can't think of a good title: SPFL 2020/2021

I'd quite like to have ticked Gayfield off my list if Covid-19 wasn't around - first competitive fixture there since 1979! Cue "you'll have a chance to visit next season" jokes.

haha

you'll have a chance to visit next year when we repeat this season

Truly saddened to learn of Ebbe Skovdahl’s passing. Ebbe was in charge of @AberdeenFC from 1999 to 2003, he was 75 years old. RIP ❤️ pic.twitter.com/tbyG7tPVvd

Marius Zaliukas dead at 36 from MND

Oh, that's terrible. I didn't know he was ill. Such a horrible horrible disease. RIP.

(Missed the news about Skovdahl as as well. Can't we have nice things any more? Ryan Christie's goal was a belter this afternoon)

Nice things were so hundreds of years ago :(

Fantastic finish from Christie but I'm still struggling to get worked up about fan-free-fitba. Like I appreciate the technique and applaud it like I would any of darragh's efforts in the 'I SCORED A GOAL FFS' thread but I don't get out of the eight month deep crater in my couch.

that zaliukas story is very sad. so young (not just saying that because we're the same age).

Celtic actually winning a game feels novel!

we not got a set piece coach or what

Have I requested the sacking of everyone recently? If not, that.

Highlight tonight was Lennon asking Kennedy for an opinion and Kennedy straight up shrugging and turning away

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At the moment it looks like the best hope for Celtic is to win every Old Firm game because Rangers are just rolling over everyone else. It helps that they have the advantage of a one goal start in every game though with a guaranteed penalty for Tavernier. I doubt they can keep it up for an entire season. Fingers crossed anyway.

11 points behind with two games in hand and three glasgow derbies left. ano celtic have been absolutely chronic so far but think people need to keep a wee bit of perspective. NL needs to do something to get on top of the three remaining derbies though because slippy has looked like he has his number

Gary Holt presumably leaving Livi for the Celtic job.

absolute shitshow

something of a bonus that it isn't another league game that gets Lennie his jotters

defence is a shambles

feels like the mowbray season

far far far too easy

The old cliche of "They must be wishing they could play this shower every week" comes to mind.

Esepcially this guy, Julis.

60 minutes at and home and 1-0 down and with 70% possession We've managed 3 shots on target and forced Ross Co into committing a total of 4 fouls. This team is done.

Lose this and he has to go.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out, eh?

Super Ross County Go Ballistic See You Later Lennie.

Still not sacked yet. Pull the finger out Lawwell

who are the candidates here

di canio in

I don't think they're going to sack him.

Keano

so far I've seen the following names floated

MON
jack ross
eddie howe
terence venables

slaney in

I actually have no idea but it feels like change is needed.

Big factor (ok excuse) for me this season is our 12th man usually helps while at Ibrox it can often add pressure so lockdown is costing us points.

slaney in

Si coach with Slaney as DOF.

Martin O'Neill 10/11
Jack Ross 11/8
Gordon Strachan 8/1
Dan Petrescu 14/1
John Kennedy 14/1
Eddie Howe 20/1
Henrik Larsson 20/1
Serhiy Rebrov 20/1
Alex Neil 22/1
Rafael Benitez 22/1
Malky Mackay 25/1
Marco Silva 25/1
Paul Lambert 25/1
Ralf Rangnick 25/1
Shaun Maloney 25/1
Steve Clarke 25/1

A club looking for a reasonable deal on Jack Ross probably shouldn't have set Leeann Dempster on her high horse over rearranged fixtures at the exact time they're looking to negotiate.

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18913123.police-alerted-financial-irregularities-st-mirren-fc/

Police Scotland have been alerted to financial irregularities at fan-owned St Mirren FC involving commercial agreements and possible non-payment of tax and national insurance.

defending's overrated

It's squaresville, man.

Shots each with the clown shoes again tonight.

We're overdue being the high profile comedy show in Scotland, need to just suck it up.

It all just seems so unnecessarily self inflicted when we're the only club with any fucking money.

forster's been a big loss

aye

we're stuck choosing between two unconvincing keepers who both look shot for confidence

I am taking small crumbs of comfort from occasional majestic Rogic touches and signs that Eddie has SPL level form in him

Milan are no Sparta Prague.

forster in goal and you have a more organised defence, a commanding presence at set pieces, and stops a whole bunch of the soft goals we've shipped. alas

even if we win this now (unlikely), it's the soft goals and continued vulnerability that keeps me worried

fucking comical

If you could just let us have the 3pts at the weekend that’d be grand, feel free to get a new manager in and pump everyone left right and centre after that.

"let you have" implies Celtic have some of influence over the outcome

17 goals conceded in 5 games, which is the worst of any team in this year's competition. We're like one of those teams from Malta or somewhere that manages to scrape into the draw and everyone else wants in their group.

not seen barkas make a save. get him punted

There would have been (more) rioting in the streets if Stevie Me hadn't won it tbf.

What a world we're living in when Celtic get a new manager and only find out about it days later and by accident. The world's gone mad I tell ye.

Anyone made the crack about Celtic being unable to attract a big name manager so settling for a manager with a big name instead yet?

the AP going for Mooy is an interesting rumour, he'd be a great signing I reckon but I'm slightly biased as he's the best Town player I have seen in my lifetime, as low a bar as that is. I think he'd have to take a pay cut because he's on super stupid megabucks at Shanghai and his brother recently died so idk if he'd want to be a couple of extra thousand miles away from home.

Mooy played for St Mirren right at the start of his career!

moy is a bhoy would be a good headline. make it happen ange

How good or otherwise is James Vincent? Can't say he stood out to me in the episodes of Sportscene I saw last season but maybe he just got short shrift in the edit

In normal times I wouldn’t be that excited to be in a football stadium for a pre-season friendly (St Johnstone vs Preston North End), especially with last season’s cup successes, but it’s 2021 and I am mildly excited to be in a stadium for a pre-season friendly.

Just the matter of PSV Eindhoven or Galatasaray for Saints in Europa League QR3 for Saints (we get the loser of that tie, Celtic or Midtjylland get the winner).

This whole story is outstanding. pic.twitter.com/5QHcZiryEA
