Issue 5 of CQN Magazine is out today with some exciting changes. We’re moving print production into the UK for this issue, which will be available after the game against Rangers, with 8 extra pages not included the online version, covering all the drama from next week’s game.
We have a couple of retrospective articles touching on the momentous events of 2011, including an interview with George Galloway, discussing his book about the life Neil Lennon has had to endure. As you would expect, George doesn’t shirk out of the tackle.
We also have an excellent interview with Elaine C Smith, talking about growing into her life as a Celtic fan, her work and tackling domestic violence. We cover the recent Football Bill and question the possible agendas behind a senior police officer, and recent striking referee, reporting Celtic fans to Uefa.
We stick our first toe in the short story water, a clarion call to Reclaim the colour Orange, tons of great fan memories, many of which you’ll share and plenty more, it’s all there, including typos and deliberate mistakes!
You can order now with credit/debit card or Paypal and buy direct from the UK for only £3.50 + £1.50 postage and packing. Shipping costs £2 to ROI, £3 to Europe and £4 to the rest of the known universe. Click on the link below to order.

Gordan

I would wager that the powers that be would try and throw us out of the league if Lenny took the players off the pitch, and it sure does sound like a good idea :>)
correction !!!
That team v Kilmarnock, Bobby Murdoch was good but not that good!
He played at inside right.
tommytwiststommyturns
I heard that too. I also heard that before the game on 28th he will be teaching young Mums how to make right breastfeefing.

When you walked the WHW did you ever stay in the Inversnaid Hotel and if so what was it like?
dirtymac
Offence? No, come on.
I don’t know what are Zheng Zhi wages but that Argentinian gets 15,4 million Euros.
Crazy stuff.
Any roads, I think everyone will find that A. McGregor, S. Whittaker and S. Davis are all on a hunner millionty poonds per day (payment pending)

You can’t possibly mean these honest mistakes happen every week , can you .
Surely the football authorities would step in and stop this.
Oh that’s right , that’s what would happen anywhere else except the Best Little (sectarian cesspit ) Country in The World .
One Scotland , many Cultures.
Aye Right.
Anybody hear chat on talksport re james forrest? Guest at Sunderland game, 13m was mentioned apparently.
I am Dario Conca…….

That idea gets better the more I think about it .

If by ‘cultures’, you mean those putrid growths which fester when left unattended, then yes: many cultures indeed.

Auldheid,
Sweeping generalisation there … I think many have loftier ambitions than our custodians and are permanently scunnered by the lack of a European prescence year upon year. With our size and history we are massive under achievers on many levels in stark contrast to our finances. I and many that I know have analysed this closely over 40 years but have become resigned to it but cynically so. It is never addressed and our Old Firm safety net has held us back.
If we were regularly being turfed out in the 2nd phase CL I think would satisfy the permanent cynics like us. I would love to see any of them show the same passion for addressing the failures on and off the park as the illicit chanting.
It kind of reaffirms that we are not staring at the stars but wallowing in the mud.
Hail Hail

Good job I turned up then ;)
Seriously I do think everybody’s horizons need to widen beyond their own agendas.
BIG CUP WINNERS
It is definitely either that statue or another in the vicinity.
Re the building behind it. If you find the statue of John Knox you’ll notice that his back is to the church. Apparently this was at his own request as even he realised it’s real origins :-)
Cathedral house…from. M8 north head past royal infirmary at lights just after religious museum turn left cathedral house sits on right about 100yds….from high street. Again turn right at lights at provands lordship house sits 100 ids on right….or get a taxi !!
ElDiegoBhoy @ 22:13…
See my correction at 22:08.
Blantyretim @ 22:08… I was fortunate to have been at the game.
On the subject of the Orange strip, not for me!
Was the great ZZ mentioned? I heard we are planning a statue, yes a statue, for Zheng Zhi. Currently, as reported he is back training at lennoxtown.
ZZ – hero

Just had a flick through the Christmas Celtic View. Pages 56 and 57 are brilliant with eleven dogs proudly wearing Celtic colours. :-))
Some classic poses there.

Coloured guy in toilet, made me think what I went through as a Catholic in a housing scheme during Seventies.
Do you know what, F*** Everybody and you can jail me if you want!
Mum Catholic from Bridgeton, Dad Catholic from Larkhall.
Sick of being treated like I am unmentionable.
F*** Celtic if they want to Whitewash my history.

A Hail! Hail! and a tear…

“Shamrock strip”? Pretty sure most of us referred to that strip as our ” Irish ” strip. Have some great memories of Celtic playing in that kit including a very tousy Glasgow Cup match at Parkhead against Rangers. We recorded a rare win and the young Bertie Auld stuck it to a few of them.
What I would give to put that young man on the field to face them next week.where did I place that time machine.
PS Gordon did you see my 19.30pm post re tonight’s London Evening Standard and Celtic being fined for sectarian singing?
