    Deserved a better partner in defense than Caldwell!

    In memory he will go down as being one half of that partnership and it wasn't a great one.
    Should have been McManus and Kennedy for years together - what could have been.

    Bit of a weird one, but I just imagined him in our back 4 alongside CCV. I reckon it'd be solid.

    Should really be moving this back to Celtic chat again since he’s apart of the back room staff

    In an important restructure, former Celtic captain, Stephen McManus will move from First Team coaching duties to work with Celtic’s B Team.


    I was keen to restructure our coaching set up, a critical part of this was having a close link between the first team and B Team coaching structures - and Stephen’s role will also be hugely important for us as we look to get that conveyer belt of talent going between the B Team, directly up to the first team.

    “The B Team will again compete in the Lowland League, something which will be a crucial development opportunity for our young players as they aim to progress and advance further. I wanted a really strong connection to the development of our B Team and Stephen, with his knowledge of our current first-team philosophy and demands will be ideal in this role.”

    Remains to be seen but I hope Ange is having as positive an impact as I hope he is, and he has had a say in this. I like Stephen McManus, certainly don't have any animosity towards him. Some comments on here about folk like him and Kennedy for example are fried, but just comments I suppose. Good luck to him.

    Poor Stephen. At least Ange dedicated most of his comments to his new role instead of Kewell :56:

    He doesn't look like he's aged.
