The last hurrah. At the end of July,. I phoned Bertie and his son Robert to come out to the studio to share a coffee, chat and a look around the Celtic room just to get him out of the house. A proper footballer, a Lisbon lion, a legend. Rest in peace Bertie Auld. 🙏💔#Celtic

It is now no longer about Neil Lennon as manager. It is about a board that has been guilty of complacency. A recruitment plan flawed and failed on more than a few signings. Ten in a row is now gone, the manager is to blame for on the field and the board off the pitch. #celtic.

If you have a family and feelings you should realise we are all Scott Brown. Football is only a game and not more important than life or death. Anyone who has met him knows off the park he is a decent boy with a great sense of humour. The latest abuse is sickening.

To all 42 clubs in the #spfl Save Hearts, Thistle and Stranraer. Include Brora and Kelty in the new set up. Try and put your scandalous, two faced, back stabbing, self-interest, self preservation attitude to one side and do the decent thing for all the clubs in Scotland.

Some people have short memories. Player revolt, tedious football, European humiliation and a man declaring his love while working his ticket out of the club. #historylesson

Swap plus cash. I’m told #Celtic keen on Kevin Nisbet with Leigh Griffiths and cash going to Easter road. In my view, Griffiths time at Celtic is up and the club are keen to move him out. Will #Hibernian bite?

My thoughts and prayers are with Frank McGarvey’s family on this very sad day. Frank was a great footballer and for me a wonderfully, funny and caring guy with a brilliant personality. He will greatly missed by his family and the many friends he had. Rest in peace Frank. 🙏

When Ange Postecoglou decides to leave, this board has to replace him with a forward thinking manager that can continue the style of football and try to progress in Europe. Looking backwards should not be an option.

I just don’t understand why Celtic’s ticket allocation at Easter road has been reduced. There are empty seats all over the place. Only in Scotland!!!.

That is one of the best performances I've seen from Brendan Rodgers’ side in Europe. That point could be massive. The players worked hard and gave him everything. A bit of luck but a midfield and back four tight together. Brilliant from Celtic. #CelticFC #ChampionsLeague

Boris Johnson backs Dominic Cummings and now has to go himself There is no way he can defend his position as a use of common sense The PM’s leadership and failings in dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak from January onwards has been catastrophic His own position is untenable.

Michael Beale had to go. He wasn’t the tactical genius that many claimed behind Steven Gerrard’s title win. An inexperienced manager with no proven track record failed miserably as I predicted he would against Rodgers and a club who can outspend them by a tenner for ever fiver!

That was absolutely fantastic from Celtic. Great credit to the players and the manager. The learning curve from a heavy defeat in Germany to a great draw in Italy and a magnificent win over a top drawer Bundesliga side. Well done Celtic 👏👏.#CelticRBLeipzig #ChampionsLeague

My thoughts and prayers are with Walter Smith's family on this sad day. He loved Rangers, loved talking football and he would do anything to help you. If ever a man deserved a statue outside Ibrox, it is Walter. Rest in peace Walter Smith, a true legend and gentleman. 🙏

Ange Postecoglou may well be the favourite for the #Tottenham job, but there’s more to achieve at Celtic. Sadly #Spurs have a board that stunts a manager’s ambitions. #poisonchalice #sacksgoodmanagers.

At the end of a disappointing day in Scottish football, we now move on. What have we learned? This is groundhog day in #spfl history. There is division, mistrust, self preservation and a complete lack of compassion, not to mention no sporting integrity. The 11-1 vote must go too.

The sooner the #SPFL change the rules to ban all weather astro turf pitches in the top flight the better. The quality of this game between #kilmarnock and #Aberdeen is poor, not helped by a surface that alters the way teams play. It’s a joke.

Nobody should be fooled by any sweeteners offered by this government today. A group lining their pockets, guilty of lying, racism and protecting countless people making huge profits during covid. Remember the record of Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak in the last 14 years.

Never been more proud to be Scottish than tonight. Absolutely magnificent, Steve Clarke’s #SCO side deserved to win. Listening to ill-informed pundits this week predicting a four and five nil win or an easy win for #ENG would make your blood boil. #EnglandvsScotland #EURO2020.

What we are brilliant at doing in this country is telling you if one game is crap, it is crap I’ve listened to two managers telling me their aim is to avoid relegation & they finished top 6 last season 3 plastic pitches in the top flight & no sponsor for the league. I could go on.

The win against Celtic merely papering over the cracks. 15 points behind the champions now acceptable for Rangers. 4 wins in 16 away games. You have to presume financially the board cannot afford to sack Clement right now.
