I see the story that Feyenoord are chasing John Guidetti has lasted more days than I expected. John Guidetti is a likeable guy and seems to have enjoyed his time at Celtic, but he desperately needs to show some form before the end of the season if he is to attract the attention of Feyenoord or any team of that calibre.
One aspect often overlooked about Guidetti is his inexperience. The player is still only 22 and had started only 30 games before arriving at Celtic Park last season, there’s a good chance that by the end of the season he will have played more games for Celtic than anyone else. On paper, a season at Celtic was a chance to sort his career out, grab first team football at a prestigious club who were short of a centre forward. Conversely, being kept out of the team by Leigh Griffiths will damage his reputation.
Barcabhoy sent me an interesting summary of Celtic’s material loss since the liquidation of Rangers. The figures below compare the three years before Rangers liquidation with the two and a half years since.
As you see, even though we are comparing a shorter time period after liquidation, Celtic’s turnover and profitability is still miles better than when we had to compete with Rangers.
This should end any nonsense about Celtic needing or in any way missing Rangers. We lost some revenue streams: domestic commercial and ticket income, but the slipstream to European revenues have more than made up for the gap. More importantly, we are also no longer caught in an arms race with a death-risk opponent, allowing us to bring costs below income and plan longer than the current season.

Couldn’t see the wood for the trees there :-)
Hail Hail
New season ticket t&c’s
Why are faithful Celtic fans under the age of 18 being priced out of two Celtic matches in order to accommodate bigots???
So much for the statement in Paul67’s latest article above.
Someone always ends up playing someone else 3 times away. Always happens. I dunno why some get so shocked.
Tom mcg – not much we can do to stop it is there? But I suppose we can say whether or not we welcome it.
The sad thing is, regardless of the absolute dross they have in their squad, if they come up it will be as a result of spending money they don’t have. Just like oldCo.
Vukic for example, scored goals and improved their play which will probably get them to the play offs. They are going to pay for that while they are making a loss.

“Under 13, 13-16, 17-18, Students and Overseas Season Tickets are valid for all home SPFL league matches, excluding any matches against Rangers FC, and 2 other home matches as nominated by the Club (a minimum of 19 home matches and a maximum of 21 home matches).”
Bigots before young hoops fans – over to Peter Lawwell for explanation
Kevtic,
There’s an error in there. Poorly worded.

“I hope and pray that they don’t make it, but that’s all I can do.”
You could acknowledge that “they” are not “they” anymore. It takes no extra effort.
Yes it does happen every year three away from home, I don’t have a problem with it, I was just wondering and making sure there was no gerrymandering going on, not that there would be in this league, cough, cough.
Shortbread wheel out the bigot Calderwood, cue recording of a Dunfermline goal against……………..
Thoughts on….
The Russians. Whenever our “they” don’t want us to know something – it’s 50 years before we’re told. When they want us to “know” about an event….well, ken yersel!
The Rangers. There has been a growing “feel good factor” creeping into Scottish football the last year or so. Growing feeling along with as people were getting used to the demise of you know who. Is it just me, or does there inevitable “return” ,(sic), spoil that feeling?
Wasn’t a dig at you Tony neebs.
It’s just a consequence of having a 12 team leave with a 6 team split.
Not sure if it still happens but in the Danish league every club only plays each other 3 times.
Imagine trying that here :-o
No no, I know that, N P.geordie munro
Listening to Shortbreid (am I allowed to say that?); slagging Tommy Craig for not walking when Danny Lennon left St Mirren.
I must have missed the same discussion when McDowall took over from Sally.

