'Glasgow is a tough place to live and there are certain parts of the city you just don't go.'

F**king sounds like Lurgan

It was £4m for Scott Brown actually and he help deliver a league title. Also Roy Keane was a dud signed against Strachan's wishes for the purpose of signing merchandise.
Was Martin O'Neill found out in the last match of the 2004/05 season?

Managers tend to  want "their own teams" for egotistical reasons. In my opinion Mowbray has moved a lot of players on who have experience of winning Scottish League titles and there is no guarantee or evidence that his replacements are any better.

Also as I've said before, if Strachan had had the luxury of bringing in Robbie Keane this time last year, he would have won a fourth title in a row.

Such rubbish as usual yedo. Strachan met Keane at Desmond's house in London and they discussed Keanes role at Celtic. The decison was Strachans alone.

Funny how Lawwell subsequently admitted later that he was signed with an eye on merchandise sales. That suggests he was not the choice of Stachan, numpty

What it suggests is that Lawell as CE admitted the club could make money from merchandise of the back of Keane signing. What is wrong with that? What it does not suggest in any shape or form is that Keane was signed against Strachan's wishes. The only person who can tell us if he was signed against his wishes is Strachan himself. Read his book yedo there is not even a hint of it.

He's not Celtic's manager now. Has he said anything different since he left. Its not common knowledge to me that Keane was signed above his head. First you said it was for the sale of merchadise now its down to rumour and hearsay that Keane was signed above Strachans head. Yedo try to back up some of the rubbish you spout.

its that long ago he probably doesn't give a fcuk. As if you would know anyting about it.

I´m sure Roy would be insulted by any suggestion other than it was Roy who chose to go Celtic.

Strachan wrote in his book that it was already a done deal between Desmond and Keane when he met them in Desmond's mansion, that Desmond had wanted Keane badly and had already negotiated the contract. The contract that Keane would be on - a wage deal that would make Keane only the   8th highest earner in the club and also conditional on number of appearances. Strachan met Keane and Desmond after these terms had been negotiated. Strachan claims that Keane's signing was unconditional, he had to prove his worth to the team and Strachan could make no promises.

Desmond was the force to sign Keane and negotiated a good deal. Keane made no demands or preconditions and impressed Strachan at their meeting.
A manager would have to blindly obstinate not to appreciate a player like Keane on those terms.

The defending on both sides is beyond a joke.

f**king shambolic, no gameplan or organisation, defending clueless as usual, Dons could have had 2 penalties, a very lucky three points, that is if three points do eventually materialise.
