There’s a harsh truth for some of you this morning, a reminder that not only time does not stand still, but that it fairly sprints past, without even pausing to draw breath.

It certainly kicked me in the hoojeridoojeries.

Kieran Tierney was too young to remember last Celtic treble,

now he wants to live it for himself.

It’s from the Evening Times, and its a sharp reminder of how rare a treble is.

“I have to be honest and say that I don’t really remember the last time that Celtic won a Treble as I was quite young But at home we had all the DVDs and I always knew about the games and what had happened.

“It feels like a privilege to be in a position that we are now where we have the chance to achieve something like that. But we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves. I think the gaffer has made it clear that it is always about who is up next and if we can focus on that then the rest should take care of itself.” 

“I just think it is great to be in this position, We don’t really think about the lead at the top of the table or anything else. It sounds a bit boring but we really do just think about the next game and take it from there.

“There is still quite a lot of football to be played this season. It is nice to have the lead and it is nice to have won the League Cup already but there is an awful lot of games on the horizon. The good thing just now is that we are getting a chance to take a breather and work on things at Lennoxtown because we don’t have games during the week and then the weekend.

“The manager wants us to not just keep the standard there but to improve it and that is what we aim to do. I just feel lucky to be a part of it. The dream is to win a Treble, it is the same dream we have that every Celtic fan has but it is important we go about trying to achieve that the right way.”

If they only come around every twenty years or so, then this could be my last one.

I’d better book my place on the bus for Saturday, bad back or not. I suppose a glass of beer might take away some of the pain.

I think the point here is to enjoy every minute of the rest of this season.

What if it all suddenly changes ?

The sleeping giant across the city has already removed one boss-one who was tipped for the England job-and that proves they will leave no stone unturned in their quest to reach the top…

They are looking to have their new man in in time to face Celtic on March 12…

 With “sixty serious candidates ” already having thrown their particular magic hats into the ring, it can only mean one thing.

The writer, Gary Ralston, ( probably the first time he’s ever been called a writer ) doesn’t understand the meaning of  “serious ” . Or “sixty “, come to think of it. Or, indeed, “candidates”, which has a  different meaning from the popular media phrase “linked with “.

Oh hang on, there’s a different viewpoint…

Murty has been in caretaker charge for Gers’ last two matches and it’s believed the ex-Scotland cap could remain in the role until AFTER the trip to Parkhead.

Gers have league games against Inverness Caley and St Johnstone, plus a Scottish Cup clash with Hamilton Accies, before the face-off with Celtic.

But the Ibrox board are comfortable with Under-20s coach Murty staying in temporary charge.

They had considered bringing in a short-term boss to have an immediate impact but that will not happen now.

There’s only one thing for it.

We’ll ask Graeme Murty. He’ll know.

We popped in to a board and management meeting at Ibrox for a word, but couldn’t tell which one was him…

There was further drama yesterday when the John James site revealed that Morton hadn’t received their money from the Scottish cup clash with “rangers “, which led to the bizarre headline in the Record which proved that in a fight with a Record man, a blowtorch to the neck would be useless..

Well, as John James said this morning, that tweet was merely part of the conditions set by the Ibrox club for payment, which we hear arrived at around half past four yesterday. Presumably the Greenock club sent someone to the cashpoint, and drew the lot out before Dave King had a chance to reclaim it, and then published the tweet.

You can either believe that, or the Daily Record.

Oh, and by the way, a drunk fellow we know from Greenock confirmed that the JJ version has considerably more veracity about it than the Record one.

About one hundred per cent more.

Quelle surprise effectivement.

But we don’t want to spend the morning writing about them.

Do you know why ?

They are on a downward spiral, another soft loan is required, as they said in their accounts, and another will be delivered, as promised by the directors.

They will stumble on until the end of the season, Mike Ashley will buy the ashes of this particular entity, set up a third one and the whole pantomime will start again, this time the money won’t go missing, and this time there will be a credible challenge.

Lets hope Hearts, Aberdeen and St. Johnstone are up for it.

So lets leave them in their own mess, and have a look at whats going on back at the ranch..

Real Madrid are the latest club to express an interest in Moussa Dembele, but as the distractions continue, you have to wonder who is behind all these stories, and why.

He’ll be back, don’t worry about that.. only Dominic Salonko -Mitchell might just put him back into a sulk again. don’t write this one off yet, especially if Brendan has a chat with him before he makes his mind up where he’s going next.

And Billy Gilmour, the latest tip for the top from the Murray Park conveyer belt may choose to spend the next stage of his career on the other side of the river. We tried to ask him if the rumours were true, but couldn’t work out which house was his.

Want a wee chuckle ?

I’ve no idea if this is true, and you know I’d hate to be described as a “discredited blogger “-actually, I wouldn’t, as it would mean at least for a while I had some sort of credit for them to take away- so make your own mind up on these two tweets and the story they tell..

,

You can understand why they sent them to coupar Angus. There wasn’t a Thurso bus due.

Yesterday, we had this…

Today we have… well, what do we have ?
