STRACHAN LEAVES CELTIC

It was the news that many had part-expected, but the resignation of Gordon Strachan this afternoon still came as a shock to Celtic fans across the world.

After the disappointment of Sunday, when all hopes and aspirations of 4 SPL titles in a row were crushed following a dreary draw against Hearts, Strachan clearly felt he had taken the Bhoys as far as he could.

While Strachan did not enjoy overwhelming support amongst the Celtic support, the record books establish a tenure as manager that is extremely enviable. Despite the shock elimination from the Champion’s League at the start of his reign – in a qualifier against minnows Artmedia Bratislava – Strachan’s first year in charge culminated in a League and Cup...

Celtic and Rangers entered today 2 points apart, with Rangers holding the advantage at the top after a slip up from Celtic last week against Hibernian. It was a nervy afternoon for both sets of supporters as they waited to see who would be crowned the SPL Champions. With both games kicking off simultaneously it was sure to be a heart wrenching end to a long, hard season.

Celtic needed Dundee Utd to take a point at least...

Heart in mouth time for Celtic.

As SPL Champions Celtic kick off their final league game of the season against Hearts this coming Sunday, fans of the Bhoys will reflect upon 287 days of nail-biting tension. Emotions on day one of the season ran strong, as Rosemary Burns hoisted the 2007/2008 SPL Champions Flag over Celtic Park during the pre-match festivities. Her husband, the late Tommy Burns, will never be forgotten as a player, a manager, or a human being. It was a fitting, yet tragic tribute to a man who gave so much to the Club he loved.


The late, great Tommy...

Lost in Leith

Hibernian once again played the role of SPL party-poopers, as Celtic were held to a 0-0 draw at Easter Road on Sunday and threw away a great opportunity.

The game presented the chance for The Bhoys to go back to the top of the table for the final day, after Rangers 2-1 win over Aberdeen the previous day.

Celtic, however, could not seize the 3 points available and the title is now one win away from heading to Ibrox for the first time in Gordon Strachan's reign.

Hibernian V’s Celtic Match Preview

In what is proving to be another enthralling finale in the title race Celtic find themselves at the summit of the table with only two games remaining, separated from their Old Firm rivals by a mere two goals. On Sunday the Bhoys travel through to Leith hoping to build on their nervous midweek win over Dundee United as they take on Hibernian at Easter Road in the battle of the greens.

With the destiny of the championship back in their own hands after the midweek results Gordon Strachan’s charges will be looking to take all three points back to Glasgow from the Capital. As there is a high possibility of the league being decided on goal difference Celtic have the advantage of playing 24...
