Have yourself a troubled night in Glasgow

1188

With Lionel Messi and Barcelona focussed on winning their final group game against Benfica tomorrow night Celtic must achieve a better result against Spartak Moscow than Benfica manage at the Camp Nou to progress to the latter stages of the Champions League.

Aiden McGeady has suffered a recurrence of a pennate muscle tendon injury and is doubtful.  Georgian creative midfielder, Jano Ananidze, is also out injured, while coach Valery Karpin is under pressure to axe Argentine defenders Juan Insaurralde and Nicolas Pareja after both picked up red cards on Friday night against Zenit.  The Russian media have also turned on Dutch midfielder Demy De Zeeuw, who was at least partially culpable for the Zenit defeat.  Celtic could face a more cohesive Russian team tomorrow, although perhaps without some of their more talented players. Who this troubles most remains to be seen.

Reading (and writing) Celtic Quick News you learn of the thousands of actions Celtic fans take in order to assist others or alleviate pain and distress.  In aggregate these actions can and do move mountains.

Yesterday it was announced that one of our family, Rod Stewart, is donating proceeds of his new single, Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas, to the Celtic Charity Fund and Teenage Cancer Trust to fight this horrible disease and assist those afflicted by it.

The single will be available for download from this Sunday, 9 December.  It offers you and me the opportunity to raise awareness – and funds – on a level we would otherwise never be able to achieve.  Charity is part of your job as a Celtic fan.  On this occasion, on aggregate, we can have an enormous impact.

Still looking for tickets for tomorrow night?

You can email an auction bid for two Wee Oscar Write Bands, each comes with a free ticket to Celtic v Spartak Moscow.  Send an email with your bid to weeoscar4life@gmail.com.  Competition closes at 20:00 GMT tonight.

You can buy the CQN Annual at the Cathedral House Hotel before the game tomorrow night. The Hotel are organising a lift to the game too!

We’ll pick up on the SFA president once the more important matters are out of the way.

  1. Valentine's Day on

    Thank’s all for advice

     

     

    it’s the first time he has

     

     

    got the better of me since

     

     

    Valentines Day

  2. The CHARLES GREEN, The Chief Executive of The Rangers, has tonight issued the following statement.

     

     

    Still no sign of my prospectus for my Sevco, sorry Rangers share issue.

     

     

    If only I had asked those guys at CQN to publish it for me. They apparently got their CQN Annual out on time, all their supporters are paying them at a tenner for it and it is even delivered the next day. Incredible! Months I have been waiting for my prospectus! Months!

     

     

    I am confident that I can sell 500 Million Sevco Annuals, sorry The Rangers Annuals at a tenner to our massive worldwide fanbase – so that’s five trillion I’ll make – so my Sevco shares are a great deal regardless of the lack of my Sevco Prospectus, sorry my The Rangers Prospectus…

     

     

    They are selling their CQN ANNUAL at this address http://www.eklektik.co.uk/

  3. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    The rankers have also set a precedent here, which will result in an even greater dilution of their potential revenue……..would you buy shares in a club who refuse revenue……

     

     

    jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way….

     

     

    we don’t want your money, ’cause we took the huff today…….

  4. greene is trying to build siege mentality – this will help sell shares to the fans! however i feel it could backfire big time as many are turning against his tactics – he is ruining a club which is only weeks old.

  5. Mike in Toronto on

    SiciliaBhoy

     

     

    You better watch yourself …. them’s fighting words! See, Paul, I told you it was about to kick off here!

     

     

    No, Torontony … I haven’t been drinking … just in a good mood today (and yes, the subject of your email could have something to do with it)

  6. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    They are denying a member club revenue…..kick them out of the tournament ……jabba must have started his job early …….what a laugh this is….

  7. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    I expect the threat of the picket line and violent threats to anyone wanting to go will have the biggest effect on the mythological “decent hun”. Greens stategy is an attempt to nulify that division.

     

    Think we’ll see smaller crowds at tbe begging bowl as a result of that threat.

  8. SFA to discuss boycott on Thursday……………………..

     

     

    should mean we will get an answer in time for the Cup Final in May!

  9. johann murdoch on

    SFA will discuss Sevco refusing ticket allocation..must likely Dundee Utd to be fined for daring to be drawn against the mighty Sevco !

