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………

Buona Pasqua a tutti!

Then you’re in trouble cos one of you has to make coffee, it’s not easy being a multi-poster in fact maybe some of our more erudite CQN’ers could undertake a little research into the subject..
Multi-Posting : It’s origins and causes on CQN.
Multi-Posting : Facts and Myths.
There truly are some despicable, base minds on CQN. Thankfully, just one or two. I suppose hateful, spiteful characters are inevitably drawn to the light.
Forster:
Ambrose, Wanyama, Wilson, Izaguirre;
Commons, Kayal, Ledley,Mulgrew;
Samaras, Hooper.
Zaluska, Gershon, Rogic, Stokes, McGeouch, Watt and McCourt.

0 v 4 .
not seen the team yet .but a easter hat-trick would be nice.
hope its tony :-):-):-):-)
I know several people with split personalities.
Easter is a time for renewal – maybe I should change my blog name and become a multi poster
typical.now i see the team
make that a sammi trick:-)
I wonder how many of that team would get into The Rangers Championship winning team? Oh how the MSM used to love that question.
So Ambrose at RB and Wanyama in central defence? Samaras and Hooper as a front two.
Looking at that eleven, we could line up in a number of other formations too. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a few alternations during the game. Three at the back perhaps?
Should carry some threat from corners and set pieces today; looking forward to a few goals.

Someone suggested to me this morning that the league may be won on the the first game after the split and that said game possibly will be played at Rugby Park. Very interesting to see if the usual suspects will be calling for a bhoycott while beavering away in the background trying to secure tickets for themselves.
And
Might Mr Lennon be tempted to apply for the Sunderland job if so may I suggest Malky McKay to replace him
Good afternoon CQN
A happy Easter to you all and God Bless
Thank you guys for all the best wishes
We had a fantastic night last night with all the family
Looking forward to the game today hoping for a good
Result
Safe journey to all going to and from the game today

You need a comedy story sometimes.
I wonder if Charles Green gets his encouragement from Cameron and that’s why he comes out with the tripe he does.
Anyway folks, have a lovely Easter Sunday. I’m going to miss the game unfortunately because I have to go to a party in the snow (oh the joy). At least I have a bottle of Glenlivet to enjoy.
Good luck to the Celts and lets get this won asap.

“Chuckles Green attending St Mirren PARK today he must want to see real Champions.”
Surely testing his latest stand-up routine.
