To get some of the youngsters a chance government out of the team as yet even if they give them a chance a very very formidable especially at home and they'll be absolutely flying after in midweek but this isn't about Johnson Celtic to be as a. Suggested beaten up but what's been able to beat them for a long long time said Austin Johnston Exactly yeah exactly 21 victory away but John said I thought I fix a then they'll come here the style I spoke to told me this morning so I'm not lie deal of what is trying to do but actually doing and that actually I've seen and actually doing is 2 different things Celtic are but I like to think of coming and going fast but also going to remember the part you guys Armstrong not been playing for a number 2 weeks you know McGregor will be disappointed not going to and national squad but he's fallen for Celtic's been perfect so all over the park wherever you go or Celtic are what much when I was a real top football players so evil to tell us what Thomas Hoving to do this afternoon not concede goals when the game. Was a masterful. Stephen Thompson born are also there if you get the. News confirms as yet but whoever. I'm guessing you'll feel like they probably have the tools to win the game yeah I think so and I think it will make some changes at the back and I believe young maybe Rolston is coming in in the right back and he's going to leave young Christopher. Michael Vick moving in there to give a little bit more stability and the center back position again Beaton's of course is going to play in a position from a seller point of view but they have the players not forward positions there's no question from midfield up I don't know you know the other night that Wednesday night defensively d. Got about a lot not 2nd how that 20 minute spell but today is will be about so much the defending side it'll be all about the type to say they'll have plenty of possession and when you have players have a little chat more the moment because they're all just now live with. Many congratulations for qualification for that group stage of the champions the very exciting draw of course is taking up so much attention this week but of course we're back you know the atmosphere in Celtic at the moment with such excitement on the horizon with these matches against by Munich and Aleck coming up and all of the going well in the league how we do some of them. You know it's an exciting time around a really positive cycle over the last 12 months or so the players never get their way through exceptionally well a difficult qualification for years. And we find ourselves in a really exciting driven looking forward to the. Next 6 months and in the Champions League whoever the remainder is that this is our bread and butter this is. Where you're in the right to have the chance to qualify and today's game and we want to conclude what has been a busy pre-season for as. You know another victory but we respect that it's going to be tough against on the team because they're always very resolute and at times hard to break down course the international break coming up I think many people might have expected you to maybe mix the pack a little more to be gone just for 2 changes from the sign that came back from a stand midweek what you think in their brain in continuity. Better both really we played on the Tuesday. So we've had that sort of extra days recovery on the Wednesday and then we can propose Thursday Friday and arrive into today and I think that the players are good condition so it's important to keep the flow I think you know but but at the same tame give another opportunity to young Anthony Ralston to play played last year I was in the series against and Johnson did very very well. On Michael O'Hanlon screenplay and off the low side for them and doing very well but Tony's a very very good defender next quake so you can they can deal with that. And yes so it's and keep in the sort of balance elsewhere and so to get an arm I'm happy to magick and then to start I've got midfield players that I that I trust that I just read a teacher game to see what I look for in the game and then just try to find the right combination that can get a result you trust and if you don't you made a point yesterday where the criticism and say we are due in terms of that he's still in St They obviously and it was it gives you the flexibility as well doesn't it because you could with this lineup over about 40 wish about 3 maybe you could enlighten us as. Well as where you earn your money your armor that you are going to be part owners job if they are able Heikki alone so you know I just felt we really haven't a step and we were suffering defensively I think it's pretty clear to see that our we had our 3 sort of 1st choice center halfs you know. Injured and to them over for most of the campaign and. As Rick and and Alex featuring go Joe's or we see a mess in the last game so I was asking our midfield player to step in there and play and what he did was a step then with any you know any problem and our idea over the course of the company and when we were missing these defend this was that we knew that we would have to defend. Maybe in a different way and that was with the football so in order to defend with the ball then you need to have players that are technically very competent and of course sometimes you know when when they stand a 3 big risk into the game and of course you can be left short a little bit time but I was at the confidence that we could get through the fears and and there beat on the spot light was on him and unfairly so I thought so because I thought you know we don't absolutely fantastic over the course of the game as far as yeah we hope that come you know the end of the international break we'll get some other defenders in to support him but he's proved to be a very important member of us what is the central defense again from today. You will get out and our party will look at last give it back to go but then it seems to go on and obviously it seems to be err going on both ways to get over the line how close are. Well I haven't spoken to Peter for a few days I think it's all gone