I was pleased Hearts won last night as all season I’ve been telling people we will win the league by double figures. Dropping the ball on Wednesday night put that in jeopardy but the gap is back to 12 points ahead of the visit of Motherwell on Sunday.
Ronny is likely to deploy more first choice players for his final game as Celtic manager against a Motherwell team who staged a remarkable recovery after a dreadful 2015, which would have seem them relegated if it weren’t for the huge gap between Premiership and Championship.
It looked like farewell from Emilio on Wednesday but you have to expect a few more will possibly make their final competitive appearances in the hoops this weekend.
I see a “Five-in-a-row but Peter Lawwell just cannot win” article in The Scotsman. Aye, fair enough, but the article ploughs into the Resolution 12 guys, and accuses other Celtic fans of “breathtaking hypocrisy”.
It appears to imply Financial Fair Play rules are not applied elsewhere in Europe (citing Atletico Madrid), so there should be no issues with the rules not applying to Rangers in 2011. I don’t follow Spanish club licencing too closely, but you will remember Malaga being banned by Uefa for having “overdue payables” to the Spanish tax authorities.
The rules ARE applied, clubs are banned from European competition for overdue payables.
I’ve been in touch with both the Res 12 guys and Celtic on this matter this morning (they continue to work together on a daily basis). It’s fair to say both robustly rejected the tone in the article. I don’t know how this matter will end, but it will not be decided at Hampden, or in a newspaper office – cards marked one more time.
Zlatan on ending his stay at PSG, “I came like a king, I leave like a legend”. And then some.

The Sun was not ‘lied to by trusted sources’.
The Sun had an agenda to fulfil, and they waded out, chequebook in hand, to offer freelances and small news agencies big bucks to prop that agenda up.
“Here’s the line we want – bottom it for us and you’ll be quids in – and we won’t forget you in future.”
So many reporters I knew working in agencies or smaller papers would have sold their grannies to be well thought of at The Sun.
The Sun formula for success was: Write the headline, do the dress-up, then go and buy the “facts” to back it up.
It is impossible to over-estimate the power that The Sun and NOTW had at that time.
Hence the Leveson Inquiry.
The agenda? Geoffrey Howe in 1981 advised Thatcher to “leave the stony ground of Liverpool to managed decline”.

Have Celtic came out strongly against Andrew smiths garbage today?
Thought not. It’s fine to attack Celtic supporters according to the board.

Do not renew your season books.

Just a thought. Since some people log onto CQN in the evening/ nights and for those in different time zones it might be an idea to repeat as necessary the link for donating to press advertisements regarding Res 12.
You (plural) have set a very short timespan for raising the money but the date chosen is excellent with resonance of May 1967.
I have contributed via CQN magazine site but preferred to do it
anonymously. Hopefully the funding will be in place and the advertisement help to change the dynamic. HH
I’d like to see hibs go through tonight, the penalty decision was a disgrace, may justice prevail…mon the hibees.
Neganon, this is probably the last few months of my life. Don’t you fucking tell me that I shouldn’t renew my season ticket.
I’ll take a red card for this happily. Clown!
For 5 mins there I honestly thought I was getting to watch a Scottish football match on a Bury St Edmunds pub…then the barman switched over to Sheffield Wednesday v Brighton…
Anyway, I think Liam Henderson should return to Celtic as a first team starter, for no other reason than he seems to be able to take a corner.
bliddy talkin to myself again,
i was expecting huge compliments about my PAY WHAT YOU CAN idea.
nae wunner Peter feels unappreciated.

IF its from Paypal, they always mention your name…….as in…..hello McPhailbhoy whereas the scammers will address you as…..dear customer……or something like that, but yeah, i agree…..it can be a worry.

I think Hibs will go through.
I also think most Celtic fans who are interested in the game would like Hibs to go through. Many have a soft spot for Hibs. I don`t feel this sentiment is returned by Hibees re us!

