The last two teams out of the pots for today’s Europa League draw left to former European Champions. Celtic will face Inter Milan, who they have met twice before in European competition. The teams faced in the European Cup Final in 1967, when Celtic won the tournament, and again in the European Cup Semi-final in 1972, when Inter progressed on penalties after two 0-0 draws.
It’s not the draw I would have handpicked but it’s a great draw from many perspectives. Inter will bring genuinely tier-one talent to Celtic Park, and provide Ronny Deila and the squad with an invaluable chance to test their progress.
The games will take place a few weeks before the 50th anniversary of Jock Stein becoming Celtic manager and set his team on the road to dismantling La Grande Inter. History is made of great stories and no sporting event in history has been so infused by story telling than the first meeting between these clubs.
If all these stories teach us anything it’s to fear no one. Bring it on.
Among many great features, we have an interview with Dixie Deans in the 2015 CQN Annual, see above, who among many things, discusses “that penalty”. Still time to order yours for Christmas.
You can also order the CQN Annual and DVD bundle here. It’s a great offer, check it out – oh, and there’s tons of photos, fresh stories and comment on the first time Inter faced the green and white hoops.

Shebeen were here last night and it was a real West of Scotland takeover in Doire.
Fantastic night it was.
They know how to get the place rocking.
Brilliant it was and great to see them here.
Weather not too bad.Cold, but not freezing.

Re that Union of Fuds statement…
Love their reference to McCoist salary being agreed “pre-administration”.
They have a serious issue with that L word, don’t they…..
Say it lads…..you know you want to….
Just to start with, do it in 2 parts which makes it much easier.
Say LIQUID
Then wait a few seconds….or count silently to 3, whichever is easiest….
Now say ATION…..Sort of like Nation but without the N.
Keep doing this but reduce the time gap between the 2 words, until there is no actual gap.
LIQUIDATION.
Then keep saying it faster and faster until yer heid birls.
When yer heid stops birling that’s when reality kicks in and you start to feel better.

Donald Findlay led the way.
The total trumpets will eventually realise. So many are in influential positions as well. :))
tully57,
They won’t hear a word of it.
The club/company bollocks was concocted and they have the BBC, SFA, and Sky Sports flying the same club banner for them.
It looks likely that Sevco are doomed.There will be another version of the toerags and you can bet your bottom dollar this pish will be used again and they will still be referred to as Rangers.

Correct. It does not matter what happens. Administration, liquidation, extermination. Somebody will start up another new club, call it Rangers and they’ll all pretend it’s the same club. Self delusion. They love it.

Thanks for comments bhoys.
They are snookered with a capital F.
And I’m away to my kip with that comforting thought in my non-birling heid.

If they went for a whole new club and had a stadium of say 28000, they would definitely become the 2nd best team in Scotland after a while because they would have ~ 10,000 more supporters than the next best Team.
A very sensible approach, IMO. :))))))))

