i'm especially looking forward to the prospect of up to 6 of our bhoys facing off on the international stage on friday, with maybe another 4 or 5 playing elsewhere.

keeps getting better!

mb

I hate International week as we have a full team away (several playing against each other) and invariably getting injured.
We have been without Broony and Matthews for many games so far - and Brown missed the game on Sunday - evidently rested for the Scotland match?
We have just re-gained European respect and we are playing well consistantly at last and personally Celtic are much more important than Clue-less Craig Levein.

Jungle Jim

Agree with you JJ. times have moved on and internationals no longer hold the pull they once did. certain domestic leagues and the CL offer a higher quality of football. The biggest thing they offer is concern over injuries and the impact to our team as we chase domestic dominance and european progression. The wales game is primed for an injury or 2 due to the type of game that will unfold, I just hope and pray that none of our players are involved. Stevo Dundee

A think anyone in the scotland squad would rather play a international game rather than a scottish domestic game anyday, times havent moved that far stevo

So playing in a game against wales or in england's case san marino is better than some of the big cl games or super sunday clashes that sky promote? thats before we even consider the top leagues in europe.
ask the players and if being honest these games and wages are far more important. ignore the pc drivel spouted before the internationals. stevo dundee

Internationals only hol no value to the selfish fan! For mist players it is still an honour to be considered for their country and are proud to play for their country {Ed007's Note - Players are not keen on playing internationals, CL football is where it's at.}

Cheers Ed, voice of reason as always! Stevo Dundee

Do not forget we lost john kennedy due to Rnagers doctor making him walk from one side of the pitch to the tunnel thus causing more damage to the injury i have no problem with players wanting to play for scotland but if injured then they do not receive wages from the club.

Who's talking about England and super Sunday? ( because its called super Sunday doesn't make it any better than Saturday) I am talking about Scottish domestic, in particular Celtic ok there 6 cl games to be played but this is for the first time in 4 years? And a first time for a lot of them, so a do think the internationals have been a welcome get away with a better standard of football, except maybe the odd old firm.

Owen Coyle sacked at Bolton. Glad we did not end up with this guy as many were calling for. He does not even look like a manager sitting on the bench in a pair of football shorts shouting through cupped hands like a reserve or a supporter. Lucky escape there methinks.

Coyle proved himself to be a good manager. He will get another job soon enough. Wouldn't swap him for Lenny though! Martin O'Neill didn't exactly dress like a top flight manager but no-one complained about him!

Joeshmo1888

What are you gok wans talking about? What does it matter what the manager wears? Look at fat sal 3rd div(not got a clue)and he wears a suit,.,.kbarry

Bit harsh on the guy. He's a good celtic man. He will get another job soon.

Managers often wear the same outfit of the manager who they were closest to as a player. Some like Pulis wear silly hats, some wear tracksuits, Brian Clough first, then MON, and then Lenny and Paul Lambert. I would take the guy wearing football kit above some of these ridiculously garbed managers from the continent, what about the German manager at the Euros, or the Dutch one! What about the Benfica manager! For goodness sake these guys look like they have walked straight out of a metrosexual magazine cover. Perfect teeth, perfect hair a suntan to shame TS. Not to mention the suits worth thousands of bucks with the usual 20K Rolex accessory or similar to finish off the outfit! Owen Coyle is a decent bloke and a decent hard working manger who knows where his roots are. Have a go at OC by all means but if you really want to critisise what managers wear just watch euro sport for an hour or two or a few CL matches. There is plenty more to entertain you there I assure you. Sopot Celt

First 2 say I wud off took coyle before Lennon anyday but now different story but give the guy a break Bolton what chance u got. Hail hail

@Sopot Celt: one name for you - Guardiola.

Whats wrong with wearing a suit and theres nothing wrong with wearing a tracksuit or shorts the manager manages nothing to do with style or anything but i would be a fan of the stylish suits myself why not??
Donegal Bhoy

Guardiola....He quit after 3 or 4 years as a manager, had a huge budget with most of the worlds best players willing to play for him.The word on the street is he could not hack the pressure. And your point is? PS I am getting a little concerned with the references to mens suits in such a positive way stylish or not! This is a footballing forum or so I thought. Sopot Celt.

Rangers fan here i think owen coyle is a decent guy and a good manager i wish him all the best in the future

OP here, I never said OC was not a decent honest man. He has had a chairman who has backed him to the hilt both personally and financially (Chairman is the clubs biggest debtor to a tune of over 130 million pounds). I have sat with Bolton supporters who wanted him to do well. Even when things were going bad they wanted to at least see him getting off the bench and directing the players. Did not look or act like the man in charge. Too nice a guy wanting to be one of the boys which is the message which came across to the players and supporters. You look at the successful managers - pushing shouting cajoling the team. All the best done that (regardless of apparell). OC very rarely moved from the dugout {Ed001's Note - you mean like Bob Paisley? He is the greatest manager ever, in my opinion. He was never a shouter.}

And Bob Paisley wore....?
Sorry ED but he looked liked a man in charge and there was no doubt to the players on the park who was making decisions {Ed007's Note - Personal appearance has nothing to do with success. If you are worried about what managers' are wearing rather than the results on the park you should stick to watching Gok Wan.}

Also ED. The supporters I mix with wanted OC to do well but after 2 years of this they gave up. They saw no direction, no drive and when aftermatch came there was the same old story and mostly defending lost causes. Not personal as O believe OC is a really decent person but not strong enought for EPL.Champonship or SPL.

