It was Back to the Future on Saturday afternoon, listening to Aberdeen rescue a point against Dundee was more like 1985 than 2015. TV highlights suggest Aberdeen pounded Dundee, but three excellent goals were enough for the visitors to set the stage for Celtic to return to the top of the league against Motherwell on Wednesday.
Aberdeen have been imperious in recent months. Incredibly, apart from Dundee and Celtic, they have failed to keep a clean sheet only once (at drubbing at Hamilton) since September. That’s title challenging form in any language.
This run is unlikely to endure as the vagaries of form and fortune catch them up, but it appears our long wait for a notional title rival looks to be over. Which is good.
Any business with operating expenses in the region of £33m a year, which is £2.75m a month or just over £600k a week, that had to borrow £500k in the first week of the month in order to pay an unexpected tax bill of the same magnitude, will by now be in urgent need of funds to pay rates, other tax liabilities, electricity and gas (no matter how little they used on Friday), while wages day is approaching. And remember, those gardens don’t ‘duty’ themselves.
Newco Rangers will need a loan, or to sell a player for cash, to avoid imminently slipping into insolvency. If Dave King is confident about carrying shareholders at a March EGM, and has the resources, he should loan the club money to get them through the next two months, no strings attached. A bit like John Keane did for Celtic in 1994. With insolvency looming, Keane, currently a Celtic director, but at the time an agitator for boardroom change, wrote a seven figure cheque, no strings attached, to pay-down Celtic’s overdraft, as the Bank of Scotland threatened to call in administrators.
Anything less than this is playing into the hands of Mike Ashley.
CQN11 St Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance is on Friday 13 March, at the Kerrydale Suite, Celtic Park. The focus of an excellent night’s entertainment will be funding the construction of a kitchen at Chibwata Primary School in Malawi, for Mary’s Meals.

Celtic step up bid to sign £2.5m-rated Dundee United midfielder Stuart Armstrong http://t.co/kMR0aDxCtE http://t.co/m9vN6AjDVK
______________
Hopefully that comes about, the huns are starting to shout that we’re skint as well and can’t afford £250,00 to close a deal.
I know, they’re hurting and I really should back off, nope I can’t.
I would love to see us sign Stuart Armstong in this window and put their p**h to sleep. As not only will he be a good signing, it means I have more ammo ;)))

I especially liked this part
The first fully retractable natural grass playing field in North America rolls out of the stadium on an 18.9 million pound tray, residing outside of the stadium except for football and soccer events :-)
Just heard that Sevco are trying to finalise a managerial sponsorship deal with the clothing store….

kdc-i actually thought the comment from McNamara was unnecessary ,it is always the case if a pre-contract is signed,the clubs try and agree a fee to get it done asap.HH

QPR winger. Used to play for Blackpool and has been capped for Scotland, although English born. Big powerful player, six foot plus
LennyBhoy, no idea.
With all these extremely well paid gardeners, you would have expected the pitch to be in a better condition than it was last Friday.
And what did CowieBhoy text you in Novemeber?
Sipsini
I have been hearing for a fortnight from my DUFC mole that Stuart will definitely be Celtic player. Now or summer is the ?
McDowall resigns now ….it just keeps getting better……..put them out of their misery, SFA FGS
Ann Kirkbride and Kenny McDowall are trending. One was a long standing member of a soap opera … the other was in Coronation Street.
“In a move that will surely do little to restore confidence among the hun hordes,
John “Capability” Brown is to be unveiled as the new head man at asbestox…”.
Alan Titshmarch next for the Huns.
It”s all starting to kick off now….

lennybhoy-he looked good a couple of years ago when Blackpool were in EPL.
Puts a whole new meaning on the term ” hedge funds ” :-)
McDowall resigning for family reasons ….mmmmmmmm
