It's Going To Be A Long Year In Glasgow
Which is what I had anticipated when Martin O'Neil resigned as Glasgow Celtic's head coach after last season.

However, the future is bright indeed, although the folks in Glasgow might not realize it yet. So without further delay, I'd like to introduce a future striker for Celtic circa 2023, my nephew, Aidan McErlain:
The kid is a comer, I'm telling you.

Egads. I saw that result and wondered if the Bhoys fans would be fondly recalling the John Barnes era. Could there POSSIBLY have been a worse start to the campaign expecially after the crushing stumble in the final minutes of last season?

Worse -- that team is Slovak, not Czech.
Listening to the BBC while that game was in progress was priceless. No one does resigned takes on sports setbacks like the British.
