Disappointing they only had 2 options, & the other obvious choice still had to go up against an option that shouldn’t have been, but thankfully the better of the two options has eventually been selected.
At least we have an experienced manager & someone who will stabilise us.
Martin O'Neill has agreed to become Celtic's manager on a permanent basis, following talks with Dermot Desmond in London.
The 74-year-old will sign a one-year contract, with the option of a further year.

@supertanskiii Reform are wankers…but it would be good to hear him make an arse of himself instead of a boy hearing you talking over what he’s saying. Defeats the point of highlighting his stupidity if we can’t hear it for ourselves!
Only in Scotland can people scream about cheating & bias in a women’s game, in favour of the team that got a player sent off. 😂😂
Absolute moonhowlers are still in a full blown meltdown era, of which the like has never been witnessed before! 🤣
@Echo_nomics@alegil2101 Just as Kyziridis could’ve instigated the very little contact that appears might happened in order to dive or he’s genuinely been caught, with the footage available on the day.
Still…all about opinions!
@Echo_nomics@alegil2101 Inconclusive? Looked pretty conclusive using the footage. It’s actually more conclusive than the Hearts claim…yet everyone seems to have telescopic vision for that one.
Whilst we’re on the subject of sabotage…
Before agreeing to return, Rodgers was assured that recruitment had improved since his first tenure.
Remember that first window? £19m spent on 10 players. Nothing had changed. We were still on the hunt for cheap punts.
He wanted centre-backs with pace for the Champions League. Mark Lawwell delivered Maik Nawrocki & Gustaf Lagerbielke - two players who had no pace.
We sold Jota & Abada, but failed to adequately replace them.
Joe Hart announced his retirement in February 2024, yet we had no replacement lined up five months later when Rodgers had to personally contact Kasper Schmeichel and do the recruitment team’s job for them.
On to the second season, where we actually showed some ambitious intent in the summer window. The fact we were without a Head of Football at that time due to the departure of Mark Lawwell may have been coincidental.
We sold Matt O’Riley and then Kyogo in January, but failed to adequately replace them.
Then came the third season, where we were dreadfully ill-prepared for the Champions League, failing to negotiate the qualifiers for the 7th time in 9 attempts.
We sold Kuhn, but failed to adequately replace him (do you see the trend developing here?).
We kept Maeda when his head was already in Wolfsburg.
We sold Idah, messed up the Dolberg deal, then had to go back to the Rodgers Rolodex to bring in Iheanacho.
When Rodgers eventually spoke out about this amateur approach to recruitment, someone at the club briefed against him to the worst tabloid rag imaginable.
You may well have a predetermined view on Brendan Rodgers, but he wasn’t the one sabotaging Celtic. If you believe that, you’ll agree with every word of Desmond’s statement obliterating the man on his departure - a statement that remains a stain on Celtic’s reputation.
The target of our disdain should be fully focused on those in the boardroom who are incapable of progressing our football club, not on managers trying to achieve success to a backdrop of chaos and dysfunction.
@stmirrenretro I don’t mind Arsenal as far as English clubs go, but nope….wanted PSG to win, albeit I really couldn’t have given a flying fuck beyond a mild interest.
@Echo_nomics@alegil2101 Using a still photo when after the handball at Fir Park, you lot were screaming you couldn’t use a still photo 😂. Look at it from different angles.
Yes, it was reckless…the VAR show said as much. Reckless doesn’t mean a red card though.
@Handymanjoe5@HMFC_1874_ Wasn’t it Collum who gave Rangers a penalty at Celtic Park with his back to goal. Impartiality you say?

@airborn555 Let’s flip that argument. What happened to all the Huns that screamed ‘Paranoia’ when we criticised refs? Now they’re the ones crying corruption.
Difference is, the only 2 cases of corruption to be proved, were not to our benefit!
