Good evening and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard as we move slowly into the international break. Celtic announce financial results and say it's time to support Martin O'Neill. So is this the end of the debate around his future for now at least? The Premiership, some of the lower leagues get ready to put the feet up, if you like, ahead of the international games coming up, and speaking of which, Scotland's preparations Well underway for the first of four games, as Sebastian Pocagnoli gets to work in La Manga, ahead of a trip to Slovenia. I'm Gordon Duncan. Joining me tonight, you've got Partick Thistles, Tony Watt, and Cammy Bell. You both embracing The international break, three week long, four games.
Gordon Duncan 1:00
Or are you still more interested in what we've just witnessed?
Cammy Bell 1:03
Eh, listen, the the old firm certainly sticks in my mind over the weekend. It was brilliant to be in here covering the game and uh obviously the result went sort of my way. Um but yeah, listen, the international games are exciting because we've got a new manager in place, so there's a lot of decisions to be made. That will interesting to see how his team shapes up and obviously the formation and style that he tries to introduce as well. Partict this will get any time off?
Tony Watt 1:27
Yeah, we've not got a game this weekend, so we've got a few days off, which is a good thing. So why is Oh because Dunfermline have got nationals. So is
Gordon Duncan 1:33
the key for a championship team to just sign sign a couple of under twenty one internationals and then you get your game off?
Tony Watt 1:38
I've got a few friends from Motherwell who've now played in League One and That's a wee debate in our group chat. Some of them have it off and some don't and they're saying just go down, sign a few internationalists and look I I I think it's still best of both worlds for me because the championship games are still on on Friday night. So we still get to see the club football, obviously our rivals, see what everybody's about and then Obviously Scotland. This is the most excited I've been for a Scotland camp in a while just for a a freshness, just to see what everybody's all about, to see what players get used and and see who can step up to the national field. So no, it's an exciting one for the weekend sh for sure.
Gordon Duncan 2:10
Oh one four one nine five one one oh two five. Are you as excited as Tony Watt and you want to look forward if that's the case, you can do But we're not daft, we're not naive. We know it's only Wednesday night. We know there's a lot of reflection to be done. And if that is the case for you, then the number is the same. This happened kinda later on in last night's show, so I suppose it's the first night that we can kick off with that update if you want from Celtic last night, announcing the financial results, some losses in there, and I think more Headline worthy was the quotes from Michael Nicholson, backing Martin O'Neill, if you like. So is that it for you? Is that the debate? Do you expect him to be the Celtic manager when you come out of the break, or did it leave the door open still for him to feel differently?
Gordon Duncan 2:54
uh come the next couple of weeks. Do let us know what you're thinking there on O one four one nine five one one oh two five. Maybe with three days distance you've changed your mind or seen something different or come up with a different conclusion from the weekend, by all means get them in. I think I said this last night and then it didn't quite materialise. Rangers fans, you ready to Praise your team and talk about what's going well, or are you still just enjoying the Glasgow crisis that's gone on on the other half of this city? This might be a good time to spread that discussion a bit further. Again, same number. If you've got any particular questions for Tony Watt, I'm sure he will field them. And I have to we
Gordon Duncan 3:32
He's no here to defend himself, so that's good. We can talk behind his back. This gap that Stenhouse Muir are opening up at the top for my own sanity cannot get any bigger.
