Folk in Ireland here were absolutely ecstatic when MON was appointed as we all knew what he was capable of

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepappointment of MON.

And fair play to the club for generating a bit of atmosphere, excitement and sense of occasion. Things sadly lacking over recent seasons.
I honestly don't remember MON's appointment being met with the same level of enthusiasm. Recall people being happy but we also knew how easily Rangers had been thumping us for the last two seasons.

Quite optimism more than euphoria.
I don't remember it either. Most people felt we were way, way behind the huns at the time and not much would change it.
There was a lot of excitement about us getting O'Neill.

I was convinced he'd win us the league.

Anyone know where I can find a video of MON making that speech after being unveiled. Iconic moment. Monday will be up there with that hopefully.

Delighted with the appointment (even though I wanted Moyes as my first pick). That said, are we not getting a wee bit carried away with a carnival on the Celtic Way and comparing this to the MON days?

When Brendan has pumped Barca, Liverpool, Juve, Lyon, Blackburn and taken us all the way to a Euro final maybe then we can compare him to the blessed one.
People are comparing it to the appointment of MON.

MON had a pretty good rep from winning the LC with Leicester, but IMO this is a bigger appointment. This guy was a slip away from winning the Premier League and has experienced managing in the CL pre-Celtic. Incredible signing for us.

Agreed. Everyone I knew was delighted. A real sense that we had the right man for the job. :thumbsup:

This is lift off for Celtic :clap:
We have a manager with fantastic experience who will shake things up and get us playing again.
Delighted that the board have really pushed the boat out to land one of the big names in british football. This shows great ambition towards getting us back to competing strongly with the best teams in in Europe. BR wouldn't come unless he felt there is enough in his budget to raise the quality of this team to be good enough for the CL.
Without doubt the most exciting appointment to the job since MON.
The feel-good factor is back with a bang :clap:

There were quite a few reservations.

Many remembered him as a pundit in France 98 and he talked absolute drivel for much of it. Additionally, his Leicester team weren't renowned for playing particularly good football. He also cut a bit of an eccentric madcap figure on the touchline. And, some liked the idea of Hiddink.

He was though instantly impressive from his the 1st minute of his press conference onwards. And by 2pm on August 27 three was no doubt we were in a revolution.
Not quite how I remember it. He was well received, came across thoughtful in Euro 2000 and it was only after 6-2 that we knew something special was happening.