it's just one of those situations that as long as it's done. Can be done if possible and by the end of the by the end of a close a window next week then that then I'll be happy we want to 2 options of course 2 to look up with. The negotiations are ongoing that's between the clubs. And like I say I'm hopeful that we can get something sort of next week and I want to just about an update on this in the belly is there a chance he will be been time for the 1st Champions League match against police and your man Pelley unlikely highly unlikely. You'd be welcome very hard in these rehabilitation he'll come back again. After the international break. But he's going to be in the position to be available for the game I've got a we think is going on. There is some period in September he'll be ready. But we have to be it will have to be careful on this one here because. You know he's had to get into sort of straying away or done the. The Rangers came and 100 and then of course resigned on tours in the train and so is a young player so we just have to be mindful of that and especially when you're that you have that explosion of speed and then of course it can. Something you have to try to protect so so we just have to get fit and strong is working hard and and like you say well except when he's really just finally bends and Johnson of course the last site domestically to beat Celtic before your time of course of course Michael Howard supposed acquirements it seems there is. A man who's been in great form so far this season and Amanda I'm expecting your thing is going to be a danger to the. Yeah it is one that I haven't really seen him play a lot since I've been up here Michael I know that it was done so for a little bit and. You never really never really seem to get the chance to Rangers It's obviously gone away and enjoying his football clearly enjoys playing for Tommy which is important for any player you need to have that relationship with a manager that can give you confidence so he's obviously going away there and from the images in the games I've watched and seen the he's been a real threat you know so. That score 7 goals he scored for them and he can be a danger so but we hope you know our team is set up to look to control but there's no doubt he's done very well the minimum part since he's won there then and thanks very much good luck getting a good year in the Rodgers they're talking at length ahead of the game with Jonathan southern just just a quick thought in Stephen Thompson just just on that the near beat on the situation there didn't seem quite the people work yet criticize him I think everyone absolutely accepted that the circumstances understood the circumstances but you guys still have to analyze the performance of the player don't you yeah we absolutely have to actually think he has done well in the one game it did get a back as a man was the Partick Thistle game and he's managed to impress and slow internet year Barry Wales Celtic don't actually have to do that much defendant I mean I think their standard game there's probably as been alluded to the Most have had to defend and recent team is generally they've got the boy talk to be defending with the ball keeping the ball so the other team don't get an opportunity to defend you know to attack you and he has done well because it's not as natural possession and he has a valued member of his squad but there's no doubt sale tick need to strengthen and I think Brendan said it is where we need to strengthen and not you know if they're going to be can going to the Champions League with a scene after him to be torn and wish to go you know it's just not strong enough right we'll talk more about that we'll talk about the top of the table Clive Small Talk about Michael Holland there's plenty to. Talk about between now and 3 o'clock will be a no brainer on the grounds we'll get the team news and of course we'll bring you further interviews as well though Stephen mentioning there the Champions League want to make citing a prospect that he's for the Scottish champions. The sent the Sir Sam Baker It seems. To me it will be still said they will find in group b. C I am not that essentially an underling. So a lot to look forward to for Celtic those games against buying me a p.s.g. Amanda like Willie Miller is in the studio with me for this 1st part of the program going to be doing the sports scene Results program but your suit with your family and of just. Yeah I think you're really a club or on just. About cost more than my weekly that's for sure so the draw I mean it's huge when you're going to be almost certainly was going to be I mean the names of European football Well absolutely and I think you know this is where Celtic want to be and you know it's another tough. Section that draw in and be really difficult to qualify again and even you know the thought of sport may be difficult as well. Play in you know a better high level you know I give you Stephen they've got to get the defense out of the before they go into and try to mix with competition late this year that's for sure but you know you want to be at the top one if you want to be a top table and you want to play against the best don't you I'm sure Brendan Rodgers is looking forward to I'm sure the players are all looking forward to the fans will love it as well you know the huge names coming to Celtic Park and then you know Brendan Rodgers having a shelf against top quality managers Israel tactically. You know looking back to when are played then he just wanted these big clubs you know that's what you love for as a player deal live to put yourself against the top. Clubs in Europe and even when I was there at that were drawn by a Munich Jimmy would know and I'm saying Jimmy Jimmy Calderwood Jimmy you've got to embrace that you can go and actually compete and they don't compete. Not so much away from home but that is what football is about if you want to be a professional footballer you want to play the top level necessarily is the top level that they're going to have to play against I mean Tom English if you look at some of the groups there were certainly groups a. Given