Dundee are nine points adrift at the bottom of the SPL but made a good fist of it against Celtic last night, after a rocky start. They held their own for a good 30 minutes either side of the interval. They are clearly the worst team in the league but they are a pretty decent worst team. Armageddon-SPL is strong at the bottom end.
You and I know the Celtic support, as a group and to any statistically significant level, are vastly better behaved than any supporters of any other large football club. This is a source of enormous pride but comes at a cost. Over 20 years later you will still hear about fruit thrown by one idiot, I do. This is a good thing. It means that there has been little to talk about these past 20 years.
When you benefit from the greatest reputation in football you are held to the highest standards. No one will blame Chelsea fans when we drop the ball. I’ve heard no reports of damage or injury at Dens last night, but 20 years from now someone will tell you what was said by a representative of Dundee today. This will be a good thing.

Gretnabhoy:
And when Montrose dared to print the truth they are intimidated into a grovelling apology.
And not a word from the Scottish Media except to demand a just a wee bit more grovelling.

I got that message via twitter
Ps I’ve seen the flares in action and I’m 100% against because they get handed around when lit, usually end up in the hands of someone who hasn’t a clue and gets thrown onto the park, often they just hit someone else in the crowd, I’m against.

Kano got sick one night, very sick. If it was not for so many Celtic Supporters, from so many places, then Kano would be an ornament in a sterile hospital room. That is not nice because Kano still breathes and he still thinks and he is still a Celtic Supporter to his very core.
A lot of money, by a lot of people, was raised to take Kano home. He can’t ever balance the books, but he’d love to.
None of us gets more than one go on the roundabout of life.
Celtic is celebrating their 125th Birthday and indelibly stamping it into their history by encouraging all to embrace the simple ethos of the clubs founding… let’s try and help those who just don’t have more than the air that they breathe.
A lot of Celtic Supporters are doing a lot of different things to raise money for to help those less fortunate than ourselves. To a lot of people that is no big deal.
I’m determined to help Kano pay back the kindness shown to him by the Celtic Support by supporting my club to help unfortunates. No big deal.
There are some from here who have said they will help me to help Kano to help Celtic to help others.
I give up the bevie for 125 days and I give up posting on here for 125 days as of the 1st Jan.. No big deal really, Kano has done both for the best part of four years.
I ‘m going to put a wee bit aside for each day that I don’t drink or post and forward it to Celtic to hopefully fill a belly that needs a feed or to make an unfortunate hope where only darkness is their dawn.(but maybe I can have St. Pat’s day off so I can share a day with some good Tims)
I’ve only one life and when I’m gone I soon be forgotten but if I’ve ever managed to feed one hungry person, if only for one day, then my life was worth something.
No big deal to me or you but the person I fed, he/she will never know where the food came from and they won’t ever be visiting my grave to put some pretty flowers at the base of a head-stone, they’ll be too busy worrying about tomorrow.
I can live with that and like Kano, once I’m gone, I’ll know that I never changed the world, hardly left a mark, but still I took to Celtic and I did something to try and ease the pain of others… sort of the Celtic way.

Best post of the last 24hrs!! Wouldn’t be hard I know with some of the nonsense that certain posters have been spouting! Good Luck!
MWD – Yes
BT got it mo chara.

Lennybhoy….. At £1.75m the boy will be a replacement for somebody.
The boy is highly thought of in south American football and through the international youth ranks amhas shine! I believe at u16 level he had scored 23 goals in 14 matches.
I’d have thought he’d be out our reach
I will forward p67 details soon

I do not condone the use of flares or any form of firework at a football match by supporters.
The message put out by the Disabled Celtic Supporters association is of the greatest importance and should be read and digested by all Celtic supporters who should then cease the use of these at games immediately. However you assumed a message that you hadn’t previously seen or heard of had been ignored by a section of our support wen in fact that message may or may not have been read/seen by those using fireworks.

HT, not too bad, thanks – quiet xmas made quieter by sticking the head on a dancefloor mirror on works night out – so missed the xmas 5’s night out – bummer !

Ye I’d read about it. I’d prefer the flares, smokes and this blinkin things that make the loud bangs and scare the beejeesus out of me were stopped if I’m being honest.

