Don’t book travel to Edinburgh, lobby for league merger

807

If you are missing your competitive football fix you’ll have devoured the fixture list this morning but it’s still over seven weeks until the first league game of the season, when the league flag will fly before we face Ross County (we will have played a Champions League qualifier five weeks from today).

Thereafter, due to the postponement of a home game to allow for a financially lucrative friendly, Celtic are on the road six times in nine league fixtures, so if our away form is anything like it was for much of last season, it’s likely we will be in the mix, instead of clear leaders, come the end of October.

After an absence of some time, Celtic have a local derby to look forward to.  They meet Partick Thistle at Firhill on 26th October with the return game at Celtic Park set for New Year’s Day.  We are scheduled for two trips to the Capital within a month but don’t go booking your flights for the Hearts game in September, just in case…..

Curious news today that Celtic director and BT chief executive, Ian Livingston, will leave the telecoms company after five years at the top to become Minister for Trade and Investment in the coalition government.  Livingston will serve from the House of Lords.  How about boosting the ailing Scottish football industry by lobbying for a merger with a neighbouring league?

Have you bought a ticket for Firday night’s Lions Roar event?  Join hundreds of Celtic fans and the Lisbon Lions to watch the Lisbon game and for a Q&A afterwards.

  1. The big Dutch lad that came on and played for Japan for the last 15 minutes looked like a big lump of wood.

     

     

    Obviously 15 minutes is no basis for analysis.

    “Wanyama was released by a Belgian club”, surely – sold as opposed released.

    World Cup finalist the bould Edson got a contract at Hoffenheim after his loan spell at Celtic, but he hasn’t settled there either and has gone on loan to FC Twente.

     

     

    In other stop-gap left-back news, Hunskelper Badr El Kaddouri is currently a free agent.

    #Hearts staff told at meeting that all cuts to be made today. Those being made redundant being called in one at a time now.

     

     

     

    I see we have returned to the normal Admin/liquidation processes, unlike Duff & Phelps no redundancies

    Glad to hear he landed on his feet.

     

     

    Not many better themselves after leaving us – that Henry Larkin fullah was about the only other one I can think of who went on to better things.

    The E-Tims comic is SUPERB. If you haven’t seen it check it out. Quite lengthy but first half is hilarious, second half answers any sevconians claim that Sevco are Rangers.