Celtic a better chance of getting through to the last 16 but is this in some ways I mean almost a perfect mix you've got the glamour and p.s.g. In terms of their current standings and the like where are a great team. In a relatively recent seasons I suppose but they would be a team no the South would look at and think yeah we can finish up of them. They might but they have a. President elect are a very good side of them in their own right I think I mean they're not that level of barn and. A team with which Celtic would hope to compete on the up Absolutely but I think since the draw was made I think a lot of people have kind of got a little bit carried away with the fact that you know I do like to Celtic should be beating them under like to have a much better record in Europe in recent seasons than Celtic and that beat the sides of the caliber of Monaco Zana spurs of the year old the league in the last couple of seasons they knocked out the quarterfinals last season by man united after extra time yeah so you know I know they know they've lost a couple of players from their squads up from the team since then but there they'll be they'll be there but I would imagine they'll be like at the back level that type of level a peaceable side but said it would want to be all that they can be to beat the I think it's a fantastic draw for Celtic it's such glamour in the group there is a possibility of a 3rd place for sure if Celtic are at their straps and play really really well and it's an ongoing this whole p.s.g. All the talk of Killian I'm going to p.s.g. 150160 1000000 this morning more more rumors that he's Monaco teammate for be Neil the midfielder is going to go to to p.s.g. For $50000000.00 it's it's it's you know it's eye watering numbers also there's a spin off for that within the subject is the group that if those transfers do take place that Monaco be now linked with the. Under next star midfielder So if they take him away from London next that's a plus one. What random number you climbed to him and I think I think I've read is about 30 to 40000000 for him Snit so you know all of the all of this narrative this is fascinating and it's at the highest level it's I watering numbers and Celtic are in and are in with the big the big boys I mean you know I do like they sold to the midfielder to Monaco last last in the summer for for 25000000 euros you know these these these this is big time real big time pioneer and also I don't sorry just to add to further to the speculation in France today suggesting you know what we're speculating 3 or 4 transferred here now but that they're saying that if if. Monocle do lose a. Do they then make a play for most of the ballot because they have gone on record as saying that they're big fan of most of the fans are top English has just flown in from Paris with the morons under his arm for how much on the team itself it's all right I just do a bit of research I know I know it's not to be advised. That I don't watch it isn't listening I really hope you know this. But you know what I mean it yes I think it's so exciting I mean even if some are none of those transfers work out it's still very glamorous. But when you want in Real Madrid Yes I gutted that getting Byron p.s.t.n. Underlaying delighted that it got those those teams and one exciting and Thomas described all the players and everybody Emma going back over them but they're all the stars there but and I agree with Wally you know if you're a if you're a player you want to pictures of against these type of players and you know if Celtic do get a chance to go before especially here and I've been reading all sort of players talking about coming here and anybody what are salty talk about European people coming to Celtic Park he noted this year and said yes on those type of nights it's incredible things that live with you for the rest of riskier days and as a player you know what the games are we were. Remember we remember the big teams to big nights we don't remember too much of but no disrespect to the Albanians and heaven teams coming here the old as we remember i.x. Coming here we remember Real Madrid we talk about them we have we played against them we'll talk about it in our books in the courts whatever whatever it is in the future and that's what if you can pick. And you know how we want to play but I didn't do it when I went down but it was a cellar released a few years ago I think but what about that's Dutch which we build our our our history about and players and and so on and you know it and the other thing about it is that you know Thomas just rattled off all the big numbers there you know all the big money that the silly players go and perform simply their value is suddenly gone up a bit too and you can go up if it means performing as yes I guess and that's that's a target and that's the challenge for them all to go and perform and say that this is a decent selling team you know we've been we've been wondering how Celtic was going to do in this Champions League now against us down are we we were a bit I was a little bit perplexed I said that to you because I expected them to do much better on that up to the pressure and and they got fined a little bit for 20 minutes but it got true now they're against the big boys and that's where you want to be now we'll see how decent How far is this Celtic team come how far some of these players that we talk about a week in week out that are good players and moved on to deflower now we will see the level and that's what it's all about I mean yeah I mean can you imagine if Celtic 1st up. Imagine it be p.s.g. Legend magic touch it but it's American that they beat p.s.g. I think I think p.s.g. Will be almost like a cartoon baddie in the Champions League this season but the money that they've spent now everybody is spending but I think it leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth and in European football that they spent nearly 200000000 on Neymar and if they're going to spend another 130140150 1000000 on him back pay they would have the 2 most expensive players in football history and football the way. It is you'd want a team like that to