Been in conference in deepest Manchester for a few days, has anything happened? First of all, well done to the captain for the whole onesie thing. I remember the days Celtic View staff had to campaign for days to get a word from a Celtic player. Notions that the senior players would roll their sleeves up and get involved with media, commercial or Foundation projects were fanciful.
While the move to Lennoxtown has no doubt been good for players and coaches, fans seldom get to see players in less formal roles, like this, or the now frequent Celtic shop visits.
If you’ve not seen the video, check it out here. It’s a Joy of Celtic kind of thing (which I know you have in spades).
Fraudulent or not?
Lord Haw-Haw: Yes.
William Shakespeare: Maybe.
Celtic, East Dunbartonshire and NHS Greater Glasgow: No.
Audit Scotland yesterday announced that there were no fraudulent activities surrounding the purchase of Lennoxtown by Celtic. Imagine that! Celtic paid full price, including tax…
CQN and others spend years predicting the fate of Rangers and Murray International Holdings. The evidence was there, if a little hidden. Just because one group of fans can successfully uncover significant information on another club, doesn’t mean that any or every club is managed in an illicit manner.
The tip is: if you’re going to put a lot of time and effort into something, chose your subject carefully. Otherwise you not only waste your time, but you miss a whole lot of more serious action.
Establishing the locus…
….what you need to do before you are considered appropriate to mount a Judicial Review of a process. Mike Ashley did this yesterday, despite his 9% shareholding in Newco. Fan groups wishing to pursue the SPFL, should they fail to look at the goings-on at oldco in the light of various recent legal matters, will need to convince a judge they are entitled to ask for a Review.
There is a clear route for pursue, should it be necessary.
On Ashley’s Judicial Review of the SFA’s decision to fine him £1000. If the Association are wise they’ll capitulate now. He knows what they don’t, he started this action knowing he has enough to win.
So what would you prefer, Newco fan money goes into Newco, or is held for a more productive moment? I reckon they should pile in now.

I remember when most people were incredulous, including myself, when Broony was given the Captain’s armband. Just goes to show what most of us know – the square root of hee haw.

Brown will be sadly missed, someone has to step up, big boots to fill, but this is when you get the chance to show what you got and grab the ring.

‘Brown out for 2-3 months’
###
Looks like he’s going to get some wear out of that onesie.
From the bottom up — Ronny talking to the media now.
RD: “They have nothing to fear I want to see energy and I know we have qualities in the team that can win the game for us.” #UEL (MH)

RD: “Ajax have a clear style of play and you know what will come. It will be a more open game than the weekend.” #UEL (MH)
RD on Scott Allan: “He came on at the weekend and he’s getting closer to the team. He’s one who is available.” (MH)
RD: “They have nothing to fear I want to see energy and I know we have qualities in the team that can win the game for us.” #UEL (MH)
RD: “The players have to out and enjoy the match.” (MH)
RD: “We have made some stupid mistakes which has cost us points.” #UEL (MH)
RD: “We have been a bit unlucky in some of the games. But it’s also been good in the right moments.” #UEL (MH)
RD if Carlton Cole has recovered from illness: “Yes,Carlton has trained this week.” #UEL (MH)
RD if Kris Commons is missing through illness or injury: “It’s both.” (MH)
RD: “Of course, it’s more tricky but we have good players and ones that can fill those roles and put on a good performance.” #UEL (MH)
RD: “I have in my mind, the team. We have to win the game and the same for Ajax as well. A big opportunity for us.” #UEL (MH)
RD: “Will need to put together a new midfield but we have a lot of good players and we will have a good team tomorrow.” #UEL (MH)
RD: “Not fearing anything but will be big changes in the midfield.” #UEL (MH)
RD on extent of Scott Brown’s injury: “We don’t know for sure yet but could be eight to 12 weeks.” (MH)
Ronny Deila speaking to media: “Scott Brown out for a while, not available. Charlie available & Kris Commons a little bit early.” #UEL (MH)
Celtic manager Ronny Deila speaking to the media at Celtic Park ahead of tomorrow’s #UEL game v @AFCAjax (MD) pic.twitter.com/2olrD4KVWY
LG now speaking to Media
LG: It’ll be a tough game for us
LG: They have to win the game as well and if they do that they’re also in a good position to go through. #UEL
LG: If we don’t perform we won’t go through but we can give ourselves a good chance by getting three points tomorrow. #UEL
LG: The last two games were disappointing but our fate is in our own hands. #UEL
LG: It’s a big name coming to Celtic Park and we need to be right at them. #UEL
LG; It’s always nervy playing at a full Celtic Park but if you’re not nervous playing in those games you shouldn’t be playing football. #UEL
LG on Ajax: The team we played that night in Amsterdam will be different tomorrow but we’ve got players that can expose their weaknesses.
LG: It’s up to the manager who plays. #UEL
LG: He’s a leader. He’s the captain of the club and country and you don’t get that if you’ve not got grit, determination and a will to win.
LG on Scott Brown: He’s devastated. It’s a blow for him and the team but we’ve got a number of players who can play there. #UEL
LG: They wouldn’t be at Celtic if they weren’t big game players. No matter who plays they can put in a performance. #UEL
LG on injuries: It’s a big blow for us. They’re big game players but it gives the other lads who haven’t been playing so much a chance. (MD)
.@Leighgriff09 will now speak to the media at Celtic Park.

