\u201cFirstly, Ronny Deila is there and he has shown that he is willing to put faith in young players.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cCeltic have also worked well with younger talents in recent years and I think Ajer will do well in the team.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI believe he will get playing time and be given a chance next season, but I would not expect him to have a permanent place in the team.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHe is still young and Celtic are buying him a view to development. Nobody will expect too much of him in his first season.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Regardless of what riseth thinks, Scott Brown is panciking at the new arrival, and has launched a “Keep Charlie Mulgrew ” campaign, as the bold charlie can still turn in the odd poor performance, which will keep attention away from Brown.<\/p>\n Charlie is a top-class player and he\u2019s just getting his fitness back,\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u2018He played against East Kilbride recently and got 70-odd minutes under his belt.<\/em><\/p>\n \n \u2018It was good to have him back on the pitch because he\u2019s a character.<\/em><\/p>\n \n \u2018It\u2019s great to have new faces and it\u2019s almost like having one with him.<\/em><\/p>\n \n \u2018Don\u2019t forget that he was Scotland\u2019s Player of the Year a few years ago (Mulgrew was both PFA Scotland\u2019s and the Scottish Football Writers\u2019 player of the year in 2012) and it\u2019s been a big loss for us not having him in the squad for the last three or four months.<\/em><\/p>\n \n \u2018Charlie\u2019s a big-game player as well. He always turns up on the big occasions and that left foot of his is a wand.\u2019\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n I always turn up for the big occasions as well, but i never get offered a contract. And I have to pay for my own seat.<\/p>\n \u2018He was out for a while and then he came back and hurt the same thigh again,\u2019\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Can’t he just wave his wand at it and make it all better ?<\/p>\n \u2018That\u2019s hard to take but he\u2019s mentally tough. He\u2019s come through it and he keeps coming back before he should because that\u2019s the kind of person he is.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2018Charlie always wants to be out on the training ground, working as hard as he possibly can. He does what he needs to do for his body, he knows how to get fit and he\u2019s been doing that for weeks now.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2018He loves the club. He was born a die-hard fan and he still is one and you need guys like that in the dressing room because they bring a lot to the club – and the fans like that.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u2018Charlie knows what it\u2019s all about and he lives for this club.<\/em><\/p>\n Mulgrew would be grand if we could just bring him on when we get a free kick, because we don’t have anyone with any sort of proficiency in that department, but the pace of the game at times seems to much for him.<\/p>\n Mind you, I’d still keep him, but because of his experience. Its just that at some point the wages clerk is going to point out to the board that we appear to be a little overstaffed in the playing department, and there will be some p45s handed out sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n Talk of the new Atlantic League continues, but not actually among anyone with any influence to make it happen, and i had to chuckle when Graeme Young of the Daily Record asked if it would really benefit the Scottish game..<\/p>\n This is the crux of the issue.<\/em><\/p>\n In the early 2000’s Martin O’Neill’s side and Alex McLeish’s Rangers waged an assault on all domestic competitions in Scotland.<\/em><\/p>\n Between the 1998\/1999 season and the 2004\/2005 season, only Livingston were successful in lifting one of the three top trophies in Scottish football as Celtic and Rangers hoovered up the rest.<\/em><\/p>\n \n \u00a0But now? Other sides in Scotland have found their feet.<\/em><\/p>\n Kilmarnock, St Mirren, Dundee United, Inverness Caley, Aberdeen and St Johnstone have won major trophies in recent years.<\/em><\/p>\n Teams in Scotland no longer fear Celtic and Rangers, so their departure would perhaps not be dreaded as it once was. Who knows \u2013 it may even be welcomed?<\/em><\/p>\n Teams no longer fear Rangers ? no shit.<\/p>\n And their departure “would perhaps no longer be dreaded ?”<\/p>\n They’ve already gone, mate. It was in all the papers. Including yours….<\/p>\n The Atlantic league won’t happen, but I’ll let you into a little secret, straight from the mouth of Peter Lawwell. Whether or not its still relevant, I cannot say, but around two years ago, it was.<\/p>\n The money behind the English Premiership is not only annoying other European sides, but English sides outwith those clubs who are now too “big ” to be relegated. for others, their existence is all about survival, they don’t even look to the cup as a relief anymore, the priority has to be to stay where the money is.<\/p>\n There are some clubs in the championship who have been making noises about at least a British League cup, leading eventually to some sort of \u00a0breakaway league.<\/p>\n Which is far more likely than any European tie up.<\/p>\n And it would be far more lucrative television wise, because even though Leicester City, god bless, have livened things up this year, it isn’t going to last.<\/p>\n TV needs new ideas, and with programmes such as Cats v dogs, or that one last night where mobile phone salesmen compete with each other getting prime time, the medium is desperate for new ideas, and sports channels are no different.<\/p>\n Steve Coogan creation Alan Partridge wasn’t too far off when he suggested Monkey Tennis to a fictional BBC series commissioner. it seems.<\/p>\n \n It’s not just television which appears to be dumbing down.<\/p>\n Daily Record nominated again for best sports team at the British press awards. *reaches for popcorn* \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Along with this , er, startling revelation, are nominations for the Sun, for its sensitivity to women<\/p>\n Cotswold Life for its dedication to helping families make ends meet;<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n And Rebecca Gray of the Evening Times for getting the real stories out there;<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you know, and here’s another wee secret, that all of the Scottish main stream media work from one room ?<\/p>\n Works of Shakespeare my arse.<\/p>\n Radio doesn’t escape either, as last night there were indications that the BBC Sportsound team may not have be as impartial as one would expect of a national broadcaster;<\/p>\n![\"rip](\"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/rip-rangers.jpg\")
