The 12th annual CQN Open Golf Day will take place at Aberdour Golf Club in Fife on Friday 29 July. Our annual trip to Aberdour is always a fantastic day. Those who play golf (not me) enjoy the stunning Fife course, while we all participate in an evening’s entertainment and chat.
The day is always fully subscribed, so if you want to attend, please email Taggsybhoy at cqnopen2016@gmx.co.uk . Cost for the full day’s golf and evening meal is £80. There are a limited number of dinner and evening-only places available at a cost of £45.
We’ve raised tens of thousands of pounds for good causes far and wide over the previous 11 events, and enjoyed some great times. See you there.
Aberdeen’s visit to Fir Park on Saturday looked like a stiff test on paper before news broke that the Motherwell squad has been devastated by a virus, which has forced the club to cancel training this week. There’s little Celtic can do about that short of extending their lead to four points earlier tomorrow afternoon with their visit to Rugby Park.
Kilmarnock are marooned in the play-off position: 8 points from bottom, and five from Inverness and Hamilton above them. They’ve scored only once in their last four home games but have the curious claim to be unbeaten by Celtic this season.
We looked sloppy on our first trip to Rugby Park in the autumn and impotent when we faced them at Celtic Park. Kilmarnock would perhaps suggest they simply figured out how to frustrate us. They’re not alone with that belief.
I was concerned about last week’s game against Thistle and Kilmarnock tomorrow. Our next outing, in two weeks against Hearts, will take care of itself, the adrenaline will pump for that one, but we need to create our own intensity away to teams in the bottom half of the table.
We didn’t turn in a classic performance last week but, straight from the off, it was clear we were sharper than at any point since thumping Hamilton two months ago. A focus returned to the squad (as did a Commons and a Bitton). With the large uptake of tickets by Celtic fans I expect our edge to be evident from the start.

Well Kilmarnock hasnt always been a good hunting ground for the hoops over the years so today is an important game and the Bhoys must be up for it. We must keep the pressure on Aberdeen who play after our game today. H.H.

Would like us to try three at the back today – Charlie and Dedryk with Erik sitting just in front – when one breaks forward the other two sit.
Lustig and Tierney at full back.
Diamond in midfield –
Bitton
Brown – – McGregor
Commons
Griff
Bench – Goalie – GMS – Armstrong – Roberts – Ambrose – CKR – Johansen.
Probably I will be totally wrong.

cant understand tims walking. its never changed in scotland and never will .
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
I don’t see it as walking. I have always known that cheating and corruption existed in the professional game in Scotland and we always had to produce extra special teams to overcome this. However, the big difference now is that when we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to expose this and do something about it, we don’t.
To me this is our club cheating its own fans. I for one will not allow this to happen to me. I work bloody hard for the pittance I receive – I’m damned if I’m going to throw any more of it at Scottish football which is as rigged and as false as WWE wrestling. My own personal decision might not change things but at least I will no longer be contributing to the sporting fraud that is Scottish Football.
I see the scum Record have found someone who is moaning about moving their seat to accomodate the standing area,and are telling us all the fans are “Raging”.Big nonsense headline from the rag that dare not print a morsel about the biggest piece of corruption,Res 12,to ever hit the Scottish game.Surprised,No.
lymmbhoy…
Cheers mate. HH
Many thanks for the prayers , thoughts , best wishes & congratulations . CQN at it’s best.

Bus jam packed as we are on the road again. Looks like Twenty’s Plenty!

Good morning all
With all picks now in I am able to let you all have the details showing where this weeks hopes and dreams are resting – the figures are shown after each team name.
And do you know what pleases me most this week? The fact that despite the regular mumping and moaning over my choice of ‘difficult’ fixture lists, all 10 games have somebody’s hopes riding on them ;-)
Good luck everyone and enjoy the lunchtime entertainment – In Ronny I Trust!

