If Sevco really were a series then the scriptwriters would clean up at the awards.
This morning Poor Pedro had a walk on part wishing his “brothers” at Celtic hearty congratulations for winning 4-in-a-row.
A touching message from our Celtic Brother Pedro Caixinha in 2015. 🍀 pic.twitter.com/9TNCFgjr93

“We will keep saluting you and pushing you up”.
Ah, bless.
This was when he was a coach at Santos Laguna the Mexican club that has a formal relationship with Celtic.
That partnership started in 2010, and side wears green and white hoops.
Therefore, it is fair to Pedro has a good record operating in a feeder club.
I think this will be a good experience for him if he does take the helm at the Espanyol of Glasgow.
However, I fear that Poor Pedro will soon realise that there is a very different type of Brother in the City where Celtic dominate all others.

Waiting to pick up my other half tonight when I heard a Rangers fan phoning into Clyde claiming that Pedro must have made a big impression at interview in front of the Rangers selection panel.
Where, when and how was this interview undertaken?
Did Pedro fly into Glasgow…obviously not as Chris Jack would have been all over it.
Did the interview panel fly to Quatar to interview the candidate. …..mano o mano?
Hmm…..apparently not, way, way too expensive.
How the hell did Pedro pass the sniff test long distance?
I tried to get through to Clyde tonight to ask that question but was told that DJ was already sweating profusely trying to stick to the party line and my question was completely inappropriate.
DJ’s attack on the caller who asked where was Pedro given that various sources had him arriving Monday, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, …………was brutal.
DJ then claimed that he had said that Pedro would jet in within 5 days, that claim was made last Friday.
The caller was cut off before having a chance to say that it’s now 7 days since DJ’S assertion and he’s still not here……oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
‘Jet Ski’ in, surely, Joe ..?
That’s a very interesting point on The Bears Den about ‘tainted titles’. Ffs they are talking about ours over the last 6 years, not those won during the 12 years of financial doping carried out in broad daylight by SDM and his apprentice, the former SFA President Campbell Ogilvie (EBT £96k)
When the Supreme Court throw out the BDO appeal what course of action will Regan and his crew take?
Will Bryson be tasked to trump the Supreme Court decision with another imperfect ruling?
Nothing that this bunch of cowboys running our game do would be a surprise.
And once again have Rangers paid the SPFL fine and have the SFA carried out one, just one, random doping test?
One thing about Regan, Doncaster et al, transparency is not on their agenda, no siree Bob.
There’s only one reason I can think of that he’s not on a plane yet !!! There’s another potential offer on the table !!!!
Viva Mehico !!!!! Ole ! Ole !! Ooooooo Ole !!!!!
I jest but It would make me so happy if that was the case !!!
I’m reading that Pedro has been given a 3 year contract!
Has the Rangers board lost their combined senses?
Let’s take an unknown manager currently running down his contract in Quatar, or not having it renewed by his current employers, depending on the source, and bring him to Glasgow to compete with a Celtic who are flying, are cash rich , have a board with a plan and finally have a manager who can adapt to any situation and make several changes to the formation within the course of the 90 minutes as the situation demands.
This has disaster written all over it, and he’s not even in the country yet!
Some media outlets are alleging he is bringing three of his coaching staff with him. I do hope the Ibrox Three’s legal team is taking note and will use it as further ammunition for their up and coming case.
And in the blue dugout – just jetted in from Qatar, it’s bullfighting, jet skiing, hoops cheering, Pope loving, pre-match blessing, Mass-going, green wearing – yes it’s everyone’s favourite Govan kaflik – it’s Pedro Caixinha.
Come on Sports Direct, bring out a green shirt to celebrate Pedro’s arrival.
For the avoidance of doubt, I wish Pedro no ill will. I hope he gains from the Ibrox experience and goes on to great things (elsewhwere) and to enjopy a long and happy life. But to be realistic, the poor guy probably has no clue what he has let himself in for. In the space of a few weeks he’ll need to complete a PhD in Psychology another in Social Anthropology, a third in Public Relations / Media Management and a fourth in Criminiolgy would not go amiss. Oh, yes, and then there’s the small matter of turning a bunch of pigs’ ears into Neymars and Messis on a budget of world class breakfasts.

Our Freddie didn’t half talk some bolllox when he’d had a few.
Take care Pedro and Boa Sorte!

