He may be gone physically, but his spirit will still be with us, as an inspiration and example, to our upcoming generations of players. They now know the standards they have to reach. They now know,
"This is what it means to be Celtic."
He toyed with a fresh challenge with the Australia thing a few years ago
The move didn't surprise me in the slightest, everyone needs a new challenge
I think there were two strands to his decision, first being he wants to play as much as possible while he can and at that mob he's first name on team sheet.
Secondly, after watching Kennedy's career at Celtic, he'll be aware that fans don't like 'promoting from within' when it comes to first team, they want Hollywood appointments or maybe nowadays its more Bollywood.
If Broony is to be Celtic manager, he knows himself he has to earn his stripes and in order to do that, he has to do it elsewhere first. I admire him for that.
I'll also say, i don't give a feck if your Broony, my capitan, thee hun-skelper, thee hun-troller, the most successful captain to wear the jersey (i think),
if you haven't proven yourself a top manager, you shouldn't be near the job
