Double Celebrations / The Legacy of Lisbon 67

Glasgow Journalist Michael Pringle joins More than 90 Minutes Editor Andrew Milne for their weekly catch up on all things Celtic. The bhoys are in fine form once again after celebrating Celtic’s Scottish Cup win on Saturday at Hampden Park.

A 3-1 win for the Hoops was enough to secure a League and Cup double for Celtic. The bhoys are in no doubt that Martin O’Neill is the reason why Celtic were able to turn the season around after so many lows the season finished on such a high.

The Summer rebuild is up for discussion both on and off the park. Who will be the Celtic manager, what players will go and who will stay? Will the Celtic’s CEO leave? So many questions to be answered over the short summer break before we head off following the bhoys in pre-season.

The media meltdown in Scotland continues as Shankland jumps ship from Hearts to join the rangers. Celtic have ruined so many peoples summer because they were Simply the Best in the end and there was Sunshine on Leith once again.

For the week that is in it the bhoys look back at the Legacy left behind by the Lisbon Lions and some of the unsung heroes of 1967.

Neil Lennon Kilkenny Update

Wolfe Tone CSC welcome Neil Lennon as their special guest at Egans Bar on Friday 12 June with a kick off time of 9pm. The event will be hosted by myself and I am looking forward to sharing the stage with another Celtic Legend. The last time I interviewed Neil was when he was playing for Nottingham Forest.

The last time I was in Egans I shared the stage with two of Lenny’s former team mates Chris Sutton and Alan Thompson. Neil Lennon needs no introduction to Celtic fans and his CV as both a player and manager are there for all to see. The record books don’t lie.

He played a big part in Martin O’Neill’s first era in charge and captained the team under Gordon Strachan to the last 16 of the Champions League. As Celtic manager he steered Celtic to a famous win over Barcelona on a very special night at Celtic Park as we celebrated the 125th anniversary of our club and what a night we had in Rome when his Celtic team beat Lazio.

He has took his current club Dunfermline from second from bottom in the league to the play offs and a cup final against Celtic.

There are only 25 tickets left  and are available from club members Mark 0870635464 / Digger 0879351583/ Revolut Thomas 0879337005 for what should be another cracking evening at Egans.

Celtic Champions / Hearts – Always the Bridesmaid

Glasgow Journalist Michael Pringle joins More than 90 Minutes Editor Andrew Milne for their weekly catch up on all things Celtic. The bhoys are in fine form after celebrating Celtic’s title win on Saturday at Celtic Park on a day of pure joy.

Two late goals insured that Celtic snatched the title away from Hearts. The bhoys look back at the last week following Celtic to Motherwell and the East End of Glasgow. This followed on from beating the rangers in the Glasgow Derby.

The media and social media has been in meltdown since the Motherwell game with not a mention of how Celtic came back from the death with Martin O’Neill to win the title after winning the last 7 games in the SPFL.

The Bhoys also look ahead to the Scottish Cup Final when Celtic take on Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline at Hampden.

As usual they go back in time to wrap up the Podcast which takes them back to the drama of past seasons winning the league on the last day of the season from 1979, 1986 and 1998.

Andrew will be in conversation with Tommy Johnson, Jackie McNamara, Simon Donnelly, Alan Thompson, Peter Grant and Joe Miller at the Celtic Supporters Festival in Rosie Maguires in Spain. The festival takes place from Thursday June 04 till Sunday June 07.
