  1. We hardly knew ye...

    At just 33 days, Wilfried Nancy's tenure is by far the shortest of any permanent Celtic manager.

    Indeed, Martin O'Neill's interim reign (37 days) was longer.

    You might not be enjoying it. Or you are. Or you eventually will be. But we are all arguably living through the wildest season in Scottish football history.

    Hearts are top, St Mirren are the League Cup holders, Celtic are looking for their third permanent manager of the season, Rangers are on their second.

    Oh, and Aberdeen binned their manager yesterday. What's next?

    Growing up in the shadow of Rangers in the 80s and 90s, I remember what it’s like to be second best. I’ve craved a challenge from the rest of Scottish football for a long time and I applaud Hearts for their performance this year. What has confused me so much - and been impossible to accept - is that Celtic have been so bad that we can’t call this a challenge. I feel sorry for Nancy, I’m pleased to see Tisdale removed. Spend big in the window Celtic. No project players or managers please.

    Right decision, job was to big for Nancy and he underestimated the task , his arrogance didn’t sit well with the supporters, the Celtic board need get the next appointment correct, and we definitely need strikers who can score goals as what we have at present no where near good enough

    Not unexpected. Decent guy, but over promoted. His position was untenable after the weekend. Most important news is Tisdale going. Responsible for Nancy’s appointment, part of the issues with Rodger’s and our abysmal recent transfer business.

    For Celtic to lose six out of eight games and ship as many goals as they did, it was kamikaze stuff.

    As much as you want to give a manager time, Celtic have acted pretty decisively because there’s still a league title to win.
