Yesterday we learned that the Scottish Government hoped to authorise socially distanced outdoor events from 23 July. Reports today suggest the club “plan” to have 30,000 fans at games by August.
Before that happens, the virus must continue on its current trajectory, the social ‘distance’ must reduce from 2m and the Government needs to give the green light.
When we are back at football, it will feel more like an airport experience, with temperature checks, travel flow guidelines, sanitise stations, masks and the kind of distancing rules that will make the prohibition on horizontal movement look like a swearing ban.
I don’t think there is much sympathy from the politicians for football’s position – they have more important things to worry about, but what Celtic and the SRU in particular have assured, is that football can be as safe, if not safer, than most other outdoor activities, and safer than all social indoor ones. When the Government allows drinkers into pubs and beer gardens, they will find it difficult to revert to their usual antagonistic approach to football fans.
Still nothing from Celtic on any of this, which is right. Under-promise when you cannot control events. And no one is campaigning for a return, wait until we are safe and be fair.

and now I want to ask for a bit of recognition for a great celt, a great cqn-er and a good friend
The bhoy that is
GREENLION2
retires from our work place in a few days. In the bizarre world we are in , there was no presentation, and gifts, no stories , no pub, no dinner, but we did have a Zoom call, with him and his family from 3pm today.
It was like a last shift.
It actually turned out good, virtual drinks, good cheer, great laughs, old friends and colleagues, it was really really funny, and heart warming, the roasting and slaggings included. 3 hours later, we were mostly seven sheets to the wind, but in a brilliant way
So, I met many of you on here through the big fella’s introduction. If he is in your phone book give him a text and wish him well for the next chapter.
Big Joe, enjoy your retirement.
Il Presidente – Glass raised (again).
Glass raised

So sorry to hear if your illness. I hope you get to spend some quality last days with your family.
God Bless.
GREENLION2
Enjoy your retirement, it’s no’ so bad! Took early retirement a couple of years ago, cannae whack it.
Sad sad news hunderbirdsaregone.
Prayers said for you and your loved ones.
All the best Greenlion2, enjoy a long, happy and healthy retirement.
Being reported that Southampton want a preseason to assess Forster before deciding in his future. This will rule him out of the start to our SPFL season and euro qualifying. I’m assuming the same applies to Elyounoussi.
The chances of getting one or both back to Celtic Parl for next season looks remote now. It’s a big blow to us.
As for Joe Hart – no way Pedro !
I would have Boruc back before Hart,if we can’t get Forster
Boruc and Hart are both gone…
Pity about Fraser but having watched McCarthy the other night I’m not surprised. He had a shocker.
Not sure he will want to look at Moi as much so be good to get him signed up.
Lennybhoy – Don’t get the Hickey signing. Certainly not a solution to our LB problem next season. I’m hoping we see Boli kick on. Taylor always a strange one for me.
Need a keeper early doors it seems. mmmmmmm
I have e-mailed JP Taylor ( Liaison Officer ) at Celtic Park to see if he can identify that guy with Big Jock in the photo` posted by St Stivs earlier.
If he ( JPT ) can, I will let the Blog know .
First choice… Fraz back if possible, outstanding keeper .. don’t care if he canny kick the ball he saves plenty
If not the big mhan then Joe Hart ? Wages permitting could be an excellent addition ..
Artur Boruc for the 10 …. :-) :-) :-)
Best wishes to Hunderbirds at this time.
Greenlion2: enjoy your retirement.
Big Jimmy: Best wishes and hope you make a speedy recovery.
Gene: belated birthday wishes.

Brilliant … a wee tear listening to that
Hope you are back on that iron horse soon
Terrible news about hunderbirdsare gone. I also misread posts about Big Jimmy a couple of days ago, thought it was good news and I’m hoping it still is, thoughts with both of you right now. Wee bit out of touch as I’ve not been on much for a while.
