I may have slightly embellished our chief exec with my headline but that’s about the measure of Peter Lawwell’s message this afternoon. He told the BBC, “We don’t rely on any other club. We are in a decent position, we’re very strong.
“We have a stand-alone strategy, a stand-alone financial plan and a robustness hopefully that will take us through that.
“Times are pretty tough. I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to talk about any individual club, these things are hypothetical at the moment.
“I think we’ve a view, a very strong view on certain circumstances but we’ll only share that at the right time.”
He said, contemplating a plate of ice cream and jelly after lunch. He really should order 60,000 small tubs of both for our last home game.
Thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated in the CQN Music Quiz in aid of the Vanessa Riddle Appeal on Saturday night. The room was packed, not for the first time at a CQN Quiz, extra seats had to be commandeered from elsewhere, and a great night was had by all.
£492.53 was raised on the night on top of £800 from the purchase of online tickets and donations. Special thanks to Frank O’Hagan – new album available here – who provided musical entertainment at the end of the quiz. Thanks also to the Stornoway Celts, who provided prizes, as well as Celticrollercoaster and Tony Warrington, for selling badges and CQN Magazines respectively to aid funds.
The night would not have happened without the enormous preparation and work by Taggsybhoy, aided on the night by Mrs Taggsybhoy and young Joe – thank you. This evening Taggsybhoy will put a signed Celtic top donated by Penfold onto eBay to bring the week’s efforts to a close. I’ll let you know when it’s live.

Lawwell is better than Bain…what does that prove?
I’ve piped down of late about PL but I’m not re writing history..if we emerge to dominate for the next 5 seasons I will credit PL. I will still however judge his performance over the past 4 years as poor.
My view is that we could be in a better financial position with trophies in the cabinet given the level of competition we faced. I’m not blind to MIBBERY, Hun cheating..but even taken that in to account we could have speculated a little more and accumulated a lot more as a consequence..

Paul67 – I want to read about tanks!
I want to read about Jelly & Ice Cream!
Don’t disappoint me, you must have had the obituary written for years
A JFK moment!
“For every bowl of jelly & ice cream they eat, I will eat 2”!
Sir David Murray 13.02.12
SO pleased that we beat the hun, the wee hun and the Highland hun recently, to consolidate that four point gap. There can be NO claim that we only won this title thanks to the hun administration. Lenny is going to be a LEGEND.
Lawell playing a blinder – surely that ends the speculation that our board are about to vote a newco into the SPL?
He also said ‘I think we’ve a view, a very strong view on certain circumstances but we’ll only share that at the right time.’
A ‘very strong’ view – surely this means that there is NO WAY we are going to play by the rules, resulting in the loss of millions of pounds to CHEATS, only to let those cheats escape the consequences?
I’ve been a big critic of Lawell in the past, but Celts everywhere – NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND TOGETHER!
PS can I have lime-flavour jelly please!!!
My party fav!!!

No to Newco !.
The suppuration has been squeezed ——-watch the rancid puss start to dribble..
” They were the best of times and the worst of times”
Nope, just the best of time
I do like Monday’s
forget the jelly, lager , lager lager
I feel an inexpressible joy!
someone just passed paisley high street tootin their horn
Just reached 15:00 post STV – rangers log admin papers. Is that it then?
I was looking at an old documentary earlier today on YouTube.
It was about Glasgow in the sixties.
Showed footage at Hampden, something they used to call an OF game, whatever that was.
Anyhows, it showed only one goal scored, and the team in blue scored it.
Wonder whatever happened to them ?
pigalle GlasgowHistorianCSC
is it true?????
videocelts say stv have announced huns HAVE BEEN PLACED IN ADMINISTRATION
Sooperb, the final phases are now falling into place. I bet that the application was made at 13.13 on the 13th of the month.
Now for some more hilarious moments as the MSM mop up what it is a total disaster and embarrassment brought on by their own actions.
Happy Valentines day to all lovers
HH

JELLY AND ICE CREAM TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SSN – Huns serve notice to go into administration.
Happy 13th, ya dying vermin!

10 point deduction means only 9 points clear of Motherwell, who have a game in hand. Come McCall prove to us that you’re a proper manager.
