Winning the league at Tynecastle, or against Aberdeen at Celtic Park, would both be acceptable. The one blot today’s fixture announcement threw up is the possibility that we could win the league while not playing, if Aberdeen fail against Motherwell, a game which kicks off after our match at Tynecastle has ended.
Whatever way it falls, securing five-in-a-row is surely now a matter of when, not if.
After ‘news’ that our chief executive could be a target for a relegation-threatened English club yesterday, our media have moved into the playing squad today. Is there a game coming up they’re worried about?
These transfer pieces are always available. Every club has records on literally hundreds of players. You can write a piece on any player, at any time, on tenuous information, they just happen to pop up at a convenient moment.
Still holding out for a love rat story before the weekend, or a reprisal of the ‘Refs let Scott Brown off the hook’ narrative.

Reading/Listening about all these Orders.
The latest is the Cistercians because of the link I listened to tonight. The Cistercians Order were mentioned.
The mere word Order sends shivers down my spine.
That Order out of Chaos motto is what gets me mega annoyed.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Mankind is Corrupt, Even the very Best Celtic fan, is a Terrible Sinner, and would sell you out if the most imperfect circumstances happened to befall him or her.
You Can’t be perfect.
Noone can.
Looking forward to the resolution 13 debates.
Only joking and keep up the good work resolutioners :-)
Some bizarre amount of reactionary guff appearing. Has someone upset the Zionists?
Aff oot lol.
Weebobbycollins enjoyed that clip. Unfortunately my da was injured I think for that final.
When he died Haddock Ring Robertson and others were at funeral. Big Albert came over from Dublin.
In the 56 semi against the hoops my old man brought down Fernie for a penalty. We scored and won 2-1.
Sorry about time getting back but not long in from work.

If Auldheid’s about:
David Conn from the Guardian responded to me on twitter regarding the Souness statement:
“Yes, am keen to do it; can you send a link to Souness statement please?”
Don’t want to get too excited. But if we ever wanted a journalist to take on this story, it would be David Conn.
His work at the Hillsborough commission is coming to a close soon.
===================
Conn has had the full bhoona so to speak on Res12 and LNS since last Autumn from The Offshore Game guys that I met last June and only Hillsborough stopped him running with it.
They (ToG) have been alerted.

The Celtic/Clyde cup final was 54/55 season. First game was first cup final to be televised live. Unfortunately the replay was my fist Scottish cup final and must admit my second against Dunfermline (1960 I think) was not any better. Third final, never to be forgotten was against Dunfermline and by that time we signed their old manager, ” Mr Stein “. The rest is our “unbroken” history.

Similar vintage myself.
Saw Celtic win the cup in `53 ( ? ) , the 7-1 in `57 and was at the Dunfermline game replay. (`61 ?) and the win in `65 .
Long time between drinks.
However , big Jock made up for all the disappointments. He still does.
Hingin` oot for Sunday………………….
It`s in the D.N.A. ………….literally. :-)
Hail Hail , Fess.

Folk would not let me go to games against THEM until I was in Secondary school, even then not too happy.
Will be watching from afar (7-1/2 thousand miles) on Sunday but hope we send them into oblivian and see how their support react.

FESS19 on 13TH APRIL 2016 4:47 AM
I`ll be in Sydney , but we`ll be together in spirit.
And avoiding their support in Sydney ,if they have any left.

Not as quality a read as in years past but now probably at the level of the Herald 20 year ago
Morning all.
Italians, eh?
Yesterday’s edition of ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’ had a full three page spread under the headline ‘The O** F***: welcome back.’
!!!!!
A totally nauseating read. Same club, ‘demoted’ to the 4th tier, 54 titles…
Ffs!

Kieran,
Analogy don’t work matey.
New Co Lazarus wasn’t roaming the streets of Palestinian villages at the same time as Old Co Lazarus was still in his tomb.
The same as New Co Jesus wasn’t wandering the streets of Jerusalem at the same time Old Co Jesus was still hinging frae the cross.
These analogies don’t work. Try the one about the Wee boys Pet Goldfish.
Wakes up one morning. Da da he screams …..Jaws is deid. Poor Jaws was floating upright at the top of the fish bowl. The wee boy was inconsolable.
What to do, thinks the Da? Ah wave of genius.
Right son. You go back to bed. I will go to the vet and get Magic Dust that can bring Jaws back to life.
Da Broon heads down to the pet shop, quickly purchases a goldfish identical to Jaws ( aren’t they all lol).
Old Co Jaws oot ……New Co Jaws in.
Da calls wee boy down to the fishbowl . We boy is ecstatic ……Jaws Jaws, tears of joy running down his innocent, unknowing wee face. He just could grin wide enough.
Da is all pleased was himsell…………..just then……… A scream is heard from the bathroom.
It’s wee boys elder sister…………..Whit the Feck? There’s a deid fish in the lavvy pan.
Which Murray ex acolyte will break cover next to reveal their own position on ebt.
I am going for Halloween cake face mcclelland.
BT
Marco Negri did get a mention, but nobody asked him for a quote.
HH!!

