It is nonsense to talk about Hampden Hoodoos, Celtic’s five defeats there since Neil Lennon became manager have been a result of poor performances, not superstition (fighting the urge to mention two last minute penalty decisions). Celtic were unquestionably the stronger team on four of those five occasions, arguably all five, but they have been tactically out-thought at the national stadium time after time.
We are vastly stronger than Dundee United but once the whistle goes tomorrow, unless we can match them for hunger, arrest the defensive lapses which have blighted us all season, and find the key to breakdown what will be a tight defence, there is no reason to believe the outcome will be any different than when we faced a weaker St Mirren.
Shortly before that St Mirren defeat I said we were not playing consistently to win the treble we were short odds for. Consistency hasn’t improved much since, which is why you are hearing talk coming out of Lennoxtown about this being the biggest game of the season.
It’s double time….

2nd too
Three and easy
On to victory..
Nah…
Top 10?
I fully expect this Commission to get to the bottom of all this. They will find links to Green and Whyte and lies made to gain a licence from SFA.
They will volunteer to revoke their own licence and take Sevco to the lowest of the junior leagues.
They will beg to be admitted and apologise to the people of Scotland for sullying part of the fabric of society.
This white coat is tight and why do they spoon feed me. What does psychotically delusional mean???

Have you and Phil been contacted about getting involved with this Independent Commission?

It would make for a good cup final spectacle, Hibs after that great fightback and the Celts going for the double, we must win tomorrow. A great test for our young lions.
Hampdens gonnae be Green and White!

FOLLOWING a meeting today, the board
of The Rangers International Football
Club PLC issued the following statement:
“The Board has announced today it is to
commission an independent examination
and report in view of recent allegations in
the media concerning the Chief Executive,
Charles Green, the Commercial Director,
Imran Ahmad, and their management of
the Club.
“The decision to commission the
examination was taken unanimously by
those in attendance at today’s meeting
including non-executive and executive
directors.
“The independent report will be
commissioned and completed as speedily
as possible and presented directly to the
non-executive directors of the company.
“The Chief Executive will not be involved
in the conduct of the examination. The
Board wishes to make clear that is not
prejudging any of the issues involved and
that the object of this exercise is to clarify
the situation to the satisfaction of
shareholders, supporters, staff and Board
members.
“Instructions recently given to lawyers in
England and Scotland with a view to
taking legal action to challenge these
recent allegations will form part of the
independent examination.
“Also at today’s meeting, the Chief
Executive of the Club apologised
unreservedly to Board members and the
wider Rangers support for any offence
caused by remarks he made in an
interview last week regarding Imran
Ahmad.
“Mr. Green told the Board that in trying to
make a point in the interview that, as
Chief Executive, he would not
countenance any form of prejudice
towards employees or players at the Club,
he had exercised poor judgement in the
words he chose. He apologised.
“The Board accepted the explanation that
there had been no intention to cause
offence and accepted the Chief
Executive’s apology. The Board is
satisfied that the Chief Executive did not
act in a racist manner but reminded him
of the importance of all office bearers at
Rangers upholding the standards
expected by the Club.
“Mr. Green will deal with the pending
S.F.A. charge on this matter on a
personal basis. The Board wishes to re-
iterate Rangers is a Club which is
opposed to all forms of prejudice and has
a long-established policy of working
extensively in the community through a
variety of programmes and initiatives to
tackle issues such as racism and
sectarianism.”
Good afternoon CQN. Any bets the Independant Commission find no wrong doings over ole Ipox way?

Another Hampden horror show will be difficult to take
Our performances at Hampden during Lenny’s tenure have been unacceptable for a team of our ability and resources
Better attitude and application required

The Celts are here.. Great match at hampden today.. Poor crowd..
Roll on tomorrow..

Charlie says sorry for being a racist
Wee Shaun looking the business,
Should we try and bring him home?
Why bother with an independent commission if you’ve done nothing wrong?
Aye P67 what about the Hampden hoodoo United have any time they play us
This hoodoo thing is not unilateral
Hoodoos are for sharing csc
Have a feeling the independent commission may be about as impartial and truthful as the Warren Commission.
Yet again the arrogance and stupidity of these people reaches new heights .
I have a simple solution jail them all.
Time to produce the goods at Hampden Young Lions!!!
re independent commission, are the SFA finally being investigated?
They are the ones responsible for applying the Governance process, they are the shield that allowed this corruption to go on for over 11yrs.

Green playing a blinder. This will enable charles to get the ST monies when he delays the outcome of any inquiry and / or gerrymanders the ‘independent’ commission set up by themselves ( hunbelievable ).

SEVCO. a long established policy…to tackle issues .. Like sectarianism..
Yes that’s why for over a century they discriminated against, and were allowed to, Roman Catholics..
Some policy …
The MSM will highlight these matters..
I hear amateur propagandist Graham is up speaking on behalf of Sevco again on this evenings Sportsound Extra
Maloney scores
Repost
Could anyone tell me how the bhuns setting up their own independent inquiry into themselves can in any way excuse the SFA from nailing the barstewards..This is an internal matter for Rangers and should have no bearing on assurances given by them to the SFA

Why didn’t chuckles apologise to the people who were the object of his offensive behaviour? Like a famous advocate, he’s not apologising for, or acknowledging the offensive effect of, his behaviour.
He’s apologising for getting caught!!
Ffs. … muppet alert
Wee Shaun 15/2 first goal…ya beauty
How does a hoodoo have an effect on two teams at the same time?
Does sevco have an honesty hoodoo?
Too often we start games at a pedestrian pace. Its as if “We know” we are the better team and sooner or later we expect our quality to show and we will then win the game. Hunger and desire is a great leveler and we have to at least match The Arabs in that department. I want Celtic to go out from the start and play with pace & purpose and impose our game on them. If we do that I’m sure we will win and keep the season buzzing right up to the last game.
Thindimebhoy
Why is this idiot Graham getting airtime …he adds nothing to reasoned debate and is simply a sevco cheerleader ….he is a study in subjectivity
I suspect that even the Hun hordes aren’t stupid enough to be duped by this ???
Still – there will be no excuse whatsoever for either plod or the SFA ignoring the real issue…
“John Barnes claims credit for giving Shaun Maloney his debut as a 16-year-old at Celtic.”
It’s a good thing he didn’t give our Shaun dietary advice.
