\u201cHe\u2019s entitled to his opinion. It\u2019s maybe naive from someone of his experience but the less said now the better.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n McCulloch, disappointed his Ibrox side couldn’t make the leap to the big time, moved to Kilmarnock for presumably one last crack at the big time-and let’s be honest, they are among the favourites to be in the play offs again, is looking forward to tonights rugby Park clash with Celtic.<\/p>\n Or as the hoops call it, three points. He continued;<\/p>\n \u201cI was tempted to play last week but I rolled my ankle on the surface and that set me back. I don\u2019t know when I\u2019ll be available again but I\u2019d have loved to play against Celtic. How could you not want to?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOur squad is relatively thin and I knew that, with a few injuries, I might be called on to play. But it\u2019s all down to the manager.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI sit next to him in the office but if he tells me he wants me to play I\u2019m not going to say \u2018no\u2019 unless I feel a young player would maybe benefit more.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The squad is relatively thin ?<\/p>\n Bloody hell. what do the fat guys look like ?<\/p>\n Kilmarnock sit at the bottom of the table, having lost both their games, scored no goals, \u00a0and conceded six goals. Celtic sit at the top, having won both and not conceded any while scoring twice in each of their games.<\/p>\n Tricky one when you are doing your accumulator.<\/p>\n Deila will probably rotate the squad again, and give as many players as he can a lttle game time. Whilst he has probably got his strongest team in his head already, there will be many times when he won’t be able to field it, so it’s important to keep the others ready to step in. and of course, that keeps the regulars on their toes as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Something else you might want to add to your bet is a first goalscorer punt. Leigh Griffiths will start , as Nadir ciftci is still suspended, and the striker is philosphical about his future at Celtic. And determined to see off all challengers for the forward role.<\/p>\n ‘Every game I play I want to score goals and if I score goals it’s going to be difficult for the manager to leave me out. I go into every game looking to score goals, whether it’s league, cup, Champions League or whatever.<\/em><\/p>\n ‘If I’m playing I’m delighted but if not I’m on the bench and I’m raring to come on. You have always got to be on your toes, especially at a big club like Celtic. But whenever the manager needs me I am ready to go.<\/em><\/p>\n ‘Last season I wasn’t in squads but this season I am starting in games. Obviously the main target is to start European games but it’s the manager’s decision and if he wants to start with Nadir, that’s fine by me.’<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘It’s always different, you are playing against top players in the Champions League,’ the 24-year-old said.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘No disrespect to the SPFL but it’s a step up in class.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘Especially when we play away from home, teams are going to attack us more. As a striker, especially playing that lone striker role, you need to hold the ball up, and your link-up play and touch have got to be on point, or else teams will punish you and you are out of Europe as quickly as you went in.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Well, that’ll give the media something else to harp on about for a bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Murdo MacLoed, for instance, nicknamed “whino” as a player, \u00a0( Are you sure-Ed ? ) has been, er , whining.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cCollins comments are disrespectful. If Celtic crash in Europe its 100 per cent their own fault.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cCeltic can\u2019t snap up players and then complain about competitiveness.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI know where John\u2019s coming from – when Rangers are in the Premiership there\u2019s a bigger challenge for the title and without Rangers you can argue theres less of a challenge. However, Aberdeen put up a good fight last year and it\u2019s disrespectful to talk down about the quality of the league like that. He should not be saying that the quality is not there.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019ve got the best players, the most money and the biggest fan base in the league and you can pretty much add any player you want its not the same for other managers who might have to let a player go and release a wage before they can bring someone new in. Celtic should be mindful of that.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAt Celtic\u2019s level they should not be talking about the quality of the league impacting on them in Europe. It\u2019s been like that since Celtic started in European competition from day one. They know who their opposition for the season are.<\/em><\/p>\n Hang on, do i detect a little “we need a strong Rangers 2 puff there ? Why would an ex-Celt want to mention them in a story which has nothing to do with them ?