Borons For Morons…. or Bauxing clever? :-)
All good positive stuff from RD, although he will get it in the neck by some in here, who cares about them, he’s the coach, cmon the hoops into this Dutch mob.
Well said LG, keep it positive kid.
Brown out is a huge blow.
I sometimes think if we didn’t have bad luck we’d have nae luck :(
HH
Gordon
Lustig Boyata Siminuovic Tierney
Janko Rogic Mulgrew Izzy
Forrest
Griffiths
With a severely depleted midfield we need to stiffen up somewhere. If Janko is fit then would play four fullbacks. Forrest in a free roll & Griffiths up front would also give us a big threat on the break. No Janko then Forrest on the right & Armstrong comes in behind Griffiths.
Excellent advert, would bring a tear to a glass eye.
Hail! Hail!
Vp and big G64
Sincere condolences on the passing of Brian.

Janko , Rogic, Allan, Forrest
Johansen
Griffiths
I can see the logic of putting Charlie in there for experience. However he will not be match fit and is too slow for my liking.
I liked Allans direct approach on the couple of occasions he has played, and would give him the shout tomorrow.
Of course Ronny will have a completely different approach, but his options are limited.
HH
‘Of course Ronny will have a completely different approach’
Glasgow dave,
I think he will too.
I think it’ll involve the omission of the suspended Joe hansen ;)

glasgowdave on 25th November 2015 2:46 pm
Johansen is out.
Losing the captain is a blow, but it now gives others a chance. Hopefully we get to see Stuart Armstrong in his best position of central midfield, alongside Bitton in the coming 8-12 weeks. Scott Allan ahead of those two would also be good to see.
RD will probably take a chance on Mulgrew for Thursday but hopefully only as a one off.
Gary,
Totally agree.
I’m all for guys getting a chance. Experience is invaluable.
It’s just a pisser when it’s forced upon us in a must win European game.
HH
WEEMINGER
Sh*t, we are depleted then. I’d go with Armstrong, who has been rank the last couple of games in centre mid, and put Allan in behind Leigh.
One things for sure.. it will be an interesting night
St Anthony posted this on twitter – look at the crowd on the roof and Pylon.
I would have been at that game , the pylon thing was a common occurance back then.

