If you were a short story writer, you’d struggle to dream up anything more fantastical than the real-life drama that’s unfolded at Celtic Park over the past seven days.

Shock resignations, dramatic statements, a returning hero - and that was just Monday!

Since then, we’ve seen passionate fan protests, a swashbuckling win over Falkirk, the long-awaited release of the fan survey, and even a first look at the new stadium banners.

And if all that wasn’t enough, Martin O’Neill returned to the dugout for his first Glasgow Derby in over 20 years - and, in classic O’Neill fashion, led the Bhoys to victory on a high-energy afternoon at Hampden Park.

Callum Osmand rightly stole the headlines on the big occasion, but he wasn’t alone. A number of his teammates deserve huge credit for showing the kind of fighting spirit that’s been missing for much of the season as they played they battled their way into next month's final.

At this rate, who knows what the next few weeks and months will bring? For now, though, let’s enjoy the sight of a proper Celtic team returning on the park - and look ahead to another massive couple of fixtures in the days to come.
