Two things to cover today but important item first…
Mark Cameron, from the John Thomson Memorial Committee has been in touch to invite you to participate in the Ballymote to Glasgow Cycle next month to commemorate and promote our club’s important origins. I know there are several enthusiastic cyclists in our community so I hope you can participate in this magnificent venture. Message on the trip reads:
“Ballymote – Glasgow Cycle
As a supporters lead project to promote the charitable origins of the club we will be cycling from Brother Walfrid’s home in Ballymote, Co Sligo to Celtic Park to coincide with the clubs first domestic game in the clubs 125th year. The cycle will commence on Thursday 8th November and arrive at Celtic Park in time for the St Johnstone league match on Sunday November 11th.
We are seeking volunteers to take part in the cycle and raise funds for Celtic Charity Fund’s “1254125” campaign.
Draft Itinerary:
Leave CP after Barcelona game on Nov 7th
Travel overnight to arrive in Ballymote 09.30 Nov 8th
Thursday cycle 40 miles
Friday cycle 75 miles
Saturday am cycle 25 miles then Belfast – Cairnryan ferry
Saturday pm cycle 35 miles
Sunday cycle 50 miles arriving at CP prior to St Johnstone game on November 11th
There will be overnight accommodation on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
In order to meet deadlines for ferry and to ensure we are cycling in daylight hours we need to be cycling consistently at 15 mph. As most of the cycling will be on road then a racer / road bike would be better than mountain bike.
In addition to the cyclists we are looking for a couple of volunteers for support drivers (first aid experience would be an advantage) who will travel along the route with the cyclists and assist as necessary.
If you want any more information then please get in touch by emailing johnthomson31@live.co.uk.”
On other matters……
Most of Celtic’s international players will arrive back in Scotland today and return to training tomorrow and Friday ahead of Saturday’s lunchtime kick off against St Mirren. They will fly to Barcelona on Sunday and have a full day training on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League game.
We know Scott Brown is injured and Neil Lennon will surely take no chances in Paisley with his captain, currently on the best form of his career and instrumental in the win in Moscow, but others will arrive from throughout Europe, Africa and Central America with varying levels of preparedness for the enormous task that lies ahead. The first job of the backroom team will be to assess and compensate for any fatigue, stiffness or knocks before sending the squad out for a warm-up. I would be keen to spare other travellers the rigours of Paisley, where possible.
The same is true of our opponents (I’m not referring to St Mirren here), who have endured the kind of injury run normally associated with a week at Lennoxtown and who have international players throughout their team. Barcelona are away to Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday evening, who are currently languishing in 18th place after losing Lassad to Celtic on transfer deadline day.
The odds of something special happening on Tuesday night are long but we have profited against similar odds at the same location in the recent past – with a rookier keeper too. We are in the Champions League on merit and have already surpassed one achievement of all previous Celtic teams in this tournament. Plans for Tuesday start with how we prepare for Saturday.

Craig Whyte: I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers
Craig Whyte claims to have introduced Charles Green to Duff and Phelps
Craig Whyte has claimed he introduced Charles Green to Duff and Phelps as the administrators searched for a buyer for Rangers.
The former Rangers owner made the claim in a wide-ranging interview with BBC Scotland’s Chris McLaughlin.
He also claimed Duff and Phelps knew of the controversial Ticketus deal before the purchase of the club was complete.
Mr Whyte said the SPL knew in October 2011 that Rangers “had no money” and were heading for administration.
Full details of the interview, and reaction to it, will be on the BBC Scotland news website later and on Reporting Scotland at 18:30.
There will be further analysis and discussion on Newsnight Scotland at 23:00 on BBC2 Scotland.
You can comment or follow Chris McLaughlin on Twitter: @bbcchrismclaug

Think wee billie has lost the plot ………LOL !!!!!
Hi, I posted this only to then see there was a new article…
Sorry for going off topic, but I am looking for some genuine advice if anyone has any insight…
A few weeks ago, while I was up in Scotland being a bucketeer etc My landlord arranged to have the flat rewired.
the electrician who was engaged started work at 14:00 and by 15:00 had smashed my fish tank, destroying it and killing all the fish, some other bits and pieces of mine were also thrown out by the electrician/landlord mostly as they used them to clean up their mess.
Does anyone know if I am entitled to claim for damage and loss to personal property, and who do I claim against. Landlord as she was the controlling mind, or the electrician under her control who did the deed?
Any assistance is very much appreciated
Thanks

How will the Sevconians take the news that Chuck is Craigys spawn.
Oh what a deadly web we weave when we practice to deceive.

