Celtic fans broke their own record just a week after setting it as nearly 16,000 fans turned up to see Celtic Women take on Hearts in the final game of the SWPL season. Celtic needed a win to give themselves a chance at the title while also relying on Rangers to take points off Glasgow City at Ibrox. Amy Gallacher had the first chance of the game for Celtic as she picked up possession inside the Hearts box and struck a half-volley which just clipped the outside of the post. Aimee Anderson followed up quickly at the other end though as she drove into the Celtic box and had her shot cut out by a ..read more

The Celtic B team hosted Lowland League leaders Spartans FC in what was a massive game in the fight for the championship. Celtic sat three points off of top spot with a win moving them clear of the visitors on goal difference with four games to play. The young Celts would look to start the game in the controlling possession style football they have got used to playing under Darren O’dea but that was disrupted inside the first two minutes when the visitors took the lead. Following a cross from the left-hand side, Jamie Dishington got himself on the end of it and cut the ball back to Reece Armst ..read more

September 25 1976 is a day indelibly linked in my mind for two reasons. Firstly, it was my Dad’s 40th birthday, and secondly, he took me to my first ever Celtic away game, which was to Rugby Park against Kilmarnock. I genuinely can’t recall if the two events were linked. Celtic won 4-0 on the day and, from memory, I think Joe Craig scored his first goal in the hoops with another new signing, Pat Stanton, impressing everyone with his organisational skills at the back. For the 10 year me this was a hugely exciting and significant day. Rugby Park was a lot more compact than Parkhead and I’ll alw ..read more

I should be so lucky Once again the lucky bhoys triumphed and Ange won his 3rd out of 4 domestic trophies he has competed for and Bullshit Bingo Beale went home with his tail between his legs. Celtic won the league cup on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over Rangers in a game that was pretty comfortable throughout and that Celtic could, in the end, have won by 3 or 4.  St Anthony was at the game with Saint Jnr and they were larging it up with the young team in the Celtic End and so I thought who better to call up and discuss the game. We review the match, the crowds, the Tifos and preview St Mi ..read more

Caitlin Hayes was the hero, scoring two thumping headers from corners she was the only candidate for WOTM. 1-0 at half time, the hoops came racing out the blocks for the second forty-five scoring two in a matter of minutes. A stunning move finished off by Amy Gallagher and Hayes’ second of the match. Despite showing a good attacking display, the solid defen ..read more

Fran Alonso’s Celtic welcomed Aberdeen to the Excelsior Stadium in what was another comfortable victory for the Ghirls. It was an exciting occasion for some of the Ghirls. New signing Hana Kerner made her Celtic debut as Academy star Claire Goldie was handed her first senior start. It was a slower start than usual from Alonso’s side as they struggled to break the deadlock. Other than crossed into the box from Goldie and Shen Mengyu, the hosts failed to get the ball at front of goal. This changed as the first half was nearing its end. Defender Chloe Craig headed it home from an exceptional ball ..read more

In the book Bounce, Matthew Syed goes to watch the Russian ice dancing champions in practise. They are the number one and two couples in Russia, the number one and four couples in the world. He describes that one couple glide flawlessly around the rink, whilst the other couple, also travelling perfectly and symmetrically around the rink fall more regularly on some of their jumps, but it is the number one pair, the world’s premier couple who are the ones that have the regular falls because they are the ones who are trying something new. The message is quite obvious – to be the best you need to ..read more
