One for the historians, has any team won the Scottish and League Cups in the same season without conceding a goal? So far this season, Celtic are 15 goals without reply in the cup competitions, with a possible three fixtures remaining, the first of which is at Celtic Park against St Mirren three weeks from now.
Brendan Rodgers described the remaining Scottish Cup games as “three cup finals”. I’ll mark his card, there is only one cup final to worry about and that’s the game against St Mirren. Plan beyond that and you risk a slip.
Lesser teams than them have eliminated us from cups in recent seasons, and the Paisley club have dumped us out twice recently. Any Celtic fan who has considered the possibility of a treble before will know how this story often ends too well.
There are various ways to reach the top of the managerial pyramid. Accounts is the most common path, join the finance team and you get an oversight on most important areas. Legal is another fertile field to progress to the top from.
Some technical people make it, especially in retail or engineering. Few get there from marketing, HR or IT. No one gets there from public relations, that’s a departmental dead end.
Of course, a PR monkey can hope to become the de facto decision maker, with his/her hands on all the necessary levers. I can think of only one case like this. The company/club concerned have not had a good week. They’ve not even had good PR.
Blane Valley / Bearsden and Milngavie areas
As most fans will be aware, Glasgow City Council are introducing parking restrictions within 1 mile of Celtic park from August. A group of Celtic supporters in the Blane Valley / Bearsden and Milngavie area are trying to organise a supporters bus that will go from the villages in the area (Drymen, Balfron, Buchlivie, Killearn, Blanefield and Milngavie/Bearsden).
If you would be interested in travelling to / from Celtic Park on a supporters bus from next season can you drop an email to BlanevalleyCSC@hotmail.com, with your name.

Good morning Fellow Celts!
Have been reading some French media outlets to see what they think of our Moussa. For sure they laud Ousmane Dembele of Dortmund a lot more but that goes with the territory. Here’s a snippet from L’Equipe, interesting to see they refer to us as ‘The Catholic Club’ and still talk of the O** F*** Sorry for long-ish post.
‘One more triple for Moussa Dembélé with Celtic!
French striker Moussa Dembélé signed a new hat-trick with Celtic, in the Cup against Inverness.
Moussa Dembélé is going through a period of splendor. (The Team)
Moussa Dembélé is definitely in good shape right now. The French striker scored three goals for Saint Johnstone last week (5-2) on Celtic’s Scottish Cup final on Saturday (8th). All in just … 14 minutes!
The Catholic club had already opened the scoring against Inverness when the PSG-trained player struck before the break (2-0, 45th). He recurred to the return of the locker room (3-0, 50th) and before the hour of play (4-0, 59th), signing a remarkable hat-trick. Replaced in the 82nd, Dembélé was unable to take part in the two other goals scored by his formation, winner – very easy (6-0).
This is his third hat-trick of the season, after the one he made against Saint Johnstone, and especially when the Old Firm faced the big rival, the Glasgow Rangers (5-1, September 10). Dembélé has already scored 26 goals this season with the Scottish club in all competitions.’

Happy 5th Anniversary of Admin Day, (unexited, of course).
Thanks for the book recommendation. Don’t know his music too well, but that’s a beautiful song. Given what you told us about your holiday, I’m surprised you found time to read!
Anyhow, when you’re next away, I’ve recently enjoyed the second novel by Graeme Macrae Burnet, “His Bloody Project”, so you can give that a go. And, if your a Roth fan, you’ve probably read it, but I’d never read ‘Nemesis’ till recently, and thought it was superb.
Great effort in that last post on the moderator front, by the way! Could be in with a shout, depending on his/her mood. I’d quote what I last got done for, but then you’d not get this reply!
Hail! Hail!
BSR – big Roy.

Beautiful passage of play last night from Citeh at Bournemouth. 44 passes, most of them in the opposition half, without a Bournemouth player touching the ball, culminate in a Sterling cross being poorly cleared, Sanè picks it up, beats his man and cracks it off the bar.
All goes unremarked by Alan Parry and his sidekick, big Quinn, apart from the final shot. What, are they too busy tweeting their followers to maybe, I dunno, explain how David Silva can find so much space against an energetic Bournemouth team, or how great De Bruyne’s movement is?
Commentator. . . The clue’s in the name.
Funny.

Answer shortly – so keep the guesses comin
There are some people who should consider a career in stand up comedy rather than sports journalism.

FFS,don’t mention the People’s strip. It was like a psychedelic nightmare that someone threw up on.
It’s Tommy Burns or Paul McStay
