The husband of a friend of mine (who I probably also consider a good friend nowadays) supports them. I tell him frequently that I utterly despise his football club and wish them nothing but misery. 😄🤷♂️ There is a man who goes to my pub who is Celtic, but whose son is far more sensible as he supports Hearts and I believe is always telling his dad how he hates Celtic. The father I should say is a very nice person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 2 hours ago, salvo69 said: You have to have more ambition than just joining the best team in your country. Look at Alphonso Davies from Munich (19 year old). He’s just won the CL and German League and his family were refugees then he ended up in Canada and played football. dont dream about being the best in your country dream about being the best. the problem with Scots players is they see playing first team football as the pinnacle and they just rest on their laurels and not work hard enough although I have no time for Riordan, O Connor and Griffiths they all had exceptional talent that could have left a legacy for club and country but they never put the work in Riordan is only 37 and hasn’t kicked a ball for 3 years while Ronaldo is the same age and setting scoring records in the top flight in Serie A.....it’s all about your dedication and work ethic but also your mindset Aaron probe me wrong and sign for Bayern and use Alphonso as inspiration Those three really should be sitting as multi millionaires with great careers and around 200 Scotland caps combined, striker being a position the national team has struggled in. Hibs class prevented it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Willie Wallace was a bona fide transfer deal which we can't argue about. Andy Lynch was a different matter though, I heard years later from someone who would be in a position to know that Stein had tapped Lynch, and told him just to get himself into the Hearts reserves by not trying too hard. Lynch was a winger at Hearts who never quite performed as well as he should have, and sure enough Stein came in and made an offer. Celtic turned him into a full-back though which might have been a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hickey’s agent has had everyone on strings all summer. He’s wanted by the European champions and also has a chance to go to Serie A. But no, he’d rather join Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a long time ago, but I remember his form plummeted, and some fans even booing him. Another game I remember around then was my first trip to Easter Road. We lost 3-1, and the headline in the Pink was along the lines of 'Wallace booked and misses penalty', which supports your position. I was too young to notice drops in form, though well able to spot things like four goals in a half, missed penalty, or booking (which was a big deal in those days). The next time I saw Wallace he scored, though....... Celtic beat Hearts 3-0 and he scored from a direct free-kick just outside the box. Later Cruickshank would save Gemmell's penalty, only for it to be retaken because he had moved before the ball was kicked. A trip down memory lane.

He was never more than average and only got to play in a very average Celtic team, by their Lisbon Lions standards. Stein didn’t seem to have the same magic after his car accident.

Deepfriedpizza Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 People comparing playing with Brown and that to playing with Muller are off their head. Hickey wouldn't be in that Bayern squad ffs... He'd be in the development squad and looking at the differences between him and Davies for example - the current Bayern RB: there is over a year difference in age but one of them is amazing at the highest level and let's be honest, the other is not. This will hardly change in the next year or two, will it? They'll end up with a better left back and Hickey will need to weigh up his options again. It's up to him where he wants to go. He owes nobody anything. He's played with Celtic before as well and is also a Celtic fan, remember! People wishing him, an 18 year old boy ill, is shocking tbh.

Celtic can have him if they pay the £1.2-£1.8m. Hickey will always wonder what might have been, especially as there's a good chance Celtic may struggle to get above Rangers in the league this year and they're going to do nothing in Europe.