fail you want to fall on their face but whatever you're doing whatever you feel about them you're going to be you're going to be fascinated by them in the eyes of European football beyond p.s.g. And as and by extension the eyes of the for of European football results out of it the pressure comes in with the big time players it will take a bit too much pressure but it will be a typical type of pressure sell a good one delusion to go and perform to play get a crowd behind him and this up a spirit will be a bit be wonderful nights for everybody concerned and that's what you want when you get the champions they just want you work hard all year just why when you come out against said Johnson to Thurso's not you're under pressure to one games or one leagues to get to that chance and qualification is as really difficult no matter who you play against qualification but when you get there go and enjoy it and don't let a moment's pause pass by you there you go that's what'll happen you know Kiran charity will play a blinder against the s.g. 11 Neymar and a back to his pocket and a Christmas be a 100000000 euro offer a particular need from Paris and. They kick off steam against p.s.g. Just over a couple weeks to Celtic Park I mean that is going to be up and phenomenal I mean we knew the atmosphere itself apart anyway fooleries Champions League night brought to kick off against this collection of global superstars course that all these millions and millions of euros I mean you've got to hope that those that players will be in that sort of thing yeah this is this is what I want absolutely it will be and the boys of touch the money and here at Celtic Park the record and European football is phenomenal and a very special occasions when you play in and you take into the big states here and I think that has a certain intimidation you know the teams don't enjoy coming to be enjoyed out this year certainly but you know you know when the fans are singing and through voice it's not an easy place to come and play when you're not in a pleasure and I think that's largely part of our success as the supporters here. On European nights the away form is something that they have to rectify because as good as their home farm is that away form is equally as bad and after after trying to scrape are even finished out then they have to make sure that they try and pick up some points on the road and I think that's going to be something that obviously Brendan overlooking to do as part of his progress is continually trying to make the team progress and and and reach new heights and that would be something I think would be great progress I think it and threw it away far and to get into you know after Christmas as the him. And I do think that you have a squad capable of getting better the fundamental I don't think it will be to be really interesting to see how Brendon approaches. Playing these teams you know asked that he has to change a little but he has to change probably quite a better way for a moment to each time you change at home as yeah you know yeah I think you've got to approach this have you approach it the way that Celtic play normally against the big boys I think if Europe can open you could be cut open and I think he will have to come up with something else so how do you do that when every week you're going out to play and you play a certain way and they suddenly have to change on on on on when 0 choose a night to go and play games and your other teams against the team are flexible defensively Those are big the big issue is the massive issue whether or not you know some of it she's on the bench today and would like to simply think that he would be that he's the best center half and whether or not they bring in as a coach see the they're looking. To bring and center half as well if you make it I mean in the window right we'll move on from the Champion's League but of course we'll be live with Celtic right the way through their rock campaign p.s.g. Celtic and and the like in group b. It all kicks off on the 12th of September with Celtic and p.s.g. About Munich againstand to link them so that they are away to the Belgian champions then they've got the double header with in the middle of it all exciting times ahead it'll be all libelous here in sports and on b.b.c. . It is going down in England Man City of discord in the 6 minutes of stoppage time they're going to come from behind and when that seems to be one way to board with a lead early on if you haven't seen Charlie Daniels go watch out for it tonight on much of the day an absolutely stunning strike I'm going left foot shot right across and into the top corner of the net and I'm just a stunning stunning strike at least national t.v. Special and indeed it was obviously watching the legend that is Stevie May last week but it seems that Man City are going to win that one as for the famous ship this afternoon will be happening shortly get the team news ahead of this like an stabbing that would be a big part of it no Mike's come on it Hamilton and of course the top of the table clash Celtic Park where St Johnstone one of us stars. Sports so. I. I don't imagine it's a huge surprise to many that such 3 wins out of 3 for Celtic at the start of the campaign no $52.00 domestic games unbeaten might be more of a surprise that sin Jones than they are fighting record as well only off the top of the table by a single goal in terms of gold a friend said Let's find out the team news ahead of that game from Jonathan thanks Richard yes just 2 changes to the Celtic team that played out in a stunner enemies of Christopher and Callum the Greg are drawn to the banks and in their places come from mortgage and Anthony Ralston's the Celtic will go with this line up Brendan Rodgers of course quite clearly about the formation he thinks the pundits shouldn't have gone but all of a stab at that shell like big Gordon goals at right by Anthony Ross the name possibly a central defensive pairing of make a listing near be done given to me at left back then a midfield chambre and we've got for us to sink lower and Griffiths up front on the bench for Celtic boss to be chairman