I haven’t checked my facts here, so I could be wrong, but I reckon the last time we scored seven goals (against St Mirren) we lost the very next game (against the same opposition). If we can deduce anything from this two point observation it is that teams rebounding from an embarrassing defeat are more dangerous than teams on the crest of a great result.
Celtic will have been flowing in training this week whereas Motherwell will have re-examined every aspect of their club, team and tactics after their cup exit to Albion Rovers. If we produce a similar performance and result to the one we achieved at Tynecastle last week it will be an outstanding achievement.
Would like to see Biton and Mulgrew play in similar central roles tonight.
Many thanks to those who bid on the charity auction for lunch at Cinc Sentis in Barcelona. Highest bid is currently £82, if you’re going out next week, treat yourself………
“The question though is why the near obsession for the club’s history?
I don’t think there is a need for me to repeat the already well-trodden road of our club’s history and culture. In my opinion, I feel that it centres on the roots of the club……. that the club was formed to serve a community but grew to be far much more than that. It’s not about a business, a result, customers or a tournament. We view it as people with the supporters at its heart, something that is being lost at most other large clubs.”

Need to go off now. Thanks for engaging even if we may not agree.
Motherwell have lost 5 of their last 8 matches in all competitions.
Sorry guys but I had to share this – was watching some pressure pad nonesense on BBC there and they said complete the name of the famous painting “the girl with the pearl……..”
The guy answers “‘necklace” – then obviously realises what he said!
Brilliant!
Oops, should have been 225,000 shares! Need to learn to read things properly first!

those were examples and not a definative list.
And yes i would add Pope John Paul or any church leader to that list of public figures.
The place to respect church leaders or religous leaders is in churches or respective places of worship.
Not football grounds.

From facekmt twitter.
Minty’s signature has been seen on the RFC/Ticketus contract arranged by Craigy.#Legit
————————–
Murray used ticketus in the past when the banks started turning the screw on deadco.
He obviously directed his scapegoat ( our hero) to use them, just can’t see him being stupid enough to implicate himself with a signature.
Hope your right, as he has still came out smelling of roses, rather than s—e that the hun fool eyes should realise.
I would love nothing more than his deviance to come to the fore.
If John Wayne was still alive he’d be 106 and more than likely driving a mobility scooter.

Correct. And I do.

Catholic Club in Chester great place to see Celtic games. Former PP great friend of mine. When on business in the area number of years ago I asked him if it would be possible to see Celtic play them somewhere in town His reply was in the Catholic Club and to prove it he took me to the club the night before the game. No one around except the club manager. As I started to speak to him I realised I was in the right place…big picture of Neil Lennon behind the bar.
I think there were nearly 200 fans in the bar the night of the game and we beat them. Great club, great number of fans from the surrounding area in that night.

Kitalba which of our current squad do you think has improved the most this season? Which of our U-20,s do you think has the potential to break into the 1st team? Hail Hail Hebcelt

Hi Guys,
Just thinking on Mandela’s struggle against Apartheid and colour discrimination which ran well into the later part of the last century.
Much has been said about the fact that the City of Glasgow took steps to recognise Mandela whilst still in prison and earlier I posted the Corries recording of “Rivonia” the Hamish Henderson song about Mandela ‘s imprisonment.
I have just been watching the television which was reminding me that there were no black MP’s in the 80’s and that there was extreme colour prejudice in this country until not so long ago.
Yet, our own club were prepared to field a black or coloured footballer as far back as the 30’s at a time when that was absolutely unheard of.
Celtic played an Indian player before they fielded an Italian player– and coming from Scotland that is quite a significant step.
The full story is repeated in this years annual by the way.
Makes you think.

This may be tiresome to do but…
For the avoidance of doubt, I do want a better goal-scoring centre forward at Celtic.
My only beef is that I am only convinced we have that type of forward when he scores goals regularly for us rather than be convinced we have him based on the size of the fee we paid for him.
Aruna Kone cost Everton £5m,
Villa bought Libor Kozak for something close to that
Cardiff bought Cornelius for £8m
Hull bought Yannick Sagbo for a biggish fee
Liverpool paid nearly £8m for Aspas
Man City paid £22m for Steven Jovetic
All these have scored fewer league goals than Teemo Pukki
row Z I think I,ve fixed it? Hail Hail Hebcelt
Don’t promote local kids, don’t take them on the books, it’s not tax savvy or so I was told. Better to waste millions on prospects that couldn’t hit a frekin barn door the size of Scotland.
Is my glass half full. what a stupid pathetic statement.
Think about it.
He ho half full – half empty – that is the be all and end all of existence.
Feckin tin foi me now fer am am nae wothty
