    Manager of the month?

    The SPL manager of the month for February must be due to be announced soon. Surely Calderwood is a shoe-in for it?

    4 games, 4 wins, 7 goals for, 2 goals against (and one of those was a penalty that the SFA decided shouldn't have been).

    Probably between him and Lennon, TBF. Celtic's results during February, weekend aside, were really good.

    Kilmarnock scored a dodgy penalty but who else scored?

    If I remember correctly, our scores in February were;

    Hibs 2-0 St Mirren
    Hibs 2-1 Kilmarnock
    St Mirren 0-1 Hibs
    Hibs 2-0 Inverness CT

    But they lost 1. If they'd have won against Well he'd probs have won it but they didn't.

    But Celtic have played 5 games in February to our 4. These included an away draw at Ibrox in the cup and a comprehensive beating of Rangers in the league. Two decent away wins at Aberdeen and Dundee Utd. ensure that, despite the loss, their results are arguably more impressive.

    Lenny should get it.

    Hope he does. IIRC the months after Mixu and Yogi were MoTM our results went right downhill.

    I'm not superstitious enough to read anything into that and given that Calderwood turned around a team that was rock bottom to win four in a row, in my book was as good as anything the ginger upstart did with a team that's equipped and meant to win every game.

    Even though Lennon and celtic have had the harder games, CC has turned a Rank underperforming team, to one that has strung together 4 wins on the trot, Celtic will regulary string four wins together, and for that reason CC should be awarded the MOTM for Feb



















    if not.....its a conspiracy

    Well I am but only since that dreadful day years ago when I was struck by lightening whilst walking under a ladder and was resuscitated by a passer by who was to become my wife a couple of years later. You would expect to be unlucky once, maybe even twice but three times in the one day is a bit extreme.

    I've had a rethink and now hope that CC does get the Manager of the Month award for February. It's no more than he deserves.

    I dont think cup games count towards the manager of the month as its for SPL games only.
    Someone once told me that hard work wouldn't kill me.

    I thought: "Hell, why take the chance"!

    Hope CC gets it !

    He's done very well to take a relegation battling team to a top 6 contender, no ?

    Well done... Colin Calderwood...

    Is it a group within the SPL managing committee or a group including the Clydesdale bank which decides? Petrie is a member of the SPL committee so I hope he puts his tuppenceworth in for Calderwood.

    What does the "Manager of the Month" actually receive?

    Monetary reward or a garish "trophy" emblazoned with sponsors logo? Does the Club get anything?

    I`d bet it`s the bric-a-brac..

    I think Celtic continuing an impressive run is impressive, but not as impressive as turning round a side which hadn't scored a goal in the previous month, let alone scored a goal.

    Tonight's result doesn't count but it will surely have a major effect if they're swithering between Calderwood and Lennon.

    Pretty sure it's just a wee trophy.

    I had the somewhat dubious honour of getting my hands on Ian McCall's 1st Division Manager of the Month (Feb 2006) trophy in a pub in Barcelona.

    Got to be Calderwood, and he deserves it big-time! He's taken time to suss out the situation and sorted it out at the first opportunity. Now we're all getting the benefit.
