\u201cBut the referees here have been good. Sometimes you get something for you, sometimes you get something against you. I don\u2019t think a lot about it. If you perform well as a team, you\u2019ll win.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t want to cheat, of course we don\u2019t. I don\u2019t like that at all. I didn\u2019t think this situation with John was like that. The referees are trying to do their jobs as best as possible.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSometimes they\u2019ve been right, sometimes they\u2019ve been wrong. But, if you go through a whole season, it\u2019s going to be quite equal with decisions. The best team will win in the end.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve found the referees to be approachable and very good. So far I\u2019m very satisfied with how they\u2019ve been in Scotland. As I say, we\u2019ve had more troubles with the referees in European games.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0He just needs to tone down the outfit he’s wearing at press conferences, though, otherwise even the dumbest hack will realise he’s being a little insincere.<\/p>\n \u00a0Ronny was looking forward to tonights game against Partick Thistle, and the prospect of pulling three points ahead of the chasing pack-note these days its a chasing pack, and not just one team-with a victory over the side \u00a0already dismantled in the League Cup this term.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a big game for us because we can put pressure on the other teams, go three points ahead. It will be a very good position.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0“When we played them before, the first half we didn’t play well.<\/em><\/p>\n “We scored from a free-kick, but when they got the red card it changed the game.<\/em><\/p>\n “They are a good team and we have to be up for the game.<\/em><\/p>\n “It’s a good time to get the game now as we’re on a good run. It gives us a chance to put pressure on the other teams in the league.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Charlie Mulgrew, Wakaso Mubarak and Stefan Scepovic are back in consideration for tonights game, and as usual I’ve got absolutely no idea how Ronny will approach it. He’ll approach it without Mikael Lustig and Jason Denaayer, but other than that, your guess is as good as mine.<\/p>\n Lustig has been keeping himself to himself, recovering from injury. Sitting quietly by the fire, reading a book.<\/p>\n \u00a0Craig Gordon will probably start in goal, Adam Matthews and Emilio Izaguerre in the full back slots, with Efe Ambrose and Virgil van dijk in the middle. Then Scott Brown and Stefan Johansen will probably combine with James Forrest and Anthony Stokes in the middle, with maybe the impressive Nir Bitton keeping his place, leaving John Guidetti to plough his lone furrow up front.<\/p>\n \u00a0Which tedious innuendo leads me on to a quick mention for the troll who appeared yesterday. Presumably “Steve” is checking out the websites of a club that his children are already asking him to take them to see. After that, he’ll start looking for our results, if he isn’t already, and then finally he’ll realise that he’s succumbed to the inevitable, and will be wearing a Celtic top under his workclothes-or prison outfit-and the conversion will be complete.<\/p>\n \u00a0He called us haters and obssessives, which indicates the level of intellect we’re dealing with here, so bear that in mind if you feel like entering a battle of wits with him. Actually, its not hate. Its indifference.<\/p>\n \u00a0But even he has to admit his former club are providing even the least talented comedy writer with an endless stream of material. Its a shame Jimmy Perry and David Croft didn’t hear about this before they decided that Hi-de-Hi was a ratings winner, because they could have written about the demise of Rangers instead.<\/p>\n \u00a0And called it Bye di Fucking -Bye.<\/p>\n \u00a0Which co-incidentally is what we’re saying to Steve. You were more than welcome to come on here and discuss the relative merits of your club, our club, or anything you wanted to .<\/p>\n \u00a0But you blew it.<\/p>\n \u00a0Anyway, back to the real world, and the transfer window will be open soon, and the press are lining up our players for the exit door again.<\/p>\n \u00a0Ever hear of Andre Pierre Gignac ?<\/p>\n Well, he has told Marseille he wants to leave , and with his contract up next summer, they will cash in next month. That, in turn , leaves a vacancy for a striker at the French outfit, and Guidetti is high on their list.<\/p>\n \u00a0What you won’t read in the papers is that they already brought in his replacement last summer, or at least a potential replacement in\u00a0\u00a0Belgian Michy Batshuayi. So Marseille probably won’t be Guidettis destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0He’s enjoying himself, for probably the first time in his career. Yesterday, he did a question and answer session for club sponsors Magners on Twitter, and there were several clues that he likes it just fine where he is. for instance, note his reply when asked who the biggest prankster is at Celtic;<\/p>\n We have a few pranksters – Broony, Charlie, Mikael, myself \u2013 everyone can dish it out and take it too. A great team spirit!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0A great team spirit.<\/p>\n \u00a0Now, coming from someone who has been sidelined at Manchester City and punted out on loan to places like Stoke, then if it was me sorting out his contract I’d be sure to make sure he’s reminded of that. And also I’d be reminding him what he has here.<\/p>\n \u00a0Mostly what he has here.<\/p>\n It looks like Celtic will be looking closer to home when ot comes to strengthening the squad, though. Dundee Utds recent lack of form may be explained by the fact that one of their key players, midfielder Stuart Armstrong , is not only high on a list of players wanted by the hoops, but also high on the list of “people we need to get a house for in Glasgow \u00a0” \u00a0distributed amongst estate agents in the city.<\/p>\n Probably.<\/p>\n \u00a0Other whispers for the window include Jay Chapman, a Canadian playmaker, who at the age of twenty is being tipped to go on and turn twenty one some day.<\/p>\n Another name-and what a splendid name it is-in the frame is Tranmere midfielder Max Power.<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0Thats him in the middle, wearing the shirt that says Home Bargains, which is probably what alerted Celtic to him in the first place. Reports down south indicate that Celtic want him, Tranmere want \u00a3400,000, and the potential for a merchandising bonanza using his name on tops, t-shirts and hats has put him fairly close to the top of Lawwells \u00a0Christmas list.<\/p>\n Oh wait, its already been taken. Its a magazine;<\/p>\n \n \u00a0 \u00a0You see, there would be copyright issues. Which need to be considered before launching any sort of product.<\/p>\n \u00a0To avoid any confusion, you see.<\/p>\n Heres another examples of two companies using the same brand.<\/p>\n \u00a0So you can see how easy it is to get mixed up.<\/p>\n \u00a0Celtics development side faced their equivalent from new club Second Rangers yesterday, and despite going a goal down, managed to scrape a 6-1 win at Murrayfield. Perhaps the game is best summed up by an unhappy Ibrox supporter after he got home from the thrashing;<\/p>\n \n \n Hitler Youth ? Thats a novel and refreshing way of describing us. Real, quality humour can only be a few short months away.<\/p>\n \u00a0Ach, it’ll get him in the mood for the clash between the senior teams in the New Year;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
