"Message in a Bottle" was written by Sting and inspired by the image of a lone castaway throwing bottles into the sea in the hope that someone would find them.

The song's distinctive guitar riff originated with Sting, but guitarist Andy Summers rearranged and transformed it into the intricate part heard on the recording. "Message in a Bottle" became The Police's first No. 1 single on the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks at the top in 1979. It also topped the charts in Ireland and reached No. 5 in Australia and No. 2 in Canada. Surprisingly it peaked at only No. 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.

18 goals conceded in 8 games… one way Wilf will not change but it’s on whoever made the call to bring Wilf in if they knew he was going to be stubborn and not adapt. Bad decision after bad decision this season has plagued Celtic as a club. Time to move fast and be decisive…
