Neil Lennon has been fluid with his team formations in recent weeks. As a result, three central defenders, Efe Ambrose, Kelvin Wilson and Charlie Mulgew could each be regarded as first choice picks, although Ambrose and Mulgrew have also been deployed in midfield. Ambrose has featured in all nine games since the beginning of December, while Wilson has featured in eight and Mulgrew in seven.
Add to the picture the fact that fourth-choice central defender, Thomas Rogne, has appeared in eight of those nine games, missing only the replay against Arbroath, and our central defenders look curiously stretched. Much has been made of the proximity of Efe Ambrose potential involvement in the African Cup of Nations to Celtic’s Champions League tie with Juventus, but the numbers suggest a vacancy exists beyond this tie, hence the recruitment of Rami Gershon, who will join on a six month trial, pending a work permit, with a permanent transfer agreed in principle, pending performance between now and May.
Gershon, 24, has kicked around Standard Liege for three years without making a discernible impact, but he is an experienced international who fits the profile of a non-critical recruit, competing as fourth of fifth choice central defender. His six-month objective will be to secure Thomas Rogne’s place in next season’s squad. The try-before-you-buy strategy we discussed earlier this week will ensure Neil Lennon has a player keen to impress whenever he gets an opportunity. Sound squad management.

This one is playing the simpleton.
Southside.
Wait till jabba’s wage check bounces when chuckles bails out.
He’s made himself unemployable once the s**t hits the fan again.
Not convinced the rangers will spend another season in bottom league.
So far it’s being denied that The Rangers will be promoted “automatically” but if this comes off for next season – as I expect it will else Division Three would be playing 36 friendlies next season – I predict the end of season Play offs will take on greater significance as the winner will be “invited” into this new Championship of 12 teams meaning The Rangers will be in the top league one season earlier than currently scheduled.
Oh yes and playing the bottom 4 clubs from the Premier League this time next year!

Re Jabba – he led the most important department in his newspaper in terms of circulation and lost a battle to an opponent owned by Murdoch, which was hugely unpopular in Scotland and had no hertitage as a popular newspaper in Scotland. They had around 500,000 of a start on The Sun and ended up in second place.
His team – the one he didn’t have the integrity to admit to supporting, has fallen even further, to extinction followed by pretend resurrection. His rants on their official site plays only to Green’s agenda. When Charles and his mystery investors make their move and leave town Traynor will be left broken and unemployable. A fraud of a journalist.
As was posted earlier there is no problem in England with catholic schools
True, every town has street signs with St. John’s r.c. School, our lady’s r.c school
These signs would be red rags to the bigot bulls up here in this back water where they would be vandalised
A simple example of catholic intolerance here
How can people blame these establishments for the intolerance when the reason they exist is due to intolerance and inequality towards Irish Catholics or just Catholics
This is similar to the reasons our beloved hoops exist
Don’t give in to intolerance as it is just hatred made polite

Ok, I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are in fact from Galway, not a plant, and a genuine Celtic supporter.
Answer me this, and I doubt you will find it on Google.
Our Henke used to have a wonderfull head of hair that was in the form of Dreadlocks, he decided to cut it off one day, and unlike Samson, he lost none of his scoring powers.
Who did Celtic play after he first cut off his Dreadlocks ???
He scored btw…….
Genuine question.

”Celtic, like Barcelona, are more than a football club. Our clubs are a symbol of a culture and community that has not always been made welcome in their respective countries.”
Xavi (Barcelona midfielder)”
It’s a made up quote. He never said it.

He could always stand in for Big Ben – although people would wonder why it had more than four faces.

The Xavi quote,
It doesnt really matter that he didnt say it
Its become like the old made up Marco Negri interview,It will be churned out as gospel every so often
exiled tim i dunno it was sometime in the late 90s
Jabba won’t be short of offers. He’s on the sevco, msm, sfa gravy train.

