOver the last fifteen years, the diverse footballing talents of Robbie Keane, Craig Bellamy, Dion Dublin, Magnus Hedman, Willo Flood, Colin Healy, Adam Virgo, Darren Jackson, Danny Fox, and John Hartson have all represented the two clubs that lie closest to my heart. Gordon Strachan also managed both Coventry City and Celtic in this time, and I found it difficult to shift my attitude of a certain player when they eventually joined the second of the two clubs. For example, Robbie Keane could do no wrong at Celtic because of his wonderful season with the Sky Blues in 1999/2000. Alternatively, Craig Bellamy was always viewed with suspicion and angst due to his sheer awfulness in a sky blue shirt. Strachan’s success at Celtic was glossed over in my brain, preferring to save all my respect for the players on the park rather than a manager who relegated my first love from the English Premier League in 2001.

The player who stands out for me is John Hartson. Due to his connection with both clubs, and subsequent tragic events that shaped both of our lives, I hold him in high esteem. In his career, Hartson played for seven clubs on a permanent basis, making more appearances for Celtic than any other side he represented, and in turn only representing the Sky Blues on twelve occasions.

lennon_hand_on_heartAt the close of another year, is it safe to say that Neil Lennon’s Celtic have really turned the corner? The evidence would seem to suggest that Celtic are now turning in consistent performances and achieving a level very few would have thought possible, even a month ago.

On November 5th, things did indeed look precarious for Neil Lennon with Celtic a massive fifteen points behind the seemingly invincible Rangers. As the laptop loyal sharpened their crayons in anticipation of penning Lennon’s obituary, Celtic somehow managed to confound their biggest critics (and indeed a large section of the Celtic support) and turn the boat around as it headed for the rocks. With next Wednesday’s Old Firm game looming, the deficit has been dramatically slashed to just one single point with Celtic having home advantage.

To what do we attribute this fantastic comeback? To some the game at Rugby Park was the critical point, when Celtic managed to snatch honour from the jaws of ignominy. Three nil down at half time, it looked as if there was no way back for Lennon’s men. Whatever was said at half time had the desired effect and Celtic fought back to grab a draw.

What is sometimes forgotten is that Celtic are only now getting their best players back, Lennon seemed to be cursed with key players being injured and never having the luxury of playing a settled team. There was a constant need to play different players in new systems every game.

The effect this had on the balance of the team is obvious to everybody.
