It’s heartening to see Celtic linked with a raft of players over the weekend and encouraging for many but I’d ignore everything you read about a Celtic target this far out from the transfer window opening. All an agent needs to do is post a DVD to Lennoxtown to be able to legitimately link his player to Celtic. The club will also scout up to 100 players a season, enough to keep you busy on the stats sites for hours, but even Ronny doesn’t know who he will be signing at this stage of the season.
After 11 wins in 13 league games Aberdeen’s title challenge inevitably slipped. They’ve won once since February, coming from behind against Motherwell at Pittodrie, as Celtic, Dundee and Partick Thistle have taken points from them. We are at the stage of the season when injuries, suspensions and fatigue kick in. Whereas Celtic were able to add quality to their squad in January, Aberdeen have to work on a tighter budget. That the gap at the top is only seven points, with Celtic having a game in hand, says a lot for the direction of travel at Aberdeen.
If Ronny gets his treble wish, this season’s title will be a lot tighter than the last treble, won at a canter by Martin O’Neill. It was a weaker league back then, Aberdeen were rubbish.
Talking about direction of travel, have you been watching the ebay auction for Hospitality for four for a day at this year’s Open Golf Championship at St Andrews? This is a unique prize and has attracted some incredible support.
The auction is in aid of the Celtic Quick News appeal to build a fourth school kitchen in Malawi for Mary’s Meals. Shuttle transport for the five minute journey to and from the golf course as needed, with beer, Gin and Whisky tastings throughout the day with the master distiller.
You also have the chance to create a unique CQN single malt whisky cask worth potentially £5000 for future CQN charities, and you will receive a bottle of this very special single malt whisky to commemorate the great day when it is bottled in several years.
Eden Mill is Scotland’s newest and most innovative distillery and brewery incorporated in February 2012! Located just 2 miles from the famous Old Course itself it provides a perfect base for hospitality for yourself and 3 friends on a day of your choosing at the forthcoming open golf championship on July 16th to 19th.
But this is so much more than just a day’s hospitality at the home of golf. Before taking to the course to watch, you will enjoy a breakfast roll or two and discuss your perfect single malt whisky with the master distiller.
Whilst you and your friends are enjoying the golf he will seek to surpass your favourite whisky by using the best barley to create the right wash and recommending the right type of barrels for our very own unique CQN 1/4 cask of single malt. A cask which will mature and provide over £5000 of future funding for our charities in a few years’ time.
You will return to the distillery by shuttle bus for lunch and an optional beer tasting and then for afternoon tea with a tutored gin and whisky tasting with the owner capping off a memorable, unique and very special day for your group and for CQN.
My thanks to Eden Mill for their incredible support. You can bid on the auction here.

Ah well,there goes the inheritance!
Looking back overnight I read Herbo’s post re Joe Hansen and his credentials for POTY. I checked back on the monthly winners and he features only once so far. No mention of Scott Brown and interestingly RD was only MOTM once as compared to John Hughes (twice). Even Alan Archibald featured once. Whatever happened to him?
There’s obviously still a bit to go in the season but from previous monthly winners there is no clear favourite…yet.
My how the desperados in this hun hovel have thrown all their eggs into the gasl’s basket case.
If and hopefully when it falls flat, it could be a remake of Falling down..

Absolutely not!
HT and Morrissey will vouch fur me aw day :-)

