I was pleased Ronny Deila fronted up for the press conference yesterday. He didn’t say anything particularly revealing but it was reassuring that the pressure of the last week hasn’t seen him hide from searching questions.
Mention of clear the air talks at Lennoxtown was welcome. It lets us know that the fans are not the only ones who believe the ‘air’ hasn’t been right recently. It will also, hopefully, have given anyone harbouring a grievance to get it out.
One of the manager’s biggest decisions for Sunday is who to trust in midfield. He needs players who will respond to the circumstances, and who can open what will be a packed defence. Guys who have been over the ground before, who know how to dig deep in the face of adversity, are also required. For me that means a start for Kris Commons.

I’ve cleared the air and given myself a good talking to and I’m now confident of us winning a league and cup double.
Evening Bhoys
The blog has calmed down a bit from earlier.

I feel for Ronny, he has a vision on the way football should be played, sadly, he has not been able to put it to use with our players.
As has been pointed out, his own players are not up to it and the players in situ before he arrived don’t seem to have taken to his tactics… Maybe a strict training regime or their eating, socialising habits has come to a head.
Who knows, one thing is for sure, there is no heart in our team at the moment and I don’t see it changing with our present management team.
For me it’s time to bring someone in to lift the spirits of the players before it’s too late.
Ps. I liked Ronnys doctrine but anyone can speak a good game…the proofs in the pudding.
WEET
Loved that. Joe Egan anaw.
I seem to recall that song was “adopted ” by U.S. forces in Vietnam .
“The world`s a bad place ” and ” Don`t wanna die “
Just put a fiver on Dundee 3-2 at 40/1.
Ye never know, the ref might have an off day. :)

I almost certain PL will try to bluff it to the end of the season, try to scrape the league.
Doubt RD will be going anywhere yet.
I caught a few pics of the last time Celtic supporters got fed up with the board, only going to be one winner in that fight:)
And…I can see it happening all over again, because the current board are rapidly morphing backwards, the similarities are striking.
For the Whites and Kellys and the rest of the biscuit tin bandits….see the modern version, DD, PL, LL, and IB.
Cant go on like this.
HH
Assuming that a loss to morton wed get ronny the tin tack …. would you rather we lost on Sunday and brought in an interim manager for the last 10 games or lost to sevco in the semi final / final and lost the league too .
Hmmmm
Some might not like his blog but I reckon johnjames says it as he sees it…
The Rangers Fanzine
by sitonfence
For a bit of light relief, I like nothing more than a visit to Chris Union Jack’s Rangers fanzine, The Evening Times a.k.a The Evening Shark Jump. I found two articles on the same web page that were exemplars of incongruity. The headline article was from Rangers. The style was similar to the prose we have come to expect from the 48 hour ‘Pop Up’ director, none other than Je Suis Graham. I have included the full statement so that my readers can be as underwhelmed as I was:
“IN light of recent ill-considered comments made by journalists and players it is perhaps timely to point out that we must all continue to Follow With Pride.
Clearly it rankles with some that we, Rangers, are still here with our history intact and the best way to protect this proud heritage is to ignore our detractors. Do not react to them and give others cause to criticise our behaviour.
Instead, Follow With Pride and deny those who cannot accept reality, or legal judgment, to examine their own mind sets.
Remember, pride is what being a Rangers fan is all about. Ours is a Club open to all and we want everyone to feel welcome when they come to Ibrox Stadium.
Launched in 2007, Follow With Pride builds on the success of our Pride over Prejudice campaign and highlights everything that is positive about Rangers – our great supporters, our tremendous work in the community and the standards we set all the way across our Club.
We are all part of the one Rangers family and each one of us has a role to play in promoting Rangers as a modern, balanced and fair Club. It is important all fans believe they are ambassadors for their Club and it is their duty to help protect and enhance Rangers’ reputation.
Celebrate the Club, its unbroken timeline, honours and achievements but do not sing any inappropriate songs. Gestures and chants which are deemed offensive should also be avoided no matter the level of provocation and while it is important to be aware Police Scotland, the SFA and SPFL can take action, remember also that this Club enforces its own code of conduct.
Fans who behave in an inappropriate manner and who bring the Club into disrepute will face punishment. They might be given lifetime or limited bans so please, let us all support Rangers in the correct way.
Let’s Follow With Pride and treat the ill-informed with the silent contempt they deserve.”
As I scrolled down to click on an shaving products website, with a subscription model that sends refill blades in the post, I found the following:
“Rioting in Manchester. When Rangers played Zenit Saint Petersburg in the UEFA Cup final it was the last battle to take place on mainland British soil according to a new map.
The Dutch data project Nodegoat is attempting to map all battles in history using Wikipedia, and the 2008 incident has been recorded as the last battle on mainland British soil”
The Battle of Piccadilly, in 2008, seems to fly in the face of ‘following with pride’ which was launched the previous year. In today’s Bella Caledonia, I was informed that someone who did follow with pride was Bob Wylie who was at that time the communications director of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) who arranged a 90 minute meeting with Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive on the day of the final. £1,495 was claimed in expenses. I have no idea whether he claimed the expense of his match ticket He later left his post on the SPT following a public outcry. Mr Wylie is a regular guest of the barber’s model for distinguished gentleman in the director’s box. What’s some expenses fraud between friends?
However returning to the pop-up’s prose, I notice that ‘ill-advised’ and ‘ill-informed’ seems to be a malaise that those of us, who have even a passing awareness of liquidation, seem to be afflicted. Would it be ‘ill- considered’ of me to point out that the CVA was not accepted and at that point there was no possibility of Rangers PLC continuing as a going concern?
Apparently I don’t have a grasp of reality and I evidently missed the judicial statement which stated that Rangers had been sisted after being placed into liquidation by Lord Hodge on 31st October 2012. How remiss of me?
As a part of the Rangers family, is it ‘fair and balanced’ to believe the lie of an unbroken timeline? Are we back in the realms of metaphysics again? Lord Brodie has clearly pointed out that the current club is a phoenix operation and that the concept of Rangers ‘continued’ is a myth. Does Lord Brodie not have a grasp of reality? I suggest the Rangers board write to him and ask him to step down from his position as a Lord Ordinary as surely any judge with no grasp of reality would be considered a liability at The Court of Session? Lord Brodie also serves as an Appeal Court judge in the Inner House. So who would I prefer to believe? Je Suis Graham or Lord Brodie?
The communique then refer to inappropriate singing and gestures. This will be ignored as everyone knows ,as Mr Regan succinctly put it, that you cannot arrest thousands. If the club banned everyone who was singing ‘The Billy Boys’ they would be playing behind closed doors.
As is often the case with the new board’s statements, it was timed to set the agenda in tomorrow’s red top rags. It will make a refreshing change to Neil Doncaster cast as Charlemagne fighting the good fight against the E-20 clubs. If any of these clubs actually know who he is I will donate £10 for each to his favourite charity, King’s Rangers. He recently gave generously with 81 titles.
However, call me a cynic, but could it be a squirrel to deflect from some bad news that is coming down the pike.
Btw… The Clumpany has put one up as well on the same lines a good blog.
Tbj, wit i would prefer to win, win and win, simple
THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD…
If the board haven’t seen or heard enough about the way the vast majority of the support feel, then you really need to think they are just waiting on the hun.
Btw, the hun word should always be written with a small h. :))
Not excusing ANYTHING – but, God forbid if we had gone “belly’up’ twenty years ago and re-formed at Celtic Park – no one’ but no one, could/would have taken the European Cup from inside Celtic Park from our glorious history…….just saying.
Sips
I have a fiver on Dundee arsenal and Dundee utd … 44/1
Steph
Me too mate …. just saying the spfl win is the most important thing
Mr pastry
Its just a replica cup at celtic park
And our history would be the history of celtuc football club which woutd not be the club we would now follow and no way in hell would we be able to spin that any way up
SIPSINI
I think DD, PL and friends might be surprised next season, when the bigot jamboree isnt as warmly received as they expected.
I hope so anyway.
The huns make me sick, i certainly wont be paying to see them poison Celtic Park.
Apathy is setting right in now.
HH
We all understand that sacking Ronny is the last last resort for all in power at Celtic Park – that will make me feel a tad better when the inevitable happens.
MR PASTRY…
Why would anyone want to take the European cup from us?
We won it fair and square, surely you only get penalised if caught cheating.
Tough week on the ole Celtic front…
It really is time to pull together but I fear the divisions run deep. This is tough but the league is a priority and Europe will need to take care of itself. Informed talk spells out Ronny is gone and the more I think about this a perfect storm is forming for Aberdeen. We need them to lose as we are incapable of winning every game. Scary!
HH