of h. Armstrong Callum and Greg Jonny hazing condign Ben you and as for the sin Johnson thing about Thomas will come a short time ago we'll hear from a very short these off the rail issuing today's occasion just one change to the single Johnston line up as the staff and school will drop to the bench and out and call me coming in I think at white bank suits and just go with minus in goals at the pains of comedy Anderson shock to see. And Easton in midfield Richard Foster looks like he might be pushed up along with money Davidson Paul Peyton Waller spoon and a holiday as well Steve MacLean also there in the starting $11.00 on the bench down there Clark the backup keep elsewhere discount times are Danny Johnston who's just signed former Celtic you play it of course 7 school goalie and Craig at Alexander Gilchrist Graeme Cummins the magic referee today units is will he call and try to get all eyes will be on for Mr Johnson point of view Michael Holland We'll talk about that in just a moment to let you know what Tommy Wright had to say to Donovan just a few moments ago Well Tony just the one change in a season I don't call me come into the say with 7 school drop to the paint shop I'm guessing you've got of a plan then that I can say with Richard Foster perhaps as well doubling up yeah I think they're about to let this be for selling a stroll over the park but I think with Tierney Bowman all you'll go nuts say and Sinclair pay and. We try to buy them if it's a good option for us to hopefully help us deal with your going nuts say. About 3 no qualms opinio r. And b. . They played last year he can bowl for Richard against. Off every 3 minutes and. You know we eat really good one on one defender probably our best. Defender that we've got in the club and you know he's a good game and enjoys his day which is always filled to make it and we were very happy with my good friend Stephen Thompson as part of the commentary team here today is see they saying this in Johnson had no chance either Celtic Park today but feeling you don't share that Tommy In fact I'm sure he said on Thursday night No I mean. What they've done over the last. 16 months has been incredible to be on beating for so many years. And it is but somebody is going to get results from is going to go well and you know I thought last year we did protect we were. Well against him. I think we can cause him problems I think we're the a team that you know if any team is going to cause an upset I think we're well equipped to do it and I've told fifa the players to go out and perform and. And make it as difficult for Celtic what you've got to do but that's the one thing we've got try and do is get control of the ball and and possible will today how important will Michael Holland be for you today he's been in stunning form at the start of the season he's been an incredible form and he will be important for us because if we can get him on the ball I mean he causes defenders problems teams will tend to back off them a little bit and not get just beyond the goal is just 3 am behaving deal going to say show. You know I'm a game and. You know we have to try and get you know make a law on the ball as high on the pitch as possible because you know when he gets and this certain areas of the pitch people don't really want to do want to talk let me say he's so good and been so good for me you know since he's come out given the comments from the Rangers manager do you think there's a chance you could have him beyond January. What comments federal Sr was saying that he doesn't think Michael Holland has what it takes to be a Rangers player or did it all right. About your I can only judge make it was why I know well from. P.s. . Biggest pos people stretches teams. He gets assessed schools schools. Off the pitch and on the pitch great professional on the pitch and off the pitch. He's playing big games he's Scottish Cup winner. And if we can keep the on January the about Shirley Bergen for us he's done so we'll be told me it's in Johnson I mean it begs the question why do you think he didn't do well in Rangers when he played a position. To be fair I think. Bill Shorten players respond to you know either Molly and. I'm very close to make in terms of the relationship I have with a very close to all my players I think that's important. So. There's been a huge turn around. You know Rangers and players and what I do my leisure comes and . Obviously he wanted to make wholesale change Bedr or not so it's entailed to a make a was you know one of the victims are. Going thank you very much good luck today just like you interesting I mean I didn't hear those coming together the Saints Well he was very respectful told me right perhaps on light because we can just kind of yeah you know I think it's a manager you're going to watch for us in the individual players. You know and I think in this occasion we'll make a holler and it's doing extremely well you can all be so understand the questions come and. I think you just try to teach your dog to pulsate when your parents if you absolutely 100 Pa say you know very to I just don't think I should but I don't you know the question the answer that well I exactly but. You know if you say that there's a way to hide and they have that they could do it was if there is a point soit is that I thought it was performance but I think the meat of it even those that to you but it was real saying about individual players in my opinion you know how do you know manager you can't go and see that. Paladin is not a good enough player for the range of the many sites I keep for another couple years and by your actions he's anyway because he's letting a player go but the player then goes out and makes a fist of it and proves the manager wrong surely him but he's done take him back and and use I'm sure it's not exactly why I paid Rick she knew me the comments he did though because in some ways he may be being embarrassed by the fact that players he's let go have been performing hollow and clearly has the most high profile if you like because we're seeing and we can we carry that he's trying to deflect from the fight these let him go he's