I see Celtic fans are being blamed for rumours of Newco’s administration by their former manager, Ally McCoist. He could argue that. Alternatively, you could suggest that a business unable to secure bank borrowing, dependent on funding from directors, who will soon be forced to find £11m to make a share offer, has created more than enough financial uncertainty without Celtic fans’ assistance.
McCoist suggested “even the biggest Celtic fans in the country” do not want to see Newco go into administration. Not so sure you are right there, Ally. Personally, I would find it a funny, but it is not going to change anything. It would not lead to relegation and will not change the title race in any way.
The most significant outcome of administration could be forcing control from Dave King. Which would be a source of enormous regret.
You hang in there, Dave.
The CQN Podcast: A Celtic State of Mind (EP28) with former Celtic director Tom Grant
Paul John Dykes and Kevin Graham are joined by Celtic’s ex-director, Tom Grant, who offers a fascinating insight into the running of the club in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tom Grant explains exactly why Celtic refused to complete the Mo Johnston transfer in 1989, and lifts the lid on audacious efforts by Billy McNeill to recruit Peter Beardsley and Steve Bruce.
Tom Grant also dissects his relationship with Fergus McCann, and the impact of the ‘Celts For Change’ movement in overturning the ‘family dynasty’ board in 1994.

I can’t believe I don’t want a drink
Can’t even be bothered having a toady
Not as it I’ve lost any pounds by not drinking cos fridge is still full of chocolate
When the glorious Spurs team in the early 60s became the first club in the 20th century to do the double as well as being the 1st from the UK to win a European trophy, they gubbed the despised atletico 5-1 in the ECWC Final as well as beating deidco 8-4 en-route.
Only the mighty Benfica, including a young Eusébio, stopped them from winning the Big Cup in the semis the year before.
They belted out “Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur” as well as “Oh when the Spurs go marching in”, similar to the Buddies a couple of years before.
Belted out unlike the dirge that is being sung today at Wembley, a bit like Liverpool and their pathetic version of “Walk On”.
Incidentally in the ’62 Final Real Madrid after leading 3 times with a hat trick by the “Galloping Major” and a side that included Alfredo Di Stéfano lost 3-5 tae the Portuguese champions. A young Eusébio would score the winning and insurance goals.
7 year later we would gub them 3-0 at Parkheid courtesy of a TG pile-driver.

You talked yer bros into a return yet? Get them telt,not much point in being the oldest bruv if they ignore you.
I hope you and the family are swell-I had to reconfigure my iPhone-which is the worst piece of shit I’ve ever bought and will never buy an Apple product again-and it returned my Lisbon photos! You’re not in them,but a helluva lot of memories are.
I’m smiling just thinking about that. What a trip. Never to be forgotten. Not just the occasion,but the company,unbelievable and unbeatable.

BLANTYRETIM
You let it go too long,bud. Nail it quick,two duvets and a bottle of Scotch. Sweat it out. Once it’s in,yer f….d.
Works for me,still alive against all the odds(!)
I hope you feel a LOT better VERY shortly. People in need need people like you.
One of my acquaintances can’t even pronounce nor spell his address-which made it difficult to drop some stuff off to him today-and he has his PIP appeal on Monday.
He has been refused an adjournment to allow him time for legal advice,so will have to represent himself.
A fella who can neither spell nor pronounce his address. And struggles to construct a sentence. Only found out about it today,or I’d have stepped in myself via a trusted Blantyre friend’s assistance.
Scunnert wi that. Some world we live in,but I live in a town wi two Tory MPs,so heyho…

*thanks don’t worry about it, I had a mother who was a civil servant and although she’s long gone so was aware of what went on.
Its the same over here and I also have adult weans who are also conscious of where their pensions are coming from.
If I had to rely on the Canadian government, in this the supposed land of opportunity, I would stave to death.

I rarely take photos of people,only occasions and monuments.
Though meeting you was a monumental occasion!!!
Sevco 0-1 Corinthians………..

at the bar? Not a rumour then.
BLANTYRETIM
Was he keeping someone’s place in the queue?
Big Jimmy .
The diversity of the blog is one of its strong points . The nags versus politics . No contest .
Keep them coming and congratulations on the return .
Got a couple myself , plus small stake 3 draws up , and 3 from 4 on main coupon bet .
Beating the bookies is up there with hunskelping. HH
BlantyreTim that “bar comment” was meant for you. Sorry. :)
BMCUW
When he goes to appeal on Monday tell him to ask for an adjournment in rights of justice
If they refuse tell him he can appeal to higher tribunal
Tell him to ask for statement of reasons straight away, he has 28 days

You remember a post fae 2 weeks ago??
You’re younger than I remember!
Get well soon!
BLANTYRETIM
Thanks,mate. Absolute star!
He’s not the smartest,but he’s a stubborn lad. He’ll take advice,but rarely help. Surprising,bearing in mind my efforts for him this morning,but you know the type!
I’ll have a word with some friends tomorrow,and then with him,and use your advice. Thank you so much.

Big Colin Kazeem makes it 2.
John James’ dissection of raving Ralston’s sevco puff piece in yesterday’s ‘ministry of pishery’ is top drawer. Hh

I agree about TONTINE TIM.
His posts are a must read……………..and what a memory!
A top poster without a doubt!
PHILBHOY
He makes it up,who’s gonna contradict the oul’ bassa?
“Were you there,caller?”
Only kidding,I agree. His recall is amazing,and oh can you not just live every moment?
TONTINETIM,legend. Long may it continue.

BMCUWP

Hope you are good Buddy!
PHILBHOY
Smashing,fine and dandy,old bean. Tell O to get stuck into,those books,she has exams in four months.
Aw wait,it’s a Saturday-tell her I said she can go out for a pizza or summat. Well,hard work like hers brings its own reward…
Big HH to you and C too,bud.

The answer to your question is, err, yes!
