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.

HMRC sound a bit annoyed,this should ensure they prepare well and do not suffer another defeat.
Would think this clears the way for Capello to leave.
My car tax is due this month. I wish it was owned by my dog in Monaco, or at the very least on loan to me from someone in the British Virgin Islands.

CQN Book Club –
I have never really been a big fan of Stephen King’s, and can only remember ever reading one of his books. However, having harboured an enduring fascination for the assassination of John F Kennedy, I borrowed a copy of King’s latest novel “11.22.63” about a week ago and finished it this afternoon.
It’s a fascinating and insightful read and is quite mind-blowing on several levels. It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea and is about 750 pages, but it worked for me.
I am now reading Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” for the first time since I was about 12 or 13.
Don’t ask.
a point will do the nite
Celtic haven’t been as fluid as they were earlier in the season. The natives will be hostile and their team will revert to Rangers tactics protected by the MIB. If we get out of there with 3 points I will be delighted.
Hopefully a 2-0 victory no injuries and no red cards.
Hope all fans attending get home safe too. This is the most dangerous ground in Scotland to visit especially with an evening kick off.

new article posted.
Talking of books.
I don’t read a great deal, but my wee Falkirk supporting buddy handed in a book for me at the weekend.
He say’s it’s a must read.
I would probably believe him if he didny support Falkirk!

I’ve been watching Celtic for over 35 years. I can see with my own eyes. Most games we get stuck in, the players are alert, moving into space, closing down the opposition. However there have been far to many games where they look lazy/sluggish and stand of the other team. This isn’t during the game its in the opening period.
To me over confidence is a sign of inexperience.
You can not play well, that happens, but not putting in 100% effort because you think you don’t need to is not acceptable.
Corals offering 7/4 for (HT/FT) Celtic/Celtic and 7/2 Draw/Celtic.
Also best price of 8/1 for 2-1 to the Hoops …

Hampden always reminds me of a dug track. So why not let the dogs use it? It was built and designed with them in mind!! What an embarrassment as a national stadium.
