MARTIN O’NEILL SPOT ON WITH COMMENTS
Martin O’Neill knows how big of a task he has to get a result in Italy this evening against Bologna. Hopefully he can inspire the Celtic players and we can relive that great night in Rotterdam again. The win over Feyenoord was the highlight of this season so far.
Celtic have still to confirm the signing of Thomas Cvancara who O’Neill was quick to quash talk of him being a target man at yesterdays press conference.
The Celtic manager like all Celtic fans are living in hope of some new first team ready players coming in to give him better options ahead of Sunday’s game v Hearts.
O’Neill was asked about Celtic competing in Europe and he was spot on when he addressed the question and the financial gap between the Scottish League and EPFL.
That is why it has been so frustrating this season to watch Celtic throw away the chance to play in the Champions League and the financial riches it brings.
Sebastian Tounekti who scored a cracker on Sunday joined O’Neill at the press conference and another goal this evening would be very welcome.
Kick off tonight at the Renato Dall/Ara in Italy is 5:45pm Glasgow time. The game is live on TNT Sports 2.

Former Celtic Captain Jackie McNamara / The Current State of Play at Celtic/ CELTIC SOUL PODCAST
Former Celtic Captain Jackie McNamara joins Andrew Milne to talk about the current state of play at Celtic and the return of his former manager Martin O’Neill to the Celtic dugout.
He tells us how he was surprised to see his former manager return to the Celtic dugout after Brendan Rodgers left but giving the Wilfried Nancy saga he was not surprised that he is back until the end of the season.
It is refreshing to hear a former player who really understands the Celtic fans frustration and why everyone at Celtic should be accountable for their actions from players, managers and board members.

He thinks Celtic should be looking towards a feeder club in another league to feed players and even managers into Celtic.
The Bhoy also looks back at his time at Celtic working under Tommy Burns, Stopping the 10 under Wim Jansen and the success under Martin O’Neill and quality of players at the club and across the city at Ibrox during that period.
Jackie also talks about losing his best players during his time as Dundee United Manager including his front 3 moving to Celtic in the January transfer window after they had beaten Celtic at Tannadice.
Planes Trains & a Striker
I have been checking Celtic official website each and every day to see if we have finally signed a striker. There is still nothing official but last night my phone lit up with an image of two gentlemen unknown to me.
One was football agent David Nehoda and the other was his client 25 year old striker Thomas Cvancara sitting on an Aeroplane bound for Glasgow.
We are told he is currently in Glasgow having a medical at Celtic before joining on six month loan from Borussia Monchengladbach with an option to buy if things work out for him in the Eastend of Glasgow.
No doubt the transfer window will be one of the topics of debate for travelling Celtic fans on their way to Italy for the Bologna game. European adventures are always made up of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Airport and Pub check ins on the socials making me jealous as I am not travelling to this one.
It looks like I won’t be heading for Edinburgh on Sunday either after receiving news that I was unsuccessful in the ballot for tickets. It was always going to be a wait and see type game with the ticket allocation so small.

