How is the standard in that league compared to ours?

Unfortunately we are and always have been a selling club ………..it wouldn’t be ideal as both have been outstanding this season……….. as long as they don’t end up along the M74 / M8

Its a bit of a double edged sword. Circling vultures will know full well that he has the ability and think they can bring out the best in him. However, when dealing with MFC they'll plead that he's overachieved and they're doing us a favour by taking him off our hands for a fee (a modest one of course)

Said before but I would punt Maswanhise asap, form since end of January poor and I just feel like Bair we cash in while value decent. Also just my view but if Rangers were serious about Watt then how about £2.5 million and Findlay Curtis?. Think that would be good business for players we signed for hee haw

Agree 💯. Oneill back to his old self, tries the charm but once confronted goes into full defence mode.

He's back to missing sitters, sell him asap for as much as possible , gives time to look for a replacement, which hopefully we have been doing. He reminds me of a fast Higdon or Van Veen having a good two thirds of a season.

Stama played in the A-League final had a great game unfortunately his team got beat 1-0 at least he got a medal

Straight out the grizzly book of jokes , the one he co wrote with lenny Henry.

Sectarian bigots wont condemn sectarian bigotry.

Unfortunately, I dont see Just being available for the initial European games, even if we havent sold him. He is going to the World Cup and will need a break after that for a couple weeks at least, which brings you pretty much right up to the date of the first game. He is a fit guy and probably wont have lost that much fitness in a short period of time, but Im sure we would want to ease him back into training before he plays a competitve game. Hope Im wrong, as he is absolutely essential to what we do.

100% We can’t afford to lose Watt & Just, one would be bad enough but both along with Slattery would decimate our midfield. Losing one of them would be difficult enough but both is out of the question - I hope. If possible I’d like to keep Watt & Just until the European ties are done at the very least giving us time to bed in any replacements alongside Priestman if need be.

When we hired JBA we mentioned how many young players he gave their debut, but my guess is the analytics are more around how his teams play, i.e. possession, formations, tactics and the like. This is more about the higher level clubs, but is pretty interesting: https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/48758776/want-hire-next-jurgen-klopp-how-data-help-clubs-pick-manager

We've been told that the hunt for our new manager (and players) will involve analytics. What exactly is this? Without wishing to know the fine details, presumably its a program/method that matches our requirements i.e open expansive football; run on a tight budget; squad size; level of ambition etc to the skillsets, personality and achievements of individuals. Does anyone know a wee bit more about this?

Scotland's Coefficient on Facebook says...

I was always impressed by him. Very knowledgeable, well spoken and polite. Avuncular in fact. However some years ago, he point blank refused to condemn sectarianism at Parkhead, when put on the spot. That did it for me and his latest comments just reinforce my opinion of him.

O’Neill has always been a nasty piece of work. Don’t let his doddery auld man act fool you, he has always been able to appeal to the worst element of Celtic’s support. He did it years ago when he was there first time around and he is doing it again with his comments about the penalty against us and the behaviour of their support last week. Deflect, deny and lie through your teeth. That is the Glasgow Celtic way and O’Neill is an absolute master of it all.

Im here too had a bit of respect for him but his comments and behaviour lately have left me feeling that he himself is just a grown up ned.

Yes but same still applies re my comments above. If we’d invaded and ref had done same as in the Celtic hearts game then no pen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ignored what you did there 😂

I see what you did there 🤣 On the subject of new manager I can confidently predict it won't be Lenny

Maswanhise to Anderlecht noise again. If we got £3m I’d be ok with that. Tough to replace but he’s been poor to an extent since February. I’d be less annoyed losing him than Watt/Just.

Neil Lennon yet

Yes, you’re probably right. In as much that when Beaton blows the whistle for Celtic player to take the kick, that restarts the game after VAR stoppage and they don’t stop the clock once the player scores so the 20 seconds times out.

If the match is approaching full time and there is a penalty awarded or Var check for a penalty the game time is extended until that process is complete ie Var check over or penalty taken and the ball stops moving ie hitting the net or crossbar, crowd etc at that moment if its over the alloted added time if any the game is over. So as much ad it pains me to say, Beaton actually got that part correct, as the game was over when the ball hit the net so before the pitch invasion.

Well, that’s the final Done. Hibs will be happy.
