Top Goalscorer - Tony Watt - 35 Goals

View attachment 431919

An impressive season by the young Scotsman as he smashed in the goals for us in all competitions and really cements his place as our main striker with the likes of Hooper, Boyd and so on playing second fiddle.

Player of the Year -Calum Butcher

View attachment 431918

I think the biggest thing he has done this year is make the England squad, hes yet to play for them but Mourinho picked him for a reason and thats that he is on fire at the moment, On a side note he banged in 18 goals this season! Thats good enough for most strikers!

Young Player of the Season - David Butter

View attachment 431917

An amazing first season from our Youth Intake player from last year as he grabs 12 goals in 22 games an amazing feat for such a young player.

Summer Transfer Window 2017

Season Expectations

View attachment 431802

This like last season only came up after i had spent most of my seasons budget.

Players Out

Most of the players that left were all of the youth players on loan along with Macdonald and Anya leaving on free transfers, The only big money deal out was John Fleck leaving for just under a million pounds.

Both Manchester Clubs Did Come In For David Butter Though

View attachment 431800View attachment 431799


Also Steven Fletcher Wanted Mega Money To Join On A Free Transfer

View attachment 431798

Players In

So the key 3 players were

Lukasz Fabianski - ?1.8million

View attachment 431797

I needed a new GK, Gilks has been the weak link in our side in recent seasons and the fact that Fabianski was rated twice as high as him shows how poor Scotlands GK area is as Gilks is the best of the lot, I do have 2 young Scottish GK's coming through but they need a few years yet.

Grant Hanley - ?7.5million

View attachment 431796

So i go and blow most of my transfer budget on one player but he is Scotlands current best CB and is needed with my only decent Centre Backs Souttar and Butcher needing a rest ands Souttar sometimes moving forward into a DMC role.

Matty Phillips - ?Free

View attachment 431794

A very good player to aquire on a free transfer with Stuart Armstrong refusing to sign a new deal and leaving on a free we needed cover in the wide areas and the likes of him, Gauld and Dow vying for places looks good.

Celtic Transfer History

View attachment 431788

Despite finishing a lowly 3rd last season Celtic have only gone and weakened themselves further selling key figures and not bringing many new players in.

Rangers Transfer History

View attachment 431787

As people mentioned before Rangers have taken a lot longer than i expected to adjust to the top league and dont look a force again this season.

Champions League Draw

View attachment 431759

It was nice not to have to play in 6 qualifiers just to reach this stage like has been the case in recent years but it didnt help us as we get ****** PSG again and also have a tough game against At Madrid with Dinamo surely to be the groups whipping boys.

August Fixtures

View attachment 431758

Not a bad way to start the new season and without all the qualifiers we manage to hit 5 wins in a row for the new season with Butter, Gauld and Souttar all looking sharp.

Means little at this stage but its nice to see Celtic have started stronger than in previous years im just surprised Neil

European Super Cup V Barcelona

View attachment 431729

Well it was all over early on as arguably the two best players in the world Neymar and Messi scored a minute apart from each other but after that it was a very even game as we saw out the rest of the match in a dominant performance.

No one has shone domestically for us so far but the rotation policy means everyone is not playing all the league games.​

Winter Transfer Window - January 2018

So i brought in 5 players in the winter window 2 on loan, a free transfer and 2 for a combined fee of ?2million. First off Kris Boyd had his contract terminated after falling out of favour massively in recent months.

View attachment 431070

Besides Boyd leaving 5 youngsters left on loans for the rest of the season.

So first off as we are Tottenhams Feeder club they gave us this DMC for the rest of the season no charge.

Pavel Dockal - DMC

View attachment 431069

I needed a spare striker aswell with Boyd leaving and Hooper going right out of the goalscoring picture and Watt a bit injury prone so i picked up this young Scotsman on loan from Arsenal also for no fee or wages.

Paul McMullan - ST
View attachment 431068

Manuel Thiele - DMC

View attachment 431067

DMC area has been a weak point for us in recent weeks with Bridcutt at the edge of supposed exhaustion, I was offered this guy by his agent and brought him in on a trial and he looks good, Everyone knows i like a good German regen from my Limerick FC save last year.

Matthew Kennedy - Winger

View attachment 431066

He looks a real bargain and that was the main reason i snapped him up, he had fallen out with his previous club and was available for a mere ?1.1million and is already worth 3 times that.

Graeme Ross

View attachment 431065

I feel thats 2 very different roles he can play, i would prefer him to play in midfield but im unsure, what do you guys think?

January Fixtures

View attachment 431062

4 wins from 4 this month in the league as we smash in 10 goals only concede the one goal.

League Table

View attachment 431061

22 points clear with a game in hand and we could be on course to retain the league at our earliest possible point so far, Look at the fall of Aberdeen in my first few years in charge they had some of the top goalscorers in their team but now they look destined for relegation.

Mate, never really read story before but have just read this all in one go!

First of all it's amazing to see someone taking my favourite club to the heights your achieving in such a short time - it's something I've only eveer dreamed of being able to do!
Can't wait for your next update and hope it comes soon.
Finally inspired me enough to start my own challenge so after a year of being and unemployed Sunday League I've got the hotseat at Dunfermline and hope to achieve a fraction of your success.

Best of luck!

Feb 2018 - Europa League

Europa League 1st Knockout Rnd V Everton

1st Leg - Home V Everton

View attachment 430800

Watt scores the winner with 20 minutes to go and helps put us in a strong position for the second leg.

2nd Leg - Away V Everton

View attachment 430799

My two strikers get a goal each as we dominate away from home and confirm our place in the next round of the Europa League.

I didnt get a screenshot of the draw for the next round but we draw CSKA Moscow! So we have faced them in the previous 2 years in the Europa League Finals but it will now just be a 2nd round knockout tie.​
