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.
loved player problem spoke work
I don't think there will be too much of a problem getting a work permit. I spoke to the player and he loved it here and we will try to make an arrangement to keep it ongoing.
check players taken week
We have to check on what the week has taken out of the international players physically,
happy three
The only thing I'm happy about is the three points,
faces football good high ivan scottish t tempo
T here are a lot of young faces in their side. They play at a high tempo and have some right good players. Ivan Sproule does very well when he comes on. To me, Scottish football is in a good place at the minute.
america beginning catch club country couple games last matches maybe missed recently travelled
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.
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.
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
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. Two of our best players form-wise have not been getting a game, but I don't have that dilemma elsewhere. The rest of the team really picks itself.
absolutely adam defense fantastic food mistake
The defense was fantastic, absolutely fantastic and Adam and Stanislav give me food for thought. I don't think Adam made a mistake the whole game.

Were people squaring up to him or was he squaring up to other people?,

We went a stage further than on Wednesday. Our delivery was better today, but our final touch was a problem.

We are very keen that Chris remains at the club and, hopefully, this can be achieved.
