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.

Oldtim,
On the blog of 8th Or 9th February, Paul included an image which has a graphic of the cyclists route, and from looking at this, it appears that the cyclists are taking a ferry from the south of England to the north of Spain….unless they are crossing the channel on pedaloes . ;-) This might explain the difference in the distance.
Still a massive and awe-inspiring undertaking from these Bhoys, and worthy of a huge amount of respect.

I agree; it’s still good that it has been under consideration though. Maybe next time!

Good evening, friends
Mind the Gap
There appears to be a gap in the article in today’s Evening Times by Tom Torrance.
February 14 2012: Rangers enter administration
June 2012: Charles Green buys Rangers assets
July 2012: Premier League clubs reject Rangers’ bid to stay in SPL forcing the club into the bottom tier of Scottish football

A great moment.
The “We Are The People” triumphalists, the self-proclaimed “Second Largest Scottish Institution” – they might not be dead yet but they’ve taken one hell of a blow – perhaps the first stage of a mortal blow.
Whatever happens, things will never be the same again.
It’s not just about the fitba either.
Every person who has been at the wrong end – or has had a family member at the wrong end – of a “What school did you go to” type of question for the last hundred years or so, should be rejoicing right now.
The Scottish Establishment has suffered a blow today, from which they will never recover in the sense that they will become something different.
Ian Archer once said that they were a permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace.
Well the embarrassment felt by their own followers – right now, today, no matter how much expected it may have been – will be MONUMENTAL.

Listen guys can you all simmer down. I know for a fact that the huns will never ever be allowed to go bust. It will quite simply not be allowed to happen. Dont any of you forget the huns are Scottish football.
HT,
You’re right about Fr Campbell. His one fault is that he isn’t interested in the Celtic……………
Barry – Rangers (sic) are one of the best clubs around for a manager.
Wilson defending the greatest club on the planet.
Dick Wilson on RS tryin his best to make the magic tat the villain.
Now Brentford had issues with him…….fec**n brill.
Reporting Scotland have a report from Grampian, where the council have planted trees on a public football pitch.
Reporter says, “they are playing tree up front”:-)
I thought it was funny..

‘I’m all for new supporters clubs, do not know if Celtic actually encourages them,’

I think it would encourage one from Bearsden/Mingavie.
Now Wilson defending King on the £18m. Embarrassing.
Dick Wilson batting away for his heroes on Shortbread…..laughable…
The BBC’s Dave King correspondent staunchly defending his man. It was that pesky Englanders fault.
Barry ‘Finance guru’ Ferguson now givin his take….Is he Donald ?

Sevco drew 0-0 with the trees in a 60 minute bounce game today.

Haven’t read back but are we not 20-0 in domestic cup ties this season?
5-0, 2-0, 1-0, 3-0 in league cup
3-0, 6-0 in Scottish cup

Would that be Father Kenny, glasses, red hair?
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Lennybhoy
Kenny was in same year as me at John Ogilvie
for what its worth,
an agent appears to have had a conversation with rangers board. in it he says if a number of conditions happen then will you waive any compensation. board say yes. agent unable to make those conditions happen. tells board. board say thanks but we accept previous negotiation as notice of intention to resign irrespective of conditional basis. see ya.
can the trio rely on that conditional basis? is looking for another job and asking what the terms of any release would be amount to notice of intention to resign?
would you and your 2 colleagues collectively put yourself in a position where you can be said to have left a job without having something to go to?
richard wilson believes when you begin such a discussion you should pack your bags. dont know if the law does.
Perhaps the plan will be to (reluctantly) settle out of court with Mr Warburton etc when they have got their paws on the SB money?
In the interim the salaries are off the payroll and confusion abounds. If they are that short of funds and can’t stretch to a severance payment?
Limp along with a Interim Coach or appoint a Ibrox Legend with about four months ‘Lying Time’ until they have cash?
Who knows
Billy Bhoy, :-)
I thought he was a bit of a plank when they signed him.
I think they should go for Ian Cathro. Boyd and Craigen would spontaneously combust live on BT.

Dont any of you forget the huns are Scottish football.
More than that, mr. Reaper.
They ARE Scotland. As wee Eck might say ‘the very fabric of society’.

Fatty Boyd – “Davies is a winner”.
Errr, what has he won exactly?
KC VIC,
I expect such discussions were based on hypothetical scenarios, and since the management team were not in discussion with potential future employers, hypothetical can be the only description that applies, no ?
BLANTYRETIM IS PRAYING FOR THE KNOX FAMILY on 13TH FEBRUARY 2017 7:12 PM
Just wondering if it was the same Fr. Campbell, he Baptised my Bhoy, just curious as Parkheadcumsalford posted he wasn’t in to Celtic. Fr. Kenny ain’t in to football.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Boyd gets something right – “that’s not Rangers”……
Lennybhoy,
No. Fr JOHN Campbell. He’s a native of Dumbarton.
Awe Naw-genius that fella
Rangers are still rebuilding the business…..
