Really pleased Leigh Griffiths is back in the Scotland squad, it’s just reward for his work this season, although the prospect of having so many Celtic players on international duty in June is an unwelcome one, considering we’ve Champions League qualifiers to prepare for in July. Preseason is already looking fraught.
I’d convinced myself I wasn’t too bother if newco are promoted this season or not, all the big battles have been won and lost. I realised differently when I received a text yesterday saying Queens were a goal up. Your instinct can tell you things your head can’t.
Another season of lower league football will drain them of an additional £10m, which I don’t think they have, but I don’t think they have enough money to complete a season in the top flight either. It doesn’t matter if the boat sinks in 50m of water or 50km, there would be a deficit in either league. Viability remains the subject of undocumented fantasy, cannon fodder-dom awaits in the top flight, ignominious avoidance in the lower leagues.
If Mike Ashley cuts them some slack, they will eventually be a top 12 club. When they are, Celtic will earn an extra £4m from ticket sales and indirect incremental income, enough to make a difference on the field. Similar income will go to Ibrox, but this isn’t enough to fund a turnaround. My preference would be to have both Hibs and Hearts back next season but I’m chilled either way.
Very last call for the Ben Nevis Huddle, which takes place on Saturday 13 June in aid of the Celtic Foundation. If you’re up for it, sign up here…..

Universal Credit.
Lawyer pal does some voluntary work for a London Housing Association.. He expects to be very busy re rent arrears.
Well, I see the SFA Referee appointments committee have had a change of heart.
It was announced that the 2 May fixture between Hearts and Rangers would be our good friend Calum Murray’s final game before his well earned retirement. However things didn’t go exactly to plan that day so guess what? Calum is getting a final gig refereeing the Championship play off at Ibrox on Wednesday.
Is it only me who smells this stitch up or does Calum really need a final night to round of his ludge after dinner scripts and the SFA a really trusted placeman in charge before someone such as Colum or McLean get the Easter Road leg (up)?
Paranoid? We were not by paranoid enough.

15th June, took my voluntary redundancy fae RIS last July, a bit of a risk (pardon the pun) but a job is a job, must have been born to be a public servant
I wouldn’t write off Motherwell just yet, been on a reasonable run of form, plus they should have Skippy back
Now imagine that, and then Hibs win next years Championship and there’s another Play Off with Queens, Falkirk, St Mirren etc ….
Old Tim,
I posted this last night, but read about your brother this evening.
My condolences on your loss.

Good evening from Diocletian’s Palace in Split. Four leaf clover on my chest.
Having a lovely Karlovacko pivo.
Home for the game on Sunday and just been told by Mrs HJ that she and the family have bought me a paving stone under the name Hrvatski Jim on The Celtic Way for a forthcoming birthday. Looking forward to seeing it.
Old Tim – very sorry to hear of your brother’s death. We are going to Medjugorje on Wednesday and will say a prayer for him and you and your family.

Cesena 1 up.18 minutes gone.
Oldtim, thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Good radio documentary – about a one-armed Irish footballer called Jimmy Hasty from Belfast – a Dundalk Legend who was murdered by the UDA.
Its a compelling story, inspirational and sad in turn.
Scored against Celtic in a friendly and played in a Euro tie against Zurich.

South of Tunis
Napoli 1-1….. Hope you are correct about them not beating teams they should
