SPL final day
1:33 pm on the 22nd of May, 2005So, the final day of the season dawns, the title, obviously, is out of reach of Rangers. Come back in two and a half hours to see if I’ve hastily edited this post, here’s hoping.
The big news now though is that Gordon Strachan will be the next Celtic manager, great! I think he’d be a great addition to the SPL, how well he’d do I don’t know but he’d certainly be interesting in his interviews. He doesn’t have the best track record in management so maybe it’d be good for Rangers if he is appointed. I know I championed him for the Scotland job but it’s a different type of job altogether, and besides I’m allowed to change my mind to suit the question.

I turned the radio off when Rangers scored, too nerve wrecking and potentially heart attack moments on the way.
I’ll turn it on again once it’s over…

I think I’m going to leave this post as it is as a reminder of how unlikely the actual outcome was.

I think I’ll leave the gloating for another format.
BUt on Strachan - the rumour mill is that O’Neill will stand down for a year to tend for his wife. Now his reason’s for standing down are entirely correct, and given that he won’t ever need to work again, I’d do exactly the same. But does he or he Celtic board seriously expect to be able to get a credible coach to agree to come in for one year only? It jsut won’t work. BUt I’d love to see them try…

I can’t see why Gordon Strachan would take the Celtic job. He has the pick of any sub-Arsenal/Man U/Chelsea job in the Premiership, so why take a difficult job in a crappy league where if you come second, you’ve failed. If I was him, I’d hold out for Chris Coleman losing his job early next season.
