A line has hopefully been drawn under the stress Neil Lennon has lived under during the last two years with the conviction of two men found guilty of sending bombs in the post. In a statement, Neil said: This has been a very stressful and difficult time for myself and my family and clearly I am glad that it is over”, before adding, “I will forever be thankful to the Police for the way in which they have handled this matter.”
Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell, added: “No one could imagine the pressure [Neil Lennon] has been under during the past two years. He has coped with this particular episode, last year’s assault and the, at times, seemingly unrelenting attacks from many quarters.
“In my opinion, no-one in Scottish footballing history has had to contend with this level of pressure whilst trying to do their job. Neil Lennon is someone who has shown tremendous character and resilience, and we will continue to support Neil in any way we can.”
This month has been made all the more difficult for Neil Lennon by the sudden death of Paul McBride, also a target of the bombing campaign. Neil Lennon said, “Finally, I would like to mention my good friend Paul McBride. His sad passing remains very raw to those close to him, we continue to miss him dearly and my thoughts remain very much with Paul’s family.”
The SFA have written to Neil Lennon three times since the start of the trial earlier this month to capitalise on perceived transgressions by the Celtic manager while yesterday a former referee used his newspaper column to undermine Neil’s position at Celtic.
These people really do need to get a grip.
Within minutes of the verdict being announced yesterday news of Stilian Petrov’s serious illness was made public. Stilian will received the very best medical attention and all our prayers.

Steve Brown’s comments in Scotsman, I think that means the end-game has started. Would love to know who in “the Establishment” makes the play calls re directing the other SPL Chairmen/Laptop Loyal/Police/Politicians (as appropriate) when their piece is ready for execution??

Oh! And I also do believe they were working for Whyte for a while too.
Interesting eh!

Just accept it bares, Duff&Duffer have…
“We must accept, though, that we have in
Rangers a financially-stricken institution and
there is an amount of toxicity in there as a
result of what’s gone on. So all of the
options have to remain open and it may be
that some of the bidders decide that they
would rather start afresh.
Loovens.Why.?Midfield looks very weak.
All I can say is Neil picked Glen and given a wee bit of support maybe Glen could surprise us all. Sammi did, Charlie did, even that biggest waste of money Broonie did.
Glen is a Celtic player.

C’mon The Bhoys ! Champions Elect ! To the gutter,Rankers ! Adios ya rats.
weak midfield?
ffs someone on here having a laugh!

Loovens played well when he was given his chance earlier in the season
For me Loovens is a better player than Dan or K Wilson, yet he gets it tight every time, even before a ball is kicked. All about opinions though.
Good to see Commons start, always a threat for me.
5-0
Anyone know if Paddy McCourt is fit/injured ?
Thought it’d be an ideal day for him to come off the bench and contribute.
butwhatdoiknowCSC
Can some please clean up the towels before the Celtic kick off!!
On bus heading to game is it a 12:45?
Oh Willie Maley was his name,
He brought some great names to the game,
When he was the boss at Celtic Park.
Taught them how to play football,
He made the greatest of them all,
Gallagher and Quinn have left their mark.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul
McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch,
Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
In ’38 there was a show,
And Glasgow was the place to go,
A model of the Tower was football’s prize.
England sent four of the best,
They didn’t meet with much success,
Because the trophy ended up in Paradise.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul
McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch,
Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
Well Coronation time was here,
Fifty three, that was the year,
Another four from England met their doom.
They said we’ll have to try again,
But like before it was in vain,
Because the Cup is in the Parkhead trophy
room.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul
McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch,
Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
Well fourteen years had gone and so,
To Portugal we had to go,
To play the team that Italy adored.
Celtic went out to attack,
They won the Big Cup and they brought it
back,
The first time it had been on British shores.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul
McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch,
Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
Now 21 years to that day,
With pride, it’s our Centenary,
And we’re among the honours once again.
Six million pounds the huns did spend,
But Souness found it was in vain,
Because the Celtic are the Champions again.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul
McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch,
Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
And now in 1995,
It feels good to be alive,
And we’re about to celebrate again.
The fans all cry out for Pierre,
He rises up into the air,
And brings the Scottish Cup to Paradise.
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul
McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch,
Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
Liquidation for Rangers is likely to happen sooner rather than later there plan is to prepare and launch a Newco Rangers for the begining of next season and they are confident they will be accepted into the SPL.Many of the current players have it written in there contracts that they can walk away in the summer leaving them to sign for Newco. Now like most on CQN I dont think they should be allowed into the SPL but made to start at the bottom like us if they get away with there plan I for one will be finished with Scottish football.H.H.
Pretty much the team I would have expected.
Four defenders on the bench though and no Brozek. Is he injured?
St Johnstone strikers Cillian Sheridan and Fransisco Sandaza being big aligned to Wilsons unconvincing recent performances might be the reason Neils opted for Glenn.
As ever with hope in my heart
