If he gets on

CELTIC Football Club is delighted today to confirm that Tony Mowbray has been appointed the new Celtic manager. Tony will be joined at Celtic by Mark Venus, Peter Grant  and Neil Lennon in the new Celtic management team.

This is fantastic news for the club and we look forward to officially unveiling Tony as the new Celtic manager at a news conference at Celtic Park tomorrow (Wednesday, June 17) at 10am

To be fair if he was appointed manager instead of strachan two years ago I'd have been delighted.
the gloss has came off due to his relegation with west brom.
He was a fantastic manager with hibs and if he brings back the 433 formation that I think Celtic need for the spl, then it could be a return quickly to glory.


I must have words with the fella that was convinced that Wim and Adams were to be appointed.
I'll be telling him that either willo flood is a fecking liar or he is !

I'm really looking forward to watching Celtic play a bit of entertaining football again, the last few years have been hard to watch and although we have been very successful we were hard to watch. If we can win the title back and play a bit of sxy football the fans will delighted.

Its not an appointment to set the pulses racing but it was never going to be.  £2m is quite a lot of money considering that's going to come out of the transfer kitty which will already have been only £5-6m at most.  I do think he'll be good enough to wrestle the title back and obviously its very important to him to be seen as a manager who plays sexy football.  After the turgid football last year we need a bit of entertainment so I'm reasonably pleased to hear this deal's been done.

[T Fearon]

Its all right setting out to play entertaining football. Remember Liam Brady had this objective and succeeded in the most part but failed to deliver any trophies. Ditto Tommy Burns (except for one Scottish Cup).

At the end of the days winning trophies is all that really matters, and this is what Mowbray will ultimately be judged on

Mark Mcghee to get a crack at Celtic first rattle...........

worst first fixture possible

I don't know much about Mobray, if I watched West Brom it would have been by accident.
Apart from wishing Celtic well , I'd be curious to see how Mobray applies himself to the task. See how his ability matches up to his ambitions. A manager usually makes a statement of intent with his first signings.
No use wondering would he have done better with Naka as japan seem to do.

If McGeady sticks around it could mark a serious development in his overall game.
It will be a big test to get some team ready for the CL qualifiers

12 month rolling contract? What's that about?

12 month rolling contract? What's that about?

Hardly a vote of confidence is it ?

I like the man though and hope he does well, always tried to play the right way unlike Strachan who was never really idolised at Parkhead.
