Tommy Burns 1956-2008

Tragically today Tommy was taken from us, from his family and extended Celtic family.

The sadness was obvious around Celtic Park, quietness, people stunned that Tommy, someone that we've all grown up with, has passed away.

Two years ago we were shocked at his cancer, he recovered and returned to enjoy more success at Celtic.

Cancer returned, Tommy battled on but this morning he was taken from us, tragically at the age of 51, a husband, father and grandfather gone far far too early.

Words will never do Tommy justice, every Celtic fan has their memories of Tommy. The player, the manager and always the Celtic supporter.

RIP TB

It's another championship for the Bhoys

Congratulations to Willie McStay and the reserve side on winning the title for the seventh year running.

Lots of players have been involved, consistency is hard to find but whatever the team they play good passing football and know how to score.

Mark Millar has probably been the best player over the season with Paul Caddis and Scott Cuthbert not far behind.

Derek Riordan, Evander Sno and Chris Killen would rather have been playing in the first team but have given 100% to the reserves.

Craig Levein stands firm

This morning on Radio Scotland Craig Levein remained furious.

He's not for backing down, it wasn't heat of the moment, he was telling things straight after four clear cut decisions went against his side in the second half of the game with Rangers.

Noel Hunt didn't get a penalty, David Weir wasn't sent off, Weir had a good own goal unfairly disallowed and Daniel Cousin was only yellow carded for head-butting Lee Wilkie.

And to add to it all Mark deVries was booked for scoring against Rangers and daring to hold back his celebrations in case the goal was mysteriously disallowed.

And Neil Alexander jumped in to the Copland Road stand to celebrate Rangers third goal while Kirk Broadfoot punches Hunt while Weir puts the ball in his own net.

Celtic end of season singalong

It's been an incredible home season, more lows than we'd like but plenty of high's as well.

AC Milan, Benfica and Shakhtar Donetsk were all beaten in the Champions League, Barcelona provided us with a genuine thriller and of course Rangers got memorably skelped twice in quick succession.

After the 2-0 win over Hibs the players took a well deserved ovation from the supporters, whether they win anything this season is in the hands of Mike McCurry and friends as much as anyone.
