Lots of frustration around today at the possibility the first leg of the Champions League qualifier will be switched to Belfast. It will be no comfort to those who booked travel yesterday but we are in this situation every qualifying game. The draw is made and confirmed a day or two later, which is why clubs (including Celtic) and CQN yesterday ran a “Don’t book travel until…” piece. On most occasions nothing is changed which means fans are caught out when change happens.
No reason why Uefa can’t deal with this on the day of the game, or exclusively on the basis of strict criteria. I hope they deny this request, which is not in Celtic’s favour and clearly not in fan’s best interest.
Two items to draw your attention to today:
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust are undertaking a sponsored cycle of all SPL grounds this September in attempt to get to our £100k fundraising target. This money will be used to help on the battle to fight skin cancer working with organisations such as Beatson Cancer Centre. The event is called Tour for Tommy and will span 5 days, 12 clubs and 380 miles of cycling before returning to Celtic Park on Sunday 15th September. Ex-Celts such as Packie Bonner and Frank McGarvey are joining in as the full event and Bertie Auld will be completing the last day. The event is looking to team up with the fans of each club to join them on a leg from their stadium to the next.
The group have much of the logistics in place and most of the riders, but they need more help. Each of the four main days are being offered for sponsorship with day one already taken up. In return the 30-40 core riders will get their clothing made with that company’s logo as well as any signage on press releases at the stadiums among other benefits (full pack available upon request). The Tour has already received great coverage from Sky Sports with further commitment to track the whole event.
In addition the charity are looking for donations of anything from water bottles, energy bars/drinks to medical supplies and biking mechanical supplies.
If you are interested in getting involved in any way you can contact scottmcgarvey@gmail.com. You can donate here, follow on Facebook and twitter (@tommyburnsSCT).
I know many of you will be aware of the work done by Celtic fans for the people of Haiti as part of the Hoops For Haiti campaign. This is another aspect of the incredible work done by Celtic fans and a credit to our club. You can read their blog here and get involved here.

Weefra –
Lol! That was soufflé funny. And here’s me scrambling about for a yolk…!
Nothing against James McFadden but he’s not the creative pass picking midfielder that I would be looking for, that plus we have quite a few kids who will lose out on a place in the squad if he comes in, we’ll never have a better time to bring kids through than right now, either we’re a club that can develop a portion of it’s own squad or we’re not…

You poaching ma patter? Lol

Very good point. There are very few opportunities to bring through new talent. Right now is as good a time as there’s ever been.
I don’t think it’s just the secundo division that la coiste is trying to win, with all these signings. It seems to me that he is determined to win one of the major cups. Like him FAT chance !!

Paul67 – this would all be easier if we had a “Like” button for posts!
A thought just crossed my mind, and I may be wrong. Was McFadden not offered a position with us a few years back? If so he does not deserve a second chance to wear our beloved Hoops. I, of course stand corrected if wrong.
Weefra HH
The odds must be shortening that we will draw a certain wee second division club in one of the cups. Surely

No physio yet. Back hospital 16th July.
Hopefully after then i can start.
Wee fra.a phd in tea making before I retirn to work. Think im doing her head in..
There definitely appears to be a 3-sided game going on between Celtic, prospective clubs and Wanyama’s agents.
I don’t think the agents are covering themselves in glory and clubs will take note for future dealings with their players.
Celtic appear to have a price, or potentially leaking to the MSM that certain bids have been accepted or rejecting to establish a starting or acceptable price.
The agents on the other hand are holding out for huge payoffs and wage packets for Wanyama. The problem is, Cardiff or Southampton – what’s the difference? In football or in wages.
All parties are hoping for a big club to enter the fray.
STV news ,dick Foster ,”ragers ur a big club”……..cue fit of giggles fae me.
BRTH , obv i’m the eejit now , I was referring to “Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan supports Kano 1000” and the hope that it’ll become “Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan supports Kano 2000” after the first home game .
How funny would it be if someone could produce an email , say between Sevco and BR saying something like “if you agree to tear up RF’s contract , we’ll play a friendly with you guaranteeing you £100K in visiting sevconian zombies” ? Just askin’

The on field clip of him losing the ball made me chuckle too.
Now we know.
Even Aristotle could not have explained it more succinctly.
reilly1926
I missed that bit,due to aforementioned laughter.hh
KK
Aristotle?…who does he play for?
Latest from Castle Greyskull;
“In appreciation of his service to Rangers, The Rangers,The Rangers International, and Sevco,(5088 and Scotland) the club has decided to honour one of our most loyal employees, by naming part of the stadium in his honour.
From next season, the Broomloan Rd Stand will be known as “The Jimmy Bell End”
HH
Aristotle played alongside Socrates for Brazil under 21’s
No sure,VP.
The Oracle will no doubt tell us ( In his own modest way ).
Radio Snyde boasting this is Fat Sally’s 7th signing of the summer.
So much fot a transfer embargo…
Malone Bhoy
I agree, but don’t accept Celtic have leaked that a transfer fee has been agreed.
That part may come from the agents saying so, and because Southampton or Cardiff’s personal terms, aren’t to they’re liking.
The main agent is transparent, and has forgotten that Victor would have had a massive pay rise, if he’d chosen to sign a new contract, he didn’t presumably on his advice.
They are all waiting on their money, but as usual Celtic hold the ace card.
