    Uefa want us and England to get rid of the league cup anyway. Most European leagues have 2 trophies...league title and fa cups.
    League cup is pretty much a nothing trophy and as you say...might count towards a treble but in essence it's a pointless trophy only still used over here for the prestige of saying a treble.
    If it's still to be played for you're right in that a club our size should see it as an opportunity to promote youth and integrate into first team

    Broony removes his personality infront of cameras, unless it’s targeted like when he ‘didn’t give a…. monkeys’

    I’ve been to some nights him as a speaker and it’s night and day, and when he’s got down to nitty gritty of games talking about them he’s very insightful. Anytime he’s been a pundit but he holds back, majorly.

    The best pundit that we’ve seen at points, by far the most insightful and tactically switched on is Shaun Maloney. I’ve seen him being called boring though. Getting right into the tactics and nitty gritty * of management decisions, a lot of people watching dont want to hear. They like a pantomine like Boyd and Sutty slaughtering each other with occasional insight.

    Yes Maloney, will make a great coach but unfortunately doesn’t have the personality or charisma to pull off being a top class manager.

    Sorry but I’ve yet to hear anything insightful from Scott Brown. As you say he definitely does clam up in front of the cameras. He’s a bit better now but even his press conferences as a Celtic player/captain were at times excruciatingly awkward, the press trying to get him to say anything other than a couple of cliched sentences were akin to trying to get blood out of a stone. When you consider his personality when he’s on the pitch it does really add up but in his earlier interviews he actually came across as very introverted. Although to be honest I couldn’t care less how a player deals with the media, all that matters to me is what he does for Celtic on the pitch.

    Actively booing and not respecting remembrance day and those who fought for all our freedom is utterly disgraceful.
    I am once again ashamed to be Celtic supporter.

    Well done Brendan for wearing the poppy.

    I miss the Tommy Burns 94-97 era.

    Heartbreaking at times cause we just couldn't get the better of rangers.

    But the enthusiasm and hope of the era was brilliant. The crowd seemed louder then..even although we only had a 40k capacity at the time. The singing seemed louder...there was a 'roar' not a 'cheer' when the goals went in. People went ape * in the stands when we scored against rangers.....Jorge cadete scored on his debut and the roar broke the bbc mics in the stadium......same as in 96 Scottish Cup against Dundee Utd at Celtic Park 2 goals in 2 mins in injury time..Van Hooijdonk and Thom...roar was deafening then too. You don't seem to get that now.......

    Or is it just nostalgia?

    I just watched 5 nil at Love Street 86 again there. ........

    And my honest opinion is, goal number 3...is the greatest team goal scored in our history.
    And it's only an unpopular opinion because....Maurice Johnston....scored it....

    And I don't know how I feel about that.

    McGrain...McLeod... McStay...to Aitken, back to McGrain....McClair...nutmeg....insane build up.
    .then there's Judas himself to side foot it in. I just dunno like...I feel like I need to have a serious think aboot this
