If Newco think SFA board member Gary Hughes is likely to be a thorn in their side due to his Celtic supporter credentials, or because he referred to (Oldco) fans as “the great unwashed” in 2006, I suspect they are mistaken.
Hughes was a member of the SFA board which last year decided decline the SPFL’s decision to investigate Oldco’s practices. What has now happened, due to the Daily Record’s splash on Hughes’ comment this morning, is that he is effectively neutered on the subject of Newco/Oldco.
None of this is likely to impact on the forthcoming action of Rangers licence to compete in European football in 2011, Gary Hughes has no influence there whatsoever. But it helps create a beleaguered narrative, should matters go against the Rangers group of clubs. And that lot, great or otherwise, do love a beleaguered narrative.

Hmm….?
Good morning good Ghuys from a dry but overcast Noth Glasgow
Mint toffee treats welcome

Hail Hail

Greetings on this glorious 25th May from a wonderfully sunny Dumbreck. Looking forward to tonight.
Good to see BMCUW back? – he was never away. Also Bobby thanks for posting the video of the Big Cup win – slightly moist eyes this morning watching it again.
In other news:
sevco have approached UEFA demanding Celtic have their 1967 European Cup stripped for not wearing numbers on their backs.
A spokesman for the great unwashed said “We have decided to travel back in time and have all things Timmy removed, no surrender and WATP.”
Mint Toffee Treats
Welcome to CQN, your home from home.

Less Huns at Celtic park great.
More Huns at Ibrox watching themselves getting skelped great.
Happy Lisbon Day, everyone.
So envious of all the Bhoys and Ghirls going to One Night In Lisbon tonight. Was looking forward to it for months and then unexpected family commitments took over. If tonighit’s doo is anything like the doo in Casa do Alentjo last year then you’re in for a real treat. Have a great time, everyone.

1 year ago today. Hope the link works ?
OldTim: I’ll be in BV by 6pm. Flight arrives into Glasgow at 3pm so as long as there are no delays with that I will have plenty of time.
I reckon it’s time to ditch the old maxim,
“It’s not always easy being a Celtic supporter, but it’s always worthwhile.”
To;
“It’s easy to be a Celtic supporter, and always worthwhile!”
We have never had it so good.
Thoughts?
Goooooood Morning CQN – Double Treble (EBT) Champions ???????
Today is a very special day in the lives of us Celtic supporters
But for me is tinged with sadness and Huge Pride
My Auld Da, would have been 82 today
He was so proud when visited in hospital last year on our return from Lisbon
To sit in the hospital ward and wear his Lisbon 50 t-shirt, telling them all about his Sons visit to Lisbon, he was over the moon, to be known as a Celtic Supporter
Thanks for passing that on Dad –
Proud to be known as a Celtic Supporter
Enjoy your wee Huddle today, with Jinky and the Bhoys where you are
Hail Hail
Norriem at 9.02am a very poignant post amigo.
One with which most of us can relate to.
Hail Hail
D. :)
Now
For all those attending the One Night in Lisbon party tonight
Hope you all have a fantastic night
Be Proud Celebrating being Celtic supporters
Sorry I can’t join you all
Been told I need to start getting ready for a wedding I’m going to in 4 hrs ?
Neganon, I fully understood what you had said last night
Not sure it merited any response from Celtic, not this time
But for me
Proud to be known as a Celtic supporter
Mr Hughes comments were very mild ?
NORRIEM,
Great to have the memories. Your dad would and still will be very proud of you and your family.
No doubt see you tonight.
As I have been offline most of the last week are there any updates on Lionsroar67?
Ps NORRIEM,
Obviously I won’t see you tonight ? Enjoy the wedding.
Hello this is WEE BGFC. Morning Timland from The People’s Republic of The Plains. Whit aboot they clowns at the other side of the Clyde!! No explanation what-so-ever. I doubt they’ll fill that stand or, indeed, the stadium. They’re a bitter bunch right enough. Don’t worry, there’s plenty to talk Da into letting us go anyway ;).

Hello this is WEE BGFC. Oh, and also, Happy 51st anniversary of the winning of the Big Cup! :D

Just heading out for an hour
Lionsroar67 got out of hospital on Tuesday
Now in recovery mode ?
Stitches out today, but his wound is infected, and still a lot of pain
Keep him in thoughts, still a bit to go
Hail Hail
POV – Pog – PMTyH ??
LR67 if you are lurking all the best, I had an infection from my hip replacement in February and it can be worrying, but I was treated at home by a nurse and antibiotics and the nurses were brilliant.
I am not trying to belittle your surgery, as it was probably a lot worse than mine.
Try and stay positive. KTF
God bless
D. :)??
I just read a comment by Peter Lawwell stating that there is a new roof being fitted to the south stand. Anyone have any more detail on this?
I find the latest ramblings by dodgy Dave infuriating. I know we (the club) have a more measured approach, but am coming to the conclusion that we should just go in both barrels from now on.
Marspapa @11.09 hrs yesterday.
I have just logged on and notice your kind reply yesterday morning.
It would have been a pleasure to meet for a chat and a pint. Hopefully another time.
Inveraray was truly beautiful yesterday . I have been a few times previously, but yesterday the weather seemed to enhance the surroundings and history.
Have a safe journey home today and again many thanks for your offer. It was most appreciated.
HH.
First, they came for the self-confessed Celtic fans………….
Norriem,
We can share this date, my mum passed away last night. Today will be full of memories.
Transfer rumour from KDS, bid in for John McGinn, £2.5m + Scott Allan

Very sad news may your mum RIP
One aspect of the DR article about being a self confessed Catholic is the obvious follow up question.
“So what”
Then
” what are you saying here? That because they are Catholics they hate Rangers the way you hate Celtic?”
” In your hate for Celtic do you think they will act as unethically as you do in a way that is now under a charge of dishonesty ?”
Ever considered that you might be wrong?
That Celtic minds don’t work like that?
Ever considered that you only see matters in a way that suits your inner judgement and that judgement could be wrong?
Ever thought of opening and so possibly changing your minds by examining what you think and why?
Therein lies the problem and what the DR publish is the manifestation of a no surrender mindset that as reality is showing hurts them much more than the Celtic mind hurts Celtic. A mindset that permeates Scottish society to an unknown degree.
They are in a Hell of their own choosing and eventually He’ll will mend them. That, if you want to stand back and observe, is how reality works for all of us.
It is the self correcting nature of a universe unfolding as it does.
KevJ
Interesting post but how much of it is based on events being giving a meaning that supports your inner beliefs?
No criticism. Just suggesting you stand back and think about what you think and why and entertain the possibility you might be wrong.
Good health starts in our minds.
Morning all
Just popped in to say happy anniversary of the greatest day in our history. HH
PRESTONPANS BHOYS
Very sad to read about your mum, may she rest in peace with the angels. Stay strong kiddo. HH

I suppose the great advantage of being a self-confessed Catholic must be the time saved waiting penitently in line outside the confessional.
Happy “Los Leones de Lisboa” day to the Celtic family everywhere.
And thank you Gary Hughes for providing a new label that can be innocently dropped into conversations for maximum effect.
An upgrade on last year’s Progress.
Enjoy the day one and all.
Hail Hail
