Motherwell: Jens Berthel Askou needs to take some amount of credit.

He's made the players he inherited better, the style different, rotated the squad & increased confidence.

Also 'Meet the Manager' events keeping fans involved is a great touch...

🍀 If you're saying you're not going to the derby game on Saturday, give yourself a wobble...

🍀 Post match interview, Wilfried Nancy

- "I saw good stuff"
- Feels his message is getting through.
- Wants players that want to play his style.
- They'll do better at the derby game, as it's a derby game.

You couldn't make this nonsense up...

🍀 Nancy: Played 7 games

Won 2
Lost 5

Conceded 15 goals & scored 8.

A) Sack him - cut their losses.
B) Cheque book in January & sell it as a Nancy rebuild*

*If it succeeds it'll be a board rebuild. Sly.

The Celtic board understood how Nancy worked and works.

Celtic is a project for him; he wants to show he's a master tactician & fancies himself as Pep.

A desperate position for him this evening and tomorrow.
🍀 I'm not sold on Nancy.

I understand his ideals, mantra, less intense approach, but he hasn't had a challenge in MLS.

Potentially third choice & needs to challenge the board from day one.

A project manager with project players will be a disaster, IMO.

Gladly eat my hat if he's a winner!

🍀 Motherwell now within 5 points of Celtic.

The following battered Celtic tonight:
(🚨 Five defeats in 7 under Nancy)

Ward (What a save from Nygren)
Sparrow
O'Donnell
Watt (MOTM)

🍀 What is McGregor doing to challenge Nancy?

He's very aware of how Celtic works and how to make it work.

MON brought his confidence back & it's evident it's gone again; when your Captain is suffering, it's an uphill battle...

🍀 Nancy winning the "Inner Game"!

That's all that counts; winning isn't important when it's a project... 🤬
December 30, 2025 at 8:45 PM
🍀 Horrific defending... 🤬

🍀 Working this out is a head a scratcher...

They played football the Wilfried Nancy way! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hamilton players haven't been paid.

They have until tomorrow to pay, or they'll be in breach of the rules.

The players won't turn up on Saturday V East Fife.

🍀 A win keeps Celtic level with Hearts on points.

A 5-0 win would put them top. Last time there was a 5-0: Rogic, Dembélé & Sinclair scored in the 2016 Cup Final.

Jonny Kenny to shine... 😏 Or he might give Tom Hatton a run out! 🤷🏻‍♂️

🍀 If the board did buy Julian Araujo in January, it would be a step forward, but a striker is needed; it's nearly Kyogos anniversary!

Nobody expects them to spend millions, could they?..

The standard of officials in Scotland is poor.

There is no doubt bias, but inability ranks highly.

Euro 2024: 19 countries had officials in attendance, including an Argentine ref; Scotland was excluded by UEFA.

What can be done to turn this around?

Morning Gossip: The names keep coming as the window draws near. Maybe lazy journalism or perhaps a personal connection with Nancy, but todays name is Diego Rossi. Would take at least £10m to secure him so unlikely given our transfer model. More likely is Jocelin Ta Bi at £500k. HH

#TheAshes Are England celebrating being a superb losing team?

🍀 No option but to back Nancy. January will be huge for him & his critics.

Spaghettihad today: Livi haven't won since August & Cammy Kerr is now out. Conceded 32 and are 12th.

Celtic could stroll it, but tenterhooks!

Edinburgh derby: A Hibs win would be handy! No doubt the best in years..

🍀 Transfer Rumours:

Louis Munteanu: Romanian centre forward.
Andrej Ilic: Serbian centre forward
Younes Ebnoutalib: German/Moroccan forward.
Mateusz Bogusz: Polish attacking midfielder.
Hossam Essadak: Moroccan attacking midfielder.

And?...

Sad news to hear about the death of football legend John Robertson. Not only a genius on the field, but also part of Celtics history that will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace. HH