going to be able. Of the of the my opinion I think f. F. F. It I should manager and you're looking up. Another club and doing extremely well then you've got to see about my decision at the time you know I didn't think he was ready perhaps but you make bread in the future I think as a manager you've got to watch we are seeing about individual players because. I mean Les said told me that as well I think it does better to other managers when seniors come in and talk about it just remember enough talking about this before these money just came in on your game and they open up most know what comes out and then they leave what game. Manager to come in and take a little but I tell him just to set a lengthy understand mentality with any school and embrace the game only it's not. A comment this time Ted said that hasn't really made sense and you know if I were him I'd be keeping my Paradine tell actually had a reasonable amount of success he's not done not yet and you know how and stuff for me was ridiculous and make a lot of my job opportunity to walk out mean Jewel's but I definitely enjoyed monitoring and yeah I understood to mean that your you hit the nail on the head there Richard I think this is purely a reaction to the flak that he's been getting for letting the Qaida Waghorn and Dan Ogola and all of a sudden these guys start scoring goals I think it betrays a sensitivity and a kind of an insecurity you know I mean to be fair there's no one who wouldn't of late July Gardner go given sure what he would like season and there's no crap something that I think is unfair to Chris I caution you about that but the others you certainly can look at it does it not beg the question of what tape is his play or what won't get a profile if he wanted to play one when you listen to the way that Tommy adamantly generate a profile of make a holler about this paper is their truth there are 2 things there are 2 things in this plan there are 2 things 1st 1st of all is the comments that he made it was you know whether he was right or wrong to make that what he was accurate or not to make but 2nd secondly the one I can't get my head around is why did he make the what everything the Kenya says it's a it's has to be surely for the betterment of. Rangers. And if a comment if he makes a comment that is not for the better part of raiders Why is he making it what what was the upside for pushing to to have. Just one of his own play to criticize one of his players and what possible upside was there but it did I just see I see all the negatives that has no effect for the club I just felt it was not safe for him if you could if he could deflect from the criticism but if I thought if he thought that that was going to work in the environment that he is in that he doesn't understand the environment it is it. Sure not as I know you probably always meet the player is contradicted on because a player has actually proven that is a good player you know he's going to perform and he's just performing a different club under a different manager so I think he was taught that on his you know to actually call methe field a manager at that level you go it's a step back Back question or Tom wouldn't like anybody said step a question like that because it gives you something to talk about but as a manager through got to be shrewd enough they say step back and you're right you're told you're dead is nothing for him and I'm stunned they're offering sort of angels How do you know I mean you're right I mean I want all managers to be to be as honest to give us as many stories as possible but that's not their function the function isn't to feed us reduce their function is to to keep even keel and stop stories like this company now you going was brought in by Mark Walberg need a bit of a chance there not too much and they didn't get any real opportunity and the senior from what I recall last season but told me right don't be a debate knowing the player having got to know the character of both in terms of him as a human being and as a football player and he talked about the relationship that he's forged with the players over the time what with him is that you really don't know why it's working for Michael Howard and damaged part but didn't I think it works for both I think it really suits both parties I think Make it was very comfortable with a sad ending is where it is to me especially with the manager and but I think Tony deserves credit as well you know because he's obviously as mine manager of a player and as such a. She's been very very cute this whale is full of confidence and he feels happy and home and when you few hearty and relaxed and confident and you hear managers believe in you as a player Believe me it was an awful awful awful long week and he's just got company just no I mean if a fallen isn't good enough for Rangers then you've got to wonder about 10 a barrier and Day us. Heap of others are they good enough for Rangers Well I did it because the sport certainly is we'll find a I guess over the next few weeks or so a big top of the table clash today sounds like again said Jones and can Michael Holland score enough for successive Premiership match at the start of the season will Celtic extend their long domestic unbeaten run you'll find out is the live game and he will meet away from fear to be a big part of open all mikes and 922958 famous well Motherwell against Hearts John Daly still in charge of the visitors he's been chatting with Martin that in turn himself a lot of uncertainty around the job will fall off the minute but in terms of results and all we can very good. Confidence about is one of moment getting the players in a good place at the minute for us to come in here on the back of 2 clean sheets which is as of the hopeful that we can put in the form of star power and straight points there for you specifically what can we have told in the past with happiness and terms of organization and a sense I'm getting that maybe it's about more togetherness in the squad as well as that something to get better at least addressing the I think you know we need the players. To have the same enjoyment about China and I think