Celtic fans are refusing to buy any of club's merchandise

... they're not buying their excuses either

- 

AT the end of the club statement announcing Peter Lawwell's imminent departure as chairman, principal shareholder Dermot Desmond was quoted as saying: "Celtic is in a strong position to withstand whatever the future may throw at us.

You could have fooled me.

Strong position?

Johnny Kenny was humiliated at Tannadice in midweek - palpably out of his depth up front for Celtic and proving that was the case by missing sitter after sitter.

He is not even a Premiership player, far less a Celtic player.

Kenny was then replaced by Shin Yamada, who's even worse. Travelling Rohl's side then beat Celtic on their own ground on January 3?

Search me.

When a new manager is appointed by Celtic, he walks in the footsteps of iconic figures such as Jock Stein, Billy McNeill, Martin O'Neill and Brendan Rodgers.

It is about history, tradition and heritage.
