I watched Kilmarnock previous home game against Inverness, as shambolic a defensive performance as I have seen in the SPL. Shipping six goals against the team who were, and remain, bottom of the league is the kind of result that can decimate team morale, but St Johnstone’s result at Ibrox last week offered some encouragement that you can get at this this Rangers team.
It’s worth pointing out a few things. Rangers are still four points clear at the top of the league, if we were in that position we would rightly be delighted and confident. Pascali’s goal for Kilmarnock was also only their second goal conceded in eight SPL away games and only their seventh overall in 16 games – getting on for half a season. By comparison, Celtic have conceded 14 goals, including three at Kilmarnock.
While that defensive record is commendable, the loss of Steven Naismith leaves them disproportionately dependent on Nikica Jelavic to maintain their goal-scoring threat, and Jelavic is not known for season-long durability.
When news came through that Sone Aluko had paid his transfer fee to become a Rangers player few of us expected him to make as quick an impact on the league table as he has, single-handedly playing three Kilmarnock players onside at the goal. This is an unfortunate start to the player’s Rangers career but Rangers fans have a reputation for scapegoating (among other things). For some, Aluko’s card is marked. He’ll need a lot of talent to recover from this one.

The first rule of glee club is that there is no glee club.
The second rule of glee club is “what gazebo”?

Say goodbye to your glee club membership.
Gazebo: (noun) Product of botched scientific experiment where DNA of Filip Sebo and Paul Gascoigne were merged in a Swiss collider. Akin to the jelly like substance featured on the ‘Flubber’ movie it was degraded and disposed. An unstable compound, badly missed its target.
On this business of explaininng the ol’ Gazebo to the uninitiated:
The latest clarifications on the matter from BlantyreKev and Bournesoup suggest that the ‘Gazebo’ may be a bit like the The Bear Flag Restaurant from Cannery Row, described as, “A decent, clean, honest, old-fashioned sporting house where a man can take a glass of beer among friends … a sturdy, virtuous club,” where profanity and hard liquor are not allowed. The Bear Flag is respected (if not liked) by the residents of Cannery Row for the simple fact that many of them depend on it. When a sickness spreads through Cannery Row, it is the girls of the Bear Flag who go delivering soup and company to the sick while they recuperate, and on the list of generous donors to local charities or events, the Bear Flag is always at the top.”
No?

Special Branch are also desperate to unpick the secrets of the ole Gazebo.
To prevent this information falling into the wrong hands half the location has been tattooed onto Goldstar10, and the other half onto ole Eurochamps.
Given the high winds over the weekend I would be utterly astonished if the Gazebo remains where it was last seen on Saturday evening.
Seeing that picture of the girls in the Gazebo reminded me. Celtic socks are on sale in The Celtic Shop at Parkhead for £1.

According to the latest RTC blog that fine, upstanding citizen Mr C Whyte has been deducted PAYE etc from employees wages but none of this has been passed to the taxman. None. Since May. What an entrepreneur.
…………….
By doing that by my reckoning he only actually find cash for the wages every 2 out of 3 months.
The mans a genius right enough!*
* However if somebody comes looking for the tax you’re a botton!!!

‘Special Branch are also desperate to unpick the secrets of the ole Gazebo.’
That’s because they’re undercover cops.
Good Morning to the Celtic Family from a dull wet Central Scotland. Well after a very satisfying week-end I notice that the four point gap is being played down in the media why does that not surprise me?If we win on Wednesday night I expect the media to go into total break down they are so anti Celtic and everthing we stand for what a bigoted country and the SNP want to pass legislation which will make it even more so it would be funny if it wasnt so serious.Hl.H.
The special branch officers yet to uncover the secrets of the Gazebo have been put on garden leave.
If Special Branch crack the Gazebo Code, will thet be con tent?
Several CQNers in busy bar and Dontbrattbakkinanger walks in sporting his Movember look and a whispers ‘Gazebo’.

If your out there you have mail.
Our marquee signings should be conducted in the Gazebo.
Probably already mentioned but wasn`t Gary Hooper`s second (?) goal reminiscent of King Kenny? Back to defender, bum out, wee swivel …bang. Top class goal.

Winter Warmers for sale in Rangers News:
“Now is the winter of our discount tent”
Sone Aluko has just tweeted,’im a celebrity get me out of here’..critter thought he was in the jungle..suppose looking at Broadfoot you would get confused..he may put hinself on Ebay..
Maybe he will get out the jungle quicker than the box…
The Killie skipper said: “I thought I was 12 yards offside and I put the ball in the net for fun. Then I noticed Aluko was still behind me and the goal was going to stand. I’m happy Rangers signed him because I only scored for a laugh, or so I thought.”
Captain Mainwaring still shouting “Don’t Panic!”

He thought wearing thong kit yesterday was a bushtucker trail..he searched the dressing room,and coundn’t find a ‘star’.