So James Traynor has started his new job as Head of Communications with an article that continues where he left off with the Daily Record – but this time he is being paid directly by Rangers Football Club to write the pro-Rangers rhetoric he has been peddling for months.
—————————————————————————–
Jabba is giving back in kind, after years of lamb & honey, the DR has always had an inside line to Inter Sevco’s ancestors. He started his ‘new job’ years ago with DM, jabba, keech et al are still failing the supporters, remember the nod? Remember ‘Ranko won’t go bust!!’ Remember ‘Ranko won’t be booted out of the SPL’? Remeber ‘ narrowly avoiding liquidation’? Remember ‘Armageddon!!!’ Jabba is consistently wrong in his analysis, he is a poor excuse for a journalist and his erse is nipping buttons about the FTT appeal, especially if HMRC cast the net further into the ‘other schemes’ D.Dodds, that the defunct club was operating!
Follow the money, don’t be distracted by the smell of shoite!!!!
wits,
its the same in england for state catholic schools, they are over subscribed, people are coming back to the church to get their children educated at a catholic schools, souptakers :o)
As long as people want to restrict choice and bury evidence, problems will never be resolved.
From twitter
Sevco media guru James Traynor has announced plans to sue ex-Record hack James Traynor for an article in which he claimed Rangers were dead

I attended that meeting.
I was the guy who walked out after listening to the huns berate the first speaker.
Ps that was the ICF that were in attendance.
HT who’s not getting involved in the Catholic schools debate ;-)
west csc
Fair play, I bet there are quite a few on here who don’t know either.
Gort is a crackin wee town btw, early 90s I was there, has fair changed since then.

Someone retweeted his apology but I didn’t see the original comment.

I think the attraction of Catholic schools in England and the US was/is that they generally provide a better standard of education than the ordinary state schools.
My daughters go to a private catholic secondary school.It attracts and caters for people of all religions and none.My eldest daughter and some of her friends and avowed atheists,there are muslims and god forbid even protestants in her class but the point is the school is renowned for its high standards and most importanly is tolerance of all
I once went into restaurant and jabba was sitting at a table. My first thot was. Is there any bloody food left?
its actually full of brazilians
or was, i havent been through it for a few years

They’ll have to, or Scottish Football will be ‘finished’…
West CSC, it was 2000 when Henrik shed his locks but….. I’m happy to confirm your claim of geographical residence is valid.
Never look these things up. No idea why I just did!

Maybe wrong to suggest there is no intolerance down south I’m just trying to highlight the damning level that does exist here
In a country where in some towns asda are told they can’t have a green sign
R.C school signs would have the same effect as a large outdoor screen breaking down at a major sporting event
As if that would happen?
HT
The people who challenge Catholic schools on the grounds that it ‘promotes sectarianism’ seem to forget that prior to the 1918 Education Act – yes, it was the twentieth century before Scottish Catholics were allowed a state education – there was quite a lot of sectarianism on the go. Two examples spring to mind; the so-called ‘Glorious Revolution’ and the Reformation…
Hail Hail!

The slug doesn’t no the meaning of the word.
Wasn’t oldco the club that liquidated his first love airdrie for the sake of 30grand.
What a short memory the slug has.
Wouldn’t it be good to phone in and remind him of what “murray the ghost “said concerning how clubs have to pay their way.
thanks paul

I think you’ve called it right. Jabba will be working to Green’s script, which is to keep the hun interested for the next three years. Chuckles started playing silly buggers to get their attention at Brechin (or was is Peterhead?) by making faces at some SFA suits. Since then he’s gone on numerous childish rants, many aimed ‘at that lot over there’, to get the hun onside.
Things had gone quiet since the Christmas speech and Chucky seemed to be running out of ideas. Now its Jabba’s turn to stir up the hornet’s nest of sevconians. His sly digs at CFC and its ‘semi-literate’ internet fans are deliberately designed to recharge the cells of hate this infant club needs to run on.
Ignore it and deprive them of the energy.