you know we 1st and foremost if we've used every simplified everything of it and we make the players go back to basics when times are Ok And then after Bell work so we know on the ball we can do a lot better we've got the president to knock and don't hold oppositions I'm just trying to get the balance of right they'll throw at them and I think the last couple of games we've probably not biased. Well as we would have liked to ma'am but that being said we've kept to keep sheets and the cross out for reference and to talk away games which which is the train for so sure as a Sad One hopeful are you can make our 709 whatever we want them to mean so you're trying to make her difficult as that and then the sharpie to your fantasy gods do you think you just try to give the players a lift and I think that's not just myself it's $640.00 it's garlic sauce to know all about room staff and. You know when someone loses their job it's never nice and it's all and not process I think it's an important game for the club in general don't think it's important it's not it's not about me it's not go the job it's about the players get a result for the club and I think I will see if we win the game then. We've left the club in in a good place whether I get the job or I don't get the job so. No I don't think this game is as pivotal in terms of me getting the job or not going to job I think as I said it's all about weekend points on the board this time of the time and if you can do that today then we'll be extremely happy John Daly in charge once again the softer news will it be his last game or no rhyming golf and what are you anticipating from Hearts next week standing is that the budget will make an announcement possibly as early as Monday. Will be the replacement for the. For all we know interviews have taken place but on budget been leading the force showing interview team is keeping their cards pretty close to chairs but all the indications are that of course John Daly could be given the reins for a longer period of time though and Bartsch has attended training this week I'm told he was very impressed by the team approach grit and by watching them in training and certainly join us handle the team and his team in charge join him sail set and thought of the to be speaking to yesterday afternoon to Mark just one to discuss how the team had been lining up for today's game against Motherwell but also to try and establish exactly what the year long term strategy was for the club that one spoke about their statement that was released on Tuesday and this is the 3 year plan should only apply and you know the club of St goalkeeper John McLaughlin the new one year deal yes that the 18 year old agent Keenan is saying they're nothing if you're primarily the development squad but there are still hopes that signing targets can be brought in to take Arsenal before the transfer window closes on Thursday evening so all the indications are that John Daly is and pole position to be handed the job on Monday or Tuesday when on budget meet standards but Ok Allan Preston you said right at the start of this whole thing that you anticipated it would be John Daly who would be replacing him Catherine is that still a center getting. Alan's thinking very hard about that either you with Alan 1000000 or reasons that the Celtics and just against I think his thoughts and a moment or 2 really look it's only been a few games and going to be some John himself admitted the performances maybe not been great the last couple of games but a couple of things sheets and 4 points from 2 top I way games is John Daly doing enough for you to be given that chance Well you know I think it fits a profile and I said you know we had by winning through it left the club as the you know Craig Levine and you know they seem to have gone quiet and. Glavine and barges no kind of us be ahead in the appointment but legal view is in charge of the football department so he's got to if he's going to be then he's got to play a major role in appointing a new coach. If you go and try to appoint an experience manager then a lot of managers would want to walk under. A director of football so he has his blueprint of this blueprint and then no talk of a 3 year plan now do you just you know have a plan because the last course didn't work and in Katherine you do one thing and I said that rate that is that I think it's going to be a young coach not an experienced manager a young coach to go for so if they do go for John Bailey then I wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised that they did in terms of the performances I think all he's done as he has made the game simple he's made it. Through and it was anything but it was negative. To go in Cathro eventually that you know John as good as gone and I said No I don't and it's competitive you know they want to be funny at the Buy They want to be defended when they get it they keep it simple but more importantly the Fos thought is to play the ball forward and it's got results if it gets the job then I wouldn't be surprised that it is going to be a success or not I don't know because it's a very very young coach and the Canes of American in Cathal obviously more high profile in terms of these. But it's still a young coach and you know taking a chance around Preston I give you the big build up there that you had said you felt right from the start it would be John Daly is that the announcement you're anticipating next week as well yes as a job. I thought John was a full possession I still don't thank you very for the job but he's given the chance like gold Hearts fans you want to be a success and every hot final get behind. I just think it's too early for I'm I think it's the same scenario as young cats albeit Jordan that have a football background which is the difference. Even last week that going on about every manager does not want to tell you what they're not going to come on to sell tape a new Leno's amount of the players on but your power line and done it when you took over from talking about them out of the players on the fact they did not list and by to be asked not to even counsel clubs they