Welcome to CQN, however, you’ll need to give me a clue as to your identity.
By hook or by, crook….definitely by crook…the huns will be back in the same league as, Celtic next season, enjoying…mibbery-cheating-whitewashing-outlawed-songs being-slung-not-challenged…whilst, the Green Brigade will be done roon every coarner that they turn, and the Celtic hierarchy will look the other way and, if pushed…they’ll agree with the orc-establishments findings, ensuring that…the best we’ll get is…the back of the bus.
The game of football in Scotland was FLUCKED…the minute that, David Holmes made his move to bring in the ‘beast’ to turn the 2k-crowd-appeal-huns-into…the cheating bassas that they became…especially when Murray took the reigns and, with more than a little help from his friends…destroyed the game irreparably?…time will tell.
Moving forward to today….the game was destroyed…from a Celtic supporters point of view when…Celtic’s meek hierarchy allowed themselves to be coerced into attending a govt-summit after the so-called ‘shame-game’ when, Celtic had brought disgrace to the nation by having the audacity to have – ‘3’ – players booked!
The ‘shame-game’ fall-out was a golden open-goal for the Celtic hierarchy to, drag Scotland’s ‘little’ secret onto the world stage by, announcing that the club would be having a ‘national’ media conference…local media to be banned – effective immediately – and, explain to the world audience exactly…why…Celtic FC would ‘NOT’ be attending ‘ANY’ govt-summit coz, jiggery-poakery-chicanery-corruption-etc…cozzed the ‘shame-game’….’NOT’ 3 Celtic players being booked and, this was the perfect opperchancity for the Celtic hierarchy to put on display…on the world stage…the ‘dossier’ so often, threateningly bragged about by Dr John Reid…by doing this…I believe that…today…Glasgow Celtic FC would be playing in England in some sort of…Sky TV League…and, the huns and the SFA would be going through their own version of the Nuremberg-Trials…but, when…as a club…speaking on behalf of…YOU and I btw…they looked the other way at…
The LNS outcome – Their response was grounds for wholesale sackings at executive-level of Celtic FC / PLC.
The huns being granted a licence – It’s the huns that got a licence…not Sevco or any p#sh like that…Celtic sold tickets to their fans to play Rangers FC…not Sevco….anyway….the huns being allowed to play football at ‘any’ level whilst £140 millions worth of crimes were waiting to be paid, should have seen the Celtic hierarchy handing in their notice to Scottish Football and, telling the world why!
The Aberdeen fans banner about – “Your Silence Is Deafening!” – should have seen the Celtic support at the front door of CP but, they were too busy gorging on…jelly & ice-cream…how good will it feel when the huns are back…sticking it to you next season and, the ‘bored’ who you will all vote back in by yer purchase of yer SB…look the other way whilst yeez are shafted in all directions?
It’ enough tae make yer heart go….”Whit happened tae the Celtic?”
It’s no there any mair…win the treble…paper over the cracks of a club without structure and…strap yerselves in and hope the big bad huns dont bite coz…you’ll no be allowed tae bite them back…Orange-Masonic-Scotland wulny allow the huns tae ‘really’ die…joost kid-on their died to get away wi no paying the £140 million back…go doon the leagues…work their way back up…then…hey-presto…all will be forgotten and, they’ll be given the red-carpet treatment and…as always…Timmy will be on the ootside…lookin in.
BlantyreTim – Delayed Happy Birthday tae yer lovely lass.
POG – Delayed Happy Birthay fella.
Hail Hail
….oot.
Morning Kev.
Are those the same Aberdeen fans who gave the SFA their money via Scottish Cup gate receipts and national team?
My friends in Celtic,
COYBIG, keep it lit RD.
Even down in Alton Towers everybody knows that the GSL is not a fit and proper person.
Absolutely stinks, but was it ever in doubt?
Hypothetical question : If the Huns are in the same league as us next season I wonder if we will see a rise in like for like ST sales ? ( Maybe I should have said division, rather than league )
IMO, if the huns are playing in our division it will make it far more difficult to autonomously join the English set ups.
Have we missed a trick over the last few years ?
HH to all.

Great read,mate. And it led me to another one when I clicked on ‘Patsy Gallacher’

Grateful thanks,bud. Reading about him was like watching him!
Goooooooooooooooooooooood morning

Mr Lawell has intimated to a friend of my dad’s that should sevco make it to the top league ST prices will rise
Now if we are losing x million without them why increase prices if they return?
Maybe because we as a club want them back, sad mad and bad
Ps
How will we tick without our heartbeat Broonie
is the question for me tonight
Life’s not easy for the homeless,by any standards. Oxford,the town where the collective IQ drops to zero when the students go home in summer,want to make it worse.
I just signed the petition, “Oxford City Council: Don’t make life harder for Oxford’s rough sleepers.”
I think this is important. Bloody disgraceful,in fact!
Here’s the link:

Thanks in advance,folks.

