"Nothing will change until everything changes." Peter Martin, Stephen McGowan and Gordon Parks on whether Derek McInnes should feel any guilt about leaving Hearts for Rangers, players, managers and money (Kieran Tierney, Ally McCoist, Mo Johnston and Figo), and where Scottish football will be in 10 years: "academy football has destroyed Scottish football", Craig Mulholland's under-21 proposals, the UEFA coefficient, the size of the league, the TV deal, DAZN and the BBC's cuts. Then Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or, Willie Collum, referees and VAR, the managers under pressure at Hibs, Aberdeen and Motherwell, a year since Brendan Rodgers left Celtic, and the Celtic AGM.
Peter Martin believes all supporter groups at Celtic will have to show restraint and have a clear line of questioning in an orderly manner at the AGM to have any hope of getting answers from the Celtic board. Stephen McGowan disputes whether anything will change until everything changes at Celtic. Gordon Parks has warned that changes in the pathway for Scottish players to first-team football and the structure of Scottish football must change, or there are dark times ahead. Refereeing standards also come under the spotlight once again!
Will anything change at Celtic until the ownership does? Tell us below.
