Two weeks tonight Celtic unfurl the SPFL Premiership flag, marking their 56th Scottish title.
Marking rather than celebrating.
Two months ago Celtic were in-between winning the SPFL Premiership and the Scottish Cup.
A double success for Martin O’Neill, a phrase that no-one would have dared to consider using at the start of the season.
Many fans felt that things would change drastically over the summer.
That a Head of Football Operations would be apointed, alongside aHead of Recruitment, a Professional Pathways Manager and of course a Director of Football.
How wrong could they be.
The set up that has failed to grow and develop the club remains in place.
CELTIC- THE HOME MADE CRISIS
Led by a CEO that can’t cope with football agents. Who said that? Only the £17,000 a week man himself, Michael Nicholson.
Brian Wilson admitted that mistakes had been made, lessons learned. He even threw in a boardroom refresh.
The Interim Chairman is a lifelong Labour politician. Someone never to be believed.
Nothing has changed. The boardroom refresh consisted of polishing the Coronation Cup. A trophy close to the heart of Chairman Wilson.
But we have had 3 kits launched, 3 sets of training gear launched and a watch. And also managed to polish up an old trophy so someone has been busy. Maybe Brian Wilson is a dab hand with the Duraglit

Those numbers say everything about a club bloated in complacency.
Where beating a rival formed in 2012 and losing £10m a year is considered to be some sort of success.
The season ahead is the 60th anniversary of Celtic’s greatest ever season. Culminating in the European Cup win in Lisbon.
These days the Lisbon Lions is nothing more than a crude marketing ploy.
Flog any tat and associate it with Lisbon to reel in the mugs to part with their money. Why that’s The Celtic Way.
Things have got so bad that even the most passive supporter groups are taking notice.
On Sunday the Celtic Supporters Association fired out a statement slaughtering all inside the club.
The AICSC published in full Minutes of aQ and A session with Michael Nicholson, Brian Wilson and Martin O’Neill without covering for their stpudity.
The tide may just be about to tide of the no-marks draining executive wages that make no contribution to the club.
Unfortunately it could be at the cost of a full season as Celtic return to the chaos of season 20/21 but with those pesky anti-establishment fans allowed in to share their anger.

The board should get into big cat conservation. They’d be great at artificial insemination because nobody spends as much time and effort milking lions as they do
As suspected, MON winning [somehow] The Double has – very briefly – papered over the cracks.
But we can all see that the club is in a far worse position than this time last year.
…and, it’s all leading to the CL qualifier?
Qualifying certainly won’t solve anything: just delay the inevitable changes the club still requires?
Our Club is a shambles…in all respects…There is NO ONE on the Board who has vision, passion…and drive…We are run by faceless men who have NO IDEA what our Club is all about…But ask them about money and…Kerching…and they’ll bore you to death…Something has to give soon.
With each passing day this saga becomes more and more like a carry on film,with Sid James and Kenneth Williams running the show,meanwhile Nicholson and Wilson couldn’t run a bath.
griffting on legacy ,,,,,,,destroying our future ,,,,,,a club like no other right enough

“Something has to give soon”
Aye a fu**in treble to Sevco courtesy of that bastard Lucan !
The more I see what’s happening this season combined with last seasons self harm, it just convinces me more that stopping 10IAR was deliberately staged.
We’re on our way to 16IAR without that aberration.
So, coincidence 10IAR was stopped? Nah.
Trying to go early on a stop 10IAR this time as its as near a stick on as there is…IF THEY WANT IT ?
Seems to me they don’t.
Imagine a board that doesn’t really have to do anything much to win…..but then, mibbe that’s the problem.