Good man!
Good Morning Bhoys
Did you know that on this day in 1994 Kurt Cobain is found dead and in 2009 Celtic skelped Falkirk 4-0, with goals from Wigan Manager (Heid) 29; Vennegoor of Hesselink 62; McGeady 78 & O’Dea 90
Enjoy this day in history, and the Glasgow derby
Kittoch
And East Kilbride is beautifully sunny seeing Jobo is away
Blue sky , big sun , cold wind – way down south..
Brief encounter with the Inter mad old codger from down the valley.-
Me – ‘ see your lot are doing double training for the rest of the season’
Him – ‘ Pointless – that lot need heart and testicle transplants ‘
Normally by this time of year Celtic have launched their season ticket renewal campaign for the following season.
Nothing doing this year so far. Is it possible Celtic are waiting to find out the Orcs fate in the play offs before pushing season tickets for next year as prices will change dependent on whether Sevco are in the top flight or not?
BMCWP,
As a non-golf playing resident of Largs, I wonder if the every day gale down here is considered a built in hazard on the golf course. Tbh, I would love to be able to play golf but I could never hit the wee ba with the smack that my auld Dad could do naturally.
BT,
If they come into our division, there will be a clamour of tickets when we come up against them.
The recent LC semi demonstrated that.
I think it is generally accepted that their absence had an effect on our sales.
So much so, that Celtic reduced ST prices.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that they will return to the level of pre Liquidation.
The Celtic support always have had the means and the right to show disapproval…and that is in resisting buying tickets.
Alas, when it came to games at Hampden, such as cup finals, that right has never been exercised.
Therefore, the support are happy to join in the club’s acceptance of the SFA/ SPFL and all it’s works and pomps.
The customer is always right, right?
Criminalising rough sleepers / homelessness. Jesus wept. Nice council.
Glasgow derby day again. Broony gets a night off so Bitton and Johansen in the middle? We should still have more than enough to take another step closer to the title.
Talk in the media about a possible new Glasgow derby next season. Well they need to get up first. And the evidence of this season is that we are miles ahead of The Rangers and of Hearts who will finished a mile above them whatever happens. Neither will be title challengers next season.
Did Jobo get away?
He was on Twitter this morning, bemoaning still sitting on a plane nearly two hours after take off time.
Seems there are air traffic controllers strikes over Europe.
TTT
The Bhoy he said this to left him in no uncertain terms that he could stick his increase
This Bhoy comes from across the water not far from you
Given the total lack of care our board has shown the support I’m not surprised
I as I think you are aware do not have a ST but mini does and I wouldn’t want to deprive her of her Celtic heritage as she is too young to let the politics of the club bother her
She has to listen to my dad every game though 8))
Thistle will be tough tonight as they are fighting for their lives.
They will be desperate for a point, before they cone up against a revitalised, unmulleted Motherwell on Saturday.
I hope we have a replacement for Brown,, who is not Johansen. He is need further forward.

To cut a long story short :))))))

Golf is merely a sideshow to the craic in the clubhouse on Mondays and Wednesdays,as far as my Dad and his pals are concerned.
Though they know to take it seriously when the occasion demands it!
I couldnae get to grips wi it either-actually,my grip was the main reason for that!-and it has long peed me off as I quite enjoy the game. But then a topped drive,and my loathing of the stupid bloody waste of time resurfaces!
Enjoy the match tonight if you’re going. Much better way to have fun…

Bloody disgrace. I’ll mail the editor of The Oxford Mail tonight when I go into work and ask if his paper has a view on it.
Should add I work for the same company. I’ll also ask him for a link to all articles in the paper on the subject.
I was in Scotland for two weeks to the end of March so I have may have missed them,but I have seen nothing in that paper about this.
Maybe Celtic could sell Old Firm mini packages gauranteeing tickets for Old Firm games..Set a minimum price and sell them to the highest bidder..Zombie supply and demand.
Think of the money CSC.
ST holders can purchase 2 extra tickets today for semi final before they go on general sale tomorrow
Drying clothes weather in EK. Sorry Jobo can’t match your time keeping.
leftclicktic,
I reckon they would need to get through Hibs and Motherwell to be promoted – neither would be easy.
It’s possible Motherwell may catch Ross County though – I think I would rather them play the former at the moment. Not sure how the fixture work out n the bottom half, but with them playing each other in the final games who knows?
LEFTCLICKTIC
Heartwarming stuff,mate. Wants to look her best for her grand-daughter,and so she should!
I assume SP was his usual ball of uncontrollable energy? Nae luck,hope you had a lie-doon when you got home. I reckon you deserved one…
BMCUW
Signed, what an appalling lack of compassion.
South Of Tunis
Maybe the Huns could sell t-shirts commemorating the games? Like for £8.00 a go?
Oh, hold on…
Morning Timland from a cold and windy hun free mountain valley.
The hun will be back nothing surer, and I am in agreement with KevJ’s post earlier, the suits should never have gone along with the “summit” after the shame game, I said so at the time, we did nothing wrong, yet we are the club who were punished big time.
Am aff oot, painting to do.
