You read the Scottish Government’s response last week when a Glasgow business won £40m worth of export income, shared with others in their sector from Dingwall to Kilmarnock? Celtic’s Champions League success this month has been phenomenal economic news for Glasgow in particular, and Scotland in general, but it would break the Scottish Government scarcely concealed agenda towards Celtic for them to acknowledge the contribution to our economy.
Instead they peddle some hoary old trash in attempting to defend their thoroughly discredited Offensive Behaviour’ Act, which sought to “equalise” supporters behaving lawfully with those behaving in a sectarian manner.
The Government, which for years placed great political capital into respecting the will of the Scottish Parliament, suddenly decided Parliament’s voice could be ignored by Government, when the chamber voted to repeal the Act in November.
It would choke these people to acknowledge Celtic’s contribution to the country’s economic welfare. They want your votes, they don’t want to listen to you, or Parliament, or any other body who may represent you, unless you conform to a cultish utopian vision.
We live in the age where governments across the globe bang the Bogeyman Drum, while indulging in crass selective seeing and hearing. This Tartan-Peronist outfit would be wise not to cherry-pick how they tackle Celtic supporters, or our club.

Simple rule. If you dish it out, you better be prepared to get it back.
Id say thats fair.

I know what the board is all about, you can trust me on that believe it or not, I don’t give a feck, but I do, I have told you what I think of them, I told you also that I think Pedro is a top class board member, albeit he doesn’t always do what I would like, but the rest are parasites, tell me I am wrong.
CCE,
nowhere does clausit mean clown…..unless it’s a personal reference ;-))

The reports I have heard came from Japan.
Apparently they warned their Northern citizens to take precautions over an incoming missile.
That may well be the Rubicon as far as the Japanese are concerned .
Donald Trump passed over North Korea, broke into three pieces and fell into the sea….
I wish!

Together again
on a night of cold harshness on cqn such tenderness brings a timely reminder of the beauty of the human spirit
I only hope he lets him down gently when he tells him it’s only a loan

SCOTT BROWN has posted a hilarious Instagram picture to welcome back Patrick Roberts – and the winger has pleaded with his team-mate to be added back into the Celtic group chat!
The Hoops skipper shared a laugh with team-mate Kieran Tierney and new signing Roberts after he sealed a season-long loan move back to Parkhead.
Celtic40Me, won’t be a loan for long.
PL is on it.

I thought about what you posted earlier. I would reply by saying, what would happen if everybody decided that ‘principles’ were not worth fighting for. What kind of world would we be living in?. Some horrific Hobbesian nightmare where violence is the only determining factor? I didnt study and research for years on end, to suddenly throw my principles in the trash. If we dont have people standing on principle, we have nothing.

Just the ” 1984 ” style irony of Pravda.
The Soviet Union ended because Gorbachev recognised the truth .
Reagan had priced USSR out of the market with the star wars myth .
Gorbachev. A true hero of the Soviet Union.
All good with me , pal.
Hope the same for yourself .
I love a grenade and tin helmet noo and again. But FFS Kim gee us peace.
