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.

“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.”
Tom, I posted in response to your original statement “I hope and pray that they don’t make it, but that’s all I can do.”
I said that was not ALL that you COULD do. I pointed out that you could acknowledge that they are not the same team and never will be again, whether they win promotion or not.
I could see your point if I had demanded that you say it or insisted that you say it “every time you mention Rangers” but I didn’t.
BSR-No bother, I get sent stuff I can’t configure for on here, I bow to your greater techy knowledge .

Forgot about that one :-)
Thanks to the excellent Celtic Wiki -Celtic played Birmingham in Nov 1975 to mark the centenary of Birmingham.
Birmingham [featuring both Calderwood and Kenny Burns] won 1-0, Celtic missed a penalty.
The game was played in a tense atmosphere but passed off peacefully. The Birmingham police asked the visiting support to tone down the flying of tricolours etc.

If you saw the Reporting Scotland weather around 18.50 tonight, who was the lass presenting?
Geordie- thanks for that.
Celtic featured a player from Finn Harp called Hilary Carlyle, who came straight off the plane from Dublin to play for 50 minutes.
i expect he’s the only Hilary to wear the Hoops, in any kind of official capacity.

Re. Karen Buckley. No news at this stage is always a worry. I fear the worst but hope for the best.

“SFTB –

Wrong diagnosis, doc!
I gave you a friendly tip- and you went off all sclerotic.
It’s a fairly poor substitute for actually debating the point but each to their own.
tbj says wee oscar knox is in heaven with the angels
Your a Ghent, just as I posted as well. I will make CQN corner tomorrow will you be there?
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
I’ve just opened a bottle of ain-brew elder flower wine made a couple of years ago.. I was apprehensive, but it can only be described as blooterfull
Sure you can buy the stuff, but to watch your wee baby yeast grow into sulky teenagers, eat sugar, and fart alcohol… well, it’s a miracle. Was there ever a more wondrous organism, than one that farts alcohol… genius

You should have stopped your post at this
“There’s a few Hillary Swanks in the media “
That awkward moment when you actually remember the ole Celtic trialist.

Re: Athletico
‘during their time the team have been known by a number of nicknames….’
They will always be Los Dirty Bas***dos to me. I can never forgive for that game. Players, fans & club. Vile.
Lennybhoy,
No trouble. I had just finished reading the mail from Celtic just before I read your post.