Don't get me wrong I hope we have a successful Lenny in charge for a decade plus but should the day come when he needs replaced Owen Coyle has to be up there. His work with Burnley was fantastic. I reckon given his history he'd understand Celtic as well.

Hes not strong enough for the Championship? Didnt he just get promoted from it?

To be fair to the guy, he was unlucky to get relegated last season. Bolton had a lot of key players injured and they struggled because of it. good luck to him anyway!

Yes he got promoted from the Championship with Burnley then took Bolton back down to it! Anyway, I for one, am glad we did not get him and that's based on what I see and hear. So some of us can agree to disagree.

Brian Clough legend,shorts and sweat shirts so whats your point caller? jimthetim.

Wow, serious talk here. i mean. id rather my gaffer wasnt in a suit like the rest of society wants/expects him to be
get a grip mofo

ruddy
hutton hoiveld caldwel fox

dorrans adam mccarthy

snodgrass maloney
jelavic


alrite this teams isnt world class but i reckon this teams would do well for themselves in the epl. a just wanted you thoughts. i know rangers arent an spl team any more but im sick of they way they english talk about our league yet there are a load of former spl based players now in the epl.these arent the only ones these are just who i thought would make the best team.u could easily make another 11. thoughts ed

What about Steven fletcher ?

Petrov aswell got to be in ther

Boruc davis too but looks a good team
g the ger

Thats what i mean i had completely forgotten about fletcher and petrov. theres loads of ex spl players in the ep. theres still the likes of mcfadden,craig gordon,barry ferguson,james mccarthur and now ki is down there aswell. they slate our league but the fact is the players are good enough they just make our league out to be crap so they get players on the cheap

Ruddy
hutton hooiveld caldwell bardsley
petrov mccarthy davis adam

im sure there is more but them lot alone is a pretty strong squad

also the championship is full of ex spl

i was thinking this myself not so long ago, they all take the piss but almost every team down south has some sort of spl/sfl connection

You are all forgeting arteta

I'm enjoying this ex-OF love-in but being a 'glass-half-empty' type of guy I have to put my five-pen'orth in. Boumsong, Hutton, Cuellar and others were bummed up beyond their abilities by the MSM - in order to generate income for a financially-bereft Rangers. Hutton was touted as the white Cafu but, sadly, he has been found wanting at the higher level and every move he makes is to a lesser club than the one before. Boumsong was a strange one - never generated a single transfer fee until (ex-Rangers manager) Graeme Souness took him from Rangers (who signed him on a Bosman free transfer) to Newcastle for over £8m. This transfer was the subject of an EPL enquiry. He was eventually sold to (relegated to Serie B) Juventus for £3.3m. MON obviously saw enough in Charlie the Horse to trigger (no pun intended) his buy-out clause but the jury is still out on that one.The Rangers centre-back Danny Wilson was also spun as the new (Scottish) Beckenbauer which encouraged Kenny Dalglish to splash over £2m + add-ons for him. Where is he now? Can you blame English clubs for being sceptical about Scottish imports when they have failed to live up to the hype? (By way of exceptions I would say Charlie Adam going to Blackpool for £500k was an absolute snip - maybe Rangers didn't know how to deal with / market a creative midfielder?)

Gordon
Hutton Berra Caldwell Van bronkhurst
Fletcher
Petrov. Atreta
Jealvic
Fletcher. McClair

All played in EPL probably missed a few others but a decent team I think

Scrap that!!

Gordon
Hutton Amoruso Gough Van Bronkhurst
Fletcher
Petrov. Arteta
Laudrup
Larsson. McClair

EPL champions I reckon!

Rangers fan here most of the players that have left the spl can cut it down south ie jellyfish wee malloney to name a few i think scottish football gets an unfair press in england the standard of football is good in scotland this is so english clubs can get spl or scottish players on the cheap your club proved that in the cl with the win against moscow well played celtic

Good team but your absolutely having a gyraffe with big Amo.

Ever remember his first interview for Scottish tv and he was talking about himself in the second person. "Amoroso plays like this", "Amoruso was attracted to Rangers because they are a big club" what a f*nny!

Hate to say it but everyone has left out Naismith n'all.... not sure if that was intentional. Lol ChrisBhoy