Without the evolutionary aspect.
Rangers will have collected around £350k on behalf of Celtic for tickets sold to their fans for Sunday.
Add an £150k for the usual toilet wrecking( though I’m sure Police Scotland have a plan) then Celtic are owed £500k…..when will it be paid over?
Joe, they are only getting sections 119/120, like any other away fans, that’s 1,500 fans or £75,000
I can’t believe that, given what they know and having held back money for stadium damage – Celtic would front circa £350k to Sevco
Celtic would be murdered by the media if they had signed this guy.
The last two games against Sevco put them in a good light with the low score defeats.
Now let’s review these games,but for their keeper and Celtics forwards not taking great chances the scores would be similar to the game at Celtic park
Sundays game will result in either a 2-0 win or if Celtic are on fire 5 or more,If young Roberts plays McKay will spend the game trying to help mark him.
Celtics movement is fantastic to watch ,which seems to be overlooked by the SMSM as it does not make good reading for those who buy their papers.
AMcCoist should watch the EPL if he wants to see overpriced players, week in and week out,in the best league in the world,as SkY keep telling us.
MD is a class act as is SS thanks to Brendan we have them.AMcCoist opinion has seen him support Green and King,and if he could bag it gardeners would buy it to help their potables grow
Just another Celtic supporter at Ibrox. Lost count of them all.
Chuckles Green, Google Eyes Whyte …
Celtic are having their most successful season for sixteen years and every article is about that rancid mob , they are nothing
‘Nothing’?!
You call the greatest madcap comic farce that has ever been known to Man ‘nothing’?!
We’ve had a fresh laugh every single week FOR FREE for the last 5 years, sometimes 2 or 3 a day, depending on who’s been ‘in charge’ at Statement O’Clock!
I agree that their vile bigotry and blood-wading hatred for their fellow citizens is an outrageous abomination on the face of all genuine human morality and decency and that Scotland & Ireland would be far more harmonious countries without it, but we must bear in mind that these attitudes exist in the minds of higher placed people than just ‘The’ Peepil and that their Comedy Club-cum-Criminal Racket is but a focal point for all their misplaced, carefully inculcated, hatred.
So, on that point alone, I wouldn’t ever call them ‘Nothing’, given their malignant, silent, reach across the British Isles and beyond.
But it’s for their endless stream of lunatic maniac hair trigger hilarity that I prefer to view them, for what’s not to like about the longest running crackpot soap opera ever placed before us?
To paraphrase Max Bialystock when discussing The Führer,
‘To show the world the (Sevco) you knew, the (Sevco) you loved, the Hitler with a song in his heart!’
Come on, man, what’s not to like about this slapstick joke of a ‘fitba club’ failing constantly on its face?
I, personally, just can’t get enough and I cannot wait for the next, guaranteed to be hilarious, instalment.
Like you, I will be sad when it is over….long may the Schadenfreude effect continue.
The Sevco saga as a TV series? You might be on to something here, Phil. “Coronation Cup St.” perhaps, “Not The Eastenders”? Suggestions on a postcard,please..

