I read Kenny Shiels’ comments that Newco’s Barrie McKay was better than James Forrest and Patrick Roberts, making me curious about McKay’s contract. The midfielder’s deal expires in 18 months, but when announcing his contract signing, Newco were unusually frank about their newco status:
“The winger has played a total of 78 times for Rangers, after making his first start in July 2012 against Brechin City at the age of 17.”
Before going onto explain in the same article that “The pacey winger made his Rangers debut against St Johnstone in the Light Blues’ last game of the 2011/12 season.”
If you count, that’s two debuts. For two Rangers.
McKay was clearly Newco’s best player against Celtic, causing problems from the first minute until their challenge ran out of steam. Tying him into a long-term contract will be a priority (or selling him will be).
Yesterday I noted how Kiernan yelled abuse towards Tavernier at Scott Sinclair’s goal at Ibrox, but as this still shows, the entire Newco defence have questions to answer.
There are five defender goal-side of Stuart Armstrong (not counting one on the wing). As the world was about to find out, Sinclair was unattended, but look at the space Moussa Dembele is in! The two central defenders, who will soon claim to be covering him, are five yards away from him. The defensive line isn’t so much a line as a horseshoe.
This is what Moussa scores so many goals against that lot, he doesn’t get this kind of space against any other opponent.

It’s how many of their brains work, remember one saying he was surprised that I wore a blue t-shirt, my comment was that I was a Celtic fan not a bigot. That was game, set and match……
Love it! Mind if I borrow that some time? (the saying, not the t-shirt, I mean)-))
Good game. Artur would be our back up goalie these days.
How times change.

On the Celtic Blog today there is an article revealing how the triumphalist vanguard of Scottish culture are mightily pissed off after getting their noses rubbed in it again. Seems the author grepped out from the chasms of the Scottish lower depths revealing that this egregious bowel movement are expressing victimization on a grand scale and seemingly are suffering from “cultural genocide” in Scotland.
Now if there was ever any culture that needed Genicided (can you say “Genicided” on CQN?) (last time I said genicided on CQN some demented murderator thought I was referring to another appalling cultural practice in sub Saharan Africa and was deemed inappropriate. Anyway I digress) this must be a prime candidate.
Its a pity this vanguard of scum will survive being genicided for the bigot buck.
Dont you agree dear readers? a la mode de Phil?
No. They have not suffered enough.
Just read on Sevco media

=============================================
It is , mate.
Just like the recent marriage of a 13 year old female.
However , those apprehended get a wee slap on the wrist.
We have to respect cultural diversity , you know.
Saltires, lovely post about your dad. The times I was in his company were always very enjoyable.
When your gran was buried, my dad showed me the grave of a former Celtic player (possibly Bertie Thompson) close to my gandfather’s grave , your gran’s brother, Patrick.
My dad was slightly happier to find the ex Celt’s grave thank his dad’s.
Our family in Johnstone , particularly our dads’ cousin , John, who later joined the priesthod , were Celtic fans.
Its hard to think its just over 20 years since your gran died, wonderful woman that she was , and 15 months since your dad passed away. May both their souls rest in peace.
Delaney’s , I hope your mum is feeling better.
BTW
james Forrest writes very good articles

Macjay- Sir Les Patterson still Cultural Attachè over there…?
ok here is what I do. You get a lot of good Celtic info quickly.
I have an iphone 6s
Download celticnewsnow app from Apple.
its free.
Because its free after 2-3 days its designed to barrage you with advertisements and it gets bogged down quickly (even navigate button doesnt respond)but in those 3 days you learn a lot.
after 3 days delete and re-install. takes 5 minutes.
Im loving it.
goodnight Timland
