I was hoping to begin this article with the words 'Forza Celtic', followed by a long piece about another fantastic European result. And for 70 minutes I held genuine hope of that being the case. Celtic - scintillating but trailing. 20 minutes later Juventus had all but finished of the...

Over the past few weeks I have received many questions regarding Celtic's number 88, Gary Hooper. Ever since his release from Tottenham's youth team, Hooper has steadily rebuilt his career. Slowly he rose through the ranks, impressing at Grays Athletic, Scunthorpe and then earning a move to Celtic. His 58...

August 21, 20:45. It's half-time in Sweden. Celtic are 1-0 up but have been completely outplayed by a plucky Helsingborg side. It is only because of the heroics of Fraser Forster that Celtic are still in the game (a phrase that would be often repeated in the subsequent months).

There are some nights where being a fan of any sport makes no sense. After a significant disappointment, the feeling of complete dejection is very real.

Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster has finally been called into the England squad. It is a call that is long overdue, well deserved and incredibly exciting.

This influence does not just refer your opions on a...

Scotland's failure to qualify for an international tournament in the last 14 years is not a national embarrassment. Nonetheless, the Scottish team, continually ridiculed, will find it difficulty to qualify for the World Cup. Euro qualification will become easier with the increased size of that tournament, but the World Cup...

The inclusion of a Team GB football team sparked much interest. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland united, albeit unsuccessfully, under one football banner. Yet due to the qualification requirements for Rio 2016, it seems unlikely that we will see an incarnate of a Team GB football team any time...

Celtic have won 2 of their last 34 European away games. That statistic will be echoed across every British newspaper on the eve of their critical Champions League clash with Helsingborgs IF. Such a statistic, without proper context, is incredibly misleading.

The losses to Artmedia, Copenhagen, Aalborg, Hapoel Tel Aviv,...

The LIBOR rigging scandal was the story of the last week, but this tale has some surprising parallels with the demise of Rangers. Of course the original crimes were very different, but both their supporters cited the 'greater good', as arguments for the continuation of the status quo. Why have...