I ain’t touching that one tonight, could go any way I think.
Thank The Lord,St Mirren are not in the play offs…….
Too bad the Irish government can’t scramble of few fighter jets to keep the RAF away from our country:
‘Mystery’ aircraft spotted over Newry was RAF training flight
April 13, 2015
An aircraft, which was observed flying low over the Newry area on Tuesday last, was an RAF military plane on a training exercise, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has revealed.
The unusual sight was witnessed in the sky over Newry and Warrenpoint and other areas across Northern Ireland, with one witness describing its “dipping and twisting” flying pattern as “really frightening”.
And the PSNI in Newry and Mourne even posted this photo (below) on its Facebook page appealing for information on the ‘mystery’ plane.
The riddle was soon solved, however, when the MoD revealed the aircraft was a C130-J Hercules military plane on an RAF training flight.
Confirming this, the Newry and Mourne PSNI team said the aircraft was conducting low-level navigation, and added: “No need to go to any of the air shows now!”
Not everyone was impressed with the air show, however, with éirigí in Newry condemning it as “another example of the British military using this part of Ireland as a training ground to hone their skills for use in their imperialist exploits”.
The group’s spokesperson, Stephen Murney, said: “We also currently have the Special Reconnaissance Regiment [SRR] operating in the six counties, a regiment who would be regularly trained in deployment from low-level aircraft – exactly the type of manoeuvres which took place over county Down. The fact that this sinister regiment has close links to the SAS should not be lost upon the Irish people.
“In recent years there have been clear attempts to ‘normalise’ the ongoing British military presence in the North. In 2007 when the British Army’s so-called “Operation Banner” ended some people wrongly claimed that this was the beginning of the end of British soldiers operating in Ireland. They were clearly wrong. There’s nothing ‘normal’ about British troops, MI5 agents or British warplanes operating on Irish soil or in our skies, regardless of whether they are doing it to target Irish citizens or training to target populations in other countries.”

SFTB –
That makes no sense. Why should I have to acknowledge that every time I mention Rangers?
The words “make it” refer to making it to the top league. How does that imply they are the same club? I could see your point if I had said “make it back” but I didn’t.

Exactly, these things don’t count when it’s about the …simply the crest.

Bbc news reorting, missing cork lady, karen buckley’s handbag has been found in dawsholm park. Please let her be found alive.
________________________________________________________________
They also reported that Karen and the man she was seen with were intimate,
in the name of God did we really need to know that.
BBC go on about mcinnes saying the leagues over….all he actually said was for Aberdeen to.catch Celtic that Celtic would have to be dropping points which they haven’t been..I.think the meeja have been overplaying the “concession” somewhat..
Jeez, Jum White’s just such a wanker…
Lol, ssb now saying there are lots of managers up for manager of the year, Birchill gives his vote to Jim McIntire, yaawwwwwwwn.
Shortbread trying manfully to punt Virgil asap……………..strangely when a new ‘wonderkid ‘at Poundland appears,the mantra is ‘let’s keep our best players in Scotland……’

You said you wouldnt touch the Atletico v Real match as so close and i agree.
However with those odds you would win on 2 out of the 3 possibilities. May be worth a punt on the draw and a Real victory?
nye bevans’ rebel soldier-totally agree, absolutely no need for detail like that, can’t see how it helps to find the girl.No thought for her suffering parents.
” Brian……….how come you’re so good?”
Is that Jimmy ‘ my dad would kill me if we beat Rangers’ Calderwood on Radio Shortie?

Yup, but I’ve put my bet on, to late now :)

great post paul and barcabhoy
The Athleti are due to move to their new home of Estadio La Peineta which will have a capacity of 70,000.
The Athleti’s home kit is red and white vertical striped shirts, with blue shorts, accompanied by blue and red socks. This combination has been used since 1911. The current club kits are manufactured by Nike and the main sponsor is Azerbaijan.
During their history, the club has been known by a number of nicknames, including Los Colchoneros (“The Mattress Makers”), due to their first team stripes being the same colours as old-fashioned mattresses. During the 1970s, they became known as Los Indios, allegedly due to the club signing several South American players after the restrictions on signing foreign players were lifted. However, there are a number of alternative theories which claim they were named so because their stadium is “camped” on the river bank, or because Los Indios (The Indians) were the traditional enemy of Los Blancos (The Whites), which is the nickname of the club’s city rivals, Real Madrid.