<\/p>\n Rangers legend Walter Smith and former Celtic star Murdo MacLeod officially launched Level5PR in January 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n Level5PR is a media relations\u00a0and sports management company created by former Daily Record Associate Editor\u00a0James Traynor and Stephen Kerr, former journalist\/producer at Radio Clyde and press\u00a0officer at Rangers Football Club.<\/em><\/p>\n Based in state-of-the-art offices at 26 Blythswood Square in Glasgow\u2019s City Centre,\u00a0Level5PR is a dynamic business offering a wide range of services including media relations, sports\u00a0management, brand creation and enhancement, social media awareness, speech writing,\u00a0staging and managing corporate events and filming promotional dvd\u2019s.<\/em><\/p>\n Level5PR is a management company with a wider reach than most because we will be\u00a0guiding and mentoring emerging and established sportsmen and women to provide them\u00a0with greater opportunities as their careers develop.<\/em><\/p>\n Level5PR will nurture and maximise our clients\u2019 potential at all times and promote their\u00a0interests in written, broadcast and digital media.<\/em><\/p>\n Oh right. Level 5.<\/p>\n The media relations company behind Ibrox publicity. Who surprisingly let this one through yesterday…<\/p>\n It appears that Mark “Guardiola ” Warburton, once of Brentford, Bayern and Barcelona ( Are you sure -Ed ? )<\/p>\n \u00a0has come under fire from one of his former players at Brentford.<\/em><\/p>\n Warburton has got off to a flying start at Ibrox, but Bees defender Harlee Dean has taken a dig at his gung-ho tactics and reckons his failure to work on set-pieces last season may have even cost the London club Premier League promotion.<\/em><\/p>\n Dean, who has played over 150 times for Brentford, said: \u201cIf you look at individual centre-halves in the league I don\u2019t think there are many better than what we have here. But last year we didn\u2019t look like that. We got left two v one and two v two.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe know we\u2019ve got people around us now and I hope we keep a lot more clean sheets and make ourselves look a lot better. We\u2019re focusing on set-pieces. If we can add to the 10 goals from centre-half combined then we\u2019ve done well.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve just repeated set-pieces and free-kicks and knowing where you\u2019ve got to be. Last year we didn\u2019t have one session on set-pieces and it showed on the pitch. That was Warbs\u2019 way. Perhaps that\u2019s where we fell short.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Oh dear. The mask is slipping. I wonder if John James, the RSL spokesman and thorn in the side of this weeks board at ibrox is onto something when he asks ….<\/p>\n Has Chris Graham stepped into the Level 5 breach until such time as their high six figure invoice is paid?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Well, that should help them with their public image.<\/p>\n But enough of them.<\/p>\n Did you see the news ? Everyone’s going doo lally after wee Harper Beckham was pictured with a dummy. surely it’s not her fault who her daddy is ?<\/p>\n Transfer news ? Rumours. ?<\/p>\n John Walters ?<\/p>\n Surely not. Well, thats the word down here. Which isn’t very encouraging.<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk, Southampton ?<\/p>\n Well, it’s where we normally send our players when we need to put some money in the bank. The price is now \u00a310m , and “sources ” claim the deal will be done very soon. Like it was last week, when saints wanted him for the opening game of their season.<\/p>\n This has prompted specualtion that Celtic are back in for Brandon michel, of club Brugge, who also has a big Champins League qualifier ahead of him, against Manchester United.<\/p>\n \u00a0So, yeah, the Belgians will be selling him this week.<\/p>\n \u00a0Meanwhile, the Northern Ireland Prison service has come on a bit. They no longer advertise the removal of prisoners heads as a necessary part of the job.<\/p>\n And there might be a few journalists editing their articles with a little more care after this shocking story from Azerbaijan…<\/p>\n A journalist in Azerbaijan who criticised a popular footballer has died after an attack by supporters.<\/em><\/p>\n Rasim Aliyev had said on Facebook that Javid Huseynov should be banned from European football for allegedly making a rude gesture at a Cypriot journalist.<\/em><\/p>\n The reporter asked why he had waved a Turkish flag at a Cypriot team’s fans.<\/em><\/p>\n Mr Aliyev was then beaten up after being lured to a meeting by somebody who said they were a relative of the player, local media report.<\/em><\/p>\n He later died from internal bleeding. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n and for bare faced cheek….<\/p>\n Do you know a youth team that needs some new equipment? Win with Wolverhampton based Free Radio presumably know someone at New Balance who can reccommend a decent brand to them.<\/p>\n On of our guys at the Lennon CSC bought his top before the Ross County game, and it was knackered before he got home.<\/p>\n Willie Fernie was the dapper chap in yesterdays Diary.<\/p>\n The Celtic View is fifty years old this week.<\/p>\n Every now and again, I look at this image, my favourite ever front page.<\/p>\n Because it began the process that lead to the club we have today. What’sit all about ?<\/p>\n That made me just think of that Channel 4 programme, The Boy With Giant Hands, which is exactly what I used to think I was until reality set in when I finally got a girlfriend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re in trouble now.
