Crazy stuff really. Could be a proper 3 horse race potentially? O'Neill knows what he's doing, presumably they might add in January too. Rohl seems like he's turned Rangers fortunes around too (was very tempted to say on a roll) and Hearts still chugging along.

Would be good for the league if it actually was a competitive race.

Be great if Hearts won it and I know they are slightly bookies favs but with Rohl and O'Neill in Glasgow I think Hearts might end up 3rd.

They just signed Araujo from Bournmouth on loan until the end of the season, a right back to play in Nancy's 3-4-3. 🙂

Never have I seen such disastrous managers at both Celtic and Rangers, especially in the same season. Yet those two clubs will likely be in a two horse race for the title (for the 100th time) by March.

He's probably never seen Glasgow without Christmas decorations up.

Did Celtic really have that dude who managed Exeter city for twelve years as their director of football?

What is going on up there?

Surely has to be one of the most bizarre appointments ever. Not just in Scottish football either.

Took Kilmarnock about 3 weeks to appoint someone who was available the whole time. Neil McCann appointed manager with Billy Dodds as assistant. Not sure about that one at all, next to zero management experience, Dodds does I suppose.

Play Livi at the weekend, proverbial 6 pointer.

He worked wonders with us at Exeter... as a manager... in the Conference, League 2 and League 1. Not a clue how he's ended of DoF at Celtic, didn't even know he was there until a few weeks ago.

EDIT: Just seen that he failed pretty miserably at MK Dons, Bristol Rovers and Stevenage before being awarded with that job at Celtic. Bizzare.

I think Tisdale's appointment at Celtic is seen widely as even worse than Thelwell's at Rangers and that was bad. At least Thelwell had experience, Tisdale appears to have managed to blag an interview and fill the Celtic board full of shite, he certainly couldn't have presented an impressive CV with any experience in that kid of roll and certainly not enough for a club like Celtic and Nancy's appointment kind of proves that.

2-0 Rangers.

Great job Rohl's doing, from 13 behind Hearts to 3 behind now.

Top manager, they don't deserve him. Not sure why he's there tbh.
