Things certainly had gone a bit stale, but Brendan is a man who has been over the course and distance so many times, and I’ve no doubt that he would have rallied the troops so to speak. Celtic would have been in a much better position than we are just now, that’s for sure.

We would also have been exempt from witnessing the turbulent and disastrous Wilfried Nancy era, and anyone connected to the club would do anything to re-write that chapter in our history, that’s a given. Yes we got Martin O’Neill – twice – and he’s been truly wonderful on both occasions.
