Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
No, I'll give you that, but I suppose even the modern version of Uruguay proves the point that being small is no excuse. Anyway, if Press Reports are to be believed, our troubles are over anyway as the SFA has pressed the "send for Walter" button
Smith being touted by the media is one thing, him being seriously considered is quite another. This man walked out on Scotland for money - if it was for love of Rangers, then where the eff has he been for the last six years? He realised what was going down at Ibrox and deserted the sinking ship. He took 50 grand for allowing himself to be used by Charles Green in an attempt to legitize newclub, then buggered off again as soon as the cheque cleared. Out the many things that might be written on his gravestone, one of them won't be : We don't do walking away. It's more probable that he's just a squirrel to keep attention away from the disaster for them that was Saturday's result and them being found out about Morelos. Jabba and the BBC again. The first question I would ask the old tit if I interviewed him would be how do we know you're not just filling in until Murty is punted and they hun asks you to go back again.

Stubbs on smell the glove and Di Canio.
glove party Former Celtic defender Alan Stubbs reveals the secrets behind ‘smell the glove’ and stopping Rangers ten-in-a-row The ex-Hibs gaffer also revealed how close he was to leaving the Hoops to join the English Premier League the year before stopping Gers
Spoiler: click to toggle By Ryan Maher IT is one of the most secretive stories in Scottish football history. But former Celtic defender Alan Stubbs insists the story behind ‘smell the glove’ was made up. After stopping Rangers win ten-in-a-row on the final day of the 1997/98 season, the Hoops players came out onto the pitch at Celtic Park with t-shirts adorning the slogan. And despite rumours throughout the years behind it’s meaning, Stubbs revealed the truth behind it to Si Ferry’s Open Goal 20 years on and the pressure felt in stopping the ten. He said: “There was a lot of talk that season because for some reason we came up with this thing called ‘smell the glove’ and everybody wanted to know what it was. It meant nothing but everyone got obsessed by it. “We would all mention sometimes in the press conferences “we’ve got the thing smell the glove” and everybody was intrigued by it. We just kept it going all year. “At the end of the season the biggest reason we stopped ten-in-a-row was, obviously you need to get results but it was the team spirit. You can’t underestimated how important team spirit is. “There was a togetherness and a bond with the players that we felt we could go into any game and win anything. “There was times in the season where Rangers would be ahead and then we would peg them back and it was like that all the way to the end. Then we managed to come out on top. “The biggest thing was relief at the end – you were mentally drained. You could imagine the expectation and the pressure on the players going out. “It wasn’t a record that we wanted – the team that couldn’t stop ten-in-a-row. We felt like it was something we couldn’t live with. “Luckily enough we managed to stop Rangers from doing it. “It wasn’t nice at times playing that season because of the pressure but at the end of it the satisfaction was enormous.” Stubbs signed for Tommy Burns Celtic in 1996 for £4million from Bolton Wanderers before joining his boyhood side Everton in 2001. And despite a successful spell in Glasgow, the man who led Hibs to their first Scottish Cup win in 114 years revealed he was half-a-million away from leaving after only one year. He added: “Aston Villa had put on offer in for me just after my first year. “Fergus McCann – because he was very much a broadsheets man who worked on figures – wanted £6.5million for me. “Villa got to £6million. Personal terms were all agreed but Fergus said ‘I want £6.5million or he’s not going’ and in the end they couldn’t go to that. “When I look back now I’m happy it didn’t because I loved every minute after that.” BEAUTIFUL BHOY Former Celtic star Paolo di Canio used to love looking at himself in a mirror, says former Hibs boss Alan StubbsThe Italian was a popular figure during his short Parkhead stay and Stubbs says he would also host karaoke evenings in his home By Scott MacArthur ALAN STUBBS has revealed that Paolo di Canio used to stand in front of a mirror and say his mother had made a beautiful baby. The Italian was a popular figure among the Celtic squad during his short stay at Parkhead between 1996 and 1997. And Stubbs has revealed how he would spend ages in front of the mirror, combing his hair and going on about his looks. He told Open Goal: “He would always come out the shower and be in front of the mirror and it was basically Paolo’s mirror, you could never get him out of there. “And as his English started to get better he would say, ‘My mother, she give birth to a beautiful baby,’ while combing his hair. “And that was Paolo. He was great. “He picked up the language really quickly and he was a fantastic character. “He loved his karaoke, he had a karaoke machine in his house and sometimes we’d all go back and Paolo would want centre stage. “He loved it, he was a showman. He loved the attention” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2177496/celtic-paolo-di-canio-alan-stubbs/

I always thought it was something Goram had said to us. Smell the glove as it's the closest you'll ever get to the title and chucked his glove into the dressing room. No idea where that came from, mind you.