Not contributed for a few years, but still an avid reader…..felt I needed to highlight that I have just paid into the crowd funding re Resolution 12 advertising…..we are moving to west Donegal this summer and have been communicating with JP Taylor, as I am keen to maintain mine and my 2 young bhoys unbroken history of season ticket holding, but R12 was a real issue for me…..time to stand up and be counted….forever and ever……..go on, worth a tenner!

Please do not allow someone’s excessive demands on those of us who just want to support our team upset or distress you. Some people just get carried away and have no thoughts for others when hammering away at a keyboard.
The decision whether to renew ST is a personal one.
With much respect. HH
2015-05-24: Celtic 5-0 Inverness CT, SP
Celtic have won the double of 1) League and 2) League Cup.
Celtic finally handed the league trophy. Celebrations galore.
Trophies delivered onto pitch by Ronny Deila’s twin daughters.
Trophy presented by ex-Celt Harald Brattback.
Only 17 goals conceded in the league, so quite a record, and a Scottish record low of some sorts.
Lots of plaudits for Scott Brown as many acknowledging his value to the first team this season, and throughout his time at the club.
Congratulations to Craig Gordon on being named Scottish Football Writers’ Player of the Year.
Celtic development side win SFA Youth Cup with 5-2 win in the final v Sevco. Great result, congrats. Scott Brown on sidelines coaching the youth.
Memorial held for Peter Johnstone, ex-Celt who died in WW1 as a soldier. A monument/statue revealed in his memory.

My three nominations for Celtic manager would be in no particular order.
Jorge Sampaoli
Marcelo Bielsa
Guus Hiddink
Any of those three would have me genuinely excited, however I would be happy enough with either Brendan or Roy.
Hail Hail.

Indeed but sooner than preferred the option to renew will be removed from me.
How dare that clown dare to tell me what to do when it comes to supporting one of the great loves of my life.

Ps…plus they wear green ;))

You have express the point which I was trying to make much better than I in my rather hamfisted way. No one should try to dictate to others to stop buying a season ticket or attending Celtic Park.
Some advocating a boycott have argued a case cogently but others, well, more a poor script from some second rate Ealing comedy at best.
However, no one should be trying to take away from you your enjoyment.
Without trying to be sanctimonious you and your family remain in my prayers and I wish your days to be happy ones. HH

Ex-Celt Joe Ledley’s dad didn’t go watch Joe Ledley today for Crystal Palace … He came to see Celtic instead. Respect to him.
Kris Commons little son picked his nose and ate the bogey whilst his dad was doing his post-match interview during the celebrations.
Very sad news this week. A few days prior to this match, the wonderful Oscar Knox died at just the age of five. He was a wee bhoy from Ulster who was suffering from recurring Cancer over a few years, and he very much touched all our hearts and was a genuine inspiration to all. He touched everyone’s hearts, and the Celtic support all fell in love with the wee bhoy. RIP
Players wear black armbands at match in honour of Wee Oscar Knox. Applause & YNWA by support for the young bhoy, and plenty of memories with Shirts paraded in his honour by fans & players.
World Cup starting soon, no Scotland. It’s in Brazil this time. Fraser Forster picked for England squad for Brazil, big success for him.
Kris Commons is football writers’ player of year.
Neil Lennon resigned as manager on 22 May 2014, making this his last game as Celtic manager.

Just contributed my tenner to the Res 12 crowd funded advert. I applaud P67 and CQN on talking the lead on this crucial issue. And applause too to Peter Lawwell if Celtic are supporting this. I’ve always had him pegged as an Old Firm sympathiser, but I’d be delighted if he proved me wrong. It’s time….
As for Andrew Smith, eat you know what!
South of Tunis
It is indeed. The smallest pub in Britain, or so I’m told. Haven’t ventured I’m yet…it’s a bit of a squeeze in there. Plenty of great pubs in this town in general – very much enjoyed being here since my move from the big smoke!
Just wondering if the DR and the Daily hun feel a bit let down as they werent allowed to run the story on resolution 12,,,,…..guess thats us in the bad books wi them after giving the story to the Guardian and swiss paper……..they could have made a few bob out of the advert……..guess the DR thinks investigating big Mike is more important for their hun readership.
