With financial projections which provide entertaining reading, Rangers International promoted director, Walter Smith, to the position of chairman. Smith immediately proclaimed, “Unity among the directors is vital”, although he was not asked about the forthcoming EGM where fellow directors Malcolm Murray and Chris Morgan face dismissal, while a third director, Charles Green, suggested he was going to resign by today, but has not got around to filling out the form yet (does this guy have ‘form’ when it comes to filling Companies House forms?)…..
They don’t do unity very well.
The only show in town is season ticket sales; for all clubs. Maybe Celtic should appoint Martin O’Neill to the board for a few weeks to allow the newspapers to provide some bluster for those who more convinced by headlines and sound-bites than strategy? Perhaps not. Let’s stick to plan.
Lisbon Lion in Ayrshire, send reinforcements!
Willie Wallace will be at Waterstons in Ayr from 1-3pm this afternoon, get along (with camera) if you can.
Tomorrow Willie will be at the Celtic Superstore from 12-2pm before going to the Celtic Shop, Clydebank, from 3.30-5.30pm. Get out and meet the man.
Great to meet so many people at Waterstons, Stirling, last night. The store sold out of Willie’s autobiography. There was actually a queue of people waiting to enter the store at one point.
Just a few days left on the auction for the signed Messi strip, a magnificent piece of football memorabilia. Keep an eye on it here.

It’s beyond belief that such a talentless man can hang around football like the smell from last nights curry for years and years getting hand outs and leg ups and still be a total failure, Scottish Football where ineptitude is a quality admired and rewarded.

Canny understand the storminateacup garbage about Kris Commons.
About a year ago the Scotland manager publicly stated he was SEVENTH in the queue in his position.
The only shock about the fella deciding not to be available is that he was so polite about it.
Enjoy your break,Kris,Lisa et al.
Will Duffield be using his licence-payer-funded payments from the BBC to pay off his creditors,or will those payments be to a different company,owned by his wife perhaps,which employs him as a consultant and pays him a small proportion of the fee charged?
Just received the Final Adjudication from ASA re; the huns being Scotland’s most successful team……………..I now believe in Santa.

Can he not just become ‘The Gordon Smith’ ?
His daughter could buy his house for £100 and then left him stay in it.
That’s the way things are done these days, I hear.

No kidding! Mind you, 1970-74 I played left back on Saturdays in the London Banks league and sometimes for Blackheath at Hackney Marshes on Sunday mornings. That was war! Later, when I played in Germany, they wondered what planet I had come from. :-)

I always celebrate by scoffing an entire pack of Blue Ribbands and very tasty they are with a pleasant Assam.
Wonder who he’s referring to………………
Gregory Ioannidis @LawTop20 33m
It offends against fairness & justice for a national federation to have secret agreements with an applicant club and/or its company operator
I believe he’s in Glasgow this weekend.
Bookies.
My local bookies board says —–
Croatia to win ———— 1/4 .
I thought I’d take it ———— but he wouldn’t take it .
” Sorry —–a draw or an away win only “.
I’ll need to go somewhere else for the opportunity to buy money

Wiggy Smith,
Everything he touches turns to SOLD!
Mr.Brown. Useless eejit or rhyming slang for circus performer? Both, I’d say.
Duffield’s son Grant is a football agent, a few more deals like Charlie Adams and he can bail his aul man out
DJBEE – many thanks for posting that like …. as i read that link i started to think it might be fake … saddened to find it is indeed true.
Power to the people.
Celtic … more than just a club. CQN more ……than just a football blog
That clown Tam Cowan has just spent 20 mns attacking Kris for going on holiday and letting his ‘country’ down blah blah blah
Frank McAvennie then asks him if he should have played more for Scotland, the unfunny one answers: ‘not necessarily…’

I thought that with Gavin Masterton’s “handshake banking” the bank just kept on giving the brethren more loans?
It seems to be that way for Minty.
Kris Common’s Scotland “career” was over the first time he pulled on the Hoops..

