both celtic character exactly expected five gave guys heart include last players shoulder stood tonight vision
The players gave me exactly what I expected of them, both the guys who have been here doing it for the last five years and the newer ones who stood shoulder to shoulder with them and didn't let them down. The vision I have for Celtic must include the heart and character they showed tonight but we also have to play better and get fitter.

apart celtic england english happen lived love might rangers teams
I lived in England for 21 years and I know that everybody, apart from some of the teams that think they might get relegated, would love Celtic and Rangers to be in the English League. I think it will happen eventually.
celtic certain competitor dividing focused footballer full line okay thin trying work
If you play for Celtic or Rangers, there is a certain responsibility. If you are a footballer full stop, you have a certain responsibility. You have to be disciplined.

When you look at the games he's played, it's no real surprise. He's not missed many matches for club or country over the last couple of years and, when you look back to those games he travelled to America for recently with Bulgaria, maybe it's just all beginning to catch up with him now.
attractive exciting fortunate jim jobs people resources save win
Too many people had an off-day to think it was just a one-off. I have been in jobs where you have to win to save your job. Jim Jefferies has responsibilities to win but I am fortunate enough to have the resources to win and play attractive and exciting football.

Twenty years. They've crept up on us. They've gone, just like that.
best competition dilemma everywhere hard people picks players playing rest sort team wish
When you make those decisions, it is hard because you know you have to let down people who are playing well. I just wish we had that sort of competition everywhere in the team.
