@siamesebhoy @Polmik1888 And the customer’s always right.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@siamesebhoy This only serves to highlight how badly we’re underachieving in Europe if the figures are to be believed. And Dermot doesn’t fund the club.

@edcassidycomedy “..a fine squad of players”. Deary me.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@mab040822 @p_bov1 If you sell a player for £15m, then buy a player for £15m, have you strengthened your squad?

@jduffy132 @rcbhoyno1 @weedavebhoy I don’t think any manager with other options would go near Celtic right now. Not many would fancy working with our recruitment model.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@jduffy132 @rcbhoyno1 @weedavebhoy If there had been any sort of proper recruitment process there would’ve been other options when the Keane appointment broke down, regardless of the reason. Instead it was another desperate call to O’Neill. Absolutely no way for a club of Celtic’s size to conduct its business.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@jduffy132 @rcbhoyno1 @weedavebhoy Celtic’s recruitment process for the manager’s position basically consisted of DD offering the job to Keane. No list of candidates, no interviews. Once the inevitable backlash began they were left with no options except to give O’Neill a call. Totally dysfunctional.

@teddys0704 @p_bov1 You didn’t clearly state an original point so I’m not sure if you feel validated, you merely asked a question that needed clarification.

If my responses have made you feel a bit better then I’m happy with that so no problem mate.

Take care, and remember, it’s only fitbaw.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@teddys0704 @p_bov1 There no confusion at all. I understand your need to create a comfort blanket for yourself so who am I to take that away.

Here’s a full breakdown if you need it.

Old Rangers: 54 (1 shared)
New Rangers: 1

Celtic: 43 v old Rangers, 9 v new Rangers, 4 v neither Rangers club.

@teddys0704 @p_bov1 What exactly are you suggesting then?

If you read my previous reply you’ll see that I’ve answered your question, although surely you’d already come up with tally yourself?

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@teddys0704 @p_bov1 Ok, so what you’re suggesting is the 4 titles Celtic won when Rangers weren’t in the top division should be discounted, therefore making the count 55-52 in Rangers favour. Is that correct?

Answer me this then, how many seasons have each club spent outside of the top division?

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@teddys0704 @p_bov1 League titles won where the other has finished 2nd:

Celtic 30
Rangers 25

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@teddys0704 @p_bov1 It’s not that simple a question unless you define what you mean by “head to head for a title”. For example, in 1990/91 Rangers and Aberdeen went head to head for the title until the last day with Celtic finishing a distant 3rd. That’s not Celtic and Rangers going head to head.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@DM8883 I actually think this has worked out exactly how Rangers expected it wouid go. They don’t want the expense of policing away crowds in the derbies.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@Scotia80 Have Rangers published the actual quotes for the repairs? Absolutely no chance it ran into 7 figures.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@ScotlandSky What was once one of the world’s great derby matches has now been reduced to a complete non-event outside of Glasgow. No wonder the SPFL can’t get a better tv deal.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@asimrabbani I think he’s got to say something like that as there are players who’ve been left out of the Europa squad who’ll be disappointed.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@undervalu @CelticFC Postecoglou was appointed 4 months after Lennon left, and only after the club had waited and waited on Eddie Howe, only for him to walk away.

While the appointment of Postecoglou turned out to be an excellent one, he wasn’t first choice, and it certainly wasn’t quick.

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@siamesebhoy You don’t think having an extremely weak bench had anything to do with it?

[Colin Hyland @ColinHyland]

@siamesebhoy Human rights violation is a bit of a stretch😂

Of course buying your season ticket and club merch etc isn’t a financial investment. It is, however, an emotional investment. The board would do well to recognise that football supporters are not the same as supermarket customers.
