Pleased to see the Club recognised for CelticLive, the stadium WiFi and content imitative by the European Club Association. Anything which builds our profile at the ECA is welcome.
Today’s Telegraph assures us Newco Rangers chief executive, Graham Wallace, is set to leave the club with his plans to raise £4m at a pending share issue still in the balance. The newspaper further asserts the club is a “toxic brand” and is trying to secure an emergency loan from Newcastle United owner, Mike Ashley.
The club, which informed the Court of Session on Friday that it had only £1.2m cash left, and last night informed the Telegraph it was losing £1m per month, requires vastly more money than the £4m they are struggling to raise in order to finish the season.
Some credit is due to the Daily Record for their splash with photo and leader, “Rangers director Sandy Easdale and a criminal wanted by Interpol tried to negotiate an Ibrox bailout yesterday”. They are reporting two years after Paul McConville’s blog initially broke the news of said Interpol-interested character, Rafat Rizvi.
Rizvi, who can take refuge in the UK as we don’t have an extradition treaty with Indonesia, is allegedly wanted for corruption, money laundering and banking crime, denies the charges, which he has already been convicted of. He should fit in quite well.
As we said at the weekend, irrespective of short-term events, the long-term fundamentals remain unchanged. The only thing to be decided is which of the characters hovering around the carcase will get to pick on the bones.
All credit to Sir David Murray.

Mind that time when everyone on CQN got along and agreed on all politics, team selections, board decisions, Green Brigade displays, UEFA rulings, toasted cheese, poppies, Bobo Balde, and there were fountains of chocolate outside Celtic Park where the children used to dance prior to the team buses arriving on a match day?
Sail on down the line
About half a mile or so
Don’t really want to know where you’re going
Maybe once or twice
Time after time I tried
To hold on to what we got
But now you’re going
And I don’t mind about the things you’re gonna sail on
I give all my money and my time
I know it’s a shame
But I’m giving you back your name
Yes, I’ll be on my way
I won’t be back to stay
I guess I’ll move along
I’m looking for a good time
Sail on down the line
Funny how the time can go
Friends says they told me so but it doesn’t matter
It was plain to see
That a small town boy like me
Just wasn’t your cup of tea
I was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know it ain’t so hard to say
Would you please just go away
I’ve thrown away the blues
I’m tired of being used
I want everyone to know
I’m looking for a good time
Good time
Sail on Sandy
Good times never felt so good

“I became increasingly frustrated at the main parties chasing the same small number of seats in the south east of England and in doing so the policies have become indistinguishable from each other,you could hardly get a fag paper between them now.So I came to the decision that I would vote SNP in the hope that we could one day get an independence vote,looks like its worked out for me so far.
I’ll be happy as Larry if we get a yes vote and then I hope we can get a left of centre government in Scotland someday soon.”
That left of centre vote will look like a Harold Wilson/Jim Callaghan govt., at best. Anybody hoping to win a majority in Scotland will have to chase votes in Perthshire and Buchan just as the SNP did. We are more likely to experience 50 years of coalition government with all the horse trading and pork-barrel politics that flow from that. Any left of centre decisions will have to be paid for and there will be a strong right of centre movement (practically indistinguishable, eh?) echoing Ireland and Iceland in pursuing Tartan Tiger policies.
I flew into Lithuania in 2005 on the same day that we lost the league to Skippy’s goals at Motherwell. I was very impressed with the Lithuanian people but they were struggling to cope with the costs of their second decade of freedom as they had expanded jobs and were now having to find money to pay for all their populist policies. A lot were being laid off. There was a strong tendency to blame this on the benign influence of a Russian minority in the country and certainly, externally, Russia did and still does have them over a barrel (or a pipeline).
Scotland’s left-of-centreness will be tested harshly and brutally by external economics. We have a greater tendency to scapegoat than even the Lithuanians do. Who will replace English basturts as our source of anger and disappointment?

I generally believe that anyone that plays well, should keep that jersey for the next game and that is the incentive for them all.
Anyone who lets their standard drop runs the risk of being replaced by 1 of the guys desperate to get in and then it is up to him to keep it.
The only thing about that is when about half the team are poor as they were against Dundee!
I just thought perhaps Callum had played a lot of games in a short space of time and some of those games had the added pressure of champs league qualification.
Quite often young guys are inconsistent and need to be managed a bit more sensitively.
Was thinking Callum has had a lot to cope with so far…..although i am sure he will have loved it all!
I just wondered if he would benefit from a wee break.
Here’s hoping he bangs another goal in on Saturday to shut me up!

“Will any of you no voters be attending this march on Saturday as you may have something in common , go on show your support.”
Will you be in the England end when Scotland play England? A lot of their fans were chanting Pro-Yes vote sympathies at their match against Norway?
Or does that sound just a bit silly and immature to your ears?