Every time I read something about that game against St Johnstone my heart starts to race in a repeat of the anxiety I felt that day, fearing that we wouldn't stop them. It's still the most unbearable tension I've ever felt-about anything!

Craig Levin was spot on with his comments there and the video clips of the game back him up. I was told years ago (might have ben after this game )that CL had a soft spot for us?? No idea how true this was!! Watched this game with Aberdeen fans in Motherwell and we were all amazed at the decisions

I always thought it was something Goram had said to us. Smell the glove as it's the closest you'll ever get to the title and chucked his glove into the dressing room. No idea where that came from, mind you. That’s the account I heard way back when.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep glove party Former Celtic defender Alan Stubbs reveals the secrets behind ‘smell the glove’ and stopping Rangers ten-in-a-rowThe ex-Hibs gaffer also revealed how close he was to leaving the Hoops to join the English Premier League the year before stopping Gers Spoiler: click to toggle By Ryan Maher IT is one of the most secretive stories in Scottish football history. But former Celtic defender Alan Stubbs insists the story behind ‘smell the glove’ was made up. After stopping Rangers win ten-in-a-row on the final day of the 1997/98 season, the Hoops players came out onto the pitch at Celtic Park with t-shirts adorning the slogan. And despite rumours throughout the years behind it’s meaning, Stubbs revealed the truth behind it to Si Ferry’s Open Goal 20 years on and the pressure felt in stopping the ten. He said: “There was a lot of talk that season because for some reason we came up with this thing called ‘smell the glove’ and everybody wanted to know what it was. It meant nothing but everyone got obsessed by it. “We would all mention sometimes in the press conferences “we’ve got the thing smell the glove” and everybody was intrigued by it. We just kept it going all year. “At the end of the season the biggest reason we stopped ten-in-a-row was, obviously you need to get results but it was the team spirit. You can’t underestimated how important team spirit is. “There was a togetherness and a bond with the players that we felt we could go into any game and win anything. “There was times in the season where Rangers would be ahead and then we would peg them back and it was like that all the way to the end. Then we managed to come out on top. “The biggest thing was relief at the end – you were mentally drained. You could imagine the expectation and the pressure on the players going out. “It wasn’t a record that we wanted – the team that couldn’t stop ten-in-a-row. We felt like it was something we couldn’t live with. “Luckily enough we managed to stop Rangers from doing it. “It wasn’t nice at times playing that season because of the pressure but at the end of it the satisfaction was enormous.” Stubbs signed for Tommy Burns Celtic in 1996 for £4million from Bolton Wanderers before joining his boyhood side Everton in 2001. And despite a successful spell in Glasgow, the man who led Hibs to their first Scottish Cup win in 114 years revealed he was half-a-million away from leaving after only one year. He added: “Aston Villa had put on offer in for me just after my first year. “Fergus McCann – because he was very much a broadsheets man who worked on figures – wanted £6.5million for me. “Villa got to £6million. Personal terms were all agreed but Fergus said ‘I want £6.5million or he’s not going’ and in the end they couldn’t go to that. “When I look back now I’m happy it didn’t because I loved every minute after that.” BEAUTIFUL BHOY Former Celtic star Paolo di Canio used to love looking at himself in a mirror, says former Hibs boss Alan StubbsThe Italian was a popular figure during his short Parkhead stay and Stubbs says he would also host karaoke evenings in his home By Scott MacArthur ALAN STUBBS has revealed that Paolo di Canio used to stand in front of a mirror and say his mother had made a beautiful baby. The Italian was a popular figure among the Celtic squad during his short stay at Parkhead between 1996 and 1997. And Stubbs has revealed how he would spend ages in front of the mirror, combing his hair and going on about his looks. He told Open Goal: “He would always come out the shower and be in front of the mirror and it was basically Paolo’s mirror, you could never get him out of there. “And as his English started to get better he would say, ‘My mother, she give birth to a beautiful baby,’ while combing his hair. “And that was Paolo. He was great. “He picked up the language really quickly and he was a fantastic character. “He loved his karaoke, he had a karaoke machine in his house and sometimes we’d all go back and Paolo would want centre stage. “He loved it, he was a showman. He loved the attention” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2177496/celtic-paolo-di-canio-alan-stubbs/

Craig Levin was spot on with his comments there and the video clips of the game back him up.
I was told years ago (might have ben after this game )that CL had a soft spot for us?? No idea how true this was!! Watched this game with Aberdeen fans in Motherwell and we were all amazed at the decisions His Mum was (is) a Celtic fan.
Craig is a Hearts man (of course) but detests Rangers.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I remember Levein absolutely furious, whilst Dundee Utd manager, after a game at Ibrox, and a shocking ref performance. Don't think I have heard a manager say some of the things Levein said after that game.
Yep went totally mental on live tv. A day later he had changed the narrative. A huns hun 👍 And was promptly given the Scotland job.