Three Celtic players were subject to what you described as ‘booing’ in the first half.
Wilson, Wanyama and Ambrose.
Now apart from the colour of their strip what else do they have in common??
Celtic Mac

Good morning CQN.
“Now stop being a sanctamonious git and back up your allegations of sectarian references
you so heard on live TV.” (sic)
Watching Setanta Oz (and listening) I heard a rendition of The Billy Boys just after kickoff, followed by booing (?) as Efe Ambrose surged forward with the ball.
Does that count?
Spikey
Now that made me laugh!!!
Still doing Thursday’s but have been a bit selective over the last while just because I’ve been too busy.
MWD
First I had seen that particular appeal, but this is not the first time there has been an appeal from the Disabled Celtic Supporters regading flares.

You could try Baccus in Glassford St sometimes the games are on live worth a visit on the way to the Gallowgate HH
Belated merry Christmas to all.
Flares??? Is that the reference to a throwback to the seventies?
Minx1888:
Thanks… I think.
People in years to come are going to reflect back on what Celtic tried to do this year, I’ll be long gone, I will be just another one of the Celtic Supporters who tried to endear the Celtic spirit to history.
Sofa- £25k+ -is that a record ?;)
Vmhan – I did thanks had a great time with my bhoys, got spoiled rotten, so they have bought some time off the naughty step!! Hope you and yours had a good one x
MWD-I read it on here last week mate.
James Forrest out of game tomorrow. Minor hamstring problem

merry xmas BT ! i can assure you i’m not as daft as I’d like to be ;-) life’s too tame at our age ! even a mid-life crisis would be relatively boring.
Lennybhoy-ta,is there a no 10 on the list?
Nicola Castillo ?
Confused by stories linking him with Celtic . Napoli media outlets and Napoli supporters websites had him signing for Napoli for a fee of 10 million Euros . I read quotes in which he talked of his delight at being able to play in the same team as the wondrous Cavani.
A few FACTS about Nicolás Castillo.
His first name is Nicolás, not Nicola, which is a lassie’s name (except in Italy).
He was born on February 14 , 1993, St Valentine’s Day. One of several places where alleged relics of St Valentine are at rest is Blessed John Duns Scotus’ church in the Gorbals. Hmmm.
Wee Nicolás’s current club is Universidad Católica, which was Sebastián Rozental’s club before (and after) he spent three years at the Deady Bears, scoring very nearly a goal a year for them. The name of his club in Chile prompted Scotland’s MSM to write a tear-jerking account of how much wee Seb’s Jewish faith meant to him while he was out injured (fair play to the player, but I mean, come on, do the MSM think our heids button up the back?).
Nicolás Castillo’s first goal for Universidad Católica came on March 2 this year against a team called Rangers de Talca.
The talcum powder Teddy Bears (still alive) play in the Maule region of Chile and were relegated in 2009 for breaches in the regulations regarding fielding players from outside Chile. Their main rival is a cracking wee team called O’Higgins. Mon the Higgy Bhoys.
pauloantony 11:53:
You are most probably right, that he will eventually be a replacement for somebody but his signing is not dependent on anybody leaving. However, I would not be surprised if Miku’s loan spell is prematurely ended in January, nothing to do with footballing reasons.
On whether Castillo is out with our reach, that is another argument but he is very highly rated by our Scouts. You could argue others that did sign were also out with our reach. Castillo is 19, same age as Wanyama. The latter’s value has rocketed, from what we have witnessed this season I would have said he was out of our reach. After watching Vic in a couple of games I came to the conclusion we would not hang on to him.
We trust in our Scouts, we trust Neil, Castillo fits our signing policy.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Mulgrew Matthews Commons Forrest Ledley all out tomorrow

Your last post on the live updates from Dens Park and you made no mention of the racial chanting you are supposed to have heard and no other poster has mentioned same on the live updates
I am not saying that it never happened but i never heard it probably as I spent most of the game stepping out the road of falling and staggering drunks
Can you explain to me why it took till after the Celtic Fc apology to Dundee for the issue to be highlighted and then only on a blog
Juve tickets ridiculous prices for non ST holders IMO
Standard season ticket holders will then have the opportunity to purchase two additional tickets for this match from 9.30am on Thursday, January 17. Tickets will be available at the general sale prices – from £49 adults and from £30 concessions – and will be available online, on 0871 226 1888* (Option 1, Option 1) or by visiting the Ticket Office at Celtic Park
Mickybhoy1888
I hadn’t been on CQN until last night. That was my first opportunity to highlight the racist chants aimed at the 3 Celtic players.
What are you suggesting?
SoT-Cavani was linked with Chelsea and Man C the other day,a replacement maybe?
