    If it's an advisory role, okay I've no qualms with that he knows Celtic, the fans the culture etc but if this is a way to get him into the DOF role then they can * right off.

    Might be jobs for the boys but

    He is really intelligent Football wise,
    He isn't a yes man
    And he can give his boy a slap and tell him to start doing some work

    Is he not involved at Dundee in an official capacity? Surely that's a conflict of interest?

    On the other hand maybe it's a 3 for 2 deal kicking in.

    Not surprised, after the way that Dom worded his response to that question at the Presser, it had me worried that he was going to be sly about it.

    He specifically said not as a director of football

    expect the title to be "Sporting Director" or "Technical Director" if that is the case.


    Honestly, he's so far removed from any aspect of "modern" it would be truly baffling to appoint him in any capacity to over see the modernisation of a football club.

    Overseeing the youth development.

    Do we not remember some of his comments when he was Scotland manager? He’s a * dinosaur. He’s been awful in his role at Dundee never mind landing one here.

    McKay can get to * as well.

    Don’t even get started on his comments about Adam Johnson.

    He’ll * love Griffiths.

    * * man, one step forward and two steps back again. What the * could Gordon Strachan offer at this stage in his career. * me, when he was our manager he was already a * dinosaur of the game. Don't think ange needs recommendations off the man who signed dion Dublin and Adam virgo ffs

    Nepotism is common where I come from. Strachan was a good manager, but why do his sons have to be employed here? Now he's going to look over them... We're a private nursery, FFS.

    Such a needless backwards step and totally killing the feel good factor

    Tbh I’ve no issue with Strachan getting involved with the academy. He’s big on fitness and development, and has a lot of experience. He’s also completely football daft so he’ll give it his all at the very least.

    Aye, "genetics" for his failures..

    Sacked by Sky for comparing Adam Johnson's beasty behaviour to racist abuse..

    Talked a whole load of waffle on Celtic TV as well..

    He should be nowhere near here. The full Strachan family aboard........

    Our best youth players have been leaving in droves recently and the ones left arent good enough. Appointing Strachan as the head of that department won't exactly help.

    It's not the DOF role, which utterly terrified me, and there's a chance it's completely * as the Sun got it completely wrong before.

    But of an overreaction. Don't take great issue with his involvement in youth
