Highland trips shadow final Champions League round

501

This time next week Celtic will have played two competitive games, both at home, and we will have a chance to properly assess preseason preparations.  Even if victories are achieved against HJK Helsinki and Aberdeen the challenges for the remainder of the month, with at least four and possibly five games away from Celtic Park, with the possibility of only one home game, in the final Champions League qualifying round, will ensure Celtic are tested to their limit.

Two trips to the Highlands ahead of the Champions League qualifiers would be an unwelcome distraction.  Maybe an occasion for the youth and fringe players.

Let me know if you want to advertise in the forthcoming issue of CQN Magazine, celticquicknews@gmail.com.

  1. “Charles Green, chief executive of Rangers newco, courted controversy yesterday by claiming that bigotry was among the motives for his club being denied entry to the Scottish Premier League.”

     

     

    100% Correcto Chuck. We don’t want you Bigots in the SPL :)

  2. I am NL in NZ Tauranga on

    Shocker Mrs Tauranga just grabbed the douffer and chnaged the channel from beach volleyball to mens gymnastics. Not a sports lover.

  3. They can’t be stupid enough to think that if they use the same name, strip, ground and claim all the history that HMRC are going to do nothing about it are they?

    its that simple really

  5. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    Kirk Broadfoot did wear the oldco stopes but sadly not over his face.

     

    The oldco stopes lack the daft stars but still has ‘Tennents’ for some reason below the badge.

     

     

    There’s no squad numbers, and no names on the back.

  6. ibleedgreenandwhite1 on

    So this mob are still being referred to as Rangers,still sponsored by Tennents ad still wearing the same strip,playing at the same stadium,with most of the same first team players with a few new signings as well!

     

     

    So where is the punishment part going to begin?????

    That’s the only remaining plus point of this whole saga. Despite all their wailing and gnashing of teeth, that haven’t actually received any real punishments for their wrongdoing. Everything that’s happened to data has been as a result of their poor business skills.

    Green issues Celtic challenge http://bit.ly/QYlCty #VideoCelts #Celtic

     

     

     

    His big mouth about Celtic will see him fall right on his coupon..

  9. Same old, same old, yesterday.

     

     

    Every team in the SPL should keep a record of the utterings from the ‘Fit & Proper’ chuck green yesterday for future reference.

     

     

    They are now going to attempt to be vindictive against every other club in Scotland, but mainly to Celtic, they are desperate to maintain a link to us, we need to ignore them, they are a non-event, a hideous, archaic, organisation, they bring nothing good to football or society.

     

     

    I have agreed with the silence from the Celtic board up till now but I think a statement should be forthcoming now, not to slap newco, but to praise all other SPL & SFL clubs that have indicated their support for integrity and fair play, also a tribute should be paid to the supporters who massively backed the clubs during the past few months.

     

     

    A hugely positive statement on the future also needs to be made, the desire for a competitive league, the building of bridges with other clubs in Scotland to enhance chances of European progress for all, lets look at financially spreading the wealth from income streams, lets make the top league a financially viable, attractive, and progressive competition, lets make it for all the family to attend without fear.

     

     

    Kill sectarianism, racisim, and bigotry stone dead by tightening the rules and appointing an independant group to report from every game, lets get the rules so black and white in the SPL that when newco re-appear they so much as break wind in the wrong direction they get hammered, the SFA won’t do this but the SPL can, Celtic are in a position to drive this forward. We need to stop looking inward and look outward.

     

     

    Some ideas off the top of my head, give the supporters a chance to be involved in the running of the game instead of just fleecing them at every opportunity, launch a SPL newspaper once a week with an editiorial for each SPL team, supporters sections, previews, exclusives, each team to have equal footing and coverage, sell 100000 a week at a pound a pop and you start making £5.2 million a year without including any advertising income, knock on effect of killing the MSM even more. Create a club sponsored supporters league to run in parallel with the SPL, bring the supporters closer to the game.

     

     

    I have a foot in two camps at the moment, one wants Celtic to just crush newco, the other wants to improve the Scottish game, grasp the opportunity, and move forward leaving the bottom feeders behind.

  10. Ordered black away kit 7weeks

  11. jungle jam67 on

    so the wheels of justice run slowly

     

     

    21 weeks since the start of the 2 contract investigation started

     

     

    28 weeks since the final day of the FTT case by hmrc finished

     

     

    the only thing so far is 10 point deduction and euro ban which are both

     

    sanction for administration and liquidation.

     

    then the transfer ban was postponed till september.

     

     

    they have not even started the punishment phase yet

     

     

    get a move on and nail these cheats

    Who is charles green?

     

     

    The attention seeking owner of a daft wee division 3 club?

     

     

    An irrelevance.

  16. Lets see where charlie the clown gets the money to run ibrox and pay for his spl players in 3rd division and see how healthy his balance sheet is at end of the season. Just like mcmoist the guy is a classless ass wipe!!

    Had the same problem and I’m in Glasgow , 6 week wait until I got mine . Several emails from Celtic with conflicting info .

     

    Celtic need to get it sorted , supporters want to put money into the club but we don’t appear to be up to speed .

     

    Need a total revamp of clubs income streams , so we can maximise our potential .

    Wholeheartedly agree.

     

    Better standard of football and the chance to leave the social evil of bigotry behind

     

    through closer ties with other clubs and their supporters.

  20. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    Sevco are wearing hunnery not just because they are playing in front of hunnery but also because they can due to the taxman only being interested in chasing directors,they’ve been helped out like nobody else would’ve been.

     

     

    Shameful.

     

     

    Curfew and tag the lot of them.

  21. Can anyone access up to date posts on RTC, last post I can get is at 0320 am ?

     

     

    HH

  22. If Carlsberg did January transfer windows………………………………………………..

     

     

    Imagine we are double figures ahead and certain to win the SPL. So we look at SPL3, and if Sevco are top, we loan a parcel of players for free to the team which is second.

     

     

    All above board and a perfect GIRUY.

    Scottish Premier League

     

    Rangers target Shiels and Kafes

     

     

    B.B.C.say: carry on regardless.

  24. Anyone got any ideas how we can get ourselves relegated to Division 3 this week, so we can share in all those riches that they seem to have.

     

     

    Who needs the Champions League! Divison Three in Scotland is were it is at!!

  25. Just spat my coffee everwhere! From SSN, I want him there for 25 years as well!

     

     

    ‘Charles Green is keen to keep Ally McCoist at Rangers for the next 25 years, with the Gers boss to be offered a new contract and a shareholding in the club.’

  26. There goes Green’s claim for compensation against players who have left…

     

     

    “I’m hopeful but I’m realistic enough to know there is an opportunity for one or two to dive out of the window. I hope that won’t be the case but I’m not daft.”

    #######

     

     

    The hope is that the FTT tribunal judgement is so devastating in its detailed exposition of the huns wrongdoing that the SPL and the SFA have to be seen to do something, if only to try to salvage their own reputations.

     

     

    Stripping of titles of oldco and an unequivocal statement that the newco huns are a new club would be about the best we could hope for.
