Good Form continues for Celtic

Our top interviewer was speaking to the Celtic manager,Anthony Donnachie,this afternoon.

Interviewer-What is your view on your teams form at the moment
Donnachie-Very pleased.We have maintained our four point lead over Rangers,who themselves have found form and continue to snap at our heels
Interviewer-You qualified for the second round of the CL,are you excited about being amongst the Top Euro Elite?
Donnachie-Im Ecstatic,especially finishing top of our group,ahead of Man U,PSV and Gaalatasaray,who were not here to make up the numbers.We are seeded for the next round but despite who we get,it will not be easy.
Interviewer-How are you doing on the Transfer/contract front?
Donnachie-We have tied up Liam Miller on a long-term contract,which Im happy about as he is an excellent player with a great future.I still havent spoken to Henrik about staying,but he is now my no.1 priority. I have Paul Di Giacomo on his way in January,who is a pacey forward who will fit in well to my team.
Interviewer-What is your view on the defeat to Morton in the cup?
Donnachie-Im dissapointed with the lads,as we had the quality to go through,but it wasnt our night.
Interviewer-Thanks Anthony
Donnachie-Thank you

December: A time for giving?

December - A crucial month in the season, the half way point is reached, the christmas matches are always important, contracts are open for bids and of course the FA Cup third round begins just after.

Starting the month in 3rd place behind Nottm Forest and Wimbledon, Millwall were flying high, expected to only just challenge for a playoff place, Mr Monkey has brought a new era of prosperity to South London. Bringing in new players such as Caldwell, Weatherson and Namouchi, he has created a side that could gain automatic promotion to the premiership by the end of the year.

First came a match agaisnt Dez Wilkins Nottm Forest, who were 2nd one place above but ahead by more points then are worth counting. Millwall managed to win this game 2-0, but at a cost, losing the ever-present captain Dennis Wise and the new power striker of Weatherson to month long injuries.

However this didnt stop Mr Monkey and his side, introducing his tactic for the first time in the season, he managed 2 more succesive 2-0 victories. This propelled him to 2nd for a brief time, moving above Forest on Goals Scored as goal difference was equal.

The stay was short for in the next game a 2-1 win was not enough to keep GD the same, with Forst winning by 3 goals. On to the boxing day match, where a tough trip to Preston was on the cards. Things were sloppy, players were tired, but 3-1 up at half time and Millwall were looking comfortable for the win. Preston however had other ideas, breaking on the counter twice in the 2nd half produced the equalising goals, and so 3-3 was the final score of December and 2003.

Back into 3rd but in a better position then at the beginning of the month, the top 3 are pulling away from the rest and Wimbledon are 10 points clear at the top of the table. Millwall and Forest yo-yoing between 2nd and 3rd, and the rest chasing to catch up, 2004 looks to be an exciting year in Division One.

Celtic play down 'league is over' claims,despite 7 point gap

Celtic manager Anthony Donnachie blasted sections of the media who claimed the league is over.

"I admit we have a very comfortable lead at the top of the SPL,but we were shown by Rangers they wont give up.They fought back three times in the Old Firm derby,which im dissapointed with my players for not finishing the game.

There is exactly half a season left,league wise,and we were drawn,to my delight,against Marseille in the champions league.There were some harder and some easier teams we couldve got,so im happy.

Henrik Larsson is due to return in about two months time for us,which shows good reading for the future.He has already missed our previusly hectic two months,but we managed without him.

I see no reason why we cant go on to win the league from the position we are in.The chance of glory is firmly in our hands,not Rangers,so we must take the chance.They will be ready to pounce on any mistake we make,so im gonna rally round my players to finish this ASAP.
