never named ricco annoni remember him oh the memories..

It's true alright, look at some of the players we have had over the years and look at the players we have now...There is not 1 Celtic player now that could get his place in any of the top 6 teams in the premiership. Last year i would have said Boruc and McGeady but on current form i don't believe they're god enough. Scott Brown is a tough tackler with a good engine but skill wise he's no Paul McStay...

I know i sound critical of the current Celtic team but the quality has got worse and worse until they are unwatchable at times, that Lee Naylor at left back is a shame to a professional footballer never mind a Celtic player, our central defence are so ordinary it's not funny. Midfield are hot and cold and our strikers are rank, compare McDonald, JVOH and Samaras with Hartson, Sutton and Larsson

[under the bar]

Its not over yet.A Rangers fan from work told me today its 3 years since Rangers beat Dundee Utd at Tanadice.

So there's still hope!

Rangers won't be denied on the last day, the masons will see to that............

Compare the cost of putting those 3 together (£12.6m?) with what the current 3 cost. You get what you pay for.

Once GDA gives up the ghost, only then we can say all hope is gone.

Never over until the ref blows the final whistle on Sunday.
I do think we will put in a good show against Hearts hopefully a winning performance, but I'll be a nervous wreck checking on the Huns match every 2-3 mins, come on the Terrors youse owe the Orcs a tanking for last year!

The quality of the team is commensurate with the budget, that sadly is the way of modern football. But Celtic are financially sound and well placed for the future, unlike the US debt ridden coroporations in Manchester and Liverpool.

At Celtic Park on Sunday I nevertheless expect to witness a game of football played out amid the backdrop of the best atmosphere and passion anywhere in World Sport, and it will be all the sweeter if the league title is retained against all the odds

Give me Croke Park on the 3rd Sunday in September any day!

[Clown]

i think ur over-rating wot the atmosphere is going to be like, it'll prob be good at the start but once rangers take the lead it'll be subdued and if they go onto win i wud expect some fans to turn on the team and manager and ritely so having let a 7 point lead slip twice this season and letting one of the worst rangers team in history become champions

i really dont share ur optimism, we've given the huns a major lifeline by not beating hibs and i fully expect them to take it
i hope i am proved wrong on here come monday morning tho!

[T Fearon]

I prefer to be optimistic, but I repeat an early Celtic goal on Sunday is imperative, in order  to put pressure on the huns big time. The Celtic support will roar themselves hoarse for 90 minutes, regardless of what happens at Tannadice, and I thnk they're big enough to take defeat should the unthinkable happen. Remember leagues can be won and lost in the last five minutes, as we saw at Fir Park in 2005.

Tony the gers will be champions. I think you are being a bit too optimistic. Celtic have thrown it away.

[T Fearon]

Well you can get 11/4 on Celtic winning the Championship, and 1/3 Rangers. Would you put a grand on the huns? I wouldn't

[slow corner back]

Dundee Utd need a point to ensure european football next season and so will not in any way shape or form lie down to the orcs. They have yet to loose at home to the old firm this season so its all to play for yet.

[T Fearon]

As I said before if it were not for the crucial goal difference advantage Celtic have, I wouldn't be nearly as optimistic, as the huns would have camped in their own half looking for a draw. The ideal scenario is that Celtic score early and have the points in the bag at half time and the huns are still only drawing (or better still losing) at the same stage.

[Croí na hÉireann]

Neither of them deserves to win it this season. Have been on the fence about Strachan but regardless if it's pulled out of the fire or not I think he's got to go in the summer. Would be great to see Moyles make the move back north...

[T Fearon]

I think Moyles will remain with Meath. As for Davie Moyes leaving Everton for the SPL, there is a greater chance of Ian Richard Kyle Paisley being the next Pope
