We have had games which were hugely important to the club, and to our new manager, some which were ‘must win’ games, which were ultimately lost, but tomorrow’s League Cup tie against Hearts is a must win game for different reasons.
A year ago we lost in this competition to one of the worst teams to win at Celtic Park in the last half century, possibly longer, but thus Hearts side are a Premiership team in all but name and come with the weight of their history behind them to fell Scottish football’s last superpower.
I’ve seen Hearts win at Celtic Park before, there is one particular painful memory as they taunted us while drawing, but Ronny and his new recruits should know, this game ranks above all league matches in order of importance.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing (as the man who swallowed his glass eye once told me) but was just thinking back to this time last week when if you’d offered me a draw in our 2 upcoming games I’m pretty certain I’d have accepted that.
Things aint quite so bad you know ;-)
If we don’t get the correct result tomorrow evening, will it be a case of Deila or no Deila.

They are button pressers. Vague, indistinguishable, fifth column fire starters.
Happy in the malice they conjure.
That by no means means you should be inured to their jibes, but it fuels their desires.
Faceless provocateurs – wee onanistic cyber weans.
Leave them alone.
You’ll be a better man for releasing their sting.
I write this because I remember well the post about your Father. It was as beautiful as any man could write about their Father.
KTF!

Hoi,
Leave Ziggy alone, Please -:)

Just been on the phone to the Boss. She’s glad the ribs have healed, that way you’ll feel the next dunt even more :-)
GG….or we could ask the bonus brigade to chip in ….like thats gonna happen…just think we could do a bit more mate…i want my BERGET….
Croppyboy is absolutely right, politicians should be judged on their records, sure we can all recall how affluent the people of shettleston were when they had a Labour administration to look after their needs, how those people have suffered since the nats came to power eh? Take yir blinkers aff your beloved labour party took the support of their historic supporters for granted and gave them nothing back in the past 20 years.

See you’re back at work mhate…..if I was yir gaffer I’d ban yir fag break…..try and make up
for all that time off.
RIP JD
My heartfelt sympathies to Liz and family. A good and decent man who will be sorely missed. My Dad also lost his close friend of 50 years today and was as upset as you might expect.
As far as the football end of things goes, Paul will confirm that one story my Dad was absolutely insistent on getting published was about JD. He was subject to criticism about sometimes being slow or lazy. What nobody knew at the time is that he was told early in his career about the vascular problems (which eventually took his life) which meant that he had severely restricted bloodflow to his legs. The fact he achieved everything he did while suffering from this condition was nothing short of miraculous. If he had not managed to keep it quiet his career would have been over.
I’m heartbroken for Dad today. I’m 44 so I can’t imagine losing a friend of 50 years. JD was also my Godfather. Gutted for his whole family but glad he’s not suffering any more.
My friends in Celtic,
Ref the Living Wage at CP:-
I notice the costing figures on here range from £120k to £500k pa. I am surprised at this figure as I had imagined that all security, catering, cleaning, stewards etc. would be contracted out.
I genuinely do not know the numbers. I also do not know if by raising the minimum rate to the Living wage would result in any persons being adversely affected in benefits.
I do believe that any person who gets up for work deserves a living wage.
HH.
PS : This also applies to many limited status contractors in industry who pay themselves the minimum wage.
Every Celtic goal v The Dead Huns from the swinging 60s…..
Enjoy……..
They had to be good or the Masons in the Black would disallow most of these

Thank you for that, I appreciate your kind words.
Genuinely, I’m not upset by the twangs that emanate from respective Rubber Nuts.
I find that he’d make reference to what that post contained to be sinister, especially the detail in his previous reference.
Daily Mail, xenophobia, barely disguised racism. Should I polish my jackboots?
Hibees 2-0 up against Ross County
Domininique Malonga with both goals.
Another cheesy joke now……guess they just need to dominate em a little longa and they are into the next round.
VP, aye, January was along time ago.
P.S. I’m the Gaffer -:))
Celtic pushing “Old Rivalry Renewed in League Cup” for the game tomorrow night against Hearts, will they use the same language if we ever meet the new team fae Govan and resort to “It wis the Sponsors who told us what to promote”?

