Yes, that was a Simpsons reference and my deepest respect to you if you got that one from the headline.
If rumours are to be believed, and we’ll believe them because Celtic don’t give you any other option, in ten days time, Edward Howe will be unveiled as our new manager.
The rumour is backed up as soon as the words ‘London Stock Exchange’ are mentioned within the phrasing.
It’s dragged on and played out as badly as Line of Duty’s last few episodes and nonsensical storylines though. Actually, it’s worse, because Jed Mercurio and his team of fantasy scribes came up with a dire and embarrassing conclusion to a plot of interest within a few weeks.
It feels like this is getting to ‘It’s been 84 years’ Titanic levels with this managerial announcement.
Whenever it’s announced, it’s going to feel more like relief and an end to the exhaustion instead of joy and elation, but that’s what Celtic do to people - certainly this season.
Eight days to go until this season is over, let’s enjoy another weekend, after all, we aren’t playing!
