biggest next nights until wait year
The biggest disappointment for me is that I will have to wait until next year until we have nights like this again,
integrity years sticks
I've had to take a lot of stick down the years but the one thing that really got to me was when someone questioned my integrity. It's the one thing that really grates with you.
player talking years
Arsene Wenger was talking about comparisons with Johan Cruyff, a player who only comes around every 10 years and Thierry Henry is definitely one of those
football years levels
It took me 35 years of being involved at a decent level of football to become manager at a great club like Celtic.
player years feet
Paul Scholes has been the best England midfield player for 30-odd years. You'd probably have to go back to Bobby Charlton to find someone who could do as much as Scholes. When the ball arrives at his feet he could tell you where every player on that pitch is at that moment. His awareness is superb.

game goal happy league time
I haven't been there for a competitive game for a long time but I scored my first ever league goal there, so I have happy memories.
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.
light nerve training
It's a nerve thing. He'll probably be able to do some light training on Monday.
advantage apart crossing good positions taking
Apart from not taking advantage of the good crossing positions we got into, we also need a better shape,
himself next saturday trained
It will not be on Saturday because he has not really trained and is just getting himself together. Hopefully, it will be next Saturday.