  10. The Moon Bhoys on

    Completely agree, HMRC’s decision to appeal throws the BTC final outcome back in to the melting point, here’s hoping they end up guilty all over again, and as an extra bonus keeps a huge spotlight on the OLDCO / NEWCO divide, the longer it stays switched on the more difficult its becomes for them to argue they are one and the same, all good news.

  11. Ofcom on the FF banned list after they decide not to take any action over the BBC Ally McCoist jumping off the top of Ibrox montage?

  12. Fabulous look inside at Borussia Dortmund there on SS2

     

     

    The idea of the footballs firing out at players in a cage whereby they then have to pass them into a highlighted slot was brillaint

  13. Doctor Whatfor on

    As I slowly calm down here I am coming to the realisation that anyone who claims to be a businessman and who makes decisions in such a banal and petty way is bound to fail. Bound to fail I tell you!!!!!

  14. Ok so the zombies of William will not take tickets for the Utd game. Ok so they can’t be involved in setting the price of admission . Ok so Utd make it entry by voucher in a programme set the price of the programme to allow an adult in with a kid free. Each pay 50p at the gate.

  15. •-:¦:-•** -:¦:- sparkleghirl :¦:-.•**• -:¦:-• on

    Chuck: ““Our only regret is that this turn of events will not assist Ally McCoist and the team in what will be a very difficult fixture.”

     

     

    Gettin the excuses in early.

  16. The security situation being compromised, would involve

     

    bear on bear action, ha ha hilarious.

     

     

    If they get away with refusing tickets, does that mean

     

    every other club could refuse to give them tickets.

  17. Greensideup,

     

     

    Does that mean no matter what they are called they will always be them

     

    Or

     

    Sevco is a new club no matter how much one may call them Rangers?

  18. That clown green says that they would welcome certain spl clubs like motherly to ibroke but by inference not others. Should he not say who is on the naughty list.

     

     

    The guy is sad and sick but importantly very dangerous by playing with these types of things, it could led to unstable people reacting it ways he is incapable of conceiving.

  19. johann murdoch on

    So ole Chuckles doesn’t want to return to the spl and potentially CL income ..refuses ticket income ..roll up roll up buy the shares !

  20. Doctor WhatFor – Absolutely agree, any sensible businessman can’t afford to make kneejerk decisions based on an emotional reaction. That kind of behaviour is for the fans. A chairman or CEO should be calm, considered and be capable of seeing the longer term or holistic view.

     

     

    Chuckie green would be well served if he made his mantra “What would Peter Lawwell do?” ;)

  21. sfa say they will enforce change if spl, sfl, cannot agree change really? an authority that cannot even bring itself to

     

    enforce its own rules when needed to protect the same very game,

     

    you gotta admit charlie is not stupid he is making it unbearable

     

    [pun intended] for the game to run properly because he knows they are scared to do anything about it,he is showing that this

     

    has to be stopped before it gets out of hand and you better get

     

    us back in at the top, for the good of the game that is ofcourse

     

    and we can all be friends again.

  22. Valentines Day

     

     

    Being a Hun is a mindset!

     

     

    Regards the refusal to take tickets, is the TV money split?

     

    And what happened to them winning a quadruple, wis aw the talk of the media and the sevconians!

  23. Davie Howard ‏@DavieH1888

     

    crackin point on #SSB .. SFL clubs voted not to let them into SFL1 .. Why they not boycotting SFL clubs too ?

  24. A few things bubbling up now.

     

     

    The subtle differentiating between the old club and the new club.

     

     

    The DU website using the The word,although, not for the first time they backtracked.C. Levein.

     

     

    Jabba’s decommissioning.

     

     

    HMRC’s decision to appeal. A win here sets a precedent that the FTT cannot.

     

     

    Charlie Bialystock bowing to the hordes re Cup tickets. They always accommodate the extreme element, to the point of actively courting them.

     

     

    The foot shot indicates that there is no external interest in their share issue.

     

    They only have the siege card to play and he is playing it to the limit.

     

     

    They are in a very, very, bad place.

     

     

    Shame. Scotland’s Shame.

  25. fergus slayed the blues on

    If CG says there are certain teams (not all ) that they have a problem with ,well why don’t Sevco come out and tell those clubs to their face who they are .Then said clubs can get on with football without sevco .
