Congratulations to Celtic on winning the masters tournament masquerading as the Tennent’s Sixes that charged a fortune and didn’t even come close to filling the arena on either day. Hopefully a one-off never to be tried again. Partick Thistle remain the holders of the actual Tennent’s Sixes.

After last night, I’d like to see the following from the @celticfcollective.bsky.social 1. Call out what this statement is: the embarrassing rambling of one minority shareholder, using the club as his own personal platform.

www.celticfc.com/news/2026/oc... The Irish man baby speaks through the subservient mouthpieces at the club he owns a minority stake in but acts like he’s untouchable around it. If he doesn’t want his life disrupted, try turning up at actual Celtic events for a change. Otherwise…

That should have been far more comfortable for Scotland. Been wasteful in both away games. Ended up being nervy because of a hospital pass from Andy Robertson. But North Macedonia are rotten, they’ll probably have a different manager when they come to Hampden.

Andy Robertson now the eighteenth Scotland player, and only the second man, to reach triple figures on caps.

Hadn’t realised they were charging £25 and £35 for the masters masquerading as the tennents sixes. Just kill it off now, an embarrassment to the name.

It can't just be me that keeps hearing about Christa Pike surviving and thinking "yeah but she's horribly disfigured now and has to live in the beep beep chair" Or maybe it is me and I just watch too much Star Trek and have a really weird niche sense of humour.

Ted Lasso this week is somehow entirely predictable and a total gut punch I didn’t see coming at the same time.

That should be the end of Jack Hendry in a Scotland jersey. Ryan Porteous was sin-dyed for a less stupid challenge than last night. At least he was trying to get the ball in Germany and was just over zealous for a low percentage ball. Hendry just blatantly pulls him back.

The news this morning suggesting that the UK pension triple lock is under threat to fund a care service for England. One of the worst pensions in Europe will get even worse, and Scotland won't even get any benefit from it. Pensioners are the most union-positive group, remember.

Bodyform Wings.

Dunno how I feel about the #StrangeNewWorlds season 4 finale. I enjoyed it, but none of it happened and the future was an alternate timeline anyway. Celia Rose Gooding absolutely smashed it though. Terrific performance. Nichelle Nichols would be proud.

Fergus McCann is the reason we’re in the mess we’re in right now. His sale of the club to the fans wasn’t as we’d hope but instead left an elite few in charge, specifically Dermot and those who won’t say no to him, effectively reinstating the old board setup he himself cleared out!

Quote post your #Celticfc hot take. An opinion you hold about the club, that you think would be generally unpopular amongst the wider support.

Michael Nicholson saying they back O’Neill. Shame the likes of McGregor and Carter-Vickers have tossed him under the bus in the last couple of weeks, great backing guys!

I don’t think these are all that bad. Didn’t make the champions league so made less than when we did. Spent more, but then we had a disaster to pay off. Not a penny more made a small dent but not much.

Technically they’re right, it’s a reserved matter and debating it is pretty much performative, but the immediate shout from the SNP benches stating “so is immigration” was perfect. This should be highlighted at every opportunity now.

BREAKING: Reform MSPs have stormed out of a debate on Scottish independence in Holyrood, claiming it is 'pointless and a vanity project'

I genuinely can’t decided if the WhatsApp rumours of O’Neill resigning today are the usual bullshit, or if he has offered his resignation to Michael Nicholson, he had to call Dermot Desmond to see if he can accept it but he’s been out golfing all day so they don’t know. Both are possible.

Four massive games in the last three and a half weeks and Celtic have not only lost them all but the performances have been utterly abysmal. Still top of the league though, so don’t expect any fan opinions to change in some quarters despite back to back defeats to Rangers.

More baffling substitutes. I’m glad I don’t pay any money into this nonsense, it’s bad enough having an emotional investment without adding a financial one as well.

I stopped listening to O’Neill’s opinion on anything when he told us we don’t need to strengthen the defence. A blind man could see our defence is shocking, and if anything it’s somehow got even worse since he said it.

Seeing that starting lineup I can only guess O’Neill has money on Rangers -1 or maybe even Rangers -2. That midfield will get overrun with ease and the width is purely from the full backs who’ll get penned in.

I’ll be surprised if we see anything different in Celtic today from what we saw last week. Thursday gave absolutely no indication of learning lessons or improvement. Home advantage and no away support will quickly shift against the team if they’re that bad again.

Anson Mount and Ethan Peck had WAY too much fun this week. Meanwhile, I’m just assuming the Farragut has zero need for a first officer at this point, he is NEVER at work. #StrangeNewWorlds

Can’t wait for Robbie Keane to come in and try to turn this around. I’ve got popcorn for that.

I hope the Celtic team aren’t as obsessed by this coming Sunday’s match as the media appear to be. There’s a game before that.

Danny McGrain, the best ever footballer with a beard. Some would argue that sentence is three words too long. Dreadful news today about his Alzheimer’s.

20% rise on the fuel price cap now being predicted for January. How’s that focus on cost of living going, Andy? I’m sure you’ll protect the energy companies and their profits as always. You won’t devolve that either. Exactly why we need independence.

Taking control away from Westminster and allowing us to actually deal with it is entirely the point. Independence is the number one way to deal with the cost of living crisis. You won’t even reverse the self-harm of Brexit.

BREAKING: Andy Burnham has responded after the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Fein signed a historic self-determination declaration. The Prime Minister said he is focused on easing the cost-of-living crisis for households across the country rather than on “constitutional debates”

Several arrests at Ibrox, including one for battering a police officer, and an incident at the Bristol bar due to bear on bear action. That’s after they won convincingly in a stadium full of their own and no visitors. I will never understand that mentality. Thankfully.
