    Who cares whether he's best pals with Goram, Mccoist or Craig Shyte for that matter. He's a good honest Celtic man with some genuine inside info to share with the fans.

    JC: I like to work hard, win and be successful. That's John Collins and that's never going to change.

    Not a fan of John Collins to be fair, but anyone that talks about himself in 3rd person annoys me lol.

    Apart from that though his who, fitness/attacking ideals seem to go hand in hand with the manager so maybe he will be good fit.
    Still a * though lol.

    This has probably been said already but does anyone think Lennon was considering Collins to be his replacement for Mjallby?

    He talked about not wanting a yes man. And seems too coincidental that his name popped up even before Deila was confirmed.

    I think we'd have ended up with Collins no matter what happened. (Which I'm happy about)

    Brilliant choice, always signed him to the role on FM. Spoiler alert: it works out well. Come on next season!

    Watched that earlier, really impressed already by Collins :50:

    Was happy to see them working harder on pressing their opponents, a clear indicator they think teams are punishing us in Europe because they have too much time on the ball (imo).

    They are actually some of his more sane posts, others were like riddles you had to read a few times to work out what he was going on about.

    Good vid that, like the ending session, collins would have seen enough of us in europe (especially last year) to know we aren't brave on the ball or good in posession under pressure either and that also works for the opppsition..
    Hopefully an indication of us being better in that department instead of hoofing in up parks to nobody and inviting another round of pressure..
    *, if scotland can do it then we certainly can..

    I actually think that Butch had an obsessive love for Brooney and he was really strugling to deal with it.
