You can't live on the hope of a television contract and play in a stadium with nobody there.

It would've cost less, and left the previous owners with nothing, to go into liquidation. But it would also be humiliating for Celtic. So we paid all the bills. Celtic means the same to me as it does to other fans. I identify with the club and wish to be proud of it.

That charity fund, inside and outside Scotland is a very important identity of Celtic Football Club.

I'm just a footnote in the grand scheme of things. Brother Walfrid was the visionary who started things and his is a name that should stay in people's minds.

You cannot change the minds of the mindless. But that doesn't mean you just admit that's the way we have to live.

When we score a sublime goal I'm as happy as anyone but you don't get to enjoy a game. You can't possibly. The game's too important to enjoy.

Being a Celtic supporter is not always easy, but it is always worthwhile.
