Celtic play their fifth and final preseason friendly tomorrow before Tuesday’s Champions League qualifier in Armenia. Five games feels light. Legs will still be tired after each game, the prospect of 90 minutes in extreme heat will not be welcome.
Opponents Alashkert will have played only three preseason games before facing Celtic, each against lower league Russian opponents, so while they will cope better with the heat, their underlying fitness will not be better than Celtic’s.
In theory, Tuesday’s game should be welcomed as an opportunity to increase preparedness before the tougher challenges that lie ahead. But this is football in July, when normal rules do not apply, as Lincoln Red Imps demonstrated two years ago.
Loved the lack of logic in Dave King’s written response to BBC’s Alasdair Lamont’s question on the Takeover Panel’s Contempt of Court proceedings. “The [Takeover Panel] know that I live in [South Africa] and that it will require exchange control approval to move the funds to London. They are just bullying me”.
The Takeover Panel’s rules (which exist for everyone) that an offer has to have proven funds in the UK is not an actual impediment. If King’s funds were not in the UK, he would be unable to pay for the shares three weeks after the offer is made.
Takeover Panel rules merely bring the date cash is required forward by three weeks. Still, I am sure this talk of bullying will make the Takeover Panel think twice before crossing King again.
This guy is beyond brilliant. He is behaving like this openly. You know how it ends.

The latest FFin’ operation:
“Operation D.O.T.T
For too long we have allowed certain individuals with self serving agendas to exploit matters. Our Club is finally fighting back……It starts with MaClennan the SPFL head man who is on the payroll of Uncle Des and O’Brien. The Club do not accept this and it is for us to help get that message accross.
Do On To Them
We take Sandy Jardines example of standing up against corruption and get as many numbers as possible to March to SPFL offices at…… Hampden.
The SPFL sponsors.. close any Ladbrokes accounts and in mass numbers, copy them in on Twitter and Facebook. The message……’They fund a corrupt organisation, and you won’t give them your custom until the conflict of interest issues are resolved with MaClennan’s resignation’
Together we won’t be ignored.”
D.O.T.T.
==========================================================================
Mag-nificent.
Take a bow, Baldrick.

It seems to be a done deal.
No Problemo with it. Sink or swim.
I didnae see EK’s performance @ the weekend but I’d guess it would be good.
Coming from another Scottish team there will be less friction if he isnae played, despite a large fee paid.
Competition for places with Dudes Desperate to play for Celtic.
The French Bhoys are not gonnae be there forever.
As the Hun market to the lowest denominator. Celtic put out a Blue to the highest profile Celtic Supporters.
I like that thinking.
Let it be known
Looking Forward to a very Exciting Celtic Season.

Callum is so very under rated – his movement is Quality. Odsonne looks incredibly Mobile for one so BIG.
Then there is Samuel L Jackson © Sandman and Broonie Keeping the back door Locked.

Crazy that Brexit is going the way of the Politicians that are bought and paid for.
The Tower of Babel is a warning.
England voted for Brexit.
Brussels.
It Even has the Unfinished Tower as its Parliament.
I said to Aidan I’d put a tenner bet on whatever team he thought would Win…. The World Cup.
He Selected Belgium.

Good morning CQN from a humid Garngad
I hope we get McGinn in soon and another couple in as well.
You can never have enough good players IMO.
I see the Orange Order are saying that the idiot that attacked the priest was not one of them, a play with words IMO.
If he is following the rabble then he is part of the rabble, is this not why the police ensure that the OO has stewards as well as a police presence?
Either way they are scum.

If he wasn’t with the oo why was he carrying a baton on the streets of Glasgow
Good morning from tropical Govanhill.