Pedro’s head must be full of mad dog’s shite.
Has Pedro signed a contract yet? Never mind. As you ponder my question, take a look at what might transpire on Friday as interpreted by the legendary Rikki Fulton, supported by Gregor Fisher and Gerard Kelly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1zH2x1-7LA
‘Unveiled after the Celtic game’, eh ..?
Haven’t they considered the possibility that Pedro might yet still do walking away, after he finally jet skis in and sees for himself that the piggy bank’s completely empty, except for a pile of IOU notes totalling somewhere approaching 20 million?
Please god, either let this comic farce run & run, or shut them down forever. Or both 😀
Either way, we’ll always have the memories!
Cheers, Sevco!
I wonder if he will insist Eggs Benedict has to go back on the menu and green straws in the ” pie stalls”.This is priceless.Hope the Bhoys join in my chant on Sunday of Pedro,Pedro,bless yourself!
In all their 5 year madcap existence, this has to be one of the funniest days yet.
Only time will tell if it outstrips Deranged Dave’s ‘Bringing the Oldco Out of Liquidation’ lark but, for sheer hysterical comic value, it can’t be too far behind.
Best thing is, I’ve no even popped into The Bears Den yet to see what they think of their second Celtic-supporting manager in a row, as I’m not sure my ribs can take it, but I expect there’ll be some pissed off bear bugs around.
Let’s hope he doesn’t get the same treatment from the amusement brotherhood that mr le guen received
“O Brother Where Art Thou”? Would be very apt in this whole tragedy/comedy.. The way the dignified brogue wearers have conducted their business is tantamount to shameful and to be pitied. How the PR spinners of Level Pie have managed to slot Jose Mourinho in as Pedros mate is a classic i(sky pie served cold with a massive dollop of blueberry coulis) style.
I pity Pedro as he no doubt has many friends at parkhead who he will now find it dificult to be seen with. You have to wonder if when the sheet hits thee fan for the “senior” will he be throwing himself in front of buses instead of bulls..
I would have thought that if the people of Govan were going to go for a man with his background they might have been better going for Mr Del Monte at least he is an “Orangeman”
Comical Aly McCoist for Director of Fun?
The whole of Portugal and Spain is about to be reacquainted with their religious bigotry.
A devout Roman Catholic, let this be fair warning to the SFA that Sevco will not play fixtures on Sundays going forward.
In addition, the world class breakfasts on Fridays will have no meat.
I think you’re getting the Catholics mixed up with the Presbyterians. Sunday was always the day for sport in catholic counties ie. Ireland,Spain, Italy.
They will be jumping up and down with rage when this gets out to the bears. This won’t end well !!
Let’s hope not Yogithebear 67,
Looks like a real Boo-Boo tae me,I thought his ‘hiring’ had already been blown clean out of the water,merely days after his arrival was ‘imminent’
First day in L.A. And Phil is bang onnit,just another hysteria filled day in serfcoland.
You,quite literally,could not make it up,well maybe you could,but this seemingly ‘designed’ manner in which this farce is unfolding on a daily basis,is nothing short of comedy gold and there’s plenty more to come in March yet……
Thanks for the update Phil.Great wit.✅☮
I would wager that El Matador will no be bringing a number 2 with him on the journey to Govan. He will be given a short list of RRM, McLeish, Rae, Dodds, McCann, Thompson, Davies, Ferguson etc and asked to select one.
Just realised that only one of the above does not have an EBT!
With a RRM in situ this will ensure a seamless transition when Pedro gets his jotters at Xmas.
Oh and how’s that DOF search coming along?
Actually a very good point Joe, get the Patty in to fail and then get the RRM #2 to take over on the cheap. Pedro will be drummed out like the taig LeGuen. Should not be a difficult transition aided by Jabba and co.
Has someone gone to see him and offered him the managers job at Glasgows biggest club per chance ?
Boy will be be disappointed.
Brilliant.
I’m off to the bears den for a laugh…
Was just there. Very hard to read. Their threads start off as funny, but soon become worrying when you read the comments. Try the ” are Celtics titles tainted”. Totally delusional. They are talking about the video too. Their knowledge of what really happened in the last five year is an insult to sport, fairness, common sense and total disregard of facts.
I nearly posted the same as you.
I read that thread and it left a really bad taste in my mouth.
I am not sure what alternative reality planet these people are living on.
We’ve had 5 years of joy and laughter at the expense of the bears but when you read that, you know it’s time to assign their company to the history books.
The bears are very philosophical about it. They’d rather have a Tim than an Englishman I think.
I think that might be the first, and possibly last, time we’ll ever see the words ‘Philosophical’ and ‘Bears’ in the same sentence.
Though I suppose there’s not much else ye can do other than be philosophical when the good hard swift kick in the nuts has already been administered.
as someone on another forum has alluded to, have your heard any confirmation that the interview for Brother Pedro was carried out by Skype???
The Govanites speak with a two pronged crown
Let’s hope he’s an albatross for them.
The Pantomime has a new villain, no moustache or cloak but a tan and a foreign accent, and a liking for the hoops…..that should do it. Cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth over at the deid klub fanbase. Fans in Saltcoats will be so disgusted they will be putting their clothes back on.
ohh ffs who is going to carry the can for this debacle lol
What on earth is going on at Rangers? Is someone putting magic mushrooms in the world class muesli? You just couldn’t make this crazy shit up without chemical help. Can you imagine on Sunday when 50,000 Celtic fans show their phones to the bears playing that clip on loop? It could win the Turner prize as mass participation community art. But then again Rangers will probably win it for transforming cack handed superiority into theatre of the absurd.
Hahaha, ‘Turner Prize community art’! 😀
You’re on fire this week, CC, but that’s an absolute classic image you’ve put up, you should get a prize for that one yirself!
And, of course, the fact that Pedro is YET ANOTHER Celtic man taking up a Sevco post, it really is starting to look like there IS an ‘Unseen Fenian Hand’ at work here!
Green & Whyte, Joey & Murty, now Brother Pedro ‘pushing us up’!
For the first and only time I will use this abbreviation, as it’s all I’ve been doing since I saw this clip this morning:
RAFLMFAO!
Go, Pedro! Go, Pedro!
Wave your hands in the air for Sevco!
It should be played on the big screens.
Yes!
For the duration of the game! 😀
I’m now convinced that I have been in a drug induced coma since 2012.
Does Big Derek not care for the cut of his jib?
Invariably, that has always been a deciding factor down Ibrox Way.
Comedy Gold !!!!!!!
Love It !!
HH Phil
Bless….
And we said their children would be Celtic fans……now their manager beats them to it.
Remeber that time they called Stubbsy a sad fenian bastard, karma

Rangers: Alan Stubbs backs coach Pedro Caixinha for Ibrox role
To be fair, their current manager has even beaten Pedro to it …
Well said bro! You will be as welcome as a fart in a space suit after that airs around the neanderthals.
Seriously though why would anyone even consider an offer from this “basket of assets”. Anyone in any walk of life would do their homework on a prospective employer so surely this guy knows what he is letting himself in for.
I think we are in for a right good fucking laugh when we sit back and relax and then they discover the video..
The huns think they are onto a good thing here
“Something about this guy….i think this is a risk worth taking after listening to that interview
That’s what we all thought about Warburton