BLANTYRETIM
Negri was some striker for them. I was delighted his conscience got the better of him before he could break Joe McBride’s pre-Christmas record.
BTW,I’ve read a few articles from The Record about the forthcoming game which don’t use the term Old Firm.
Strange…
MACJAY1 and FESS19: I watched the Celtic v Clyde final on the television even though I was to meet my Dad off the bus at the game! I was in the Probables versus Possibles final trial for the Glasgow U16s v London U16s but had just had 5 stitches taken out from just below the Achilles ( hit with a sledge would you believe ) and played like a coo first half and got switched to Possibles at half-time ( a wee @@@@ from Govan Sec ) and lost out. Gutted I was so went home from Roseberry Park instead of Hampden. Funnily enough my Dad didn’t give me hell for not being there. A shit day all round!
You would think that the media here in Scotland had a job to do in the safety and well being of football fans going to the Scottish cup semi final on Sunday, by all means advertise the game as a Glasgow derby game because that is all it is, but to push the victim and old firm button is just as stupid as it gets, winding up fans is not what is needed for this game, interviews with Walter smith and Graham Souness about how RFC where wronged is not the way to go about it, the press have a responsibility to the public, this is the same press who said in 2012 (when RFC where liquidated) that we should all move on,? So what’s happened since then? I’m afraid that anyone who gets a serious injury then the blame will lye at the door of the Scottish press, yes, the blood will be on they’r hands hopefully I’m wrong, but I doubt it not the way the Scottish media are going about they’r work.

The man’s an arse and a bitter bitter man.
Walter Smith claims Rangers should always be bitter over the reaction to their liquidation – and he has encouraged everyone at Ibrox to use that as motivation.
Rangers have earned their place back in the top flight after a four-year journey ended last week, but former boss Smith believes the ill-feeling will linger forever.
A consortium led by Charles Green failed to win any votes in their application to join the Scottish Premier League after purchasing the liquidated club’s assets in June 2012. The Rangers newco was subsequently admitted to the bottom tier, despite attempts by Scottish football authorities to parachute them into the First Division.
Much ill-feeling remains among Rangers fans over those times, while many other supporters feel Rangers got off lightly for years of contentious tax arrangements, which remain the subject of legal action.
Smith, who was promoting enhanced odds from betting firm comeon! for Sunday’s William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final between Rangers and Celtic, said: “There was no necessity for Rangers to be put down into the Third Division.
“That will always stay in Scottish football. There will be a bitterness in the Rangers ranks. It will be a massive motivation for the club. It would certainly
be for me.
“How can they forget what happened to them? Nobody could forget that.
“There is no doubt it was the wrong move in my eyes: Scottish football has been worse off.
“And a lot of the teams who were happy to see Rangers going down there have suffered and found themselves relegated or in the process of being relegated.”
Green and others face criminal charges over the 2012 purchase, and Smith believes Scottish football is still facing consequences of subsequent decisions.
Smith, who led a group that tried to buy the club from Green immediately after the newco deal, said: “Rangers going out the Premier League has, in many ways, caused problems to quite a number of the teams that have been there. And Celtic are one of them, in the sense that they have been left more or less alone to win a championship.
“Aberdeen put up a great fight over the last couple of years but it’s very difficult for provincial teams to match Celtic, or Rangers when they were at the level they were at five years ago.
“Celtic have had a problem with their own motivation going into games. They have not had Rangers on their coat-tails. I don’t think their spending has been
what it was, and quite rightly: why spend the money when they don’t need to?
“It doesn’t matter what anyone says. When I was Rangers manager, you were motivated by Celtic. Your first look after each game was to look to see what their result was.
“That’s a massive motivation to take away and I think Celtic have suffered a bit from that in their performances.”
Smith believes Sunday’s Hampden clash will offer little indication of what will happen next season and he urged the Rangers board to find money to strengthen.
“Rangers will have to support Mark Warburton in the manner I was supported as manager, to give him the opportunity to challenge,” said the 68-year-old, who
won 21 trophies in two spells as Rangers boss.
“The board want the club to be up there and they have to find a way of doing so.
“The economics of Scottish football are fairly straightforward for Rangers and Celtic. If you invest in your team and get to the Champions League, you make
money. If you don’t, you lose money.
“That’s the biggest gamble. Rangers are in a totally different circumstance from Celtic, but they have to find a way.
“It can be done. We weren’t in a great circumstance when I came back a second time. We weren’t in a great circumstance when Graeme Souness took over 30 years ago.
“The club showed a reaction at that time and I’m fairly sure they will show a reaction now.”

I would think the biggest motivation during Walters reign was EBTs ? But let’s not talk about that, or wishing the newco at Ibrox good luck, ohhhhhh noooooo can’t be taking about that.
Did Smoth get asked about the blood money he took from Green? Thought as much…..
You won’t see this in the media.
CFC took the biggest away fans to Motherwell last weekend, 5,300 the biggest away fans in Britain.
*Smith,bleary eyes,without a drink….

Scotland 1984, where liquidation = survival.
And only ‘haters’ object.
Morning Timdom,
Went to see Jeff Lynne’s ELO last night at the Hydro, brilliant gig only marginally ruined by a blootered fat bird sitting next to me in the front row, every time she stood up her seat flipped up and when she sat down she didn’t realise this and fell on her arse! Eventually her mate, slightly less blootered got the hang of putting the stupid cow’s seat down for her before she fell again! She was warned half a dozen times by the bouncers but remarkably saw the end of the concert.
BMCUW di Marco Negri not get an eye injury playing squash that kept him out of the team for a while during that season which stopped him breaking any records? His comments on the Huns are priceless these days!
A fairly crude and disreputable dog whistle from Walter Smith, a barely disguised encouragement to nastiness for the horde.
What an unpleasant man.
Morning Celts
What a horrible fecking week ive had trying to avoid these hun wretches.
Wall to wall media lies….and that auld crabbit bigot, the Satanic Cardigan.
Its enough to drive a man insane.
Im delighted that i wont be anywhere near on Sunday.
Wouldnt be responsible for my actions.
Maybe a blindfold and ear plugs would be the way to go.
