“Celtic’s draw at home against Kairat has finally opened the floodgates. The water is trickling in right now but the swelling tide will sweep away our outdated plans. In the meantime, the boss continues to show his professionalism as Celtic go six clear of our rivals. And the Ibrox club itself? Well we’re on season 15 of the Banter Years and there is no end in sight ...”

"On Wednesday we're headed for our Champions League qualifier and this squad is weaker than the one we had at the turn of the year. That's shameful for a club like Celtic, but the manager and this team can still work miracles, and it's over to them."

"The last great hope of the pro-board faction ends in midweek as the clock runs down on our Champions League signing deadline. Short of a wildcard signing who will almost certainly not play, we're going into this undermanned. Who'd have thought that was likely? Well, we did ..."

“The season is underway! And Celtic has put the first three points on the board, albeit not very convincingly. The transfer window blues continue to haunt us with our own directors hamstringing the club and the manager. He’s increasingly fed up with it ... and we know what that means for the future.”

"The Celtic board either doesn't see that we're walking into potential danger or they just don't care. The same applies to some sections of the fan-base and they all - fans and board - have to snap out of this pronto. Rodgers knows. Which is why some are still trying to undermine him."

Off the field the club tries the patience of the fans. On it, the manager continues working his magic. This is a club of contradictions. We love it anyway.

"Celtic fans continue to have to be the most patient fans in Europe when it comes to signings. And the manager signing a new contract. And for some sign that their club cares about them after all. As we wait, we're all just putting a brave face on it. Except ... no. Not us three."

"Tom Petty said it; the waiting is the hardest part. And that's where we are right now. The waiting. Endless. Awful. Soul-crushing. Will there be signings? Will the boss sign a new deal? Or are we mad to hope for these things, should we not simply resign ourselves to the inevitability of disappoint ... and have a much easier summer?"

"Celtic get two more signings over the line whilst malcontents like us gripe from the sidelines. Ibrox suffers the adjustment shock as the reality of austerity sets in. Scotland's worst ever chairman and Scotland's worst ever journalist go head to head to see who can best rewrite history ... and Rod Stewart goes full tonto."

 "In spite of a tabloid hack suggesting that all eyes at Celtic should be on Ibrox, Celtic is best when it focusses on itself. On signings. On the manager. On the SFA's latest drum banging. Get our house in order and looking over the garden fence is nothing but a search of laughs ..."
