'Painful truth' laid bare at Celtic ahead of daunting run18 February 2026, 8:29 am
The next six games will go a long way to answering the question that some supporters around Parkhead have been pondering these past few weeks: is Martin O'Neill slowly turning Celtic into the real deal? With the greatest respect to the three teams concerned, last-gasp victories over Dundee, Livingston and Kilmarnock won't cut it if Celtic are serious about making further inroads on the three fronts they're currently fighting. You can't beat it for drama, certainly, and yet the painful truth which even those viewing things through green and white tinted spectacles can't fail to see clearly, is that Celtic only just scraped by three of the Premiership's bottom four teams. -

'We'd be a far poorer club without O'Nien'18 February 2026, 8:13 am
Sunday's game between Sunderland and Oxford United was far from an FA Cup classic, but it offered us a reminder of just how fortunate we are to have Luke O'Nien at our football club. Luke has been written off more times than I have had hot dinners down the years - yet almost eight years since he signed when we were in League One, he's still here, and absolutely smashing it and proving people wrong. Obviously, he's a lot older and wiser now, and has improved so much, but I'm not even sure Luke himself could have imagined back then that he'd still be playing for Sunderland all these years later as a Premier League footballer. -
