Several news outlets are running with our name attached to a prediction that we will join one other club in the English football structure within five years. This prediction is little more than background noise and is not indicative of any initiative or plan. A Scottish club cannot ‘buy’ an English club, relocated them and work their way through the leagues without the prior permission of both the Scottish and English FAs.
The notion of clubs buying clubs is not worthy of your attention and you should none of this ‘information’ should be used to support share valuations.
Celtic’s future is inextricably linked to the futures of Scotland’s other senior clubs, all of whom need to plan for their futures. Background noise like this only makes creating the environment necessary to fulfil those plans more difficult.
The Wayside Club in Glasgow has been serving the homeless and destitute for 80 years. It survives exclusively by charitable donations and is the only homeless resource in Glasgow which is open 365 days a year, offering food, non-alcoholic drink, showers, a hair-cut, shaving facility, first aid and a friendly face to those living on the very brink of existence. For its patrons, it is an oasis of normality in a harsh and cold world.
To raise funds they are having an 80th Anniversary Gala Dinner at the Hilton in Glasgow on Saturday, 27th April. Individual tickets are available for £50 each, with tables of 10 also available. If you would like to attend email me, celtiquicknews@gmail.com, and I’ll put you in touch with inspirational volunteer, Tom Boyd senior.
If you can’t make it along to the night you can support the Wayside Club by donation at their VirginMoneyGiving page.
I know the generosity of CQN readers does not need to be stated but my sincere thanks to everyone who participated in the auction for a bottle of whisky yesterday. A stunning £1901 was raise. Nippy.

Over the last twenty five years I have visited, stayed, worked been employed and lived in London.
These events in total would take up around 20% of my time.
So I have a good insight into the development in London from a locals perspective and an outsider, being a Scot gives me another perspective also.
I could write a book on the subject.
But I will make one point, there is always a huge debate about the money Scotland brings into the UK GDP and how much it takes from Westminsters coffers.
As long as I can remember there is always huge investment going on in London that is somehow looked on as private enterprise or for the greater good of the Nation rather than spend on London.
Examples will be…
Canary Wharf.
A private development, but was given huge incentives in terms of tax breaks, compulsory purchase etc.
The limehouse link was themost expensive road ever built at the time and they built a state of the art Jubilee line as well as the docklands light rail way.
Huge public investment by the U K government to ensure London is the Global Financial Capital.
Also the Millenium Dome, a competition was run to see which UK City got to build the main event for 2000, it was won by Birmingham. The idea was taken from Birmingham to Greenwich to reinvigorate a declining partof London.
The Olympics likewise huge redevlopment of Stratford and the surronding areas.
T5 at Heathrow recently finished but redevelopment still going on.
The Cross-rail link being built at present for Billions of pounds and of course the proposed Fast rail link to Birmingham and beyond. This is sold as a project for the North of Britain but it’s not, it’s for London. Why would they not be proposing to link Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow now rather than start with London.
As I said it would be nice to know how much really has been spent on Londoncentric infrastructure, vastly more than the rest of the UK put together I’d wager.
warmer snow back on in ek .:-(
Just a question–why do you think Greenland is called Greenland? Is Iceland greener than Greenland?