were of course sports scientists but as instructors in the hallway the g.p.s. And Bess is well there's also for all to see is just that she has a cheek japes in the personnel file but I don't deal a guess on budge as sticking to the plan as she said she was a Thank you Faith that's my opinion and I pay my money different vision is always there we have our own tale to my opinion opinion has about the late double experience managing to help but I don't think we're going to get one I don't know be Steven plays the pole hotly because the only jobs and if it wanted them to be then placed by you know so I think John Daly as the man in the figure of his own today will surely get to f. You don't got to be there what did he do because the Canyon Ranch on Monday that he's getting to the end of the season that's the problem going to be fascinating it is Motherwell. Model of course themselves looking to pick up the scent to start to move the table they both Stephen Robinson with his pretty much the Steve in the game here are great pets for you I was just you cannot and money is one of the best ones you know but it is a pull in the double saving is that going to help you in the course of the season the quality of the stuff you see in terms of just a little trying to implement I think will happen last year was people enjoy coming here you know it was a beautiful pitch I mean it's very welcome So what he's trying to do is trying to end the place for the not enjoying coming so you know we try to make a simple competitive we've got players they can play on there as well you know until that day the surface justice or so you've been very very busy in this transfer market where are you in terms of the process you happy to school that you want to look at as a mole to come I don't think you're ever happy as a manager or you're always looking in prison you know right where capacity business probably. You know taking people on the top before we can do any more business but you know we're actively looking it up that we're prepared for things and you know if we can if we can do that more business before then the winner will try to do so if you change a thing for today maybe a signal of the options you know. Yes I think it is you know with boys you come in last week you know Russell sorry Well you're very well I thought around Boman deserves a chance to start a climate she comes back from suspension but I think you know where we're starting . More options in we when we want people fighting for peace there's no guarantees and I think the main Sunni of maybe thing could be a formation if you things were already this season is something that you know actively we can to do in terms of options on the part was maybe a signal of trying to at the school to get the right balance of movement no not at all I think it's things I mean our systems and that's more than we know what we're doing we know exactly what we're trying to do in every system and our our foreplay and what we're trying to do doesn't change whatever we do you know so I think it's more a talking point studios and as anywhere else our boys are clear what we want from them and I think it's a credit to them that we can switch stuff around because what's that for free trade for for everyone see without any great disturbance to anything we don't know from games coming up we go to break it up is go to the bank when they get into that give you a bit more positive thinking forward Yeah definitely you know I think people actually forgot we've won 600 have lost the 1st leg which obviously was highlighted but we've had a decent run we've had a good start and this was just cement a really good start so it's very important to try and get 3 points not just those 2 lead defeats rolled through the League Cup Group and of course. We'll be playing Aberdeen in the next round all of it for a Cup What about the team news for the south and then Derek Ferguson. Go to 3 to do that it's full of changes from a little. Comes and goes for good office you. Come and pick it up on a ton up on the shelf because then go over the budget it's 3 of kept 3 Hey they can but 5 of teet. Rules on the year I don't talk to with both on who've been on the bench. We could have 1st but them on a couple of clean and turn up for hot steamy 2 changes but on then and. Really get it to the bench with Galen and Stockton coming saw us looks is either going to go for $41.00 humble to go get a lot sit up and Smyth but you would have Cody. Lafferty. Walk at all just please not supporting Scott to run for the paint for houses because. Kody Brown did and. That if city here that far apart is George Beaton president Ferguson to look after that one for his mother while I guess how far as well of course Partick Thistle against Aberdeen there the Dons are flying high with food points from their 3 matches but a very different story for Partick Thistle I'm their manager Alan Archibald Allan m . M I guess that maybe an in-form of them say doesn't necessarily the visitors you want me are looking for your 1st point in the season. For sure when or how good they are all the strains but when the home say to do and we're talking about prospects he said. Just want to get it through the previous visit here that was the last game last season wasn't a mushrooming that you will you would stand for a similar performance of your city today no sealing or in the going to do that game with name players include knockout in the goalkeeper so I think it was false not to . Notice because you suppose they've got a really strong squad to infeasible team trying to fix and you made quite a number of changes think 5 from the last team much of that is forced upon you know much as it you know you're trying to get a reaction from perhaps last week what couple in 4th goals a calendar with the engines enjoying Tomales is no bubble with me it's one thing to fix a Korean talking line up and hopefully we don't all think it's cool goes in to the species being woman home saving many changes at home of trying to do a weekly if we are still we mean poise of his disappointment of actually they go on Archibald's clearly looking for an upturn in.
