Gary Keown who writes for the Scottish Daily Mail is currently trending on X due to his ill fated comments on Brendan Rodgers a year ago. Gary in his weekly column boldly predicted that Brendan would fail in his second spell in the Celtic dugout.
Of course Lenny would come back. He’s a true Celtic man, but it’s unlikely to ever happen, at manager level anyway… Neil Lennon was asked yesterday if he would come back to Celtic in any capacity in the future if asked, and he unsurprisingly answered yes.
Anthony Ralston played the entire 90 minutes of last night’s friendly international against Finland as Scotland played their last game before next Friday’s Euro 2024 opener against Germany in Munich.
I’m not a fan of social media but a friend of mine sent me an interesting Twitter (or X as it’s now known) thread on Bosun Lawal earlier that really got me thinking about the future of my fellow Irishman under Brendan Rodgers.
Super Joe Hart has as promised sent a message to the Celtic family as he reflects on his wonderful three seasons at Celtic Park which he says was full of ups and downs but mostly important also full of trophies coming Celtic’s way.
