I’m feeling really good. Feeling good. We’ve had a great, really, really good pre-season. The players are shaping up very well, working very hard. There’s real spirit and solidarity here in the team.
Celtic’s policy of outright hostility towards the Green Brigade and lack of communication with Celtic fans in general cannot continue.
Some of them have to drop their ego. I will look at us tactically and accept my responsibility in it, but today, it’s not really tactical, it’s a mentality problem.
