Sometimes it seems there is a constant struggle underway for the heart and soul of Celtic. It is incredible that for 125 years a community has managed to retain the conviction to help the less fortunate which drove forward those who formed the club.
Scarcely a day goes by without me receiving a message from someone offering to help those in need. This week it was tables for the Wayside Club Gala Dinner (Saturday 27 April, check it out here), someone send in a box set of the Byrds, to raise money ‘for the homeless’, and a reader parted with a precious top signed by the Seville team, which I’ve to collect in Glasgow.
Much of this goes on below radar but when a call to arms is needed it goes out in impressive clarity; the Wee Oscar campaign slipped into an infrastructure established when Kano took ill a few years back (hope you are doing well, Kano and we hear from you soon). Believe me, some of the work, and many of the discrete donations, would blow you away.
None of this is random. At some point each and every person who has stepped forward did so, knowingly or not, because of the way the Celtic Movement infected them.
A number of Celtic fans, and one former treble winning captain, are helping the Celtic Charity this year with the objective of encouraging each Celtic fan to raise £125. It feels like the right thing to do and if you’ve not brought yourself up to speed with the project yet, do it this weekend (more information here).
There will be formal events throughout the year but if you want to do a sponsored run/walk/cycle/jig, this is your invitation. You are reading this stuff because of your link all the way back to that hall in the Calton; get involved and earn your place in that 125-year-old story.
The next major event is a mass huddle at the top of Ben Nevis, check it out here.
Enjoy your Easter holiday – but not before you get involved………

Morning all. Lovely day here once again. Still very cold, so much so that we have bits of snow still lying on the ground.

sounds like the rantings of a guy who likes his super-fast broadband made locally.
Good morning friends and a Happy and Holy Easter from a bright and sunny East Kilbride.
The Celts are back! Roll on 12:45, seems like a very long time since our last match
Good morning CQNers and a very Happy Easter to everyone.
On this holy day it could be considered inappropriate to submit a political post but tomorrow sees one of the biggest upheavals in the social security system there has ever been.
May God help those poor unfortunates ensnared in this grotesque political manoeuvre.

I hope someone has explained the clock change to Efe…
Morning Bhoys and a Happy Easter to You All
Just seen the news of Martin O’Neill losing his job ,I know he had his flaws when in charge at Paradise but he left us with such wonderful memories.
On behalf of Seville ,6-2 , Beachball Sunday etc I sincerely hope that Sunderland will be playing their football in the Championship next season :)
HH
Roy.
I hope they haven’t :-)
Happy Easter to all,
what shouldn’t be forgotten is that martin oneill and I am an O’Neill on my mothers side.is :
On the wednesday before the motherwell game the bold martin was down in nottingham. lording it over the 25 year celebration of them winning the euro cup. good preparation for his team trying to win the league.
Like his dyed hair and his supposed wife’s sickness. MON was false.
Che
fair point :)
but I fancy a repeat of the back flips on this bright Easter morn…
Chris Torrey –
I find your final sentence very disturbing.. If this was my house I’d ask you to leave.
Murdochbhoy, yermanfromMK
nice choon made popular by that well known Freemason and closet queen
Burl Ives
but it sounds Socialist, so we all have to like it.
Socialist simpletons
Wake Up.
Chris Torey
“Like his dyed hair and his supposed wife’s sickness. MON was false.”
Do you mean that she wasn’t really his wife or that she wasn’t really ill?
Chris Torey
I would caterogize your words regarding Martin O’Neills’ wife as beneath contempt.
chris torey = archetypal hun (or green hun it doesn’t matter, they’re peas in a pod)
torey by (blog)name tory by nature
Like MON Burl Ives had had his eyes elsewhere.
he had nice voice.
Where is he remembered? Why in the masonic Museum in Washington.
Don’t say MON will be remembered there, he was just a fellow traveller. A nonenity led there by his ego.
Mind you he had nice hair.

Not looking for a fight on Easter Sunday…….but your
post is disgusting.
Chris Torey
Not a happy bunny this morning then eh?
In fact I had a choice of two songs to accompany my post, this is the other one, perhaps its more to your taste…..then perhaps not….

Big Rock Candy Mountain was written by Harry McClintock.
Don’t know if he was a Mason or a closet queen.
But I do know he was a Wobbly.
Reckon that’s more relevant in deciding what the song was about.
Seems to me the song is socialist.
To be fair the syntax of your posts suggest that English might not be your first language so perhaps that explains why you find it difficult to understand the lyrics.
A very Happy Easter to all,
Looking forward to the game, it is ages since we were involved in the real name of the game, fitba. Enjoyed a real great sporting weekend I expect Efe to be there on time and him to give us one of his fantastic celebrations.
What a history to have SFL league champions 2013, nae luck.
Have a great day…….

Hail Hail
Sorry Chris, let me try again for your benefit.

Your a popular man this fine easter morn
No eggs under the lily :(
Morning all, Easter Sunday and A Celtic game, that’s my kind of day, have a good one Bhoys and Ghirls of the CQN World..
Happy Easter to All
From the cqn news update I see the herald carrying a story about big kelvins return to form
Did they not watch our last game against aberdeen …
The quintessential Easter song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNpXE8q_p4s
Btw…. if nfl reads cqn … pass on this one piece of advise to kelvin…
There are four stands in the stadium … if under pressure. .. punt the ball into any one of them
Back of the paper…..’Sally praises players for title success in an unprecedented season’
Does unprecedented mean first?
Chris Torey – You’re a hurting Hun. No Celtic man would have uttered that last sentence. Go back under that rock you crawled out of and let us Celts enjoy our Easter watching the best team in Scotland.
Chris Torey
You address the blog with a Christian greeting and then negate its true meaning by uncalled for supposition about a man and the health of his wife?
Antichrist springs to mind!
Chris Torey
Disgusting statement from a class A fud.
Does your mum still dress you in the morning?
Does she still ask for me?
Team for today? Matthews, Forrest, Brown, Rogne out, Ledley a doubt
