Genius find from Matt over at the Celtic Offside.
The Hoops are currently looking for a manager. The search hasn’t gone spectacularly well – particularly if you ask Tony Adams – so a certain Celtic fan and online forum member decided to toss his hat into the ring. He whipped up a letter teeming with [...]

If one player could emulate the skills of both Brazilian legend Rivaldo and current WPOTY Cristiano Ronaldo, that player would be one unstoppable step-over fueled goal machine right?

Would that make it “Hand of Apostle” or something? Don’t know. What we do know is this is one of the most blatant handballs in the history of ever and the fact that he got away with it means this entire refereeing crew should be reassigned to Brazil. Despite Bryan Prunty being a giant [...]

By: Daryl | 5 Comments
Scottish Premier League fans – of any persuasion – should be crossing their fingers and hoping Kris Boyd’s transfer from Rangers to Birmingham City doesn’t go through.

You’ve probably heard about the goal Celtic conceded during defeat to Hibs at Easter Road this weekend as a howler from Artur Boruc. But that doesn’t give enough credit to the man who struck the ball from 45 yards: John Rankin.
Though Boruc certainly looked silly, the goal had as much to do with Rankin’s strike [...]

It was a good win for Celtic over the weekend against Kilmarnock, but it didn’t come without some controversy. They were comfortably leading 2-0 in the 80th minute when Shunsuke Nakamura was tackled from behind by what looked to be the ghost of Christmas past, resulting in a penalty.

By: Ian Rose | 11 Comments
Rangers took a big step toward finishing off the SPL title today, finishing off Dundee United 3-1. The real story of the game, though, was the referee, which is never a good thing. Mike McCurry is, far and away, the most controversial official in the Scottish game, and for years, Celtic supporters as [...]
