    This man is going to be a Celtic great and an absolute Legend. He comes across as a charismatic figure that commands respect and there will be no messing with him. I love how he refuses to accept negativity and always strives to be positive. I thought that it was funny when they mentioned how he was doing with our weather and he said he didn't bother himself with stuff like that. Just shut it down and nipped it in the bud like that. Doesn't give them an inch. It's like he tolerates them as a necessary part of the job. Yes I think we will do well with him. You can see that he's an all in kind of guy.

    Was he asked anymore today about potential incomings?

    I think the one they were talking about was from his very first training session.

    His style of football really is a not to watch and something his old man, and every football fan wants to see.

    We've taken possession based football and shown you can create attacks and chances while still having it.

    No need to do the passing around the back, recycling the ball, waiting for space to open up.

    Always wanted to see us run at teams and create that space, and we are. It's working.
    It's brilliant to see.


    It's still early days though and there are still a few big games/questions he is going to come up against, but on the face of it right now, I don't see any of it being a problem.

    Against what could be argued as the bottom six sides, we are likely to see regular high scoring games like today.
    Against top half teams, perhaps a bit more like the hearts cup game? Plenty of goals, in control and never in doubt, but you'll see us ship a few.

    The good thing though, the backline even as it is, is getting more co fixent and leaders. Hart has surprised me, he's switched on and springs in to action when called upon. We will need that a lot I think in future.


    Just a joy to watch these last few games. The way football should be played!

    Sorry if it's been said before and I'm sadly not able to get to many games but do we have a proper ange chant yet?

    That was another thing that * me off last season. There was no real celebrations from the players and very little show of emotion from the side-lines when we scored however, you can see the togetherness in the team now whenever we score, both from the players and the side-lines

    I can guarantee you that Shved would've been a player at Celtic under Ange. I have no doubts about it.

    Can't wait to see Dembele and Mikey come back.
    He'll bring these two on a lot I reckon and will provide so much more depth up front.

    He wasn’t really a player with us outwith a wee cameo under Rodgers and Lennon so 90 mins on the pitch would have trumped it

    I have a feeling that MJ won't play more than 12 games a season.

    Dembele is for the off, unfortunately. His contract is up at the end of next season, is it not?

    End of this one, unfortunately

    I'm concerned for Mikey injuries, if he can't shrug them, then he's gonna struggle here.

    But I'm convinced Dembele is gonna thrive under Ange when he gets back to fitness again.

    Forrest was completely plagued by injuries early in his career. Granted its so different
    Would be a real shame if mikey can't shake these injuries, seemed like a bad one too. He has shown the potential big time and it seems like with his energy and inventiveness he could be a real ange player if he can get himself back to what he was

    For a season and then will leave for free.

    I can't see him playing much if he hasn't signed a long term contract with us. Think Ange would rather focus on those who are staying ie Forrest and Abada.

    He's willing to give Christie and Édouard their chances.

    I think he'll give him a fair chance, if we can get him enjoying his football here and performing for us, I'd like to think he will be open to signing a new deal.

    Hopefully comrade. Love Christie and French Eddy to commit to another season on top of that.
