Just when you thought it was safe to have hope for the remainder of Celtic’s season, 13 of the squad, as well as Neil Lennon and John Kennedy have to isolate. This is in addition to Christopher Jullien, who tested positive over the weekend.
This has been a failure by design. Celtic did what was permitted, not what was wise. We have been out-thought and out-planned all season, on and off the field. The latest crisis happened because a player with a long-term injury travelled for warm weather training. Where to being? From a position of weakness, we needed to not put a foot wrong during the second half of the season, instead, we have become a morality tale for others to learn from.
If you like watching Celtic with overwhelming odds to fight against, you should enjoy the games ahead.
Best wishes to Christopher Jullien for a complete recovery.

It’s that bad I’m thinking of marching on hampden, banning the BBC then denying this season ever happened. I’m sure the msm would back us up

‘Adi – the first 11 to finish their homework.’

Don’t think there will be much homework getting done tonight anywhere in Scotland. Such is the state of Scottish education that the Teams delivery system has been down.
Yet another thing the SNP government will be wanting to deflect attention from.
Nicola is now flying the kite that Celtic got permission to go to another (unspecified) country and not Dubai.
This just gets murkier and murkier. The uninformed speculating about the extent of the gaps in their knowledge.

BREAKING: Hibernian have consulted their players today over whether they feel comfortable playing in tonight’s game; some are believed to have reservations about participating, but it is unclear at this stage if any have chosen not to play.
Scott Robertson recalled from Gillingham
8PM tonight, BBCR4′ ‘How the Irish Shaped Britain’, by ole clever clogs Fergal Keane.
– no good deed shall go unpunished…
My own feeling is we probably did not want to upset a physio by leaving one behind to treat one player so maybe trying to keep the group together was the decent thing to do .
I am searching for a plausible reason that he went it’s the only one I can think of
are any of the physios. Told to self isolated I think that’s strange if not as it means no treatment if we dragged him over there and he got no rehab sessions!
how long have the players been isolating for this season?

I think their approach is fundamentally wrong, but I’m prepared to accept that they are doing what they think is best for Celtic.
———
So am I.
But I wish they’d either find another way, or move aside and let other people who think they could do so have a go.

You are 100% correct. I said a week or so ago that the “Old Firm” was bigger than both Celtic and thems.
Because of our dominance for the past 10 years, interest in said Old Firm was on the slide and that of course impacts on revenue. So, deal done then. Let thems win the league and revitalise the interest again and we’ll all be happy.
Disgraceful and corrupt as hell.
Tony Soprano would be pleased to operate that way.
Seriously pissed off.
The board cannor be allowed to get away with this.

I think if Celtic get the blame from Holyrood for Microsoft Teams going on the blink then that’s 1-0 for the Nat-bashers.
Any news on Jack Hendry?

Great wee prog on a local boy kevin Cassidy

Thanks almoee :-)

Any news on Kafflik schools?
I think after this Neil will give the guys a well earned break, the poor wee souls need it. Aka the last lockdown and 1 game played, hence Bolingoli😂
This is an embarrassment on our club.
Total embarrassment.
Whatever team take to the park tonight, Come on the Celtic.
Canny wait

Thanks- I had already watched it as I follow Kevin on twitter.
He has taken over the former watering hole of myself and my older brother, who has passed.
For a Gorbals boy, he has even gentrified it a bit. There’ll be umbrellas in the Guiness next.

` BREAKING: Hibernian have consulted their players today over whether they feel comfortable playing in tonight’s game; some are believed to have reservations about participating, but it is unclear at this stage if any have chosen not to play.`.
What would be the consequence if Hibs choose not to play?
HS
3 points to Rangers
Game now in doubt, what a complete shit shower
Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, has revealed that when the Hoops first spoke of a winter training camp, Dubai was not mentioned. ?
Hope none of this correspondence was done by email !!! There again liewwell sorry lawwell will deny he seen the email so that will get him off the hook

Could see us getting a merited draw…..
ERNIE LYNCH / SQUIRE DANAHER
Not sure who first said this on CQN, and paraphrasing or misquoting here, but whatever happened to Whatever part of my team Celtic needs The Rangers, I can do without! ? 🤔 I suspect that a majority of Fans would align with this way of thinking, which is probably the opposite of Celtic PLC’s strategy…
Take Care, Keep Safe, God Bless and Hail Hail,
Yours in Celtic, 😊 🧣 🍀
TB&F. 😊
SPIKEY :-)))
Uncle
Not the way things have been going of late :-)
Hibs,Dempster and Petrie are at it here,grandstanding, they know if they don’t play, they will lose the points and probably fined.
T,B & F
` I suspect that a majority of Fans would align with this way of thinking, `
Certinly I would rather be without any form of THEM but I always got the feeling on the Arbroath Emerald Bus that the local Bhoys, in the main, did not feel that way

Dempster officially left last week

‘Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, has revealed that when the Hoops first spoke of a winter training camp, Dubai was not mentioned. ?’
###
And did she just assume that they were off to Gullane Sands for a few days?
BB
I thought that would be the case but I was laying the blame at the Sky door…..which is not to say I wouldn`t put it past Petrie and Dempster.
ernie,
Indeed.Where could she have though Celtic were going for warm weather training that WAS ok?
Celtic FC refused to test players involved in tonight’s squad this afternoon … Coming from Hibs side I hope not nothing to hide surely
Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, has revealed that when the Hoops first spoke of a winter training camp, Dubai was not mentioned. ?
Surely she would have recommended staying nearby, maybe even InverClyde which she deemed to be Tier 2 up until recently (pubs open ! if only i’d known) . and which local authority has the highest figures right now ?
What did they say about the pubs/Aberdeen players ?
What did Leitch say about Acohol ?
And they put us in Tier 4 as a precaution against the second strain ?
lncompetent/deceitful/Bojo Lite/Diet Trump fecks.
“Jullien is the fifth Celtic player to test positive for Covid-19, with David Turnbull, Odsonne Edouard, Nir Bitton and Hatem Abd Elhamed previously contracting the virus while on international duty.” – BBC
Would previously contracting Covid mean that these 4 players are immune and so available to play tonight ?
I don’t blame Hibs players reservations if true & unsurprised by Petrie/Dempster playing politics.
At the end of the day, probably 25/26 first team members sat on that flight for 7 hours with an infected person. Some things are more important than football.
I know what I would say to my boss if I was expected to attend for work after other staff where on a plane with an infected person.
Nada!
Club management has only themselves to blame for this mess at expense of supporters.
Hopefully no other persons are infected and we come out of this with no additional cases.
It is very convenient for Ms. Sturgeon to keep Celtic in the forefront as a water-cooler topic or whatever is the equivalent in this working from home period.
For someone who claims little interest in football, and who pretended to be unaware that the government had granted permission, she grabbed this wee nugget about the application being originally for another country from somewhere in her memory.
Or has someone been briefing her to say this?
Strange behaviour all round.
Might even get some Nats to wonder if she’s as innocent as she pretends.
But probably not.
Still- that’s Salmond and Care Homes off the fromt page

Your line was I believe coined originally by our host P67.
The problem is that while I agree with you, Our Board don’t.

Were you the poster that was advocating Celtic buy the vaccine for squad use or have I mixed you up with someone who posted nearby to your previous post?
EMBRAMIKE
No, even if you’ve had Covid-19 before is not a reason not to require to isolate.
EMBRAMIKE on 11TH JANUARY 2021 5:12 PM
Unless The Unseen Fenian Haun has worked another of his party tricks, isn’t Bitton suspended as a result of his red card last weekend?
