Latest Celtic News

Steve Clarke’s long-anticipated confirmation as the new manager of Scotland by the SFA yesterday was welcomed by Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain.

Paulo Sergio walked under the cover of darkness on Sunday night, the way he prefers it when he returns to Edinburgh. Like a character in a film noir with the collar of his jacket upturned and cigarette smoke billowing, few might immediately recognise him as the last Hearts manager to win the Scottish Cup.

The verdict seemed loud and clear on Sunday as supporters sang: “There’s only one Neil Lennon”. But Stiliyan Petrov believes the interim Celtic manager, who could be 90 minutes away from leaving the club, deserves more credit
for what he has done since replacing Brendan Rodgers.

The final league placings were confirmed on Sunday but how much did your club make?

Show me a Hearts fan who thinks their team can win the Scottish Cup and I’ll unmask him as a mad delusional fool who reckons Ernie Winchester was a surer shot in front of goal than the rifle he invented in his spare time… that Laryea Kingston was brave and committed and worth every penny… that 1 January, 1973 would have been different if only Eric Carruthers had scored in the first few minutes.

If the Scottish Cup comes Celtic’s way next Saturday to complete a barely believable treble treble, Neil Lennon would be entitled to take immense credit for bringing it home. He won’t, though. His arrival in late February following the rapid exit of Brendan Rodgers came with Celtic firmly on course to clinch an eighth straight title. It also, though, came the week they were gearing up for a Scottish Cup quarter-final tie at Easter Road, where Rodgers had never won.

The numbers James Forrest is posting in his career have long since taken on eye-watering properties.

It is often claimed that cup finals are a one-off. But, this term, there is some merit in that argument, according to Hearts manager Craig Levein.

Tony Watt is on the verge of joining Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia, according to the Scottish Sun.

Chris Sutton believes the reaction from Rangers fans and players to last weekend’s victory over Celtic has been “embarrassing”.
