Interesting comment from Stevie G on his era's golden generation of England players.

Can use the same observation below for the Huns...

‘All we are left to do is regret the lost opportunities, the lost five years, the hundreds and thousands of pounds that could have been invested in the club instead of being wasted if these tiny, frightened men had, just once, put Celtic first.’
From @ntvceltic.bsky.social Issue 48 (1990s)

2010-08-26: Utrecht 4-0 Celtic, Europa League

15 years ago! That was a barmy trip, felt like I was in a military operation the way security was getting to the ground, and the trip back to Amsterdam after the game too!

60 years ago this week, a Celtic legend - and dentist! - made his debut.

Jim Craig is best remembered as a Lisbon Lions but had many other experiences too.

My latest FREE @celticrumours.bsky.social podcast tells his story:

This bit reads like something from Life Of Brian, the revolutionary committee stuff! It's so reminiscent of an old 1980s trade union set up! Something wrong? Not me guv you need to speak to the other committee about it!

True - but i think it's more the poor coaching at the B team level and also lack of a clear pathway to the first team.
I spoke to an uncle of a guy with the reserves who bailed out in recent years (no names) and is now doing fine. Quite scathing of some of our developmetn setup.

Our club has not too much to write home about either.. we've had some brilliant successes (e.g. Matt O'Riley) but the list of youth players just bailing out on the club in recent years shows too much is wrong in the coaching structure.

Mark Aitchison in TheScotsman newspaper:

" Teenage loanees such as Jayden Meghoma and Mikey Moore should not be allowed to “develop” at a club of such stature...."

At the moment we're probably all consuming a lot more chocolate than we did...

I hope he turns down going to the Afcon tournament. Think playing for Celtic should be far higher priority if he wants to stay beyond a season.

We drew FIVE games last season in the league. We have already drawn THREE this season.

We have no goal threat other than Big Itchy from the spot. The boards ineptitude has come back to bite us as usual but performances have been shit all season and thats on Rodgers and the players.

HT 1-1

After the VAR decision that went against us on Thursday, I don't think the standard is much greater at UEFA either!
