I never met Jimmy McGrory, who died an elderly man when I was 15. I don’t if he was around Celtic Park much in the years immediately beforehand, but I never even saw him. We have many genuine greats but he is one of a handful of those who could put a claim on being our greatest ever.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jinky several times and have yet to meet Kenny Dalglish or Henrik but the Tier-1 Celtic great I’ve met most is Billy McNeill. Billy’s achievements as a player are legendary, his managerial achievements were none too shabby either, but the way he has represented himself, his family and our clu,b for over half a century, is incredible He must have shared thoughts and memories with well over 100,000 Celtic fans on a one-to-one basis.
Like many of the Lions, and unlike to many less decorated heroes, they never make you feel like you are imposing on them when you’re soaking up the rays of history which flow from them.
The renovations outside Celtic Park are nearing completion and the area will be opened by Billy at 13:00 this Saturday, before the Aberdeen game. While the façade of the stadium has changed greatly since Billy first stood out front as a fan, the school, car park and Kerrydale Street changed only by aging gradually, and the occasional resurfacing.
This renovation will change the way future Celtic fans view the ground in the decades ahead. As a club, we are privileged to have someone of the calibre of Billy McNeill there to celebrate our present and future.
Get along early to support him – and bring a camera.
We are holding a Four Lions CQN Night at the Greenock Celtic Supporters’ Club on Friday 6 June. Willie Wallace is back from Australia for the Lisbon final so we’ve nabbed him for a night, to join Bertie Auld, John Hughes and the one and only Tommy Gemmell. Tickets are genuinely scarce after a lot of local update, if you want to be there, this will be your first and last day to respond…..
The 70th Anniversary Supporters Association Dinner is THIS Friday at the Kerrydale Suite. Dinner, music (step away from the mic. Anthony) and entertainment among hundreds of friends. Tickets cost a mere £30. With the event being on Friday, and Fridays being synonimous with statements these days, I wonder if we’ll have another jelly and ice cream sweet. What a memorable CSA Rally that would be. See you there.
If you would like to attend either event, email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com
FYI, with the Big Cup final returning to Lisbon this month, CQN will be wallowing in unapologetic nostalgia for the next 31 days and beyond. We forget how lucky we are sometimes. Billy, Willie, John, Bertie and Big Tam, celebrate the way only Celtic fans can. Fill your boots.

A wee article about Aspartame and how it contributes to Heart Disease etc.
Sweet
I will start off by saying all ye guys that think I’m a nutter, well My Big Sister still drinks Diet Coke, She is just an amazing person but she thinks I’m a conspiracy nut for want of a better expression, Hey Oh.
I’m not trying to do anything other than getting people to really look into things. IMO Aspartame is the cause of so MANY diseases in society today.
I remember Gold Coast Tom not believing before about Aspartame and the dangers of it, hey a mad cyril giving that info out is always going to get challenged, and quite rightly so.
I’m no Doctor, anyone who thinks I am, is, blatantly Bonkers.

Nobody aboutie….

Travellerbhoy,
Pick out the least attractive firefightersforchrist audio and it is likely to turn into the most significant.
God is Almighty.
Paul67 has the olde Holy Spirit, I hope he retains it, he will be tested, just like everyone else.
There are many that will try to deceive.
I heard from a cowrie lass who worked in Dundee that my family was left apiece of cowie in a will
How do I go about claiming it seeing as most of them are dead
But I’m no

My mother took up with this guy called Cameron
He had been in jail with my father
He hit me
I tried to reason with him
My father was an animal
I felt good
He was in a knife fight
He won
My father fought him
10 year old
Glad he died
Is that wrong
My dad killed him in a knife fight
My father knew nothing about the pain we suffered
He wept
Too late
HailHail
Petec –
I never once said anything to you about aspartame. I have never discussed it on here with anyone. If you are referring to last weekend. You told a poster to quit aspartame and stop his medication. I said you were wrong to tell anyone to stop taking prescribed medication.
I did not mention aspartame.
My father killed my mother
He hit her that hard he put her in a coma
For 18 months
We had been in a home for about 2 years
She died one day while I was at school
We celebrated
She never belonged on this earth.
Where did she come from ? Why ?
She abused us since the moment she had us
Rose brought us up
She invited strangers into our home
She died in 1982 thank god
I don’t know where her grave is?
Meant to say
If there’s a god she will pay