I do know what is in Celtic Park – I and family and friends have albums fill with photos standing beside all things.
We would hang on to EVERYTHING as hard as we could – anyone who says different is not a Celtic supporter – of course that does not mean what Sevco is doing is right, or indeed, legal.

Eoghan O’Connell, plays the full 90 minutes as Cork City get their League campaign off to a flying start with a 2 nil win. Eoghan played well particularly good second half, his through ball led to opening goal.
2 Competitive games, 2 assists and 2 clean sheets.

Dean Ford and the Gaylords.

*first saw them in the Lennox Hall in Balloch when they were Tommy Scott and the Gaylords pre wee Tam.
Hello again all you young rebels.
It’s been difficult reading the blog the last few days. as an auld
codger who thinks he has seen it all bad and good and then
some since the 50’s, even when we couldn’t win a league for
years, but theres a different attitude now, is it a perceived
sense of injustice because of the SFA corruption? is it because
the darkside are pissing themselves laughing at our anger? or
could it be frustration that we are being left behind in the
footballing world due to the moves being made behind the
scenes by the so called bigger clubs? i don’t know but i feel a
kind of bitterness has crept in and certainly the downsizing
at our club isn’t helping and I’ve got to agree with most of the
bloggers on here whoever sanctioned the signing of Cole,Cifti,
etc should be chased out the door.
One thing is for certain the team to play Morton must show the
support that they are committed to Celtic and the crowd will
give them the backing they crave anything less and we will lose
this league and the repercussions will be enormous so come on
bhoys lets all pull together and get the cup and No 5 wrapped up,

Sipsini,
Correct Lawwell is waiting on the hun to save his skin.
He has destroyed everything Celtic has stood for and relies on our mortal enemies as a catalyst to unite the Celtic support so he can plunder several million more from the club.
Amazing he still hasn’t sacked the Norwegian PE teacher. It makes me wonder if he has a bet on Aberdeen to win the league — or maybe he has incompetent as Ronnie.
Still waiting patiently….10 years …on a critique from CQN on the damage Lawwell has done to the club. I suppose while the generation of domination is in full flow with CL nights and football played the Glasgow Celtic way…another 10 years of a beancounter CEO is not to be sniffed at.
It reminds me off the guy Gerry McSherry who supported the old Board until the last day as the guys in the white coats took him away as Fergus came to power. Deja vue.
Lawwell/Delia have taken us down to the level of Hamilton, Dundee …hopefully we can beat the part timers from Greenock.
