Seven goal scores are remarkably scarce in football but for the second time this month we look ahead to a Champions League opponent who has recently scored that number in a single game. Helsingborgs went to town on Swedish Allsvenskan side Kalmar yesterday. Kalmar are struggling in the league this season but were faring better in Europe until Young Boys of Berne overturned a Europa League deficit against them on Thursday.
Form appears to vary widely in the Swedish league, not idea circumstances for placing a bet.
Midweek friendly internationals will not help Neil Lennon’s preparations as Celtic face the third of five games on the road in the Highlands on Saturday before heading to Sweden, especially as the early season injury count rises inexplicably. I would caution against risking too much on a bet on the Ross County game for this reason. County’s remarkably year-long run without a league defeat might stretch another week.

@rangerstaxcase: Yes. It was Blair Morgan- his agent. Point: if RFC paid interest on delayed EBT payments= proof of contractual obligation.”

“@daviepam: @rangerstaxcase @WheresTheBaw Alex McLeish accountant wrote to HMRC asking about bank interest on a missed payment”

@rangerstaxcase: “McLeish’s agent also said: “terms of contract between Alex & club now breached by delayed EBT payment.”
An interesting series of tweets. Looks like RTC is not the only one with inside info on this.

Neil McCann- that side-letter RFC sent you on 13 July 2001? That is a 2nd contract.

@philhecht Key point: he had contractual documents & received payments that were not shared with SPL/SFA.

KevJungle –
So very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you today.
RIP Stephen

Impressive piece.
I happen to agree with much of what you said. Perhaps living away from the ‘goldfish’ bowl of the west of Scotland for many years has given me a fresh perspective on what it means to be a Celtic Fan.
I think you espouse the values of a decent man.
Kudos to you.

Good post I empathise with some of it.
There’s a world wide shortage of helium. it will be totally exhausted in the next 20 to 30 years according to. Nobel laureate Robert Richardson,
My worry is simply this, what will Ian Durrant do for a voice

An excellent post which will resonate with a lot of Celtic supporters, myself included, as I followed Scotland to 2 World Cups.
I too am of Irish descent both maternally and paternally and retain an emotional hold with the old country

Ex Collyer Bristow partner Withey to join Rangers trial as defendant
13 August 2012 | By Sam Chadderton
A case being brought by the administrators of Rangers Football Club against Collyer Bristow has been delayed after former partner and ex-club company secretary Gary Withey applied to join proceedings as a defendant.
Up to now Withey, who was instrumental in businessman Craig Whyte’s doomed takeover of the Scottish club, was not party to administrators Duff & Phelp’s claim of at least £25m damages against Collyer Bristow.
The firm is accused of “deliberate deception” in a case brought by Duff & Phelps partners Paul Clark and David Whitehouse in relation to the advice Withey provided on Whyte’s bid.
Taylor Wessing restructuring partners Nick Moser and Neil Smyth are instructed for the administrators, with Clyde & Co partner Richard Harrison and senior associate Nicole McKinnon representing Collyer Bristow.
To this point, the claim was effectively against Collyer Bristows’ insurers, but if Withey’s application to join proceedings as a defendant is successful, he could also be found liable.
Withey could not be contacted at his current firm Segens, where he is a consultant, but The Lawyer understands he wishes to have the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations of his conduct contained in the claim. His application will be heard on 10 September.
Withey has instructed Mayer Brown partner Will Glassey, who has instructed Wilberforce Chambers’ John Wardell QC.
The trial was set for October, but a case management conference will now take place on that date instead.
Both sides maintain that they have a strong case, with the administrators’ counsel, South Square’s Mark Phillips QC, insisting there was a “conspiracy” to cause injury to the club by opting for Whyte’s takeover rather than a share issue to raise the funds and pay off debt.
Phillips also said that it would be “extremely difficult” for Collyer Bristow to show that Withey’s statements were “anything but false”.
For Collyer Bristow 3VB’s Cyril Kinsky QC and Matthew Hardwick have now been joined by Wilberforce Chambers’ Ian Croxford QC. They have pledged to “vigorously defend” the claims and the firm has said it finds the claims “highly speculative”.
It is accepted from both sides that there is no evidence that anyone bar Withey from Collyer Bristow was involved in the alleged “conspiracy” – which makes his intervener application all the more interesting.
He previously told The Lawyer: “Those allegations are an outrage – they are groundless, they should not have been made, and at the appropriate time the true facts surrounding this matter will be brought to light.”
It is also understood that the eventual claim against Collyer Bristow could dwarf the £25m figure put forward.
Taylor Wessing, for the administrators, is expected to suggest that the damages flow from the failure to secure shareholders funding and as a result, include the club’s lost income and eventual liquidation.
In April, the firm had sought an expedited trial in a bid to secure the financial future of the club. That will not happen as Rangers has been reformed as a ‘newco’ and will start life in the Scottish Division Three.

Good post, must have taken a bit of courage to write and post that on here.
Most right minded Tims would have sympathy,[ maybe sympathy is not the right word, but you know what I mean], with you, some may not.
Your problem is takling to the others who would see us gone from this land, they care not for dialogue, they care not for anyone of Irish/Catholic decent, they think they are the peepil.
Me, I left in the main because of them peepil, I said on here a couple of years ago that some may see my leaving as an act of cowardice, some did, I was not prepared to put my family through the hatred that was directed at my family because of the football team their husband and father supported, sad that I felt I had to do that, but I have never regreted it for a single second.
Good luck in trying to talk to them.

If you are speaking to him tell him, Tam (in Germany) was asking for him. Also ask him if he remembers, I’m sure he will, our trip to the “Holy Mountain” of Andechs, famous for it’s monastic brewing tradition? He is some man!

If Richard Dawkins was a Celtic supporter they would still see him as the epitome of Irish Catholicism and detest him for it.

Was quite prepared for Celtic not to win any SPL match in August as long as we qualified for the Champions League. So after getting all 3 points against Aberdeen we are 2 points better off than I thought at this stage.
Hopefully we will see off the Swedes.
Got a little £60 bonus from the club today only for the young bhoys to claim it for their own. Had to remind them who paid their season tickets!
