Celtic are through to the final, but the "hibernation" continues. 😴 From a 220 packing score to 34 minutes without a shot—is a lack of coaching the real crisis? Plus, the Tierney & Iheanacho fitness puzzle.

I'm 56 today, so it's an afternoon session with my eldest in The Queens.

Apple needs to explain this highly irregular conduct.

Celtic’s Dens Park revival explained and the problem that could define the title race Celtic’s win at Dundee showed clear progress in pressing and performance but missed chances and late drama continue to highlight a flaw that could…

Celtic have now earned 17 points directly from goals scored after the 80th minute this season.

It demonstrates resilience but also underlines how often the team struggle to put away opponents despite having the chances to do so.

Thoughts on yesterday ⤵️

Kelechi Iheanacho believes he can consistently start games for Celtic ahead of the split.

The striker opened up on his contract, the mental toll of being out injured, and how Martin O'Neill gives him confidence after Sunday's win over Dundee.

Striking Anatomy A season of impotence

Over their careers, assuming they will be the main striking options for the last 6-games, Iheanacho and Cvancara have been ok finishers. Both have less than 25 shots so far at Celtic. There remains a reasonable basis for hope if they get the chances.

Deep Cover is a bit of fun.
Sisu is a bit of a mental war movie, a bit like Tarantino meets Machete 😂

like. in a just world
- UBI exists
- AI art/writing/translation etc still exists but is deeply unpopular and viewed as being lazy on corpo's part because well, it's not as good lol
- because UBI exists more people would be able to afford the luxury rates of human-made creative work

There is a lot of divisive language and misinformation about people seeking safety lately.

This is the reality of claiming asylum and being a refugee in Scotland 👇

The decision by Celtic FC to allow fans of another club access to Lennoxtown to interview a Celtic player while banning our own fan media is the latest example of utter contempt supporters are currently held in.

We debate the next manager profile, reveal the data showing how self-inflicted errors derailed our season, and preview the wildest SPFL title run-in in years!

I'm f*cking angry today! This map's the reason! Scotland, a country rich in renewable energy has 36% of households unable to adequately heat their homes yet England siphons off ~5GW of our wind power and increases our electricity prices as a result to reduce their own fuel poverty.

Universal Basic Income works. It works extremely well because what people need is cash, trust, and dignity, not paternalistic bureaucratic hoops to jump through to exist. And yes we can afford it because the lack of it is very costly. UBI should be seen as an investment with a large expected return.

MSM monitor has made a handy list! 👇

Our board live in a world of toxic positivity were they convince each other they are doing a great job and it's everyone else's fault. They have an inflated view of they own worth.

🤣🤣🤣 cry harder Derek jeezo 😅

Welfare was built for a working world long gone. The update to a more versatile and responsive model is long overdue.

Another argument for UBI; it short circuits the sort of corruption highlighted here. “Needs based” TANF allowed DiBiase and LeFavre to bank huge amounts of money meant to help low income people. Add in all the admin. All that money could have gone into people’s hands for food, rent, & kid’s needs.

I agree the whole added time is completely one-sided in favour of certain teams in Scottish football. they should introduce a rugby style clock that stops and play till the next deadball once the 90 ends
