Willie Maley’s 1917 62-game unbeaten run in domestic football (or just football, as it was back then) was matched against Kilmarnock, but as Rangers fans found out in 1998, you should never assume that just because you can match a record, you can beat it.
Tomorrow Celtic’s shot at history goes on the line at McDiarmid Park against St Johnstone, where we last lost a domestic game, back in May 2016. St Johnstone have already relieved Celtic of a couple of points this season, and will have no fears of what they face in tomorrow’s early kick off.
For Brendan Rodgers, the challenge will be to peak energy levels after an emotionally and physically draining evening against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. His players are Celtic, not Robotic, and he will know there is a very real chance of a reversal, if we are anything less than 100% prepared.
History is yours for the taking, Celtic. Bring the glory home from Perth.

*allegedly the Big Mhan coveted him but airdie widnae sell him tae us so we just settled for Dixie who was signed on a Saturday night while serving a suspension. No a bad compromise.
From RIP’s Accounts
“In order to continue operations for the next 12 months the Group is dependent upon raising additional finance to
cover the projected cash shortfall of £4m in season 2017/18 and a further £3.2m in season 2018/19. Failure to secure
additional funding would result in the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would
result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.”

Retail Services Limited (replacing all existing agreements) and a deed of settlement and release in respect of all
ongoing litigation and claims”

from companies house
“1 active person with significant control / 0 active statements

So, they have signed a NEW deal with Sports Direct !

I am the same. Heavy cold then chest infection picked up in Munich. Just about shook it off after a fortnight. I remember everyone coughing and sneezing on the flight fae Stuttgart. I blame Easyjet :)
BRTH…I look forward to hearing the rest of the interview…after the 1966 debacle v England at Wembley the reputation of Argentinian footballers was gutter level…Alf Ramsey called them ‘animals’ and they were not going to forget that in a hurry…so, in the games v Celtic there was possibly a sense of revenge on their part…Man Utd got similar treatment the following year v Estudiantes?…and the ‘love affair’ with England has continued to this day…I worked for an Argentinian company throughout the Malvinas conflict and the guys were really good with me. They were very anti-Galtieri but at the same time very angry with Thatcher and Britain…They are a proud people, if somewhat arrogant at times, and they are extremely passionate about football, even more so than the Brazilians I believe…Anyway, I envy your having been there all those years ago, and yes, the big travelling support really did start with Lisbon, it was a truly magical experience for all of us who were there. However, Buenos Aires at that time was out of the question for a young apprentice like me, it was as far away as the moon for most of us…Glad you made it though and as I said, I will listen out on Sunday…
Regards…oh! and Happy Birthday…
Miles behind on blog…… so Happy birthday to Blantyre Tim and BRTH.
Saw mention of Willie Miller earlier. I had the pleasure of watching him many times and am on record as saying Boruc was our first first-class goalie since him!
A report on a Glasgow Cup tie against Clyde said there wasn’t a bit of his body you could lay a three penny bit on that didn’t touch a bruise! No protection for goalies in those days!!!

Was great to eventually meet you on Tuesday.
The coincidences between my family and yours and your wife’s was incredible. How we haven’t met before is a bigger surprise.
Hail Hail
Anyone who won’t observe a minute’s silence,stay out the ground until it’s over, easily done.

Anyone got a spare ticket for tomorrow?
Usually get them direct from St Johnstone – but they gave all the away tickets to Celtic this time.

Celtic supporters widely praised for game against Bayern and on the back of the FIFA awards. A few days later a minutes silence is announced at the last minute for a game on the 4th of November, 8 days before Remembrance Sunday. Well, colour me surprised. JPT had a pre match meeting at the stadium yesterday and it wasn’t mentioned. Some dirty Hun is behind this.

It’s behind Ayr Station. Castlehill Rd.
Come out from the station,turn left back over the rail line and it’s facing you.
Google maps will give you it too. Smashing Tim pub-about the only one left in Ayr!!!
Enjoying this Wolves v Fulham match.
Wolves look a decent football team, deserving of their place clear top in the Championship.

Another Poppy Trap Tomorrow.
Fri Nov 03, 2017 6:48 pm
Each year in November we get put under pressure by the Poppy Fascist’s to agree with their opinions about how to remember those who lost their lives in war. A lot of people believe as I do that it is a personal issue, and people should pay their respects as they see fit.
It’s not even all the people who lost their lives, just those who fall into the category they believe should be remembered. But in the last few years it’s getting worse, it seems that everyone who appears on live television is forced to wear a poppy.
The real hypocrites are those who have imported this into sport, and mostly football. Celtic have paid plenty of fines for what UEFA called political demonstrations by the display of some banners, and they were backed by the SFA/SPFL.
Tomorrow once again the trap has been set, this time the poacher is St Johnstone. They have informed Celtic that a Minutes Silence will be held tomorrow before our match. They never indicated during the pre-match meeting that was the case, they waited until late this afternoon to contact Celtic.
With all the roadworks going on tomorrow around Perth there will obviously be supporters arriving late, some will be caught out not knowing about the silence, and no doubt the microphones will be there to catch any noise.
I’m not going to ramble on about the merits of Poppies or minutes silences. I will remain outside until it’s over with, and I would suggest that anyone who doesn’t agree with the minutes silence does likewise. If supporters are happy with the silence then by all means take part.
It looks like this situation in November is never going to change. If they don’t want to leave the politics at home, maybe the supporters will remain at home instead. I will be seriously considering whether I return to St Johnstone for any more games.
TTR
Stay quiet for One minute before the match.
Easy to do. Then protest when the minute is over. I would stay outside the stadium till kick off, if I was going tomorrow.

I tried to grow my hair long as a teenager. Unfortunately my hair was afro style and grew curly and bushy. Looked like a paler Phil Lynnot when I was 13. :)
