TONY MOWBRAY will finally be named Celtic manager this week after they thrashed out a £2million compensation package with West Brom.

The Baggies announced yesterday an agreement had been reached after talks with the Hoops - and that will clear the way for Mowbray to move north within the next 72 hours.

Celtic will also land Mogga's No 2 Mark Venus and coach Peter Grant after chief executive Peter Lawwell and West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace agreed settlements regarding their contracts.

Riijkard did call Celtic's tactics and performance,anti football,the date 24/03/04,Barcelona 0-0 Celtic,3/4 years before Rangers were accused of the same,so cretin get your facts right.
You shower will be lucky to survive the Europa league qualifiers never mind the Champions league,so yes £15million will come in handy for the Champions,oh happy days,
Still hurting mhankies......GOOD.

I think you'll find the anti-football comment was initially directed at the huns by just about every manager, player and journalist that watched their pathetic run in the EUFA cup prior to rioting in Manchester.
Mowbray will do well at Celtic in the SPL, the huns financial situation and poor management set up will find them out in the coming season. Enjoy your season with our trophy, it's a temporary loan...

Must be a better appointment than Gordon Strachan looking forward to good football and once again securing the league!

Mon the Hoops!

The phrase Anti-Football was originally coined by Frank Riijkard,when Barca faced Celtic at ht Nou Camp,he complained that Celtic had no intention of trying to win the game,but to make sure they did'nt lose,Rangers and Man Utd have also played the same game against Barca,but some people conveniently forget Rangers 3-0 away victory in Lyon,no mention of Anti-Football that night eh!
Maybe Mowbray will resort to Anti-Football in order to change their embarassing CL away record but it'll be alright because it's Celtic,their allowed.personally I don't think they'll get through the Qualifiers,so another £5million for the Rangers,lovely jubbley.

Contrary to your disillusioned belief dmgers, the whole world knows that the worst ever team to end up at the top of any division, were there strictly due to Celtics failure in two games at the end of the season. Your team did not win the league and the world knows it. The chasm between Celtic and your team is astronomical and a good manager like Mogga will make sure that when the split comes around again in April 2010 the SPL will be too late this time to make the difference. Enjoy your negative forays into the Champions League though. Let the world see again what the worlds top player has said many times. Rangers, play anti-football. Mogga will have you changing your underwear regularly.
