The best place to defend is in the opposition penalty box.

The most pleasure any manager can get is seeing everyday boys joining the Club as youngsters and growing into men and giving themselves a better social standing than they could ever have dreamed of previously.

Football without fans is nothing.

Unlike many other Celts, I cannot claim that Celtic was my first love but I can say that it will be my last love.

Ach, Rangers are alright, but they still haven’t invented blue grass.

Football is for the fans. It can be the greatest game in the world but if there are no people to watch it, it becomes nothing. The fans are the lifeblood of the game.

If I can achieve for Celtic what I have achieved for Hibs, then I feel I will have done well for them.
