"I genuinely thought Martin was going to walk." GamesMaster legend Dominik Diamond on the madness at Celtic, and how a Rangers-supporting boy from Arbroath became Celtic daft.
Dominik tells Peter Martin on Straight Talk why Celtic can lose all four big games, two in Europe and two against Rangers, and still sit top of the league. He says Kasper is being played as a Chris Sutton target man when he scores from balls whipped in from the flanks, asks whether Martin O'Neill is really in charge, and says "the people who run the club are just vile". Plus why Dermot Desmond can't be moved, why the banter years have been "brilliant for the rest of Scottish football", and what O'Neill deserves when he goes.
Then the memories: Romano Petrucci of Stranraer turning him Celtic, the last day against Hearts watched from Canada, the ticket gamble at Seville 2003, naming his son Charlie Henrik after Henrik Larsson, and the priest who saved his night at the Nou Camp.