Watched Inter beat Chievo tonight and i was impressed i believe they will provide formidable opposition.
so fat Sally had a 125k per year expense allowance (in addition to his 750k stipend) – poor Greggs are gonna miss that one
Off topic but i just finished Russell Brand’s book “Revolution”and i must say I remember Russell Brand appearing on MTV as a rather mad out there VJ and i liked him a lot(Partyzone i believe).I subsequently changed my opinion of him during what i guess was his drug fuelled rise through stardom when i frankly thought he was a bit of an arse.but recently i have watched a lot of his TREWS channel on Youtube and find myself agreeing with many of his sentiments so much so that i read his book and found it both entertaining and inciteful.I watched his war on drugs programme this evening and once again found myself in total agreement with him in that drugs should be legalised as i believe that in this country as a whole we bury our heads in the sand over the drug problem hoping it will somehow go away.Now i have never took drugs and hopefully never will but i came from Easterhouse then Milton and i could easily have got a hold of drugs anytime i wanted to.I just feel that by making drugs legal you would effectively get rid of druglords and the havoc they cause and if people could buy drugs legally they would be much safer instead of being mixxed by undesirables in God knows where.I know unfortunately people would still take chemical reactions to legal drugs but im sure it would be safer.
Evening all. Still reading back. Thought I’d say hi and share a wee post that made me and maybe a few other lost souls currently living in far off lands chuckle.
Reasons I love CQN and miss the old country and Greggs the Baker but not as much as some number 85.
85. Memories of walking out or into Queen St Station when I was a kid. Summed up with a nice wee shout from the man below today. “Eeeeeeevnin times”. Wanted that job as a kid, so bad. “I can do that I thought” in a Yosser type fashion.
Later in life The Times shout usually meant 37p and a trip to the bookies in the wee tunnel onto Buchanan that existed under various guises over the years I believe. Lost a packet man. Oh well. Still miss ma coupons. I see you folks posting about coupons and I look online for sites again. They make you think it’s virtual money and 2 months later you’re on the street corners in Kentucky quivering and signing songs nobody knows.
Sorry, wrong blog.
The joys. The small things. The singing of songs and watching your team.
Cheers roy croppie! Few of your posts struck a chord tonight. Don’t worry, not a curtain cord, I’ll be here tomorrow.

He’s a charlatan.
Cant imagine Sally welcoming us back from Warsaw this year at the airport…..unless there is a Greggs there
Hoop dog,
One can understand why young girls and students adore Russell, but grown men?
His revolutionary rhetoric is a little excruciating but he is a wonderful capitalist.
Anybody who manages to plough their way through his crap book should be given the Morrissey autobiography as a reward/punishment.

Give them time, first wee steps are hardest for the wains and the immature of step and unguided walk and thought. It’s like the last person in the audience to see the sleight of hand of the fading old magician.

To continue your Morrissey mate, Brand is indeed a pretender to the throne of the last of the true and real international play boys. Not a spokesperson for anyone.
#muppet
Brand is like the child who stuck it’s hand in the fire and found out that it was not a good idea.
His solution?
Don’t light a fire.
Majority has it.
Brand isnae to be trusted.
Craig Gordon on the other hand should be trusted.
125,000 in non-receiptable (?) expenses sounds like another tax dodge to me.
I guess the next liquidation (?) would see the Super Ally problem solved.
MNCELT
Correct. It works out around £250k less tax.
He saves £125k and the clumpany saves around £30k in Nat Ins.
Time for a wee chat from Hector.

It has been one of the quirks of my genome that I have had a forensic interest in how we emerged from the primordial swamp and in a burst of creative genius created indestructible monuments to our unrivalled intellect such as strictly come dancing, x-factor and the jeremy kyle show.
Sadly there is an even worse, darker, more dangerous and malevolent dimension to our universe, one that is inhabited by those weird and twisted creatures which evolution has decided are not fit to flourish in the green and pleasant sunlit vales of life’s magnificent symphony.
I refer of course to Yahoo’s response blog and bloggers to stories that have gripped the world’s conscience.
However even in this suppurating labarynth the seeds of salvation can be found.
Today, like Theseus in pursuit of the minotaur, I forsook my own safety and ventured into that place that possibly exists in some shadowy corner of all our psyches and found in response to the Ally McCoist story two absolute shining gems that I have copied for posterity……have a look at the ‘thumbs-up’ and ‘thumbs-down’ counts.
Hallellujah….praise the lord……or in the words of that modern day Wittgenstein TDonnelly67……GIRFUT!!!

My Aussie brother-in-law told me years ago about stubby-holders. An invention of utter brilliance.
At that time,we still relied on a cold-shelf to chill bottled beer in pubs. Problem being,it was designed to chill beer from the bottom up!
I assume yer having a smashing time over there?

Love it! You have to love different commercials around the world. More so with quality inventions. Still get a kick from local redneck TV spots over here.
Bubba and his son and law that have an iPhone and hacked copy of Final Cut make car dealer adverts.
Linwood Rangers ? That was Paul Lamberts first team.
