Laugh All You Want About Our Euro Campaign.... Brendan's Just Getting Started!

Our Champions League campaign is over for another year and as usual it seems to be giving the zombies a right good laugh. Call me old fashioned but when your in the state Sevco are it seems a bit rich to be mocking another team's performance. Particularly when those performances have came in a competition where one of your group rivals has spent over 100 million this summer alone. Manchester City will welcome the hoops tonight at the Etihad Stadium and no one is denying Celtic will really be up against it. What really irks the Celtic support though is this notion that our side are somehow an embarrassment to Scottish Football. 


One glance at the Rancid Record's hotline (I know I know) really makes for some interesting reading and before you do, be warned that this is not for the faint hearted. Anyone who despises idiocy really need not look in there because doing so is like peering into the jaws of hell. As usual most of the themes revolve around bashing Celtic and how we have found our true level whenever we play in Europe's premier competition. Honestly the hotline is full of people so stupid and deranged they could easily get elected as President of the United States. We all know these zombie's would rather be discussing child abuse as a stick to beat our club with but even the Rancid Record wouldn't allow that disgraceful stuff to be printed, so this will have to do them. Not for much longer though, because while it's true we can never bridge the financial gap, we do have a secret weapon in our arsenal... Brendan Rodgers.


Brendan has once again reaffirmed his intention to stay at Celtic for the long haul and with the club desperately trying to secure ten in a row the news is most welcome. Brendan senses the chance to make history and should he lead the club to ten in a row his name will sit up there proudly alongside the big man Jock Stein. Most of the intelligent zombies concede that ten in a row is a distinct possibility but perhaps they haven't quite grasped what would be a lovely side effect of such a milestone being completed. Celtic would have a settled squad and one that Brendan would be adding to year after year. Factor in a few season's Champions League money and there's no reason the quality of player won't continue to rise. Celtic will punch above their weight in Europe and no one will be laughing, least of all that mob.


Remember this campaign is Brendan's first and we can safely assume from his comments that he wanted more players in during the summer... players who will undoubtedly arrive in the next one or two windows. In other words the team we are currently seeing on the park, the one who is dominating Scottish football and putting Sevco in their place is not the finished article. Martin O'Neill took a few seasons to reach Seville, Gordon Strachan and Neil Lennon both struggled in their first seasons in Europe as well. Both eventually settled and did fine. Brendan?....well he's overachieved by even qualifying in the first place. We will go from strength to strength under his stewardship.  Laugh all you want zombies but Brendan is just getting started!


Hail Hail
