The only thing is Hearts are now in a position where they don't need the money so Celtic can't go and overpower them.
Celtic and Rangers can't do it.
Obviously Rangers got lucky with a clause in Shanklin's deal which again is a fantastic sign and I think he'll be Scotland's number nine at the World Cup.
but I think Celtic should be going and buying the best players in the league yet, whether that's Mazwanisi or Braga or Elliot Waugh or Elijah, just they need to be going for these guys over in Vuka, Adamu, Balaquisha, these players, because experience in Scotland, knowing the tempo of the game, how physical it can be, how much quality there is, even though it gets kind of spoke down on, is key, and Celtic cannot afford
But they also lost six of their eight games, didn't they?
because you don't know what Celtic team's going to come up and then but then I suppose ultimately at the end of the season Martin O'Neill was the manager that was standing with the Premiership trophy in the Scottish Cup above his head and he won games and what you need to remember regardless of anything is and I'm going to probably go out now with him here and say it
there was a few players in that team that weren't good enough, you've seen the problem he had in the left wing, with Taneke, with Adamu, Mvuka, Balakwisha, these players like, he couldn't play Maida on the left wing, because the striker position wasn't, Iheanacho wasn't fit enough,
Fanchara got injured probably wasn't up to standard I know he scored a penalty against Rangers or whatever but eh the problem for me is he never had at his disposal players that when he was first time around he had good players that he could put in the team motivate get them going you don't need to be playing a thousand passes to play good football see good attacking wing play with good strikers he had that in his first spell with Alan Thompson's even like his fullbacks were good
The thing for me is
he's been he's been trying to play with the hand he's been dealt and the hand he got dealt wasn't good enough that's not seven or eight players were but the rest of them he had to make do with it and when he got Johnson back they got a wee bit better by the end of the season they did not win seven out of seven including the cup against St Mirren now Wilfred Nancy regardless of what he's attacking playing whatever it was didn't win games of football would never ever last at Celtic because of that
Now, okay, they played good attacking football.
They didn't score enough.
So it was only one half.
The next half would be crap.
Sorry, not great.
That's how passionate I'm getting about this.
I think you're all right.
So that's fine.
I'll pay a fine to charity for that.
But 45 minutes out of 90 isn't good enough at Celtic.
