You wouldn&#8217;t be asking them to be on your bus when four fifty two seaters full of Loyal fans of another club pull up next to you at the services. Not on current form anyway.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s just the way it is and it\u2019s part of the job so we need to come out fighting and show character now.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>About time. But Mulgrew , at least will show a bit of fight. Its some of the others we worry about.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou know yourself when you get a bad result, you know what\u2019s coming. You don\u2019t even need to be told. It is how you react to that.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe next game is against Ross County. Sadly it didn\u2019t come the very next day, as everybody would have liked that.

It\u2019s just good to get back.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve put in a full week of running and training this week so it\u2019s feeling great and I\u2019m delighted. It was a cortisone and steroid injection, two of them.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI was a bit wary because I hadn\u2019t had one before and you don\u2019t want to get them if there\u2019s an underlying problem, but it was a top specialist who recommended that I have it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Like him or not, we&#8217;ve missed Mulgrew. He&#8217;s part of the furniture at Celtic, and his contribution to the team is immense. He might not be the worlds greates player, but when he takes a free kick in a dangerous position the seagulls know they&#8217;re usually pretty safe.<\/p>\n<p>He never hides, and always puts in a shift. In fact, just adding him to the midfield in place of one of the wingers would make Celts at least joint favourites to get a result at Ross County next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roy Keane hasn&#8217;t given up on being the Celtic boss just yet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #444444;\">I think you have to be open-minded.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Makes you wonder if moves have already been made to replace Deila&#8230; Or is Keane just attention seeking.
