Greed Over Glory: Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs Departure Had Ange won nothing and finished fourth he’s still be in a job. The strange reality of Spurs and the EPL

Ange Postecoglou gave Spurs glory. They gave him the sack.

In a game driven by greed over glory, Postecoglou’s sacking is a brutal indictment of modern football.

My thoughts on the big man getting the axe:

Forget the usual cheerleaders and the online giggles.

The new Ibrox appointment brings a very different challenge to the table for Brendan Rodgers. And it’s actually quite exciting.

My thoughts on what Celtic can expect.

celtsarehere.substack.com/p/editor-col...

Think it’ll be Idah, Maeda, Forrest to start with personally. Especially with Kuhn carrying a bit of a knock.

Glasgow Derby Squad Update
• Jota out for 9 months
• Daizen Maeda & Kuhn should be OK for Sunday
• Alistair Johnston ruled out – being managed for cup final
• Yang returns to the squad

Jota will be ruled out for up to nine months with the injury he picked up at Tannadice.

A massive blow for the player personally and the club. He was still working his way back to full match fitness and sharpness.

Will play a part in the second half of next season. ❌

Cycles, Certainty and the Summer Ahead: Rodgers and Celtic Reach a Defining Juncture.

My overthinking during the international break put down in a column! 👇

Haha, I’d never seen this.

New Column ‼️

After seeing the eye-watering price of the new Celtic/Adidas gear, the idealist in me wanted to rant about where football has gone and why fans are being taken for a ride.

Farewell Phil: We Hardly Knew You An ode to The Belgian Waffler and his media backers

An ode to our departing punch line…

Not the first opportunity. I'll disagree with that. But I've been carefully listening to his comments when he speaks about his current Celtic deal over the past 6 months. I think he said he'll be here for 3 years and he'll do 3 years.

Celtic Must Be Ready for Life After Rodgers—Whenever That Comes Six Years is a 'long time'.

Brendan Rodgers has been dropping breadcrumbs when it comes to his long-term future. I believe the Celtic manager has had a three-year plan from the beginning, and that's what we'll get.

Let's enjoy the ride, but be mindful of the future.

Editor Column: Brendan Rodgers Has Given Celtic Its Euro Pride Back Celtic have won their pride back in European Football, and after next weeks return leg against Bayern, a new challenge begins.

Celtic may have lost to Bayern, but this Champions League campaign has been a statement of growth.

Rodgers has restored our pride, but can the club hold it together and push on? My thoughts on this campaign and what’s ahead👇

UEFA Back Down: Celtic Win Maeda Red Card Appeal Celtic have successfully appealed Daizen Maeda’s two-match suspension, with the original ban now reduced to one game, meaning the Japanese forward will be available for the crucial Champions League clash against Bayern Munich at Celtic Park on Wednesday night...

Bhoys were outstanding tonight. Engels and Maeda in particular but we played brilliant football, great goals and we pressed and harassed until the full time whistle.

Thirteen points clear 🔥

The report at the end of the show was more chilling. Musk and his band of unmerry men riding roughshod over the US Treasury with the FBI already gutted enough for them to continue unimpeached.

That’s a fair point. My counter to that would be I don’t think people were laughing him for the act of crying as a man, but more gleeful a rival player was so upset by the defeat. I think we can all recognise and understand why he was upset. If that makes sense.

Thanks for the kind words Mikie.

Editor Column: Jota’s Return Was a Moment of Pure Emotion—So Why the Need to Dismiss It? Why Aiden McGeady and Kris Boyd was wrong to judge Jota.

Sorry the link didn’t work the first time!

Full piece 👇🔗 open.substack.com/pub/celtsare...

Jota’s return to Celtic was full of emotion—but not everyone appreciated it. McGeady & Boyd took digs at his reaction, but they completely missed the moment.

Football is built on passion—why sneer at it? 🤷‍♂️

Editor Column: CCV’s Fitness Holds the Key to My Celtic Joy (or Despair) Editor @CraigCelt looks at an issue that really came to the fore at Villa Park on Wednesday night, and how Celtic should be minded to fix it before the window closes.

So many positives on Wednesday, but the alarm bell in my head is deafening—what if CCV isn’t fit for the knockouts?

Does that “what if” push the club to act, or are they set to roll the dice?

My latest column for @celtsarehere.bsky.social Extra Time.

Rodgers confirms KT has signed a pre-contract agreement.

"Ideally it would (happen in January) but he’s still at this moment an Arsenal player.

"I think everyone is agreed that will definitely take place in the summer. If we can do it beforehand, then great."

Alex Valle heading to Como on loan for the rest of the season. Celtic agreed to the loan deal being terminated early to make this move happen.

He leaves with a League Cup medal and maybe a league title medal in the post. 🥇

Not bad for 19 appearances.

Brendan Rodgers Confirms Kyogo asked to leave 💬

Kyogo has arrived in France ahead of move to Rennes👇

It’s him.

Kyogo about to board a flight to Rennes earlier this afternoon.

You don't often see a club sell its top striker mid-season. If Kyogo does go, Celtic has 100% considered our league position. Had we been just 3 points ahead, there's no chance it would have happened.

Saying that, if Kyogo fancies it, and we have a replacement. Let's go.
