football jobs team
The reality, ... is that I need to win games of football. That's where the pressure and the sleepless nights come from. There's a fantasy pressure with this job but none of that matters. I need to make this team into a good unit, need to take it forward, give it a change of pace, need to get it younger and to use the experience of the lads we've got here. I need Lennon and Sutton and people like that to go and show how you handle being a Celtic player.

I'm going to miss his childlike laugh. I'll forget the goals but I'll never forget that laugh.
football three done
He could have done one of three things. He didn't do either.
despair matter depth
Sometimes to go forward you've got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back. From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.
home player knows
All the really good players I know, they all knew right from wrong. So many of them don't learn that at home nowadays.

Believe me, you need good people if you want to make good players.

I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe! jump of a bridge.

sports scotland feelings
I get the feeling a lot of politicians are there to help themselves financially, first and foremost. I don't really need to do that, and I thought if I could do something for sport in Scotland, that would be really fulfilling.

I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on.
responsibility needs responsibilities-in-life
You need responsibility in life.

People talk about footballers and they get a bad press when not all of them deserve it.

It took me 35 years of being involved at a decent level of football to become manager at a great club like Celtic.
football long people
I've been in football a long time and people have problems through debt, drugs, drink and family.
