So how many of us checked the fixture schedule a month or so back and thought, “We can win the league on the St Patrick’s Day weekend”? Then came Motherwell and Ross County, now we will do well to win the league on the same date as Gordon Strachan’s team did in 2006. This seems to exercise Neil Lennon more than me. I’ll take the win anytime, although where it’s won is far more important.
Having said that, anything other than a victory tomorrow would be a sign of something gone wrong. Aberdeen have been wretched in recent months and the Celtic players have benefited from a rare free midweek, allowing rest and preparation. They will also have more than sufficient feedback on last week’s capitulation to ensure muscles are itching to go.
This month’s edition of CQN Magazine has just launched, some have said the best yet! We take you from Helsinki to heave, these have been special times for Celtic and we know how to enjoy them……….
It’s written by the CQN community, for the CQN community, and is absolutely free to read online (special thanks to those who voluntarily subscribed, the lights have been kept shining as a result).
You can read the Magazine by clicking on the double headed arrow at the bottom right of the graphic below.

When I was a boy, we lived in Ibrox and our good neighbour was a blue nose called Dan.
Dan loved Wullie Henderson, tricky wingers were his type of player – as he frequently told me whenever he had a few too many (which was often).
However, he always qualified his eulogies on WH as a winger by stating, in almost disbelief (and admiration) that “Celtic have got an even BETTER wan!!!”.
THEY knew how good Jinky was, even if the SFA selection committee couldn’t quite see it.

good luck to all the bhoys in the GB’s we stroll today.

Cheers, I have started googling the suggestions after being a little caught out with the Tolbooth earlier.
Mickbhoy1888 appreciate your latest suggestions. The Squirrel looks like a place where a JD and coke is viewed as a cocktail !
G.E.bhoy.

Cheers Doc

GourockEmeraldBhoy
congradulations, hope thatnew bhoys wearing the hoops today, start them early
hail hail
Googy Ecclefechan, race ye!
Singing pubs ?
Don’t think that the Park Bar can be beaten.
Can get a bit crowded but, all things considered, it provides a better atmosphere & more chance of genuine, non-commercial, Scots/ Irish music & song, than the GlasgowX/ Calton alternatives.
With all these things it is a bit of a lottery. Some nights much better than others.

congratulations , that’ll stop St Ninians role from falling :-)

Congratulations to you and the family
Welcome to the celtic family young GourockEmeraldBhoy
No game for me today :(( family commitments, though there was a chance but alas no.
Have a great day all, especially all that make it to paradise.
No gazebo action for me today. Up the Western waiting on them taking the buoy into surgery.
Poor fellow’s in a bad way. Playing a game last night and was taken out from behind. Full force through his standing foot. Bit like being taken out by a bob sled. Shocker.
Result, spiral fracture to the fib at the ankle and the foot dislocated. Xrays look like a bundle of straws.
Chap’s got a bit of a hill to climb in the coming months.
Anyone involved in boys football would do well to reflect on the consequences of exhorting kids to be aggressive. They don’t understand the damage they can do.

Ps Ernie – belter
Did anyone else catch Burley slagging of Jo Venglos during the Newcastle-Anzi game?
What is this guy’s problem? He said that we went for Hiddink and ended up with Venglos unfortunately. Did we not meet and talk with Hiddink and end up with MON?
The CQN Coupon this week consists, totally coincidentally, of 7 aways. So the ones to avoid today are –
Estadio Nacional: Man City (away to Everton)
The Token Tim: Liverpool (away to Southampton)
Greenlion2: Arsenal (away to Swansea)
pfAyr: Watford (away to Barnsley)
Lennybhoy: Cardiff (away to Sheffield Wednesday)
Awalkacrosstherooftops: Gillingham (away to Morecambe)
Jobo: Morton (away to Dumbarton)
Only bet what you can afford to lose; that’s what we’ve done every week for 3 years…

from my limited experience young bones are softer and heal quicker – insist on physio.
Heavy rain and sleet and the windae wipers kaput/ liquidated/ zombiefied .

R*n*ers innocent when proven guilty http://www.irishpost.co.uk/sport/r*n*ers-innocent-when-proven-guilty … Outstanding piece, must read.
Sorry for mentioning thems on the day of a game, but a good view of things.

Burley is a one man anti-Celtic bandwagon.
And his mad obsession has tumbled right over the edge.
I feel sorry for him.
A decent player turned arsehole.
He rarely misses ANY opportunity to spout his ill-considered bile.
The Battered Bunnet –
very sorry to hear of your son’s predicament. Prayers and wishes for a good prognosis and speedy recovery.

Nice piece by Gerard Donaghy.
He reminds us all again that “Lord Nimmo Smith ruled that ‘the board of directors sanctioned the making of payments under the side-letter arrangements without taking any legal or accountancy advice to justify the non-disclosure’. Basically, Rangers’ years of cheating was a mistake, an admin error. But again, in any court of law for any crime, you will be told that ignorance is no defence. Not so in Scottish football.”
TBB,
Wishing your lad all the best. A son to be proud of, your young man is.
I know how you’ll be feeling, would rather have taken yourself than had your son go through it.
Will hopefully see you both soon.
Muted Gazebo today.

I despise Yorkston…
Dunfermline Athletic’s chairman
John Yorkston launched a withering
attack on The Pars Community fans’
group (TPC) after last-ditch rescue
talks collapsed last night, dubbing
them “nuisance value”.
Mr Yorkston also claimed majority
shareholder Gavin Masterton “called their
bluff”.
