\u201cThe players will still be in at Lennoxtown but they will come in with a different mindset.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you know there is a game coming up in midweek, you tend to just work on your recovery.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt will be great for the players to just train as normal as this is the first free midweek we have had all year. It allows them to freshen up mentally instead of preparing for a game in the midweek.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI will freshen up a few and I\u2019ll also get the chance to put some real good physical work into others who need it. The ones who haven\u2019t had a lot of game time recently.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI think it will be enormously beneficial for us to have two midweeks coming up.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s eight days between Livingston and the cup game on Monday, and then we don\u2019t play again until the weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s two good weeks of training before the international break and that is valuable time for us as coaches as we can actually do some work with the players.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We hear they’re training nights as well. To adjust their body clocks in case Sky alter the kick off times for the next Glasgow derby to suit the Australian and Japanese markets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s all a far cry from the days of Lennon when a few sprints to the pub and a packet of diet crisps served as sports science, and there are signs that a new culture has indeed taken root at Celtic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What particularly caught the eye was this…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I will freshen up a few and I\u2019ll also get the chance to put some real good physical work into others who need it. The ones who haven\u2019t had a lot of game time recently.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There seems to be no hiding place for lollygaggers with Ange.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Each player seems to have his own fitness and performance programme, which is how it should be, and that means the fat kids no longer have to keep up with the little ones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They have to overtake them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n That old chestnut match fitness seems to be a thing of the past, players will be expected to be ready at a moments notice to drop into the side and put in a performance, which will horrify a couple of them and clear the way for a final purge during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From now on, a couple of posts on a players instagram account or a tweet about how much they love the club will no longer suffice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One thing we heard a while ago was that Ange is extremely aware of social media, and keeps an eye on things personally, a sort of unseen fenian brand , and anyone who he feels is taking him , or the fans, for a ride will be outed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Outed through the door that is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may be surprised at some of the names mentioned for honourable discharges. Ange is ruthless, and you may have noticed that a number of players he’s brought in seem like ready made replacements for some of our established men.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Something else we’ve noticed is that the media, both social and mainstream, is very limited in little stories that escape the ranch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Except us, of course, we’re right on the nose with everything, unless it’s the bits we make up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n At least we’re honest about what we make up, whereas the mainstream package together as much rubbish as they can and put it out regardless of veracity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mark Guidi claims that Kyogo Fuhruhashi could be fit for the next trip to Ibrox, which is a better headline than Kyogo might not be fit for ibrox, which is equally valid, Hugh Keevins said , ach, it doesn’t matter what he said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n All of which points to a tightening up of all operations within the club, and a new direction which takes us back to the days of Brendan Rodgers, who for all his faults did try to move the club into the 21st century.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A similar programme at Ibrox was vetoed as it was felt that although they’ve won fifty five titles in just ten years, advancing socially, mentally and physically through four hundred years in a short space of time was unfeasible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We need our football to cheer us up, things aren’t great in the real world just now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A friend of mine has been forced to take up work with an organised crime gang, he’s driving for a chap only known as Andrew<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another pulled up at a petrol pump and found he could only afford enough fuel to take him to the next pump along.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And that guy who had a pigs heart transplanted into his body has died, which was a shock, i thought they’d done a crackling job.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To add to my woes, I was having a fly fag yesterday and a woman told me off, saying that just one of those could kill a child.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, thanks. Up until now I’d been using a hammer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Remember, try to be optimistic. Try to look for the hope and not the despair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like this idiot…. who reckons this will sell.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He is probably the guy who gave the world ginger beer and prawn cocktail crisps.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yesterday, we had this…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"im](\"https:\/\/clickpix.org\/images\/dCYrR.jpg\")
