The Dave King story, apparently all the SFA rules barring him from running the club, joining the board, becoming a director etc, will simply be waived and he will waltz straight in, assuming he uses his cash as power. Dont understand that what with his criminal record for tax evasion and being part of the oldco board that went bust, but apparently, according to all the media I’ve read on it,no problems for Davey boy, he’s a shoe in, if he wants it.
For the ‘slow on the up take’, when Neil has the Title sewn up, he will let the
youngsters ‘free’! If plays them before that, some on here would be livid!!!
‘Playing kids’, and loosing, brigade would venting their spleens, again!!!
Pull yourselves together! If people are not turning up for games, for whatever
reason, too bad, Celtic will prevail!!!

“Glib & shameless liars” latest statement

SRS
The ole sevco fans are in a real quandary
They try to introduce sense to the situation ..any form of rational thinking …..they realise the dreadful situation they’re in
Therefore …they’re left to ignore reality and peddle their harebrained schemes …
Ole Greengo and co have ruffled them …stupid Huns

Commentary team promising Pardew will be on at HT to explain, or maybe justify, his head butt.
I’m sure he will be as obnoxious as ever.
Pardew and Newcastle. A match made in hell.
The last line of that Dave King statement is a cracker :)
Lefty – That is frightening mate!
Just imagine a wee lucky 15 there of those four tips!!
Pure class. :)

parkheadcum….,
Yea. the more I see of Griffiths, the more he reminds me of him.
He even runs like him and on a cloudy day, even looks a bit like him.
It is the energy that he puts into his game, all along the front line.
He never gives defenders a moments peace and runs fifty yards to close down the keeper.
My father used to say, not unkindly, “Whenever Stevie’s legs slow down to his brain, he will be some player”!

Tallybhoy,
In a proper sense you’re right. It’s far too early to compare Biton to George Connolly.. Imo, however, he has all the attributes that I loved in one of the finest players I have had the privilege to watch in a Celtic jersey. Biton is calm, reads the game well, passes well, can tackle and strolls around, finding space, where no one else sees it. Class.

Hat-trick hero Griffiths helps Hoops bounce back in style

CELTIC…5
(Griffiths 11, 57, 86; Mulgrew 22, Commons 78)
INVERNESS CALEY THISTLE…0
LEIGH Griffiths struck his first Celtic hat-trick as the champions equalled their highest margin of victory in the league this season against Inverness Caley Thistle.
The new Bhoy showed just why Neil Lennon had been so keen to bring him to Paradise with a Man-of-the-Match performance, opening the scoring after 11 minutes and adding two more in the second-half with a pair of deadly finishes.
Charlie Mulgrew and Kris Commons with his 23rd goal of the season were the other scorers as the Hoops returned to winning ways in emphatic style following their first league defeat of the season on Tuesday against Aberdeen.
Almost 20 years to the day that Fergus McCann saved Celtic and began laying the foundations that restored them as a footballing force, the club celebrated his achievements in Paradise.
Prior to kick off, fans in the Family Stand got a chance to view a mini Celtic history exhibition, which included a scale model of Paradise.
And just before the game got underway, former Celtic Chairman Brian Quinn addressed the crowd from the pitch, describing the importance of Fergus´ achievements before donning a ´Fergus´ bunnet to great cheers.
The manager had made change to the Celtic team that went down fighting to Aberdeen on Tuesday night, bringing to an end the team´s 26-game unbeaten league record.
James Forrest, who scored in the 2-1 defeat to the Dons after coming on as substitute, was restored to the side at the expense of Kris Commons, the 30-year-old named among the substitutes.
And Celtic looked determined to make amends for the loss at Pittodrie as they took the game to the visitors from the first whistle.
Anthony Stokes and James Forrest had already tried their luck within the opening 10 minutes before Griffiths grabbed his first goal at Celtic Park to break the deadlock.
The striker was first to Emilio Izaguirre´s inviting cross from the left, and he managed to divert it home at the near post despite Dean Brill´s best attempts.
After van Dijk and Izaguirre had both been off target with ambitious efforts, the Hoops doubled their advantage through a well-worked goal from Mulgrew.
Griffiths flighted a low corner towards the near post and, in what looked a pre-rehearsed move, the Hoops´ utility man expertly flicked it into the net.
The Champions were in complete control of proceedings but the visitors mounted a rare counter-attack in 28th minute, and Richie Foran should probably have done better than blaze over from Graeme Shinnie´s low cross.
However, with the impressive Griffiths causing consternation in the Highlanders´ defence with his pace and movement, Celtic soon resumed the offensive.
Mulgrew´s powerful drive was blocked by Gary Warren, and then Brill made a brilliant block from Stokes´ first-time shot after he had been teed-up by Mulgrew.
As a half-time approached, after a superb passage of play, Scott Brown crossed from the right, Griffiths flicked it on and Mulgrew fired straight at Brill with his weaker right foot.
Celtic continued from where they left off after the interval. Griffiths spurned a golden chance for number three, lofting a shot wide of the post after fastening on to Nir Biton´s wonderful through pass.
John Hughes´ men were showing more ambition, though, and top scorer Billy McKay got his first sight of goal but could only shoot straight at Fraser Forster.
But within two minutes, they found themselves further behind as Griffiths bagged his brace in stunning style. Seizing on hesitant defending from Warren and David Raven, the Hoops hitman won back possession before sending a ferocious shot into the net via the inside of the post.
Despite the hopelessness of their task, spiritedly, the visitors continued to search for a route back into the contest – Forster blocked from McKay and van Dijk made a last-gasp block to deny Foran.
But they should have been punished on the break as Griffiths missed a gilt-edged opportunity for his hat-trick. The Scottish internationalist and Stokes had a two-on-one situation as they drove towards the box, and after they had exchanged a series of return passes, Griffiths blasted over from close-range.
Undeterred, Celtic continued in their pursuit of further goals. Forrest saw a cross cannon off the bar and then brought out an excellent save from Brill, before Griffiths skimmed the outside of the post after excellent work from Commons.
And with 12 minutes remaining, Commons finally broke Inverness´ resistance once again as his long-range effort deceived Brill and trickled over the line.
The Inverness shot-stopper atoned for that mistake with quick-fire saves from Forrest and Commons.
But it wasn´t long before he was picking the ball out of the net again as Griffiths claimed a deserved hat-trick. Commons sent the 23-year-old scampering clear and he coolly found the far corner.
Forrest could have made it 6-0 in stoppage time from substitute Darnell Fisher´s cutback as the Bhoys finished with a flourish to edge ever closer to sealing their third successive title.

Biton’s bring down and subsequent touch to release the ball when it came down from a great height during the 2nd half was sensational – Luboesque – he is going to be some player for us!

Interesting article by King
The spending of Sevco has perplexed me …they haven’t suffered any exceptional unforeseen liabilities
Therefore the only conclusion is that they entered this season with a budget that was going to leave them with insufficient cash to see the season out
Financial illiteracy at its zenith ….
When Griffiths scored his second my bum left the seat (as did most in the stadium)
So do we need a bums on seats forward or a bums off seats forward? Confused.
Or do we have to look at other reasons for crowds dropping that Celtic have little control over?
Really enjoyed the football played and the applause suggested I was not alone.
In that sense it was a civil rather than rousing atmosphere governed by the quality of the play. Is that the shape of things to come in the absence of the foe malign?
Does Scottish football want a return to days of incivility when the football was secondary and an excuse for unbridled tribalism?
Does Scottish society?
Some smashing players on view
