European football news this week featured Vincent Kompany “failing up”. After overseeing Burnley’s relegation from the topflight of English football, the affable Belgian was appointed manager of Bayern Munich. Charm gets you places, people!
Hot on the heels of that, the Newco chief executive James Bisgrove handed in his resignation, he’s off to work his magic in Saudi. If Bisgrove ever gives a seminar on job interview technique, sign up. This is the guy who, as commercial director, booked Newco at the Sydney tournament in 2022 for less than half the fee Celtic’s commercial director, Adrian Filby, negotiated.
Newco are both delighted at Bisgrove’s work in his various roles at the club, and totally OK that he’s moving on. Suggestions that churning through three managers and three chief execs in 18 months is a sign of a club in perpetual crisis is unworthy of you.

dobber is a great word
It is used in Oz as a derogatory term for one who tells tales and gets workmates or such into trouble,
A “dobber shops the works”

FAO BRRB ( and others IF interested ?)…
The last few weeks I have noticed a HORSE TRAINER called ” M. HERRINGTON” on the FLAT having a few good priced Winners.
He doesnt have many Horses but his winning ” Strike Rate” this season is just over 60 per cent.
He had ONE Horse running yesterday ( Sunday) and it WON at odds of 9/1……I backed it at early odds of 14/1.
He has ONE Horse running Today at WETHERBY in the 8.pm Race.
Its called ” ARAIFJAN” and its currently around 14/1….Ive backed the Horse to Win and also in an Each Way Bet.
Please don’t shoot the messenger.
Best of luck BRRB IF you have a wee Bet.
HH Mate.

5 old Bhoys meet up.
Fullname: Peter Somers
aka: Celtic’s Powder Monkey
Born: 3 June 1878
Died: 27 Nov 1914
Birthplace: Strathaven, Lanarkshire
Signed: 29 Nov 1897 & 26 Aug 1902
Left: 9 Feb 1900 (loan to Blackburn); 16 Jul 1900 (again to Blackburn); Dec 1909 (resigned); 15 Jan 1910 (Hamilton)
Position: Inside-left
Debut: Celtic 4-0 Third Lanark, League, 4 Dec 1897 (scored once)
Internationals: Scotland
International Caps: 4
International Goals: 0
One such loan deal saw Blackburn Rovers pay Celtic £200 for Peter Somers’ registration. He would spend a successful season and a half at Ewood Park before returning to the Hoops in August 1902.
Back in Glasgow, Peter Somers, alongside the great Jimmy McMenemy and the legendary Jimmy Quinn, would form an attacking triumvirate which would terrorise a generation of Scottish defences. This trio would be the cornerstone of perhaps the greatest ever side in Celtic history.
At a time when brute strength was regarded as a key attribute for a footballer, Peter Somers shone out among his peers for his nimble footwork and wonderful football brain. He was, in the words of Willie Maley, a “subtle strategist”.
Peter Somers’ wonderful awareness and reading of the game was complimented by his pinpoint passing ability. He would evade the crude challenges of despairing opponents with a deft flick of the ball or a subtle change of direction. He could find space and time during even the most frantic of games to calmly orchestrate attack after attack. Selfless, inventive and entertaining, Peter Somers was a huge favourite of a support who recognised his priceless contribution to the Celtic cause.