It’s fine. It’s all fine. Everything is fine.
I’ve now decided to come down on the Yes side for independence and hopefully it will end all the pish that is talked about Celtic and the Huns joining the EPL once and for all
Rioskorrie,I know fine he wasn’t talking about Sevco.
Just a bit of fun.
Try walking on the sunny side of the street.

“Strikes me that when I hear a NO voter interviewed and asked why they have made that choice, they quote some facts and/or figures with which they can substantiate their preference.
Contrast that with most of the YES voters, whose rationale ranges from “Coz it will piss aff awe thae Hunz/Ingerlish/Tories etc., so it must be the right choice!”
Laughable in equal measure.”

I have a couple it boys 20 and 21 years old and from the very beginning they were voting yes

took the dressing off today, looks a wee bit messy, no Lionel.
Better daily mate.
“Ray –
That post makes no sense at all.”
Okay I will try and simplify my point.
Any new country setting out on its own will need capable and experienced leadership to set out the basics of how it will be run both economically and socially.
Where are the politicians that are going to deliver this?
Presumably the liberated Scots will demand that these politicians are of the homegrown variety, so who are these people? This is not a task that can be handled by novices, so the personalities must already be known to the electorate.
If they are figures that are already in positions of power, how can people be sure that they can deliver what is required?
There is a great deal of division and uncertainty already, and it will take a really strong and charismatic figure to hold it all together. Who might that be?

I’ve been alone with you
Inside my mind
And in my dreams I’ve punched your lightw out
A thousand times
I sometimes see you
Pass by the Ibrox door
HUllo!
Is it me you’re looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
but my wallets not open wide
’cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
Fu** you
I long to see the return of Super Allys hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hullo!
I’ve just got to let you know
’cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere counting money?
and is someone paying you?
Tell me how to pay the bank
For we haven’t got a clue
But let me start by saying Fu** you
Hullo!
Is it me you’re looking for?
’cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what now to do

But let me start by saying Fu** you

Thunder Road
I know where you’re coming from but I think he should start on Saturday – as you say most of the team were poor in Dundee and he can’t be expected to carry them.
Its a home game, he didn’t feature for Scotland so will be raring to go I’d say.

Moonbeams,
why not give an adult your login details?
That way you might not look like such a jellyheid.
Absolutely loving all the No voters desperately trying to make a case for the Union and failing miserably. So what do they do? Resort to the tried and failed method of coping scare stories from the MSM(for Celtic fans this is so so funny) and try to scare fellow fans into voting No. This is brilliant guys, there’s an oft used phrase that unfortunately seems appropriate, you must be really hurting.

Malone Bhoy,
I am well aware of that. I was just asking for a few names of the next crop of political leaders that can take this process on. I am not suggesting they are not there, for there are a great many heavyweight figures still in situ across the constituencies of Scotland.
I just get the impression that, due to the fact that many of them have been working out of Westminster for so long that their credentials and trustworthiness are in doubt with many of the scottish electorate.
If those figures (Brown, Darling, Salmond, Alexander,etc.) with known experience are not deemed worthy of leading the new set-up, who else will step forward?
Americans warn Scotland about ‘hope-change bullshit’
The Daily Mail By Matt Brown 10-09-14
ORDINARY Americans have warned Scotland the momentous change it is being sold is total bullshit.
With Scotland’s vote for hope and change too close to call, Americans who can remember 2008 laughed, but in a really sad and painful way.
Bill McKay, from Greensburg, Pennsylvania, said: “I voted for Obama, even though I was pretty sure he was Kenyan.
“But all the other presidents we’ve had were American and the vast majority were shit. So I thought ‘let’s see how it goes with a Kenyan fella’.
“He was smart, confident and gave good speeches about hope. But then it turned out that speeches aren’t actually the same as life.”
McKay added: “That said, I have just bought myself a new car. It’s a 1992 Buick Fandango and it’s awful.”
Bethany Gordon, from Greensburg, Maryland, said: “Looking back, I’m kind of embarrassed. It’s like I was part of a cult.
“So now, whenever I meet someone who thinks politics is the answer, I remind them to shut their idiot face or I’ll set my dog on them.”
Queen ‘would be interested in Scotland if it was a horse’
The Daily Mail Jeanne Quintoff 10-09-14
THE Queen is not particularly interested in Scotland because she is unable to ride it.
Amid calls for the Queen to stop Scottish independence with her bare hands, Buckingham Palace said that if it was not about horses ‘you may as well be speaking Klingon’.
A spokesman said: “We could ask her, sure, but she would just shrug and then go back to rubbing some leather.
“You need to create the illusion that ‘Scotland’ is a beautiful stallion and Her Majesty must intervene before it is sold to her Arabian nemesis.”
David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband immediately volunteered to be a horse, or play the part of a simple but intuitive stable boy who reckons ‘Scotland’ is the ‘best he’s ever seen’.
The Palace spokesman added: “Like most people of her age, she really doesn’t care about other humans anymore.”
Come on Ray-Sing
Let’s hear a few of these Facts?
I’m interested.