ONE of Britain’s leading bankruptcy experts has been appointed to probe ex-Rangers owner Craig Whyte’s finances.
Louise Yermonay will investigate the businessman’s assets to see if any money can be recovered for creditors.
The insolvency expert has built a fearsome reputation while dealing with some of the country’s most high-profile bankruptcy cases.
Previous bankrupts she has handled have included disgraced Tory MPs Jonathan Aitken and Neil Hamilton, TV presenter Michael Barrymore, historian David Irving, singer Kerry Katona and former Rangers captain Colin Hendry.
Whyte, 44, was made bankrupt at the High Court in London last month over a debt of more than £20 million owed to ticketing firm Ticketus.
Ticketus then asked the court for a bankruptcy trustee with full investigative powers to be appointed leading to Ms Brittain, the head of Contentious Insolvency at London accountancy firm Wilkins Kennedy, taking the role.
She said her job would be an “information gathering” exercise to see if Whyte had any money or property which could be sold off.
She said: “Creditors can ask for a bankruptcy trustee to be appointed to deal with the bankruptcy and that’s why I have been appointed.
“This can be done for various reasons, such as estate being held abroad, and it is not unusual in a bankruptcy of this kind.
“This is not a normal consumer credit bankruptcy.
“My role is to interview the debtor and investigate their assets by looking at their bank accounts for example.
“I will then make any payments that are possible to the directors of Rangers International Limited.
“The process can be quick and it might be possible to make some funds available before the January transfer window.
“We will also be in direct discussions with Trinity Group Newspapers to see if they can help provide more information into the missing billions”
“The debtor will be discharged from their bankruptcy after one year but that can be extended if there is non co-operation, either from himself of his suitors.”
Miss Yermonay said her role did not include investigating any “wrongdoing” prior to the bankruptcy as this was a matter for the Insolvency Service.
She has forged a reputation as one of the leading bankruptcy specialists in the UK
Her first big break came when her previous firm Baker Tilly secured the Jonathan Aitken bankruptcy. She recovered four times more money for the creditors than they were originally offered and the other cases followed on from that.
Ticketus successfully sued the Whyte for damages in 2013 over his part in the takeover of the Ibrox club in 2011.
The bankruptcy petition was filed at the High Court in London after he did not pay a judgment debt, plus costs and interest, currently worth £20.8m.
Ticketus provided cash to help Whyte purchase Rangers in 2011. The agreement was later terminated when the club entered administration in February 2012.
In April last year Whyte surrendered the keys to his 15th century pile Castle Grant, near Grantown-on-Spey.
The property was re-possessed by the bank due to him failing to pay the £7000-a-month mortgage for two years.
Whyte and his then wife Kim bought the castle for more than £700,000 in 2006.
Whyte also faces criminal charges over his part in the Rangers takeover and has been granted legal aid to fight the case.
Is Brown out because of the kick from the smsm’s latest pin-up, Magennis of Kilmarnock? That was a straight red.
Interesting comments from Ciftci’s agent that suggest the player is not happy. He is advocating change to Celtic’s style of play….using two up front. Unusual for an agent to make that kind of detailed comment, and it is, of course, self serving. However, it does not follow that he is wrong, even if he is ignored by RD.
The game tomorrow will tell us a lot about the progress that has been made over the year.

I agree with you on Charlie & like the sound of Rogic with Allan but with Johansen out we need some sort of defensive cover in the middle of the park. Very difficult trying to pick a starting 11 with squad players, especially ones who have limited game time. Just hope Ronny gets it right, but I fear a doing if he sticks to his philosophy.
HH!
Rangers chairman Dave King has been at Hampden today for a private meeting with the SPFL. He insists it was brief and simply a “courtesy call”.
“It was just really a private meeting just for me to introduce myself to them,” he told BBC Scotland. “I hadn’t met them before. It was very much casual… It was just coming in and saying hi and talking to them.”
King refused to comment on other issues surrounding Rangers.
Hadn’t met them before. For feck sake. Has he stopped paying his Ludge dues?

Three 1st team picks left at home by Ajax through injury, evens it up a bit -))
Scott Allan if picked wont have a better platform to show what he’s got imho.

Ironically, in the coming weeks if we change to a front 2 it’ll probably be Cole and Griffiths

Tax Credits cuts cancelled.
That is a good thing,:-)
alas thinking back to those heady days when things could only get better,and there was a landslide noolabour majority,the war criminal had no grey in his hair and big Gordon shat out of taxing the rich directly,you know those wealthy city types,those putting money offshore etc.nope big gordon keeched it and we got this facet of government expenditure
.Handy tho it was for our societies weakest and poorest who benefited,it is as we see presently a government whim to do with as they wish and this crowd of feral capitalists are doing just that.Alas noolabour as history proved were just as rightwing and pro-market as the tory scum they now criticise.
nationalists quite rightly get pelters on here as do the Tories,Labour or noolabour and their mismanagent of our economy and its betrayal of principles of the working class should not be forgotten.and it wont be.
politicians eh! shysters the lot of them

Ajax are top of their league having scored the most goals in the league. They have only let 7 goals in for the season so far. So our opponent has a free scoring forward line and a tight defence. Whereas Celtic have a xxxx defence, and a xxxx scoring record. Fill in the blanks.
Rebus
so their “fit and proper” criteria, allows that the person being reviewed doesnt even ever have to sit down with them to have a personal interview,
as TD says couldnt mark them with a blow torch.
and anyways they are lying, surely some of them sat together often in the ibrox directors box. you know, back in the awarding ebt’s and discounted options schemes time frames.
