Of course I'm the new Celtic manager :D Celtic have been poor in recent years. Celtic haven't finished in top two since 15/16... It's now 19/20 The staffing and coaching is a mess so I sort that out. I really want to change the squad but its really difficult to tell how good or bad we are. We definetly need to invest in youth so I spend a tiny bit of budget on a new young keeper Hutton (England U21) to put between the sticks and make some Brazilliant future signings whom are about 17/18 and then will stick on loan to Bulgaria for 3 years. The amount of oldies taking up the wage bill is ridiculous. Luckily most run out at the end of the season so they'll all be off and I'l be able to reshape the squad in the summer. Anyway to the results. First 9 games unbeaten (6 wins) including 5-0 over Rangers, and only conceding 3 :D Landini is on form. An Italian young striker who scores for fun. Our form slips a little and in the 7 following games, we lose twice and draw twice... but pick up another win against Rangers. This time 5-1 with Anichebe scoring a hat trick. He's been the on form striker lately. Which takes me up to the final game of the season... I started about 7 or just a couple more points behind Rangers and in 3rd place. I have closed the gap to just 2 points, when we really should be ahead but some shocking performances cost us points. Meanwhile at Cowdenbeath, Damien Duff manages to throw away 6 point gap and finish 2nd. Also Villa, MK Dons and Bolton are relegated from the Championship. So the final day of the season. Celtic vs Partick Rangers vs Inverness To win the title, we need Rangers to not win and us to beat Partick. Our goal difference will win it if they draw. Either way its Celtic's best finish for a few years and Champions League Football :D 6 mins... LANDINI!!! 1-0 to Celtic 8 mins... own goal!! 2-0 29 mins... ANICHEBE!! 3-0 34 mins... Rangers 1-0 Inverness Half Time... the title looks to be heading to Rangers Full Time. No goals in the second half. We did what we could but Rangers scraped the win. A real shame that a team we put 10 goals past in two games won the league. Oh well. Next year, it's ours. |
