Gordon Strachan Celtic Quotations

I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on.

He's got everyone's respect at Celtic Park, but I'm afraid it's every man for himself on Saturday,

The players gave me exactly what I expected of them, both the guys who have been here doing it for the last five years and the newer ones who stood shoulder to shoulder with them and didn't let them down. The vision I have for Celtic must include the heart and character they showed tonight but we also have to play better and get fitter.

It's fantastic, my first cup since coming to Celtic and I hope there's many more.

I lived in England for 21 years and I know that everybody, apart from some of the teams that think they might get relegated, would love Celtic and Rangers to be in the English League. I think it will happen eventually.

If you play for Celtic or Rangers, there is a certain responsibility. If you are a footballer full stop, you have a certain responsibility. You have to be disciplined. It's okay being angry, but you must be focused and you just keep trying to work on that. There is a thin dividing line between being a competitor and going over that.

It has been the Jimmy Johnstone week at Celtic Park.
