Celtic hammered Newco 5-1 home and away last season, knocked them out both cups, won one other game and conceded a late equaliser, allowing Newco their only moment of (cough) glory last season.
We finished 39 points ahead of Newco (who were 33 points from bottom). As we set off for the summer, glowing after the first invincible treble in history, chairman of Newco, that complete muppet Dave King, told the assembled media, “In footballing terms I don’t think Celtic are as far ahead as they could have been – certainly with our new signings.”
The two 5-1 defeats now look like Python’s Black Knight losing his legs one at a time, but protesting they were little more than flesh wounds. Except Python was a parody, this guy is being serious!
So, Brendan, Peter, Dermot, get the finger out. These people don’t believe 5-1 is a substantial enough winning margin. When we pitch up at Ibrox on the weekend of 23/24 September, ‘go Medieval on their ass’ to borrow from Quentin.
Take five minutes to update yourself on The Road to Lisbon cyclists, who traveled from Celtic Park to Estadio Nacional last month.
This has been a phenomenal and inspiring effort by a group of Celtic fans – and so many donors. What a great thing to be a part of.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 24TH JUNE 2017 6:01 AM
Bobby.
The point.
Theresa May was for days vilified on these pages after the tragedy of Grenfell Towers.
Somehow the blame was slated home to her personally. And to the Tory party because the local council was Tory.
Ludicrous.
In fact , subsequently a Grenfell residents association described the leftist protesters as ” opportunists.” .
Now , lets just see if the level of outrage on CQN directed at the Labour Council of Camden matches that directed at Theresa May and the Tories.
No chance.
Leigh Griffiths – “Playing against Linfield in Belfast without any Celtic fans doesn’t worry me – it can;t be worse than Tynecastle.”
Leigh, the Celtic support havent forgotten your comments about us immigrants. Just shut up and score more or else we’ll sell you to Sevco.

How many deaths did the ‘leftist’ protesters; cause?
MACJAY1 FOR NEIL LENNON on 24TH JUNE 2017 6:17 AM
Would you give us ethnic Irish some peace about your beloved Tory Party. None of us have a monopoly on grief and all but none knows the Tories hatred of immigrants.
If you cant share in our disgust re the treatment of non white immigrants present day, try empathise in our past grieving re our own dead yesterday.

My friends in Celtic,
It is very difficult to ignore safety issues. The club have refused to handle tickets on these grounds. Personally I think we are giving in to dinosaurs, but I completely understand the club’s viewpoint.
Subsequently I now think the only logical step is to play the match behind closed doors, with no supporters in attendance. This will save police resources and equally importantly demonstrate to the dinosaurs that their continued bigotry in 2017 has consequences in the wider world.
Hail, Hail.

“Westofscotlanditis” is a disease that predominately afflicts males from Glasgow and its surrounds.
The classic symptoms are a propensity to take an extreme position on any given topic – including (or even especially) one that you actually know nothing about – and then defend that position vigorously and irrationally. Sufferers generally shout very loudly and/or insist that they always get the last word.
Whenever challenged, secondary symptoms such as “whataboutery” or “shiftingthegoalposts” are usually displayed.
Although the affliction originates in Glasgow, it has been noted that moving to warmer climes (particularly Australia) can increase its intensity.
One curious phenomenon is that although a sufferer himself may have no physical discomfort, those around him can suffer from a severe pain in the @rse.
Who are we signing today then? Any whispers?
Thanks all for the good wishes for our upcoming nuptials.
BT – you’re “het” for looking after HT today remember I want him home in one piece!
Hope you all have a great day.
Greetings from Oz
We could always ask Linfield to play the tie on a Sunday?

Latest nonesense……..
Celtic are keen on wrapping up a deal for Leeds United defender Charlie Taylor.
The Sun (24/6 page 64) report Brendan Rodgers wants a deal done for Taylor before they play their Champions League qualifiers next month.
The left-back is currently on the lookout for a new club and Celtic are hopeful of beating Burnley and West Brom to a deal.
Leeds are expecting to lose Taylor, with the defender’s contract set to expire at the end of this month.
Yet Leeds would be entitled to substantial compensation if he signs for an English club as he came through the academy and could see them receive upwards of £5 million, with the Sun’s report suggesting even £10 Millon.
The problem is that as Celtic are in Scotland, they would not be required to pay a big compensation fee.
Instead they could pay just one-tenth of the fee Leeds would have got, leaving them with less than £1 million.
Celtic signed Fulham’s Moussa Dembele in the same way last summer.
Leeds have their own transfer targets to acquire and would likely have been factoring in receiving a healthy fee for Taylor.
If the left-back moves to Celtic then it would be among the worst case scenarios and a final kick in the teeth for the Whites from a player who refused to play for the club on the final game of the season.
I hope HT and the Bhoys all have a grand ole day in the toon today.HH
p.s good luck to the Minx having to look at that eejit tonight/morra morn.:O) xx
Just wondering how many so-called supporters will be champing at the bit to secure tickets for a game against La Fiorita should they get through. Thereagain running about the streets of San Marino in mid July in yer stone island khaki parka, yer face mask bandana with yer hood up to protect you from the summer sun while firing off yer imaginary kalashnikov just doesn’t hold the same appeal does it ?

Seemingly it’s the best place to be when rubbish acts are on. It’s the perfect time for Glastonbury to indulge in their alternative entertainment for which they are No1.

That is their reason for being. They want the wider world to pay attention to them. That is why all summer long they assert their right to march where they want and where they want, regardless of whom the offend.
If it was,t so repugnant, it would have aspects of an attention seeking spoiled child about it.
MACJAY1,
It wasn’t meant to be funny, somewhat like yourself.
No need to reply old bean as I’ll be going back to my usual and scrolling past your input.