John Fallon Tribute Dinner
Each year we host the Annual More than 90 Minutes Charity Dinner in Glasgow and each year our great friend and Lisbon Lion John Fallon would attend to the support the event. At our 2025 dinner John was once again at the dinner with another former Celtic player Peter Grant and in good form holding court at his table.
Sadly John passed away later in the year and he is missed by so many people and missed on match day holding court outside the Celtic Pools Office before taking his seat inside Celtic Park. Home and away John was there to support Celtic.
He lived his dream when he signed for Celtic and went onto play for Celtic during the most successful period in the clubs famous history. He became known as the 12th Lion after that famous European Cup win in 1967 in Lisbon.
It is a fitting tribute that we host this years dinner in honour of John and the charity that carries his name. The 12th Lion is dedicated to constructing a school for 500 children in South Sudan, honouring the legacy of John. Click link for more information.
Our tribute night dinner takes place at the No. 10 Hotel on Saturday 14th March after Celtic play Motherwell at Celtic Park. A table of 10 costs £450 (Individual tickets £45). Kick of is 7pm with a drinks reception in the company of some famous faces from Celtic’s history and entertainment by Paul Sheridan from the Wakes.
The night also includes a lovely meal, guest speakers and a tribute to John from family and friends.
In 2025 we lost John but he will always be in the hearts of the Celtic fans who came across him. For more information and tickets email info@celticfanzine.com or contact 00 353 868323542.
If Celtic lose the league to Hearts or the rangers with £80 million in the bank it will be Criminal
Monday starts a new week and a busy week for Celtic. Celtic fans will be travelling to Bologna midweek for Thursday nights game in the Europa League before returning for Sundays mouth watering clash with Hearts on Sunday at Tynecastle. Celtic fans don’t have the luxury of travelling for free like those on the Celtic board but they will be there to support the bhoys.
The conversation today among Celtic fans will be the lack of urgency by the silent Celtic board in the transfer market and their refusal to speak to Celtic fans on the future for OUR club. There does not seem to be a short term plan never mind a long term plan.
If we lose the league to Hearts or the rangers with £80 million in the bank it will be criminal and even the Celtic fans who still think that the Celtic board are doing a great job will have to question the direction they are taking the club and the wages they are pulling out of the club.
It was clear for all to see yesterday from Celtic’s performance in the Scottish Cup that the squad does not have the quality in reserve to compete in all competitions if they are called upon. Brendan Rodgers called for investment in better players and now Martin O’ Neill has echoed that. Surly they must listen to a Celtic Legend but maybe not!

More than 90 Minutes Celtic Fanzine Issue 140 Out Now
More than 90 Minutes Celtic Fanzine Issue 140 is out today on digital and the print issue is at the printers and will be in the post later in the week. Order the digital edition now and get 48 pages delivered straight into your inbox or the Print edition and we will post it out to you later in the week.
Inside this issue we look back at 2025 and look ahead to 2026. The Celtic Board, The Celtic Fans Collective, Transfers, The Desmond’s and three Celtic managers are all topics covered by our team of writers as we enter uncertain times at OUR club.
Liam Scales features in this issue, he still has World Cup dreams while Celtic’s Scottish Internationals look forward to the tournament in the Summer. The state of play is not positive at Celtic. The Celtic board continue to stumble from week to week and as we go to print they still have not signed a decent striker in over 12 months.
Celtic fans from Ireland and beyond are getting shafted with fixtures changed to Sunday. Everyone knows that failure to qualify for the Champions League means Sunday fixtures after Europa Cup games but the Hearts game being changed to a Sunday for TV was another kick in the teeth for fans and more money down the drain on travel and hotels. We look at the fall out!
We also look back at how Celtic was in the dark days of the 1990’s but was the match day experience better on the terrace back then? One for the Celtic Da’s and Celtic Grand Da’s to answer. Away from home we cover the trip to Rotterdam for the Feyenoord game. A bit of light in a dark season in Europe.
Spanish based Tim, Danny Reilly talks to us about is first, worst and best games following Celtic. Mick Hillman features in our Fan Focus and Frank Costello brings us up to date with following Celtic from his home in Galway.

Scottish Cup: 2-0 win sets up clash with Dundee in the next round at Celtic Park
Martin O’Neill made plenty of changes to the starting 11 who beat Auchinleck Talbot for the Scottish Cup game at Rugby Park. He brought a number of fringe players in but still stuck with captain Callum McGregor to anchor the midfield.
Celtic were in control of the game for 90 minutes. Johnny Kenny finally found his shooting boots to open the scoring before second half substitute Tounekti scored a cracker to make it 2-0 on the night.

The Scottish junior side had to play their home game at Rugby Park after the powers that be in the SFA made them move the game from their home ground. This led to some of their fans opting to watch the game in their club house.
Those running the club will be delighted with the cash windfall from drawing Celtic and the manager can be proud of his players who defended very well and left everything on Kilmarnock’s plastic pitch.
Celtic will now face Dundee at Celtic Park in the next round of the Scottish Cup. Martin O’Neill will be happy with the win and the home draw in the next round hopefully those running Celtic can bring in the players he needs to strengthen the team.
