Midweek Diddy Cup ties are usually as welcome as a ansaphone message from Russell Brand and Jonathon Woss. Ok, note all 27,000 that complained aboot this. GET A LIFE and goin' amuse yerself's watching Songs Of Praise and eating an apple tart.

Still, as Celtic safely passed by The 'Marnocks, we...

Glenn Loovens sees 'Heid and Hoof' in action.... 

Lotw, is glad the seasons back. We have meaningful games to moan about. No more glorified training sessions to watch and post reflective, rubbish blogs about and last, but by no means least, live ammo to slaughter the players, justifiably, with.

It also brings new...

LOTW has recovered.

Talking of pre-season games, Gary Caldwell - rent a quote as some ca...

The Sharp Suited Man has spoken.

Celtic have not made enquires or bid for any one of the 101 players they have been linked wie. We have made only 2 bids and 1 of them was accepted. I think we can take it as read that the other bid was for Kyle Haffwittery, which was deemed too low for the...

So the fixtures are oot. A home tie against St Mirren Of Paisley to open and the first stupid fitba' kick off time (12:30 on Sunday 10th August) so Setanta can show it. I'm only hoping that early kick off time means the game disnny turn oot to be a damp squib like the usual 12:30 kick offs.
