Hibernian sit joint bottom of the SPL, above Dunfermline only on goal difference, but they have collected seven of their 19 points in the last four games and have not lost a goal in almost a month. For all Hibs poor early season form, they were the last team to take a point from the league leaders. No Celtic fan will need to be reminded that one of the 12 points Hibs earned in their first 21 league games of the season was won in a 0-0 draw at Celtic Park. You suspect Neil Lennon will often use the word “complacency” in pre-match team-talks before playing bottom of the table teams, but no one in the Celtic team will need to hear this word today.
Come rain, hail or shine; win, draw or defeat, Celtic fans will stream into Easter Road today determined to have a party, but yesterday’s Kilmarnock will at Ibrox demonstrates how footballers don’t always read the script.
Three points today will be a huge achievement for Celtic.

Twas my brother Sylvest (What’s he got?)
Oh a row of forty medals on his chest (big chest)
He killed fifty bad men in the west
He knows no rest
Think of the man, hell’s fire don’t push (just shove)
plenty of room for you and me
He’s got an arm like a leg
And a punch that would sink a battle ship (big ship!)
It takes all the army and the navy
To put the wind up Sylvest
He thought he’d take a trip to Italy
He thought that he’d go by sea
He dived off the harbour in New York
And he swam like a man made of cork
Now he saw the Lusitania in distress
He put the Lusitania on his chest
He drank all the water in the sea
And he walked all the way to Italy
He thought he’d take a trip to old Japan
So they brought out the whole brass band
He played every instrument they’d got what a lad
Sure he played the whole lot
Well the old church bells did ring
The old church choir did sing
They all turned out to bid farewell
To my brother Sylvest
I know I’m a bit late with this entry but I have an idea for a Rangers pub name.
To quote our dear friend, Hector:
Tax Doesn’t Have To Be Tax Inn (geddit?)

Hi Paul
I don’t post much but still on to read the blog every day. I just want to add my thanks to you for creating and continuing to keep CQN going. I think at times you must feel you could see it far enough with all the work involved, but please be aware of how much it’s appreciated none more so than these last seven days.
Hail Hail

From the huddleboard……..
Seemingly missiles thrown at Brines near the tunnel at the end of the game yesterday, the poster asked if there was any footage?
Quick as a flash someone responded saying “if it was a pound,maybe it was a takeover bid”

Pesky late kick offs!

Brilliant!!!
Aberdeen fans should hang their heads in shame. It’s a beautiful sunny day, a little, cold in the North East and the ground is empty. They are trying to get a top 6 place and look to get into Europe but only a handful of fans turn up?

Hail hail
I dont even want to think about them, I’m beyond caring whats going on at other side of the city.
I’m a celtic fan, and as such theres only one club I truly love + want to see winning and improving.
And thats the bhoys in green + white hoops.
Finally after a week of far too much ice-cream and likening them going into administration as Frodo throwing the ring into Mount Doom and endless talk with everyone you see about all goings on at Ibrokes
Its back to OUR club, OUR team. Lets just keep the green footballing machine scoring and rolling on towards a BIG party in May.
Hail Hail!

Certainly would be a sight to behold :)))))
Nae bones in jelly and ice cream but it still seems to get stuck in chick dungs craw…..funny that

3 points today Celtic pure and simple
Once again we face our most important game of the season,
after the events of the last week and yesterday at the death star, 3 points is all that matters for the team today
as for the fans who are lucky enough to be at easter road today,
it’s another chance to enhance our reputation as the ‘best supporters in the world’
and not just becasue our manager says we are (eh coisty!!!!) but because uefa and fifa have told the world we are!!!!!!
Mon the HOOPS
This is like the day of a cup final,or one of those
Glasgow derby games you used to get.
Can’t wait till kick off.
G64 if your on ,I will be at your hoose(must stay open)
early doors.

Agree, the Black Knight has disappeared into the sunset having successfully offloaded his troubles, to Whyte Knight, who is a flimflammer brought in
to set up administration, in his name.
He’ll have creamed off his pickings and the chances of seeing him at ‘The Big House’ recede by the day.
He might need to stay in Monaco for the rest of his life, whilst the bears call for his blood. The administrators will give out valueless good sound bites, to stave off the natives, then they’ll be liquidated.
Nothing deviates from what we’ve been reading here for years.
Hi all, just listening to ”wee chico” the nightmares
just keep coming for rangers. Chico telling us we could go 23 points
clear of the taxdogers if we win our next 3 games.
Who would bet against us turning up at the debtdome already crowned Champion.
Im still waiting to wake up and find out i dreamt all this!
Let the party commence.
Hail Hail

A small snippet of a very appropriate poem.

Slow Justice
Is Better Than No Justice
I Just Want Justice and Peace
To Feel Justice
It Must Be Real Justice
Not Cut-Deals Or Just A Piece
Full Justice
Not Pull The Wool Justice
She’s Already Been Blindfolded Enough
Then True Justice
And Overdue Justice
Will Be The Law Of Every Land & Life

REMEMBER BHOUYS TO E-MAIL THE TAX PAYERS ALLIANCE!

That will be the Taxpayers Alliance that is funded by millionaire tax avoiding businessmen, staffed by ex-tory employees. Their remit is to defend tax avoidance. Read the small print.

Need a quick opinion guys. Sitting having a quick pub lunch with the missus before the game, on the kids menu for dessert is jelly and ice cream, now the interesting part. We overheard the waiter talking about how gutted he was with the result at ibrox yesterday. So do we ask him for two portions of jelly and ice cream from the kids menu?
