Boyd its his opinion, and I ask what does he know, he was a player that scored more goals for the opposition than he did Celtic.
I saw Boyd in his latter days at Celtic, bloody awful in my opinion an accident waiting to happen, a very average player at best, really couldnt spell fitba, thats how I saw him.
I put Boyd along with players like, Booboo Balde, Danny Mills, Xavier thats at LA Galaxy, Christian Dailly how he gets a game for Rangers puzzles me?
Celtic are having problems with Smith and Rangers, it started at the end of last season, and continues, if Strachan stays Celtic WILL have it very difficult next season, because Smith will buy, and they are already hard to beat and even SCORE against.
Another thing Celtics backline are NOT good, but remember if those at the front and the middle are gun shy amnd canny shoot and score, the pressure on the whole defense including Boruc remains.
Bottom bloody line Gordon Strachan HAS to go!

they should get shot of him, but i don't necessarily think it'll happen during the summer break. they may wait a little longer. i don't think there's enough fan pressure to axe Strachan just yet... but of course there's still a couple of Old Firm games to come that could change that.

Yes but IF Strachan was to win the last two games theres no doubt in my mind it will be LUCK!
I agree with you on fan pressure, there are many that would keep him, bloody mystery to me?

i think they're sticking with him for the moment due to the success he's had before now.

however, the success was against a piss-poor Rangers, using an inherited squad. Strachan's not really done anything brilliant himself at Celtic. can't see him winning the title in 2008, can't see him in charge in 2009.

I could be repeating myself, but Smith has worked wonders at Ibrox, as you say with a piss poor Rangers team he inherited, I can imagine when he gets the money to buy talented players, Celtic will be in deep doodoo, well more than they are now!

strachan might be doing poorly but the title swaps hans every three to four seasons anyway so if your paitent enough celtic will be winning it in two years as you both seem to dominate the league but one team can't seem to gain an advantage like man u had in the prem.

Well thats not exactly true both teams won the league nine times in a row, my concern for Celtic is,. Strachan WONT win the league at anytime against Smith.
