Readers of Celtic Quick News will know that our club has not been out of debt since Fergus gathered up our cash in 1994 and set about building the new stadium. 19 years later, with the mad arms race which consumed Scottish football over, we stand on the verge of coming out of debt.
The full consequences of this will not be known for years to come but the first material benefit is the £100 discount per season ticket Celtic announced today. We’re no longer in debt, we can team-build in a measured and sustainable manner, and with Champions League money in the bank, Celtic have cut prices.
I know season ticket holders who missed out on the Barcelona, Spartak and Benfica games as, on top of everything else, they could not afford Champions League tickets. If we get back to the group stage next season, supporters will be able to buy their season tickets and Champions League group tickets for less money than they paid for SPL tickets this season.
The return of the £50 under-13 ticket is also very welcome, along with a tiered level for older children. With so many competing distractions, it is important that we bring as many young people into our community as possible.
Peter Lawwell’s comments underline the importance of bums on seats to everything that happens at Celtic, “The backing of our fans has, as ever, been crucial. Domestically and in Europe they have once again been right with us and we felt it important that we rewarded their commitment by making this gesture”.
More welcome good news for the Champions.

Correct…..Barca are the best team the World has ever seen, apart from the LISBON LIONS. Tonight, they were the victims of two dreadful decisions, and Messi wasn’t match fit……. Watch Barca in the return leg……glassfullyfull…!!!!!!!!
A superb team, no doubt (although I preferred the Milan team of the early 90s). I just wonder if their style (easy on the eye as it is) has maybe become too predictable? When it comes off (as v Milan in the second leg) it is pretty much unstoppable, but Bayern didn’t let them settle at all and also had enough attacking options in their own team to cause damage at the other end. I just can’t see them coming back from that against a really good team like Bayern.
Blakey buys a plot of land for his expansion on bus garages.
What’s not to like?

However, Sandy Easdale was jailed for VAT fraud in 1997, a matter thought to concern current Ibrox board members.
Why are they concerned……..because he was caught ?
They are selling the Huns to Blakey from On the Buses

Hahahahahahahaha……also looks like sally whenhe found out that greengo had duped him…
Just catching up and reading about The hate factories latest move,
Seems reading between the lines on other sites things just got a whole lot more SINISTER over govan way.
IMHO this has been a plan all along Remember Ellis getting body guarded into ipox on his first day, and reports of gangsters and even bomber saying he was warned off.
This IMHO will not end well.
GET OUT THERE, BHOYS, AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS IN CELTIC TO GET ALONG NEXT SEASON TO SUPPORT THE BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD ……..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From BBC
It just keeps giving off to bed now.
By Chris McLaughlin
Senior Football Reporter, BBC Scotland
Former chief executive Charles Green has agreed to sell his shares in Rangers to Greenock bus tycoon James Easdale, BBC Scotland understands.
Easdale and his brother, Sandy, already own around 6% of Rangers, but they want more – and a presence on the board.
However, Sandy Easdale was jailed for VAT fraud in 1997, a matter thought to concern current Ibrox board members.
The board met on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of the Easdales increasing their stake.
It is possible the family will look to buy even more shares in Rangers in an attempt to take some form of overall control of the Division Three champions.
The Easdale family owns McGill’s Buses, a Greenock-based company that has become the largest independent bus operator in Scotland.
James Easdale is the chairman of the company that now operates more than 350 buses and around 55 routes and employs about 700 members of staff.
Green cannot sell his shares immediately as he is locked in by Stock Market rules until December.
But the Englishman has informed Rangers’ board that he intends selling to Easdale, who has agreed to buy.

Brilliant – how does this stuff appear so quickly?
Signing off. Down in York with an early start and a full day of meetings tomorrow.

Hilarious.
Keep them coming.
Well, that was a game and a half.
What a side show in the bar as well.
Two brothers in their 50, one a Barca fan, the other a Real fan, never stopped arguing all through the game.
A couple of Real supporting Guards were in as well, anyways the Barca brother was getting the pish ripped out of him by his bro and the guards.
When the 3rd goal went in, they taunted yer man so much, he threw his beer at the TV, he was told to go outside to calm down.
He proceeded to kick the crap out of the Guard car, it was hillarious, even the Guards were laughing, they told him to feck off, never arrested him, felt sorry got him.
Spain in the sticks, ye canny whack it.
Bayern could have had three pens as well, so sort of justice was done.
I will wager now that Real will get to the final.

Need to get back into the habit… should be easy, never loose it.. was thinking about it before this announcement, now certain.

Seen the great man play in Glasgow a few years back. He was great with everyone after the gig, signing posters cds etc and chatting for as long as you wanted. This song was a standout.

Six things that have made my day:
1. Leaving work early (always a bonus) to take young ACGR to his DD Quarter Final Match.
2. Getting my hostelry sorted for Saturdays BMCUWP Hootenanny (panic over).
3. Finding I can park close to said hostelry.
4. Learning Celtic are giving me £100 off my SB for next season (Well done CFC).
5. Young ACGR’s team beat a very good Dundee United SC 2 – 0 to reach the semi’s.
6. Chilling out and dramming on a brand new bottle of 3 Elements (by way of practice for the hootenanny, ahhhhh……………nice).
Bonus Thing:
7. Learning that another fraudster is heavily involved in the sevco circus.
All in all, an almost perfect day:-)
CRC, thanks for the link, I had absolutely no idea about the excellent news received by Oscar and his family.
I promise I’ll try and not moan when my body’s sore after fives again.
What a fighter Oscar Knox really is!
