Lennoxtown

She's 78.

She's born in Lenox Town, Scotland.

Her biggest hits here were the two songs from James Bond movies, To Serve With Love and The Man With The Golden Gun.

That's pretty much here in the United States.

I don't think they leave Lennox Town on a Wednesday night, drive up the road, learning how to be a better player.

and that is problematic, so I'm not giving the players a bye in saying that, they need to do better, they need to apply themselves and they need to, but I also don't think that they're leaving Lennoxtown Monday to Friday becoming better players, being coached to be better players, I think that they're leaving being worse, I think they're probably getting the best parts of their game constantly coached and dripped out them, aye, but look, the long and short of it is that's now six defeats in ten games and, you know, I don't even, nah, I don't even know, I don't, I just know I can't take this anymore because it's, and it's not like I, I come back to a point that I made the other night and it's like I can handle draws and losses, you might not see it right now, you go f**king can you, it doesn't look like it, I can handle dropping points but I can handle dropping points when you're getting a good return on your investment, so I paid £700 for my season book this year If I go to Celtic Park and I'm being entertained by what's meant to be the most...

Falkirk running it in the pitch today with a budget of like 4 million quid or something like that, when theirs is, you know, we've spent upwards of 150 million and whatever.

I would have to look at the exact numbers, but we're walking on like 25 times the budget of Falkirk, for example, right? And when I'm going to Celtic Park or when I'm watching Celtic on the TV, I expect to at least be entertained by the team who's meant to be far and away the best in the country.

The guy that, that won a double last season and has been, got the club out of a, out of a major hole.

Um, so I think that you, unless you're in there, Gerry, every day at Lennoxtown, then how do you know what goes on? So the other thing I would say as well, they tried a modern-day approach with Wilfred Nyonzi, and it lasted nine games.

It was a disaster.

So I'll go back to my original point.

And let's face it, he's, um, quite a lot of big decisions to make right now.

I mean, I'm down at Lennoxtown yesterday.

As I said to Ma- uh, Dan, speaking to Martin, and you're thinking, "Well, he, he's definitely still engaged in this." He's, he's, you know, he, he's up for the fight.

He's 74 year old, but he's, you can feel the, the, the energy inside him, the, the desire to, to make this right.

I'm hoping that changes in these next few minutes and I'll get any updates.

necessary information put across to you in this video, but we did get a big boost from Lennoxtown this morning as footage emerged of some injured players returning to training, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Alistair Johnston and even Callum Osmond were all spotted training today, we'll wait to hear what Martin O'Neill says about their status and whether or not all three are available maybe not so much for tomorrow, but for when they will be available, you would assume Callum Osmond will be fine to go, it seemed to be a minor hamstring issue that he went off with on Sunday, so I think he'll be okay once again, we'll find out in a moment hopefully if Martin O'Neill confirms that, but Vickers and Johnston spotted at Lennox Town, which is nothing but good news obviously, it would be nicer if they were a wee bit ahead of schedule and were ready to play tomorrow night's game, that I very much doubt will be the case, but they're back, it's a boost for Celtic nonetheless and we'll wait and see what the manager gives us at the presser.

Right, I am interrupting the video to bring you the live news from Celtic's press conference, so very quickly I should make it clear that Martin O'Neill wasn't at the press conference today, he did not take press duties, Sean Maloney was doing the pre-match press conference, this was because of a personal matter with Martin So, he missed out, Sean Maloney took it, of course, no need to speculate what that personal matter could be, but nonetheless, my best wishes are with the boss, his family and whatever else.

So, yeah, it was Sean Maloney that took over the press conference.

That happens a bit more often, doesn't it? But Landon Emenalo is coming on for his Celtic debut.

It's obviously taken him a long time to finally, you know, arrive at Lennoxtown, get in the Celtic squad.

He's getting his chance, and Camilo Juran, who's got himself a goal today, he comes off, and Kasper Huus comes on with 30 minutes to go.

And you think he'll be determined to try and get on the scoresheet after seeing his teammates all do it.

I'll add a wee bit of context to that.

I, I was up working for Sky this morning at Lennoxtown.

Yeah.

Um, and that, that kind of become, became the headline.

He's away for his flu jab.

Away for my flu jab, yeah.

Uh, it's what a m- I was up at, as I said, Lennoxtown speaking to Martin O'Neill.

That's one of those places that is amazing in the good weather and dreadful-

Newspaper again has to almost repeat what they'd said about Fred's younger brother just a few weeks before.

"On Thursday last week, Mr. and Mrs. William Hayworth from Royal Bank House in Lennoxtown received official news of the death of their third son, Second Lieutenant Frederick Hayworth, Gordon Highlanders, attached to the London Scottish, who was killed in action on the 12th of May.

He was 24 years of age and enlisted in January 1915, and was commissioned in November of 1915." So a month before his younger brother.

"Fred was home on leave a few weeks ago when in- when news of the death in action of his brother, Second Lieutenant Harry Hayworth, was received, he being killed on the 16th of April.

Fred was educated at Dunfermline High School and Queen's Park School in Glasgow.

After school days, he entered the service of the Royal Bank.

While residing in Lennoxtown, he played golf and cricket and had much love for music, being a pupil of Mr. Dickson.

He enlisted in the Glasgow Highlanders in January of 1915" And since going to France in October, he was attached to the London Regiment, and that's what happened to officers when they came out here.

Keep it under wraps.

Let them, let them appear in a photo at Lennoxtown and fans go, "Oh, Christ.

There, he's finally here."

Yeah.
