There is something demeaning about Celtic putting out daily messages asking fans who have zero interest in attending Celtic Park on Sunday to stay away from the game at the insistence of the Scottish Government.
They have been forced into this by Government muscle flexing. The Government have zero intention of cancelling the fixture but cannot control that information from leaking through their ranks. This pantomime will continue until the First Minister, or perhaps her Justice Minister, will concede that Celtic and the visitors have ‘done enough’ to allow the fixture to go ahead. Celtic’s messaging has been crystal clear for 12 months; we are not the transgressing party, but we are useful to deflect from the core problem.
If only the Government had been as keen to act last March. They froze when they should have made a decision, allowing 50,000 fans to attend a Europa League game in Ibrox, including thousands of visitors from Germany. Despite first hand access to the scientific evidence, they continued to divert their eyes until football took the unilateral decision to call a halt to the sport, two days before another 50,000 were due at Ibrox. A year on and your Government has matured into faux grandstanding around the most important issue of our lives, mark my words, the game will go ahead, this is all false.

think we’ll see some of the characters who’ve disappeared o’ late come back in ither guises……….
Aye.
I know it is two weeks on from the Dundee United game but James Forrest looked nowhere near ready to play competitive football when John Kennedy brought him on for the last 12 minutes.
We cannot afford passengers so he had better be both fit ansd march sharp this time otherwise he should be a tactical sub only- brought on if needs be, if we’re ahead.
Team for me is
Bain
Kenny Welsh Ajer Laxalt
Brown
Christie McGregor
Turnbull
Edouard Elyounoussi

Aye
And using a pet blog to brainwash the support that “we tried our best”.
I know some have wanted Celtic to have nothing to do with the diktats on fan behaviour and would have preferred we don’t cooperate or default the game…….
However
This would look and be portrayed as cowardice- being unwilling to face down a Triumphalist Hun.
We have to be brave enough to take them on and we have to be brave enough to blow their Invincible season up in their smug faces.
That is what we are playing for and it should be enough. We were better than them till Bitton’s brain fart last time and we can be again.
Faux grandstanding by this administration? Of course it is – everything they do is faux because it is a faux government – a cult.
This cult could not provide the services that Scotland needs without a annual fiscal transfer of billions from the UK – a sum that grows every year.
This cult could not have survived the global crash of 2008 without the safety-net of the UK.
This cult would have Scotland drowning in a soup made of Saltires during this global pandemic, were it not for the billions of pounds of support from UKGOV.
This cult would be faced with over a million unemployed & thousands business shutting down were it not for the UK Furlough scheme pumping in billions of pounds.
This cult is consumed with constitutional issues when thousands have died from Covid. Under their policies over two thousand of the elderly were kicked out of hospital into petri-dish care homes and left to contract the virus and die.
This cult has presided over education as it falls through the floor in all international league tables.
This cult has centralised eight regional police forces into a national force in order to exact political control.
This cult has interfered at the highest level in our legal system for its own party purposes.
This cult has played fast and loose with every aspect of Covid & football. Absolutely no consistency of decision-making
This is a faux government – a cult that makes every decision based only how it affects their ratings.
This is a faux government who would play Russian Roulette with the lives & livelihoods of our population.
This is a faux government – it does not govern for ALL the people. The majority rejected their stupid independence ‘thick’ white paper. The majority vote for parties committed to the UK, & still this faux government continue to force the dogma of separation from the UK down our throats.
When you want as simple answer to the question ‘how totally wilful & blinkered is the SNP cult?’, let me offer this -only a cult would spend taxpayers money to plaster gaelic signage on transport, hospitals, government buildings, ambulances, the NHS & Police – a dying language understood only by a fraction of one percent of our population.
Actually the word ‘faux’ is a compliment for this cult – CORRUPT is far more apt.
We all know the game is going to go ahead Paul and we all know Celtic fans are planning on turning up at it if they believe the sevconians are going to be there.
Our fans have not been compliant in matters of social distancing for it was them, not the other mob, who turned up in their droves outside Celtic Park to hurl abuse at their club’s employees not so long ago. Or was that a figment of my imagination?
SFTB
Agree ref wee Jamesie
I’d go with your team, with my exception being Polish Paddy in place of Elyounoussi.
I think the former’s physicality should be used to get in amongst the FOD
Hope you’re well

79 Caps – the Rankers Covid crew are up before the SFA on March 25th – almost six weeks after the incident and well clear of any games which could have any meaning in league terms, they never missed a beat in playing fir Rankers and there is no evidence of internal fines. Bolingoli got a five game ban two weeks after his Spain flight, was fined heavily bu Celtic and most likely will not play for us again. Interestingly the ‘Aberdeen eight’ were only given a three match suspended sentence so is spect that is what will happen to the ‘fondue five’.

You ask why do Celtic not tell Nicola to go take an F at the moon.
Answer dead simple.
There is not an ounce of guts or interest in fans views within Boadroom.
And for Godsake do not upset corporate shareholders.
Celtic at present time rotten to Dublin Tory led core.
If Elyounoussi didn’t play another game for us,it wouldn’t bother me….

So it’s one rule for us, another for them. I don’t suppose our Board will say anything.
St Tams,.Biton.I could say the same for Welsh,Laxsalt,Christie,Eddy,,but won’t.Needs must,and we need someone who can head balls away from crosses.Ajer and Welsh can’t,so your ideas on who will.
Please
Beer gardens are open from 26th April🍺🍺
Reality Vs reporting…
Tram crash on Dumbarton Road, at Primrose Street, Glasgow, 18th May 1931, when the car took the corner too quick, and crashed into the Scotstoun Emporium; and how reported in Milan’s La Domenica Del Corriere.

I know he isn’t the big name that our fans would like but i wouldn’t mind Steve Clarke.
SFTBs,
That team you posted ,has failed so many times this season.Why try again.I will say again,we need Biton in there for crosses into the box.Jamesy has had a bounce game,and 2 weeks more training under his belt.Must start.We have not seen Kenny play behind a winger yet.Now is the chance.If nothing else,we need a settled team for the Cup.Its all important now.Unless you want to witness those horrible scum celebrating again.
JHB
Cheer up mate might never happen…but hopefully it does!!😉

A little bit racist no ?
TIM HORTON,

Although i’m not from Glasgow your pictures are brilliant.
I had heard the toppled tram story when I was a bhoy, but I thought it was the uncles making things up.

If you seen the interview, it was more what he didn’t say,than he did,if you know what I mean, he could have dismissed it totally but he didn’t.

Need to try harder at coming up with something better.

Someone has got to remember this lady

It’s 1961, and street trader Ellen (Nelly) O’Hagan, is busy selling her artificial blooms in Buchanan Street. Shawl on, and fag in hand, she’d no doubt be shouting out her wares.

Never mines, just a trawl through some blogs and accounts that I get interested in, pick a subject or place and I will get something for you.

That team has failed but so has every alternative on the bench.
Elyounoussi has scored as many as Griffiths & Ajeti combined. he also has as many assists as them so he is as productive as two of the laternatives combined.
Bitton lost us the last Sevco game and does not offer any more in the way of aerial dominance- we’d do better bringing in Shane Duffy for that.
I agree Ryan Christie has not done the business but he does not lack for effort and is overdue a goal vs Sevco.
If we play with the diamond shape we have
Continuity of team style
Continuity of selection
A narrower midfield to combat their 5
And a back 4 to deal with their wingers
So where you from Tim and don’t say mistersauga

When your input is cut n paste from the right wing press it doesn’t leave room for improvisation.
