Scots embarrassed at home in Europe… again

Arsenal won’t score a pair of luckier goals this season, but they deserved their luck. The Premier League side outclassed Celtic - Tony Mowbray’s team didn’t play that badly but ran out of steam – and will surely now finish the job at the Grove and progress through to the CL’s group stage. Celtic, and their [...]

After just one fantastic performance, Arsenal are now The Form Team in the Universe. Which means they’ll pass Celtic – an average team at best – off the park in tonight’s Champions League playoff at Parkhead, right? If only football was that simple. Parkhead on a European night is a fearsome prospect, especially when an [...]

The best photos from City’s win against Celtic at Eastlands (watch the goals – all three were rather good – here). Click the image below to launch the gallery:

A couple of pics from Celtic’s friendly at Man City: Holy high-visibility jackets, Batman! That is one standout kit. There’s no danger of Celtic manager Tony Mowbray trotting out Fergie’s old “the players couldn’t see each other” excuse. Turning to the stuff that matters, City beat the Hoops 2-1, thanks to excellent goals by Gareth [...]

When I found out that Celtic and Arsenal could draw each other in the CL playoffs, I assumed it would happen. And, surprise surprise, it has. This is a pretty good draw for both teams and their supporters. Arsenal will be confident, quite rightly too, of running rings around an average Celtic side, while Celtic [...]

I don’t know in what situation a black, grey and pink colour scheme qualifies as camouflage? In the crazy, mixed up world of Scottish football, apparently. Whether or not Puma’s new away kit for Partick becomes more popular than last season’s pink-and-grey hooped number(the fastest-selling shirt in the club’s history) remains to be seen. In [...]

After the first leg of this CL qualifier, I thought Celtic were out. I was wrong and I’m happy to say that - Tony Mowbray deserves this result, which was Celtic’s first away win in the CL since 2003. Goals by Scott McDonald and sub Giorgios Samaras (a rare moment of magic by the Greek donkey [...]

It’s way too early in the season for a big club like Celtic to contemplate not reaching the lucrative Champions League group stages - but that looks very likely now after last night’s morale-sapping defeat at home to Dinamo Moscow. Not a great way for Tony Mowbray to kick off his tenure at Parkhead.

Real, competitive football is here again! (And not a moment after the last season finished, it seems.) We ready to do this again? Phew… OK… Hell yes… Motherwell turned around a shock 1-0 first-leg deficit to reach the second qualifying round of the brand-new Europe League. They ran out comfortable winners against Llanelli at Parc [...]

Umbro kill it once again with this very simple, very retro kit, which brings back memories of this old chess-board number: Another pic below: Now that is a proper football kit. Excellent work, Umbro - being bought out by Nike has turned you into a decent kit manufacturer, it seems. Rate the kit: Rate Rangers new [...]

Rangers striker mocks Celtic rival, repeatedly Nacho Novo, Rangers’ diminutive Spanish striker, is clearly a bit mad. And it seems he can’t stop having a pop at Giorgos Samaras, Celtic’s Greek forward. It’s classic schoolyard stuff, along the lines of “We won the league, you didn’t… na-nah-na-nah-na! In the above video, Nacho breaks out the [...]