Grant Smith played for Swindon a few years back.
An unbelievable player.
Words failed me any time I saw him play,but they seldom failed the rest of the crowd.
Im sure winning gemmell could add anogher chapter to his series now that duffield has gone bankrupt and fergie has retired. ..
WG
You know you want to…
Good afternoon friends
How was your run jobo?
Cowan & Cosgrove getting stuck into Kris on Shortie the now. Craigie ‘ sing the sash Broon ‘ apparently did the same this morning in some rag.
Could it be that Kris realises all his football dreams can be realised in green & white hoops. Why should he turn up for Scotland squads to be ignored for inferior players?
Could it also be that the people who get worked up about Scotland do so coz their club teams are crap?
Why any Celtic player would want to play for that mob I have no idea.
I wouldn’t draw the curtains to watch them play in my back garden.
Really not surprised their is no incisive chat on Sevco by MSM.
Pursue the agenda, crucify a Tim.That always has and always will be their mantra.
Hurting Huns
AS Monaco have just (today) announced their season ticket prices for 2013-14. Cheapest seat is €200, which is up from €75 last year (highest price this year is €900, which gets you a seat near Bono, Ringo, or Prince Albert). This increase reflects the difference between Ligue 2 and Ligue 1 I guess, and of course Monaco’s spending for the coming season will see them becoming the new Manchester City. For comparison, Olympique Lyonnais have season ticket prices starting at €169 for adults. And Ligue 1 is a pretty good league. Monaco of course are in negotiations with Ligue 1 clubs about tax, so their position is not guaranteed. .
“The Rangers” are asking a minimum of £258 for the 3rd tier in Scotland. Even their concessionary prices are higher than the Monaco or Lyon minimum.
I’d be tempted to say that the product provided by “The Rangers” was overpriced, but I’m sure that they would not rip off their supporters. It’s probably just market pricing; that people in Govan are willing to spend more on high-quality football than people in Lyon or Monaco. Even I would not suggest that the fans can afford more in Govan than in Monaco.
And besides, I’m sure that if the comparison was made, fans of “The Rangers” would assume that Monaco fans would be crazy to fork out for a club who’s future in the league is not guaranteed….

now what to pick in the Derby ?
BMCUW- Ha ha, a chip off the old block then!
Good luck to Thomas Rogne hope he finds a club, indicative though that Celtic are ruthless in the persuit of another quality Centre Back.

To be fair Kris Commons’ Scotland career was stop start.
He didn’t have too many outstanding games for Scotland and the ones he did were against Northern Ireland and the Faroes in friendlies.
The joke was that clown Levein who said there were 6 better players than him out there in his position. Well we’ve yet to see them.
I think wee Gordon would have got the best out of Kris for Scotland but that is by the by now. A shame but Alan Shearer stopped at 30 when he could have gone on. I don’t see a big deal in Kris leaving but the SMSM need some anti-Celtic story.
A shame they never called up anyone every time Rangers players pulled out of squads (frequently) and the week before we had to go to Ibrox in 2008 SIX of thems pulled out and all played on the Saturday. Our mugs played and we lost and they even tried to send Barry Robson home injured (and he wasn’t).
That Old Firm bias eh?

I used to have a few beers in The Players’ Lounge with the centre-half and his dad.
I suggested that Smith must,surely,be doing it in training.
His reply warranted a red card…..

Sicilian radio stated that Falcao has signed for Monaco . 5 year deal . He cost them 55 million euros.
Big sun / clear blue sky and a very cold wind -way down south . The wind is very unusual .
Did ole winbag Broon give Kris boydichenko pelters when he chucked Scotia?
Embdy remember e team called Rangers? I can’t recall any outbursts from wee paw Broon when the withdrawal of their players from Scotland squads was a standing joke in Scottish football.
Should be a , not e.
wee Broon was too busy serenading his latest conquest down the phone with a wee ‘folk tune’ at the time his heroes were withdrawing from Scotland squads…he couldn’t criticise the undignified ones.
BT – a decent run on a new course, Tollcross Park. very undulating but managed 10th place in around 21’15”. Thanks for asking;-)
