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.

I was in The Smiddy during the week. They have had an upturn of business with the Dolphin being closed. My mate was saying that they are running two buses to Manchester.
Any spares for Manc City away? :)

Cheers.
Just upgraded to super broadband. For 1 week wireless download speed was 48mbps. Last night it dropped to 0.45mbps. BT call centre tells me no problem with download speed to hub, (that looks right) so problem is with ALL devices, iPhone, iPad, firestick said so on. How is it possible that five different devices all of a sudden develop faults simultaneously?
Dublin play Mayo in the All-Ireland football final this weekend, one of the greatest occasions in amateur sport. 82k in attendance and may more disappointed fans outside.
Here’s a tune from each county:

31003 reboot your router. It’s a router issue if all devices are showing the slow download speed.
Unplug it and leave fir 30 seconds and plug back in again. If it doesn’t speed up get back onto them.

Done all that. This guy insists I take all my devices to the “local technician” to get them checked over. Typical by response….only guarantee 55mbps if hard wired. What’s the point in them providing wi fi hubs if that’s the case?

Thanks bud. The Bunnymen have still got it.
Scouse quality band.

31003 he’s talking gash. Tell him I’ve checked them and they are all fine. Tell him I’ve done a speed test and the router is only giving. .45
Do you have a laptop you can plug directly into the router to check the speed?

Somebody (sorry, can’t remember who) posted Keith JacksHun’s piece which was surprisingly critical of the Warbler.
The caption below a picture of Warbs, stated he had been through the “Ringer” this week, rather than the correct, “Wringer”.
Good job his job dizney require any understanding of, or skill in the use of words and their definitions………..oh wait a minute :)

WITS: Tbh, I can’t disagree. However, for Mayo to win, they need to come up to Dublin’s standard. Dublin are awesome at the moment, and based on what I saw of Mayo’s semi-final, I can only see a Dublin victory.
Now, more importantly, forget the horsey tips, can you get me a ticket?
Hunderburds, maybe it is the ringer. Plenty of thems are masquerading as fitba’ players.
