Kilmarnock v Celtic ☘

[Cheasty]

@Cheasty

Celtic supporters want Martin O’Neill to remain as Celtic manager for the same reasons they want to attend Oasis concerts in 2025. They cannot forget how this person made them feel.

What Celtic supporters imagine is that Martin O’Neill is an all knowing, otherworldy force.

You have to allow this force proceed.

Martin O’Neill at Celtic is BIGNESS. If ever a club needed BIGNESS, it’s Celtic right now.

But at the same time, given Martin O’Neill’s age and the fact that he is not a tactics guy - he’s a “you go out and play for me and you will be guided by the force” guy, you have to create the impression that this return of the otherworldly force is non-permanent.

You have to create the impression that this force is ephemeral and under threat and is about to depart. That is what makes the force more potent.

Celtic need to proceed in short steps. This is not a time for “stability”. This is a time when you carefully channel the emotion in a particular way to make the emotion the most potent it can be.

I don’t know how the Celtic board have managed it, but they have somehow managed to channel the emotion in such a way to make it the most potent it can be.

Perhaps they are misunderstood, twisted geniuses. Probably not.

But the above is exactly what has happened.

Celtic are being guided by otherwordly forces which are no accident at all.

Four times now, and three times in a week, they’ve had to go to the well deep into injury time and they’ve done it.

The next step now is to get the Green Brigade back into Celtic Park. If that happens there is no stopping this force.
