In a voting system designed to make it more difficult for parties to have an overall majority and instigated to encourage parties to work in coalition, it is beyond frustrating

Yes, you would think a unified coaching philosophy and playing style between the academy and the first team players to be a given - "World class in everything we do" strikes again? - I don't think so #celticfc

Many people are still to be convinced on the merits of independence, and it has been discussed now for generations. Political affiliation is not and never will be the answer to convincing the majority

There are gifs you make to enjoy watching #celticfc

This is what to "bleed for the club" looks like

I don't think the tactical setup or McGregor dominating that role has been particularly beneficial to him - while adept on the right flank, I agree we could see the best of him as a proper deep-lying playmaker

Storm Amy didn't blow away Westminster's control over the UK's energy market - so nae chance

By sticking to it there needs to be more width in attack and partnerships between fullback and wingers needs to be solid. Think also it's being lost in midfield - they need to support fullbacks and press opponent better - or the games will continue to drift in this shape

MJ @csmjk.bsky.social · 7d

His movement might help him. It means more space will be available to exploit if he is heavily marked - needs teammates though to use this space wisely

Hopefully, McCowan's versatility can bring more energy and intensity to our midfield today

Hopefully he will, and it'll coincide with an overall improvement in the effectiveness of our final third play

MJ @csmjk.bsky.social · 7d

Creating attacking width in a 3 5 2 or playing left and right midfielders differently in a 4 2 3 1 could exploit the left side more. We need to be better at transitions between the two CBs to attack - with the absence of Taylor's inverted role - like to see this tried via a double pivot in a 4 2 3 1

After the manager's recent comments and tactical changes, I think he realises the danger in carrying on as we are and will make the tactical/team changes required - tomorrow will tell us a lot about the success or otherwise of the rest of the season I think

I had close relatives who worked for Winnie Ewing's campaign for SNP in 1967 long before devolution was even a consideration. They trusted that the Scottish people could deliver if given the means to do so - I keep their faith

MJ @csmjk.bsky.social · 8d

Totally agree - Brexit enabled powers to be undermined without recourse to the Scottish electorate and showed how fragile the whole devolved process to be. Wanted to emphasise the point that a future vote should recognise the threat to devolution as already occurring.

MJ @csmjk.bsky.social · 8d

Brexit was but a start of a process of centralising devolved matters in Westminster. It isn't the next election that is a new threat to devolution. Decisions need to be considered in the context that the threat to devolution is already here and happening

Delighted to see him have a start - really hoping he does well
