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.
We are busy pulling the next issue of CQN Magazine together, if you would like to advertise, let me know. The Magazine has incredible reach and offers an excellent opportunity to showcase your brand of company (see below). Enquiries to the usual addres……. Thanks.

I also received a response from ASA today
“We are already investigating this advertisement and your complaint will be added to our file…”

Aye, family all doing well.
Weather just the same as Scotland from what I can gather. Spent 3 hours digging our cars out yesterday after the snow abaited. Funny thing is, my work is no more than 3 miles away on the coast and there is absolutely no snow here at all, but we have about 4 foot of it at the house which is up in the hills.
Getting ready to brave it again now. 3 miles on friday in the snow took just under 2 hours but I think with traffic haven been on the road over the weekend it should be a lot better now.

I used to visit the Wayside Club and Kirkhaven and the Talbot Centre when I worked at Minerva Street DHSS,
Quite a place, impressed to hear it is still on the go…
A donation will surely follow

Replied. I’ll get it this week and email you when I do.

My source inside the bolloxdome has passed me the following memo:
From: Shilpit, Chancer & Jakey, Solicitors
To: Charles ‘funboy’ Green
Charles, we note with concern that you quote our advice re: entry into foreign leagues as ‘…like a Bosman..’
Our stated position is that you are talking a pile of baws man!
With regard to your request to examine the contract of the oldest young manager in the game, we can confirm that his contract is tighter than a penguin’s chuff in a blizard. Nae luck!
Mort – have replied. No panic mate. You’re doing me the favour!
Let me know before you go so I can make sure it’s still there.
thanks again.

Do you recall Roy ‘that’s not the game we’re in!’ Brown?
‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’
No, mate, it was 79-86, long time ago…
The one person who remains in my memory is the priest who looked after the Talbot Centre – Fr. Luke, was all I ever knew him by, but quite a man
I looked after claims from guys in all the hostels and night shelters
The people who think they tune in to the dead

all seem vaguely familiar
Celtic in the English Conference – Dermot Desmond and Denis O’Brien must have nearly choked on their prime Irish beef when they read this nonsense.
These are major league businessmen and their ambitions are surely aimed a little higher than the ENGLISH CONFERENCE. One thing for certain we could wave good-bye to our much vaunted worldwide fanbase if we plumbed these depths.
There’s still almost a week to April 1st.
From what I’ve seen this season the current Celtic squad would hold their own with the majority of teams in the EPL. Any word yet on the Quatar Super League – now that’s the path Dermot and Denis would have in mind.

I heard the Qatar league was a hoax…
Yorkbhoy……..Maybe, but you could also say there’s no smoke without fire.

Strummer Easter vigils must take place during the hours of darkness so probably earliest one will be about 7 or 7:30.
Not sure how yu got a 6 o’clock Easter vigil last year, was it a Catholic one :))
Yes sir it was……Father Despard at St. John Ogilvie’s Church Blantyre…….
Hear that Sally is trying to sign a German Flipping Bear on a free:

Perhaps it’s just recognition that you bought a ticket for the semi and IMO should be first in line for a ticket for the final in May, hope so :>)
Personally speaking I’ve just about given up on Scottish football and won’t be going to ham dump.

Compliments of the day.
Feast of the Asssumption.
*you mean the Annunciation
Today is the feast day of St Chuck of the Bizarre Announcement.
Known for his single-minded adherence to the most patently stupid postulations of the day. This led him to condemn Columbus as he contradicted Chuck’s notion of the world being shaped like a soup bowl.
He also condemned bumble bees as heretics because, as any bar bore knows, they can’t fly and are just taking the piss.
Chuck wasn’t canonised directly, he purchased the title from St Craig of the Goggly Eyes.
Chuck is the patron of pundits, flymen and bullshit merchants everywhere.
