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.

sounds like it was another great match between Murray and Del Potro …
i know most of you are AM fans, but I was pleased to see JMdP do well … by all accounts, he is one of the nicest lads on tour, and has battled back from multiple injuries and surgeries …. so, it is nice to see him get his rewards (and AM has done pretty well already this year, so I’m sure he wont mind sharing a bit ….)

Had identical problem last week when trying to get Wee BGFC’s ticket for Inverness – could select the ticket, but couldn’t allocate it to the wee man.
Tried everything on the site – making a seperate booking, trying to pay the adult price, etc. – all to no avail. Only solved by phoning the wee helpful lassie in the ticket office @9:30 the next morning, and she sorted me out with a ticket a few seats away from mines.
Hopefully they are open tomorrow am?
Good luck.

Exact same thought occurred to me when watching it.
Are they paving the way for justifying his sacking at as little cost as possible?
St Stivs do you want me to try for a couple?
Email me.

Is it just me…or does anybody else believe that tennis is a ” racket” ?
Every tennis player has a girlfriend/wife with the same name……..Annette ?
When was the last hibee game that the Murray’s went to ? Only asking.
If the Argue tennis player breaks all his rackets…can he no just use a hand ?
His mother was at cup final.

Wonder if Barton will be headline news on reporting scotland. Probably will. Last time he farted it was all over the news.
Anyway, Im off out for some night fishing on the south esk. Mibby strangle a seatrout or two. Canny beat a bit of fish strangling.
Not literally I hope.
In the BV for a beer after a grand day…might get the train might no…

Took Sevco to win tomorrow as my LMS pick. I think they will just nic the points. If they don’t win prepare for an extreme meltdown. Failure to take 3 points tomorrow and a gubbing at Pittodrie next week and the Hat will be on gardening duties sooner rather than later.
If John James is right and they are projected to run out of cash in October, they will need at least £16m, probably nearer £20m of soft loans to see out the season.
St Stivs
I know of 2 spares for City game. 1 in 404 and 1 in 412.
Email me if you are interested and I will pass on lurkers details.

BBC Scotland raking up Barton’s past.
That will only be because they’ve been given the green light by Sevco. Another wee push out the door for Joey.
HAMILTONTIM
That’s it done(wae help fae the educated in the hoose)
now gees peace ya pain in the erse:)
Costa’s on, my fav bad bhoy.
Just to this that it was only 3 months ago we had headlines like “Joey the Philosopher” “Joey, the modern day Jesus of Manchester”
Tomorrow it will be “Joey the Journey Man Joker” after his contract renegotiation with the club go badly wrong….for Sevco. ”
Please Mr Joseph Anthony on what grounds would you like to terminate your contract? Saul Goodman asks (Sevco Lawyer).
well, on the grounds that I only pretended to to sign the contract. Joey pauses as the Sevco Lawyer & Directors rudely interrupt with laughter.
Joey Continues: Considering you pretended ta be Rangers I decided to play along in your little joke. But ffs, wheres Jeremy Beadle, Like?
It has been 3 months so I think its been going on for a little too long & I think people are beginning to take it a little too seriously.
Now wheres ma money & I’ll be off? .
Tell Jeremy he can hit me up on my Twitter account

Great Press Conference from Brendan Rodgers.
Final question was if he had a view on Barton being suspended: “Not Really; not really. I’ve not spoken on Joey since I’ve been up here and I wouldn’t start now. It’s none of my business.”
Class!
