There’s something not right about a free weekend in early March; we should still have been in the Cup. Congratulations are therefore due to the five managers who remain in the competition, who have each shown remarkable abilities and are truly invaluable resources to their respective clubs – worth contract extensions all round.
Congratulations are also due to the 40,000 Aberdeen fans who will pack Celtic Park next weekend for the League Cup Final. Opponents, Inverness, have shifted only 7,000 of their 20,000 allocation, although I hear there is a brisk trade in tickets this morning, many of which will end up in the hands of Aberdeen supporters.
40,000 Aberdeen fans at a game may be unprecedented, despite the 147,365 attendance at their 1937 Scottish Cup Final against Celtic. No one was to know demand would be so buoyant from Aberdeen, but now the SPFL do know, they need to ensure the spare circa 13,000 tickets are sold to Aberdeen fans in a controlled manner.
Many thanks to everyone who donated to Mary’s Meals since the MyDonate link went up on Friday. We are more than halfway there to funding the second school kitchen, at St Joseph’s Primary School in Kasungu, Malawi. Stunned at the response. You can get involved here.
Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches this month.
“It might not happen anytime soon but sometime down the line I’d like to think we could get there again. Maybe even go that extra mile and win the Cup. Henrik Larsson was our hero in this outstanding run and we’d probably need to look at finding another Henrik to get us there again! Remember that Celtic recently finished ahead of Benfica in Champions League Group stages and they dropped into the Europa Cup, reached the final and were very unlucky not to win it.”

Fast Train from London slowing as it crosses the Clyde and pulls into Central Station.
Whoops
Doc.
went on to Tesco web site to see what they said about your fever tree tonic water, ended up spending £44 on Gin Tonic & beer, thanks pal.
Oldtim67,
I’ll be near Blackpool at that time, heading home from work then travelling up to CP for the festivities, I’ll be the one dressed in my best Leprechaun suit :>)
See you in there hic!

pfayr,
He does stroll through games and his class sticks out a mile.
However, he is prone at times to get drawn out of position and of losing the flight on a cross ball.
I also think, that at 22, he has a bit more physical strength to add.not many Kompanys around.
Centre half is an unforgiving position at the highest level and, perhaps another season with us would be the difference between one of the giants and an average EPL team.
I’m not convinced that, e.g. ManU, in their present state, would be a good choice for him.

That joke is nearly older than you
OldTim, I said it was good and you might like it, not to rush out and buy all that booze!
You didn’t even buy the tonic I was advising you toward, Tesco don’t sell it!
It they have it in Blane Valley I’ll buy you one.
You can buy a gin to put in it if you like:-)
See you in the pub.
