Ok so I don't like Davie Provan much. Great Player but not so good at being a pundit, however, I just read his article he wrote last week about BR and 10 in a row etc and find I agree with him. What is the obsession with 10 in a row and beating the record. Other clubs in the world have done more ( Rosenberg and A Latvian team ) and nobody in football cares. Would 10 in a row beat the 9 done by Big Jock? As provan says when Jock did it he won the European cup and got to semi finals as well so surely 10 in a row would still not be as great an achievement. I hink Provan is right and champions league last 16 or further should be the real target and 10 in a row is quite insignificant. Just my thoughts 😂

At this moment in time we need to win the league to have a chance of getting into the CL. The more we win the league the better the chances of reaching the latter stages. If it so happen to take us 9,10,11,12 in a row, I for one will be a very happy Bhoy.

Do we not need to win the league to get into the CL?

I know what your saying, European progress is a top priority. But at home, to get 10 or more titles will give a generation of fans a generation of bragging rights, it sounds petty, but the feelgood factor of that achievement would last for years to come.

He's right about Europe fed up telling sevconians that the 54 titles there old club won meant nothing In the wider world my god real Madrid have won 10 European cups now that's an achievement, but if we got the 10 the bragging rights would be off the radar. bring it on HH.

I'm not saying it would be a better achievement, but as far as I'm concerned doing 10 in a row would be magic.

Rangers won a European trophy around the same time as we did (same year? ) and no one cares cause we did one better.
Right or wrong, dead or alive, cheating or not, Rangers won nine in a row, let's do ten and forget the pain of the 90's.

Charlie Nick said today that our titles don't merit anything without competition, but you can only play the teams in front of you. We (celtic) we're on our knees in the early 90's and no one seemed to care about 'competition'.

As I said 10 in a row will be one hell of a party for me.

Hail Hail

last years celtic progress was to get into the champions league group stages. mission accomplished.

As soon as the draw was made, I knew tough group, hoped for eu fitba after Christmas but that was far fetched.

This years mission is to get into the champions league group stages (which includes good signings now, precontracts for summer, nailing down existing good players, shedding dead wood and of course winning the league - then the qualifiers)

We can't really talk progress as tough qualifiers and we could be back to square -1

Celtic beating rangers is nothing to brag about, its expected as we are a better team, better position, better principals, no cheats etc.

Don't think we need to prove anything to rangers fans.

Now celtic beating Barca, what a night - qualifying for the next round with a game in hand, above man utd (thanks Naka, wee GS)

The TIAR is a target set to overtake the nine consecutive titles accrued by ourselves and EBT Utd and will set a. Unique domestic record and bestow bragging rights as bhampot has mentioned.
Thanks to the current ranking system and unfair allocation of CL places, we have to continually win the title to even get into the qualifiers.
Fortunately, we have a manager who is starting to build a side capable of domestic dominance and progress in Europe for the foreseeable future - infinity and beyond lol.

Digibanger-I know where you're coming from that beating the forces of darkness and evil is nothing to brag about. But we're only looking at a short window-the longer term view is quite amazing. 100 years ago they were the establishment and for a long time after it-until fairly recent times. Then us lot of pig ignorant uneducated immigrant bog trotters were formed to alleviate our own poverty because nobody else gave a feck and Scotland didn't want us. Yet we achieved the supposedly unachievable in 67 which they've never managed. And better than that-they are now on their arse-financially feckd-history-and no longer-THE PEOPLE. And they just can't handle it that the TIM is no longer keeping his head down and has moved on. So never let yourself get tired of whipping their arse brother 🍀

the song is we're celtic supporters, not we are ragers haters.

would rather set my sights on the stars than looking back at them in the gutter.

The toughest thing about gameshows is when a topic comes up that you just don't have the foggiest about. For Wednesday night's contestant her dreaded subject was football, but she needn't have worried - her boyfriend had come up with an ingenious plan.
Loved this wee snippet in the ET.
When Tasha and Jo went on Pointless, Tasha's boyfriend Alex gave her a solid piece of advice: when in doubt, answer Henrik Larsson.

And it certainly was a stellar recommendation. The show was looking for any goal-scorer in Euro 2000, and the girls went on to win a jackpot of £2,250 with an answer of none other than "Henrik Larsson" - which was both right and pointless.