Strange bedfellows right enough
How do you feel about some of the people on the yes side?
Harvie? Grossart? Sinclair( Aberdeen Asset Management EBTs )? Souter?
The same Orangemen were probably putting up SNP posters when Helen Liddle (Reilly) stood in Airdrie!
Tell me again who brought in the OB act?
Who gives Police Scotland their priorities?
We saw the difference between the way they handled the GB and Friday night’s stramash in the square!

Cheers mate. Appreciate it.

I keep asking ….who in Labour opposed the OB act and put their head above thd bunker ?
Nobody …..
Police Scotland …..nonsense
Labour = Tory
Gravy train = down south
You have Cooncillors up here. Labours piticians are down in London.
And now it looks like Cameron is about to ay Tango Man

You are undoubtedly correct -the Labour Party has become disconnected from its core support and deserves to be criticised
However that is also partly our fault as Labour voters for allowing others to take control of it and set agendas that had very little to do with most ordinary peoples lives
The great thing about the referendum campaign especially on the yes side was its efforts in getting people involved
Labour might very well deserve to lose power and seats however be careful about who you end up with
Alex Salmond ain’t no socialist – Tommy Sheridan ain’t no John MacClean -Jim Sillars probably is a latter day Erin Honecker !

You bet they will, SMSM have thousands ‘old firm ‘ features, specials, and promotions at the ready.
They are poised and we have a rookie manager, unguided ready with an ‘old firm’ quote to help, when he should have been versed in what to say.

Regards Still Game and apologies if you already know this but the stage is split into 3 sections i.e. the flat where Jack and Victor while their time away, The Clansman and Navir’s shop. There is also a large screen over each section so no one misses anything.

‘New laws to tackle religious hatred and bigotry related to football have been passed by the Scottish Parliament, despite a lack of opposition support.
The new Act aims to tackle the issue with jail terms of up to five years for behaviour which could cause public disorder in and around matches.
But Labour, the Tories, Lib Dems and the Scottish Greens said the bill was “railroaded” through by the SNP.
They said it was “bad law which risks doing more harm than good”.
Despite opposition, the majority SNP government’s Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Bill was passed by 64 votes to 57………………….’

Croppy Bhoy-
I had voted Labour all my life until the 2010 General Election. I will never vote for them again. The current party is a disgrace to the name. Some very brief examples:
– Graeme Morrice MP for Livingston attending the East of Scotland Orangemen`s Boyne celebrations calling on them to “save the Union” – a disgraceful play to the sectarian gallery and who knows what promises were made to the OO for their support?
– Prescott calling for the House of Lords to be abolished then accepting a peerage 6 years later;
– Labour decimating HMRC – an organisation that once had 92,000 members of staff will only have 52,000 come 2016. Labour started making people “surplus” in that department from 2005 onwards and the tax gap – the tax that should be collected but isn`t due to avoidance or evasion – now stands at £82 billion according to a report published today by the Public and Commercial Services Union.
https://usilive.org/coincidence-uk-tax-evasion-rises-to-82bn-after-government-sacks-half-hmrc-workforce/
Take a bow, Labour. You`ve done well by the ordinary working person over the last few years. Oh actually, you haven`t. But you did make the Queen purr. Nice.
Bada Bing…what happens if your seats are right at the edge of the stage. Are views good all around?
Croppybhoy
I agree with what you say there, but we’re between a rock and a hard place now, where are the socialists in Scottish Labour? Seriously I’m struggling to find one that I would now give my vote to, scottish labour were warned 10 years ago by Unison Health In Scotland they were losing ground votes hand over fist, Wee Jack mconnell chaired the meeting and laughed like a drain, it’ll never happen he said, it did and it’s a long way back for them now, if at all.
EDB- Thanks, i read that in one of the reviews.HH

What nonsense about Police Scotland?
Was it created by the SNP?
Has it centralised power and control in Edinburgh -away from local areas?
Has it spent millions on spying on, hassling, arresting, prosecuting ( often unsuccessfully ) -a group of football supporters whose major crime so far seems to be a few dodgy banners and doing GBH to a drum?
On Friday we had the unedifying sight of the FM banning certain newspapers from what was supposed to be a press conference where he made a statement and took no questions
This after it emerged that he had put pressure on the St Andrews University to change its public questioning of his policies
As I said he is like Minty after all -after a defeat all you get is deflection and a refusal to take his personal responsibility
