We waited three long years to get there but I suspect I’m not the only one who will be relived we’re not plunging straight into another Champions League game. Most Celtic fans shrugged the Camp Nou defeat off, but I hear the players have taken it all a bit personal. They want to respond appropriately in that tournament, however, there is the small matter of a trip to Inverness to deal with first.
Wheels come of the Celtic barrow at Inverness. Repeatedly. On paper, the Highlanders have endured an awful start to the season, but if you drill down you’ll see that their five league games have seen them play Aberdeen and Hearts away, and lose a local derby to Ross County. Form will improve when they face lesser-resourced teams.
Statistically, you are more likely to drop points away from home after an away European tie than at any other time. Ronny Deila defied these odds during his tenure, let’s hope Brendan manages to channel the frustration in the dressing room into a performance and result against Inverness.
While Celtic and Hearts have opened up a gap at the top of the table, the rest of the league went through a concertina last weekend. Any team from 10th placed Kilmarnock and up could go third over the weekend. Does that make it the most competitive in Europe? You could make a case, the champions aside.
Joint-fourth Ross County will go third if they win at Ibrox, while Aberdeen, Dundee and St Johnstone will all fancy their chances of being third if County can only take a point.
I was pretty keen on Joey Barton heading to Ibrox this season and his actions over the last 24 hours show why. No idea what happened on Tuesday, but he issued an apology of sorts on Twitter last night, before deleting it, and then went on live radio this morning saying, “I don’t think I’ve done anything to apologise for”.
You know best, Joey. Don’t take any crap from a manager with five games of top-flight football on his CV, or team-mates who don’t deserve to be on the same field as you. Apologise for telling it as it is? I don’t think so.
Mark my words, we’ll have him doing the halftime draw soon enough.
The Kano Foundation
Sannabhoy asked me to share this from The Kano Foundation, who will support their 5000th child at the Kilmarnock game later this month.
5000 kids! I’ve no idea the extent of the social impact The Kano Foundation is having, but it’s awe inspiring. It grew from the CQN community, when our pal Martin Kane, who is no longer with us, took seriously ill.
After we Brought Martin Home, the guys involved realised they would be able to harness this force for good going forward, and the Foundation was born – out of your efforts.
Here’s what Sannabhoy had to say:
“The Kano Foundation is holding our annual bucket collection at Celtic Park before the Killie game on the 24th of September. This game also marks the 5000th child that we will take through the turnstiles to see Celtic.
“We are really keen/ desperate to have as many people help us with the bucket collection as possible as every penny raised goes towards allowing more children to get to see Celtic.
“If you can spare an hour or so please get in touch with us as we would be absolutely delighted to have as many people as possible rattling buckets. Please drop a note to Sannabhoy at Sannabhoy@thekanofoundation.com or go online to our website The Kano Foundation.
“Every single volunteer is worth about £50-100 to us so the more we have, the more we can raise and the more kids we can take to Celtic Park. We are now up to 102 child tickets at each game meaning we can now take almost 2000 kids each season.
Thanks and Hail Hail.”
You’ll speak to a hundred Celtic fans, have a great day and the weather’s going to be warm and sunny, I promise, so go sign up.

Pulp – Sorted For E’s and Wizz

Not been in for a while, is Jim Payne in the house?
Interesting views on 1.5 pts per game nets 57 for the season.
BTW – current form (last three league matches) would see a return of approx. 30 points.
Anyway, back to the 57 points.
If an insolvency event took place during the season this topic would get quite juicy.
Our friends in Govan insist they are the same club and so does the CEO of the SPFL.
If so, and if an insolvency happened within five years of the previous occurrence, 25 points are deducted.
If you are a new club suffering this ordeal for the first time it is 15 points.
57 – 25 = 32 pts – last year this would have put you in the relegation play off.
42 points would keep you safely in the premier league.
Wouldn’t it be a shame to face this dilemma?
Same club or Relegation?
Hail hail

No harm to you fella, you were the the first one to catch my attention working back.
Yes, there will be lost souls who think Ken Dodd said everything that needed to be said about happiness. They were so wrong.
Al Bano and Romina Power have been spreading felicita across the world for more than thirty years.
Romina is the swashbuckling Tyrone Power’s wee girl. In 1958 when she was seven, Tyrone took unwell during the filming of Solomon and Sheba and died in hospital from a heart attack, aged 44. Yul Bryner completed the movie in his place and a star was born.
Lurking huns, we’re heading in your direction to wish you guten rutsch. Keep the lights on till we get there.

I am not too sure about Kennedy taking over the Huns.What would be in it for him?.Stadium in massive disrepair,team even worse.Debts to be paid off,added to the money he would need to buy out the present incumbents.We could be talking around the 30-40 million mark with no sign of a return.More chance of losing more.I dont think Kennedy got his dosh backing cert losers.Not even a “Rainjurs”man.
If you add in the neanderthal support,who were on Hun media tonight talking about bringing back,DAVID MURRAY,WALTER SMITH,there might be a way of ripping more cash from them,but I think all the avenues there have been exhausted.
I would think that once Kennedy puts his head under the bonnet and finds no engine there,he will walk.
The Huddle
Definitely the same fans……..
Personally I don’t give a flying puck (as in ice hockey) what they believe, I know the truth…..
Some of the old bhoys I watched the game with last Saturday you would be hard pressed to argue with them they are different….. I didn’t, for one reason, never pick a fight you will never win
The Huddle, I doubt many on here consider them to be the same club but there’s no doubt whatsoever that their horrible bigoted bastard support are the same. Of that there is no question.
I revel in the misery their new club brings them, every singe bit of it. In fact, I just cant get enough. And I enjoy reading about it on here.

What’s the story there and where has this come from?

We’ve had blow by blow match reports since the inception
Got a wee tip from the Celtic superstore today. Could have done with it a while ago…
Turn your tops and shorts inside out when washing and don’t use a softener that’s why the monograms come off.
Not that it will affect me personally but handy to know for the kids strips.

Brian Kennedy was interested before Green got his hands on the corpse…souness has been lauding him of late.
Unlucky today with the punt, supposedly the Hun goalie pulled off a miraculous save…just our Feckin luck.
