We’ve had a few free kick experts in modern times. Lubo was first. He could hit them, and score with them, with either foot. The man was a menace to opponents on many levels. He also taught us that hitting the ball as hard as possible into an opponent’s body, standard fare for Celtic in the 80s and early 90s, was a poor return from a dead ball situation.
Lubo clearly influenced Shaun but it wasn’t until Naka arrived that Shaun really found his grove. With right footed Maloney and left footed Nakamura lining up behind the ball keepers were forced to leave a vulnerable space at any centrally-located free kick.
I don’t remember any player scoring with three consecutive free kicks, an absolutely exceptional feat. John Guidetti is proving to be an exceptional player. From what I hear he’s also enjoying being a Celtic player, there’s been a meeting of minds on what is expected and what’s on offer.
This is a young player who has already learned a few lessons on football clubs and career management. He has the makings of a Celtic legend.
Those of you who weren’t there last night, make sure you see the goals. Four of them were exceptional.
Many thanks to everyone who has big on our auction for two debenture seats for the Inverness game on Saturday, courtesy of Celtic sponsor, Magners. Funds raised go towards building our forth kitchen for Mary’s Meals in Malawi, specifically for the 909 children who attend Chibwata Primary School in Dowa, which currently doesn’t have a kitchen.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, but……… things are improving. 93% of your money raised is getting to the projects on the ground, Mary’s Meals are now feeding hundreds of thousands of kids there each day, over 2000 of them in kitchens CQN readers have already built.
Kids who are fed at school there are able to attend instead of having to work for food – primary school attendance is up 30% after Mary’s Meals build a kitchen. As a result they all get a basic education, some of them are set on a road to a higher education and all have better chances in life.
The auction closes tomorrow. You will do nothing better today than get involved with this one, which you can do here.
Above link is now sorted….

Racism in Scotland is our society’s family delinquent, hidden away from sight, unacknowledged, not spoken of, and which very occassionally makes an embarrassing appearance in public.
It’s part of our hereditary instinct to attack ‘the Other’ on the basis of difference, but is by a huge distance the most common of hate related expressions.
Hate Crime stats show consistently over the past 10 years between 4500 and 5000 instances of racially aggravated hate crime every year.
Scotland’s Black and Minority Ethnic population per 2011 census is some 200,000.
It seems incredible but is merely banal fact that 20% of this group of people has been postponed he victim of a racially motivated attack in just the last 10 years.
Twenty percent.
And this figure represents only those attacks for which a perpetrator was identified and charged.
No suspect: No charge.
No charge: No hate crime recorded.
Shameful. Altogether, shameful.
I have just read an article saying that Gerrard or Mr.Liverpool is considering a move to Celtic the 34 year old midfielder is disappointed that he has never won a league winners medal and sees that joining Celtic could rectify the situation.It must be a slow news day why would we want another player coming to Celtic to top up his pension youth is the way forward not old has beens. H.H.

Headed in opposite direction from Leith to ‘the West’.’
The SFA have called a man out as a racist.In todays age they had better know what they are doing and have the back up to take this thro to courts if need be, if Tonev decides to go that far.
I know if it were me and I was getting called out on this charge I would pursue to the highest court in the land to clear my name.I would do this as this label could possibly ruin my future career.
A lot has been implied about racist attitudes from eastern bloc countries,rgis may or may not be so. I suppose getting called a racist by
an institution,who supported one of its biggest clubs operate a sectarian policy for most of the first 115 of its 140 year life is a but much to take!
