While the postponement of today’s Premiership game against Dundee was inevitable, Brendan Rodgers and the players will be far from happy not participating in a game they prepared for. For the manager, in particular, this of one of the two games he could deploy Marvin Compper before heading to Ibrox a week on Sunday.
Compper signed his Celtic contact in December but it will be March before he wears the hoops for the first time. His experience would be invaluable at Ibrox next week, but on the back of only one game, and that against lower league opposition?
I don’t know the player but without further evidence, I’d stick with Ajer and Simonovic.

Good Morning Folks.
On a completely non football point, it is interesting to note that the National Grid has today issued an official Gas Deficit Warning which means that the UK does not actually hold enough gas to meet the anticipated demand for the next 24 hours.
Yet, there is not one single word of this on the BBC Scotland News when there is a severe weather warning covering the geographical area they broadcast to.
We are governed by, and broadcast to, by rank amateurs and people with absolutely no managerial common sense.
Of course the vast majority of the UK’s Gas supply comes from Scotland and one would presume that no Government would be idiotic enough to leave itself in a position whereby it can’t immediately access an emergency gas supply from a neighbouring country at a reasonable price which has been agreed in advance?
That is just good risk management.
Then again this lot are giving us Brexit.
We would be better off with the Marx Brothers!!
If Sevco were to win all the rest of their games we would have to win seven (and possibly draw one, depending on goal difference) of our eight games.
However, I don’t see that happening. I think we will take at least four points in the two games v Sevco and probably win the league by 15-20 points (if we play as we can!). Still fancy Aberdeen for second, assuming they can avoid another capitulation against Sevco!

Hot smoke . I can assure you , I posted a similar post after the st Johnstone game , and before the return zenit game . I am one of those posters who , posts my thoughts on our club . I don’t take any leads from other posters , I post what my feelings are on our club . Maybe that’s why my posts are normally scrolled past . No problem . But I posted the same after the st Johnstone match ,as I felt at the time we threw away 2points , picking a poor team , against a side who try there hardest to beat us .
Hot smoke . Can’t see anywhere on my post to suggest I think the Huns will beat us . I am only saying I feel we are now not as comfortable as we should be . Surprised you don’t agree . And btw . If had a crystal ball that told me Sevco would beat us 6 – 0. I still wouldn,t back against the celts .

I would question that from the insurance company.
If the cost of the repair is more than the excess of your policy, then you should only be required to pay up to the value of the excess as the car should be insured for any accidental damage irrespective of who is to blaim or whether there is anyone to blaim, or indeed, claim.
Also check if you have in any way protected your excess and no claim bonus.
Art of War,
Do you live in Edinburgh?
Hi Bhoys
Another day off work today due to the weather so reading the BBC website stumbled across their complaints procedure so thought I would fire one off to them,
As a brittish tax payer since I left school in 1976 and a tv licence payer since 1981, I would like to record my strongest objections to the use across all your media of people who have benefited from the use of any tax avoidance shemes.
I find it reprehensible that people mainly on large salaries who could well afford to pay their due taxes did not do so. The fact that I do and that I also pay my TV licence I feel gives me the right to complain that you employ these people and pay them from the licence fee monies collected.
I believe that anyone found to have used ILLEGAL TAX AVOIDANCE SCHEMES either presently or in the past should not in any way benift financially from BBC licence monies paid by the public.
Finally if they were found not to have paid their TV licence would you still see nothing wrong in their morals and still employ them?
It gave me something to do why don’t all bored readers on here do it today?
KEEP THE FAITH
Thomthetim- maw mate, Glasgow.
Why do you ask?
Connaire12
Surely if someone had stolen your car, they wouldn’t have anyone to claim from and they would still
have to pay you out?
So I can’t see how they won’t pay out in this case.

I am turning the heating up , before the gas runs out

” I posted a similar post after the st Johnstone game , and before the return zenit game . ”
Fair enough ( but even better if you had posted BEFORE the St J game ! );
“Hot smoke . Can’t see anywhere on my post to suggest I think the Huns will beat us .”
….and I cannot see anywhere on mine where I said you did suggest such a thing.
JJ
Ps ….and I KNOW we both want what is best for Celtic.

Reference CAS-4799738-G57N05
Thank you for contacting us.
I understand you are unhappy that some of our football pundits are employed by the BBC due to their personal financing.
As you haven’t provided any specific examples from our output which you believe illustrate your complaint, we can only respond in general terms.
We can assure you that our on-air team for our football coverage is chosen based on their broadcasting experience as well as their expertise in the sport.
Our football coverage is watched by a very diverse audience, each with differing views and opinions and for that reason, we aim to reflect those across our programmes.
The aim of our commentary and studio team is to give our audience useful information, balance and context to the matches we’ve covered.
We acknowledge that you feel certain pundits shouldn’t appear on the BBC in light of their tax issues, but the non-BBC activities of our presenters should not undermine the public’s perception of the impartiality, integrity and objectivity of the BBC.
Nonetheless, I understand you feel strongly about this and please be assured I have placed your complaint on our daily audience feedback report, to be viewed by senior BBC management, and our BBC Sports teams.
These reports can be used to inform future broadcasting decisions so please be assured that your complaint has been sent to the right people, and thank you once again for taking the time to get in touch.
Kind regards
Hollie Bann

” The snow lay on the ground
Six feet deep;
They had to dig a hole
Tae find wee Pete.
They had to dig a hole,
Tae find wee Pete.”
A ditty we sang when present conditions prevailed at St Mungo`s in Barony Street in the early 60`s.
I think ` Wee pete` must have been a Teacher/ Brother prior to my time there. I certainly don`t recall the nickname.

My brother went to St Mungo’s from 61 to 67 – think Duke St

Wee Hollie was doing well until she got to the bit “….. but the non-BBC activities of our presenters should not undermine the public’s perception of the impartiality, integrity and objectivity of the BBC.”
Oxymorons all over the place there, or perhaps just morons?
There you see see three words you would not normally associate with BBC Scotland, and the really sad bit is that she might actually believe it!

We awe want the best for the team JT..
It’s easy look back in life and see what we should have done:))

New article has been held up by the weather me thinks.
Emeraldbee- a tax funded organisation, paying taxpayers money, to guys who owe tax? Imagine if Lineker or Shearer owed tax?
Hot smoked . Starry plough .
Thanks for the replies . Guys
Emeraldbee
I initially requested a FOI re the amount of money the bbc was paying these tax dodgers – however apparently because it comes under journalism ( i know ) it’s exempt from the act. So I raised the complaint
Gene
So because its non BBC activity that caused the tax aviodance they are not interested, ludicrous position.I see they asked for names wire in Thompson Dodds Ferguson just to start
