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.

WITS.
I am able to second Whitedoghunch, Monachyle Mhor, it’s a fab place, food great and amazing scenery. For the quality of the food its very reasonably priced. The last 4 miles past Loch Voil has some fab views, you actually pass a Buddhist retreat on the right hand side to get to the hotel.
Whitedoghunch.
My wife has just told me the Vegan festival at the weekend has been postponed/cancelled.

Eddie Jone ( manager of England`s Rugby team) posed for photographs with some people. This is how they responded:

Mancunians must have a dreadful opinion of Scottish people.

Didn’t think these Rugger types were given to that sort of thing . Disappointing hun-like behaviour.

Seems like you done a more thourgh job than I could have so well done you.
I didn’t ask for a reply as I kind of figured that’s what would come back.
So once more GENE well done mate and all you other bhoys out there get on line and let them know you don’t want your money used to pay tax cheats.
KEEP THE FAITH
WITS.
This might sound crazy but if any of you like scones, make sure you order them. I stay 90 mins drive, from the hotel and some days drive out, just to order scones, well maybe for the scenery too. :-)
They aren’t usually listed on the menu (which is changed daily) but they will make them for you there and then, if you ask. They are fab, freshly made, piping hot, served with sides of butter, jam and cream.
Another wee secret, I proposed to my now wife in the grounds of the hotel too.

I played rugby mhate.
This allowed me to experience some of the best craic ever and allowed me to travel the world. It also exposed me to some middle class Neanderthals who were proudly Hunnish in every sense.

I actually like the winter Olympics but I did laugh when one guy described them as “multiple ways to slide down a hill”

Not sure that they were rugby fans.
I used to think that Scotland supporters of any sport had a humour about them that was different from the kind of angry support England supporters gave to their various `heroes`. Now, I see the same anger in Scotland supporters. Hun like gloating rather than genuine happiness.

and they have a quite outstanding wine list which not only holds my favourite wine
but also quotes two greats who shaped a little of my life, Hemmingway and Charlie Trotter.
Order a glass of Musar if you fancy a red.

‘Of course the vast majority of the UK’s Gas supply comes from Scotland’

Apparently not.
Though it’s interesting that you think that it does.

I recently started to be plagued by tracking cookies – when I finally managed to disable them, the source became apparent and it was HITC which appears on the CELTIC NEWS NOW site. So not only does it try to stir up SH1 it also lets dangerous cookies in – AVOID IT!

Having rather stumbled across that venue while out on a drive, and having sampled their scones….I can assure you both are as special as the lhads are telling you!

I expect the Scottish Government must be appalled at these neanderthals.
I fully expect some form of OBaR Act to be launched without much thought or planning in the next 48 hours.
Or maybe not, given the snobbish curtain-twitching attitudes that our government has to all things working class and football.
Scones and Red wine
Sounds good

Stadium Manager Robin says pitch looking fine for Saturday so just about the snow …

I think it also depends on the state of the roads/pavements around the stadium ,as to whether the council gives the go ahead.
*don’t be surprised if the ones in the vicinity of the”big hoose” are in good nick but we are up tae our knees in snaw.
although I can’t spell Hemingway, perhaps remembering the estate closing down a Glasgow eatery who opened under said name

It really does highlight the stupidity ( and bias ) of the OBaF Act that their behavior is not covered by the Act because it involved the `wrong` sport.
Cheerio for now,

Right bhoys and ghirls, time to look out your CV and apply for the vacant CEO role at SFA.
.Just got this from my Linked-in account.
————————
Job description
The CEO of the Scottish FA is a position of national importance which will present the right candidate with the opportunity to make a real difference to the fortunes of a nation and significantly, to the future of many of the young people in it.
This is an all-encompassing role and as the leader of the Scottish FA internally and externally, nationally and internationally, you will be expected to lead and manage an efficient and focused organisation. Looking after the interests of member clubs and affiliated national associations, you will also manage key relationships with government, international governing bodies, key sponsors and of course supporters and the wider football community.
A versatile and persuasive leader you will have a proven track record of achievement in a high profile, complex and multi-stakeholder organisation. You will be required to demonstrate strong evidence of brokering collaborative working relationships with a range of stakeholders coupled with excellent leadership and management skills. As the public face of the game in Scotland you will possess exceptional communication and presentation skills and will have had direct involvement in managing media relationships. A high level of personal drive and determination and the ability to prioritise and manage conflicting demands will also be crucial.
Scotland has the highest per capita attendance at football matches throughout Europe. The Scottish FA therefore requires an accomplished CEO who will deliver to the highest standards against this level of interest and expectation.
Whilst an executive background in sports management or administration would be advantageous, the ability to deliver the commercial and strategic challenges is paramount.
For further detail on the Scottish FA and the specifics of the role please visit the dedicated microsite at http://www.ljg-jobs.com/ScottishFA
Interested candidates should send a short covering letter, detailing current circumstances and a tailored CV to Douglas Adam at Livingston James, our retained advisors.
All third-party applications will be forwarded to Livingston James.
The role offers a competitive package.
Oh and if you could tell us what school you went to!
On the gas subject…
The UK became a gas “net importer” sometime around the year 2000 I believe.
Interestingly, last summer, when French Oil company Total brought their Edradour and Glenlivet wells into the Laggan-Tormore wells which feeds their new Shetland Gas plant, they became the UK’s biggest gas producer – supplying 10% of Britain’s gas.
I know this because it kept me in a job for 2.5 years!

Thanks for your concern,mate. All ok so far,driven over 500 miles since 8pm last night,including this afternoon.
Getting a bit hairy down here now,severe gales and heavy snow until midnight tomorrow. I won’t be taking any chances,plenty of time to get the job done. And I’ve told the other drivers,no heroics and I’ll take the blame for any non-deliveries. I know their routes,and there are some places I wouldn’t deliver to in this weather!
I’ve even cancelled my sesh in the pub tomorrow morning,that’s how bad it is!!!
I’ll be fine,mate,thanks again. It’s you guys up in The Central Belt I feel sorry for,that looks horrendous.

Close to Connswater, the Ravenhill Rd is a bit more “neutral”. Renting 2/3 bed property in that area £600 pcm approx. Transport links all around that area are great as major thoroughfares into town. Might be difficult to get a really good rental unless taking out a year long lease.

My ‘rugger types’ comment was a bit tongue in cheek. Any Celtic man who also plays/played Rugby is
definitely not a ‘rugger type’-))

Glad to hear you are OK!

It must be bad!
Take care Buddy!

Disgraceful.