Could people please refrain from comparing Scottish football to WWE. This is unfair as the WWE is not rigged towards one particular wrestler.
Sun splitting the skies in the west of Scotland. . Sounds like full buses heading down to Ayrshire and from what I hear all up for the match and backing the bhoys and manager .
Really hoping for a good performance and scoring a few goals .. and would love to hear both ends of the stadium singing ronnys name at full time with a ronny roar dished out and a Girfuy to the smsm .
I doubt he will start today but hoping Patrick roberts gets a run as i think he would destroy the killie defence
Meet the new Boss –
Italian media are reporting that Gianni Infantino has signed a very lucrative sponsorship deal with the Chinese conglomerate – Wanda Group.
Two things of interest.
Philippe Blatter ( nephew of Sepp ) is President / CEO of the Sports part of The Wanda Empire .
The Wanda Group are part owners of Atletico Madrid who are currently involved in a legal dispute with FIFA re the signing of under age players.
Hey Ho CSC – way down south .Warm and sunny !
M6Bhoy,
we have had plenty of chances in the past to blow open the scandal that is Scottish football.The religious discrimination practised by the old Huns was a festering sore to our game,but we ignored it for 100 years.We took on UEFA and said we would not play against an Iron Curtain team in the European Cup,because of Russian aggression,which was unheard of then,and won.They threw out all Iron Curtain teams,and re-drew the competition.A wonderful piece of work by the same club who never confronted the scandal once,on our own doorstep.
This is what I hate about the constant tirade against this board,lots of it justified,lots not.People with agendas,always seem to look back with rose coloured spectacles.I have said before,I cant remember a board at Celtic,that acted really in our interests,and that goes back 50 years.
If anyone does not believe that Scotland is racist see the article in the herald today on the focus group targeting 1916 uprising commemorations under the offensive behaviour at football act. Also police. Scotland stopping events.
Quite quite astonishing.
Facism on the march.
Can someone post Paul 67s email please ?

The wee rumour that kicked around here was that to secure the 2006 Welmeisterschaft Deutschlands Blatter The Younger became a very wealthy junior partner on the Gravy Train…
LOL @ the Hun Monkeys last night.

——————————————————————————————————————-
Farrygate? I rest my case
As for agendas, I have just one. I just want to see the game played on a level playing field. If we give up on trying to achieve this then we may as well give up. I have therefore (just about) given up on Celtic and Scottish Football. I say just about as I understand the board can still act before the end of this month. If they don’t then I’m oot.
Angel Gabriel – delighted for you and the Dame :-)
Now this also deserves a repost –

Good morning CQN
Police Scotland still anti Irish, Police Scotland where the hideous OB act started http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/14370135.Commemoration_event_axed_as_police_deploy_anti_sectarian_football_unit_to_focus_on_Easter_Rising_celebrations/?ref=twtre
Maureen McBride, academic, “Police Scotland’s preoccupation with all things related to Irish Republicanism is rooted in a lack of understanding of what sectarianism in Scotland actually is.”
Can’t wait now for all those queens highway marches being ditched in the name of no sectarianism on our streets
Now COYBIG

I read that this morning, it’s an absolute disgrace. Police Scotland really need to be reigned in but their political masters seem happy with their work.
SSN preview of the game – Tanner to Thommo and Davie Provan- ‘Have Celtic got a slip-up in them?’
Looks like a someone stretched a scrotum over an annoying wee hamster.
Looking forward to the game today. Can’t see Killie scoring more than 1 goal so 2 goals should see us collect 3 points.
Motherwell will give Aberdeen a good game but Is till expect the gap to be one point and a game in hand at 4.50 pm today
Starry Plough
Yes – that rumour got big licks here.
Local bedroom pirates giving big licks to Glasgow group – Golden Teacher .I like them a lot.. ( especially the Dennis Bovell remixes ).
Big up !
Reading back
Why do we need somebody else’s opinion.
Simple, because that is the fundamental function of a blog like CQN.
HH.
Any football forum is a collection of opinions with a few facts thrown in .
As long as you remember that no matter how many or how few words involved – no matter how many agree with each others – no opinion is worth less or more than any others and that includes the host and his pals
Roy crappie. Police Scotland and their political masters are pursuing a racist agenda.
Will orange marches now be banned?
This is modern Scotland. And it’s getting worse not better.

Interesting team today, no width in the forward areas to speak of. And two up front!
And that should be Roy croppie! Apologies for the bloody auto spell checker.
