With an eye on the interesting weeks and months that lie ahead, this month’s issue of CQN Magazine is titled Fit and Proper, as we investigate some of the goings-on in the game. To give these times some perspective, we take you back to 1994, when our own club was on the verge of collapse. It’s all there, including video of the legendary “Cambuslang is a reality”!
Celtic was rescued and rebuilt by the collective action of thousands of ordinary supporters, the active planning of a small number and the icy focus of Fergus McCann. Fergus had his critics, and we recall some of the conflict here, but as Shakespeare said, “Cometh the hour, cometh the man”. He was unquestionably the right man to relieve the old board of their duties.
This was an important time in our history so we’ll take any excuse to relive, recall and read over those times. Nor do we make any excuse for our alert focus on events elsewhere.
The story of other parts of Scottish football is important to us as we will have a roll in its future. Celtic fans must be aware of the issues and be ready to voice their opinions should an opportunity come for clubs, the SPL or SFA to made a decision on how to pick up the pieces after a serious financial crisis at one or more clubs. We cannot be asleep when the hour arrives.
There is tons more of the usual fare in the magazine, including analysis of our January signings, fans’ stories, a look back at our 65-year-old Polish heritage and some of the reasons why there may be a million football clubs in the world, but there’s only one Celtic.
Hope you enjoy it. Thanks to everyone who has contributed or worked on it.

blantyretim, EXILED TIM, I want to be a billionaire….
I predict the tune will stop soon, however, you can hover your mouse over the video and a pause button will appear.
Mullet and Co, aye, but those 10ks were few and far between.
Voguepunter, yes, like the cover. We are fortunate to be helped by two very good designers.
canamalar, I’m imposing nothing on you. This is my site, I decide what I want to say or do on it and will resist any suggestion that I am “out of order” for doing so.
I don’t arrive on your physical or virtual location and tell you that you are out of order for doing what you want to do.
I was all ready to take it down as well. !*!*
Walking away with purpose but without making any sudden movements….

I was always under the impression that AJ Cronin was a Celtic supporter. I’m sure I read somewhere that he wrote letters of encouragement to the people who started Celtic mentioning his support for the Club.
*AJ Cronin was my maternal grandfather’s cousin, might have been only 2nd cousin, yours tae Googybhoy. He didnae come fae Dumbarton but went tae the local acadamy there as he was deemed precocious.
Although born in Cardross he had a Vale of Leven background, his da’s family owned a pub in Bridge Street Alexandria and a Cronin was an original shareholder with the ‘tic. Check Brian Wilson’s centenary book for confirmation of this.
Agree he is one of Scotland’s greatets authors, I have read all of his books but one that stands out is not about the Dumbarton area but Glaasgow and that’s “Desmonde” or “The Minstrel Boy” as it was also known where he talks about his school team losing a cup final at Hampden probably because of the colour of their strips.
Incidentally, Gregory Peck who played the lead role in the “Keys of the Kingdom” had an uncle Thomas Ashe who took part in the Easter Rebellion and died on humger strike in Mountjoy Jail in 1917.
Off to baw baws. Mon Neil stick thems not proven where the sun dont shine!!

Is Brain Cox likely to drink in Bairds??
==================================
No but he looks like he would like to.
It seems that he appears in every US movie where they want a grumpy, malevolent guy.
I heard he was a Tim but that could be mince too.

Thanks for that infor on AJC.
It was myself who started the thread on him on the last article.
I saw “The keys to the Kingdom” on tv over here in the US, and followed my nose from there.
Macjay blogged that his Dad and Uncles were at garnethill with AJC.

Som mes que un club, honestly, you put 10,000 clicks into an issue and someone comes away with “out of order” 20 minutes later because a song loads!
Anyway, I walked away without making any sudden movements….
Badlydrawnbhoys, thanks, we’ll get that fixed, assured you’ll get issue 6.
001, as you asked nicely!
canamalar
Ok! Headphones for the wean as well.
Salim Kerkar to the rescue! Aye right.
Canamalar
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha
smug, ha ha ha ha
he provides you the best Celtic blog available (IMHO) and he is smug because you can’t mute or press pause.
ONE thing which isn’t forced upon you is using this great site, I would suggest a bit of gratitude rather than the bad attitude…
anyway, I found your posts highly amusing, now pick yer toys up ya wean….

bjmac,
did do the mute bit, but a big bit too late, a wee warning about the music might have helped. There was a similar issue with a music attachment a while ago, which caused problems for quite a few cqn’ers.
but Paul67′s smug answer
An answer would require a question.
I didn’t see you ask anything – you gave out to him then moaned.
Still wondering how the sudden music could startle the baby when you had already moaned about it clashing with whatever else you had playing?