@celticservant: Craig Whyte introduced Charles Green. Looks like Govan Emerald will be digging out this stolen banner again. http://t.co/5LA1llwW
Craigy Jones- steaming and a ranting
” “I was driving the train when it crashed, but I didn’t set it on its course.” The words of venture capitalist Craig Whyte after I asked him who was to blame for the Rangers debacle.
The words of a man keen to speak out and explain his part in Scottish football’s longest-running and most ruinous saga.
A man who has become a figure of hate and even of ridicule since his ill-fated takeover of the Ibrox club last year.
Whyte left Ibrox under a cloud with the club in administration
Whyte left Ibrox under a cloud with the club in administration
Whyte feels he has become the Rangers bogeyman, an easy target, but has the criticism been justified?
He failed to pay VAT and PAYE and ultimately led the club into administration.
He granted me an interview and promised to be open and honest with no subject off the table.
We met in central London just yards from where he first hatched his controversial plan to take over one of the biggest club’s in British football.
He is no fan of the media spotlight and self-conscious about how he comes across on television.
He told me he had nothing to lose. I was sceptical.
He kept his promise and was surprisingly frank, hitting back as I probed on subjects like the season ticket deal with Ticketus, former owner Sir David Murray, PAYE, administrator Duff and Phelps and the role of the Scottish Premier League.
Who knew what and when did it all go wrong?
There was an apology for the fans – a denial of lies and questions about morality.
There were surprising revelations about how present chief executive Charles Green ended up in charge at Ibrox and discussions about just exactly how much he himself made from the deal.
Bought for a pound and sold for a pound? Whyte was pressed, but what did he say?
Bogeyman or the man to blame? Make your own mind up. “

If you need to be told then it’s not worth explaining.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
But why would Whyte go against Green ?
Sevco’s 16.90 service to The Modern World has been cancelled due to the wrong kind of bear at the wheel.
The huns are literally speechless. Ra bommur is legless.
Whyte is really Green. Green and Whyte.
Glasgow’s Green and White.
Champions League.
Ramsden Cup epic fail.
They must be going mental. All that green and white in their heads. Apoplectic paroxysms of confusion.
Now there’s a sentence to conjure with for them.

Radio Scotland’s Sport bulletin at 12.45 leads on the Hearts transfer embargo and does not mention their Craig Whyte scoop.
Curious???
RRC,
I’m not a lawyer, but I would be asking the landlord for compensation. Your contract is with him and he arranged the work. You don’t have any contractual relationship with the electrician.
If the landlord then wants to make a claim against his contractor that’s then up to him.
Our hero is an actual lunatic however…..
By God has he left some hard questions for D&P and Green to answer.
D&P are in the brown stuff now, this could see the takeover being reversed by BDO
I wonder what Green and D&P have reneged on for Our Hero to turn on them?

RRC
I’m not a property lawyer or familiar with English law on this, but the answer would most probably be in your lease. If not, it is likely in any event that there will be some common law right against your Landlord (not the electrician).
I’d call the Citizens’ Advice people in the first instance.
RRC:I would imagine the spark has some kind of personal indemnity insurance ?
So, why the rush to sell Sevco shares?
Oh Dear…
Didn’t Green assure the SFA he had no connections with Whyte in order to secure the licence?
Last October the SPL knew Rangers were going bust……. Last October the BBC aired “Rangers – The Inside story”, any link between the two?
There was an enquiry after this by the SPL where Whitey and the club were fined.
The club also received a transfer embargo to be served when Rangers OR THe Rangers decided.

PM David Cameron proposes a shared platform with Ian Paisley of DUP opposing Scottish independence. Excellent suggestion!
Well Cameron just confirmed my vote will be yes, Salmond couldn’t have planned this better
