Delighted with the win, delighted with the performance and delighted with the clean sheet.
age bother gary huge hungry influence liverpool mental played problem until
Age doesn't bother me, ... I played in the Premiership until I was 40, Gary McAllister was huge influence on Liverpool at 36, so I don't have a problem with that. It's about fitness, mental attitude, are you still hungry enough.

Just because you've had a couple of bad results, it doesn't make you a bad manager or a bad person,

John Kennedy has worked with the pack this week. He has not done any contact stuff but he has been with us. He's still some time off but it's great to have him back.

He's got everyone's respect at Celtic Park, but I'm afraid it's every man for himself on Saturday,
adorned anybody bit clubs everybody figure former gradually known loved loving memory noose particular people presence problem pushed quite rather round scary weighs worship
His presence will always be here, ... But I don't think he would like to be known as a figure that weighs heavily on everybody else. I think he'd like to say 'well, I've done my bit, you get on with your bit now'. The place is adorned with his pictures, which is quite right. But I've been to some clubs where it (the memory of a former great) can be a noose round your neck. It's not such a big problem here. He's well loved rather than worshipped. I think loving something is better than worshipping something. With worship you're kind of pushed into it. It can be a scary thing. It can be indoctrinated into people to worship a particular god. Love is a different. That has to gradually come on. You can't push anybody into loving anybody, but they all loved Jock.
believe best lad moment trying wants work
There is an impasse at the moment but we are still trying our best to get him because I still believe there is a lot in the lad I can work on. He also wants to come here, which is great.

We may not be thanked for putting our necks on the line but I hope he looks at that.

If this were a football match, Portsmouth would be shown the yellow card for time-wasting. To comment now would embarrass the player but there will be a time of my choosing when I will have something to say.
forward hard tries
He tries to play the forward pass, the hard pass.
