Work ahead of the new season is underway in earnest after Celtic came through a game in Austria against top flight Russian club FC Krasnodar in Austria yesterday afternoon. Every hour has to be carefully planned from now on.
Ronny Deila has only 11 days before taking to an Icelandic field on Champions League duty. Players need to step up, from 45 minutes against a fellow-preseason team, to 90 minutes of competitive action against a team who are already midseason. Pushing muscles too hard now will be counterproductive; players need a planned gradient of training, rest and games to get them as close to peak condition as possible. No matter how well this goes, the players will be short of their peak for weeks.
Trying hard not to think or talk about signings but it’s good to see Craig Gordon confirmed. Fraser Forster is the most committed professional at the club, so he’s not a player who needs to be driven to improve, but we all need fresh incentives to go back to the well again, and the arrival of Craig will give Fraser fresh focus after returning from a disappointing World Cup campaign.
Welcome to Celtic, Craig.
There are around 36 CQNers already out on Aberdour Golf Course in what could be described as ‘fresh’ conditions. A great night lies ahead.
This year we are raising money for Glasgow the Caring City and The Cookiejar Foundation. We have two copies of this magnificent canvas, signed by Billy McNeill, one is available to the highest bidder on ebay here.
The other is available for raffle. Every donor to this JustGiving page gets an entry in the raffle. The minimum donation is £1, which we can all afford to participate in, although you can donate as much as you want. Our thanks to @BarryMcGonigle for the image on the canvas and OPG Graphics for creating the work.

None of them official,of course.
The fella who sells them is on the ground floor,but on the concourse.
Amongst others,I got my Heineken/Henrik top from there.
Well,actually,I didnae.
Yer oul’ pal Lorna did!

Ooooooooo sare 1 :(
Timely reminder for me.
Stopped playing 4 years ago when i was 43 because of the state of my ankle ligaments.
Felt as though i have fell to bits and plummeted downhill ever since and i have been thinking of trying to halt that decline by getting playing again!

Played at 42 years of age against Hong Kong students.
Wee cruciate ligament rupture for my troubles.
Actually did me a favour.Prevented potential cardiac arrest.
Moral of the story……………….
Grow old gracefully.
Loved this comment…
“Hooooley sheeeet!!!!!!
Ally’s lookin well.
Reminds me of the only fools episode when del turns the sunbed up after rodders falls asleep under it.
Just as well the omnishambles continues tae prevail atop the marble staircase, otherwise someone with a sliver of sense might pull ally tae one side and whisper in his ear,
‘C’mon ally, what’s wi aw the old geezers, we’re looking to be playing in the top flight next season, at this rate we’re gonna have to replace the entire squad a year or two down the line, and ye know money’s tight, every penny counts’.
Thankfully, no one’s looking that far ahead, cos no one gives a ….”
Some of this stuff is bordering on the “No one likes me, I don’t care attitude”.
Pretty boorish and hunnish behaviour if you ask me.

Even the goldfish would have that wee thing!
It is quite possibly the most adorable wee fish that i have ever seen!
Bet the thing is poisonous though and probably deadly……and as much as it is adorable…….anyone that has the misfortune to come into contact with it……will not stand a chance ;)

Today the 4th of July is notable for another reason.
It is the 75th anniversary of a very special speech by Lou Gehrig after he was told he had ALS/MND.
Have a look please.

Any reference to painful memories and experiences related to any ailment and/or disease affecting loved ones can be seen as insensitive.
