Kilmarnock don’t enjoy visits to Celtic Park, winning only once there since 1955, but seldom have they been on the receiving end of such a humiliating result from such a young and inexperienced Celtic team. You and I have seen these games – especially in the League Cup – go wrong so many times in recent seasons: Morton, Falkirk and Partick, to name just three.
What we have at the club now is energy and purpose that makes even our experiments seem potent. Brendan Rodgers must have been delighted at what he got from his players.
For some, like Leigh Griffiths, it was another hour nearer full fitness. These minutes are crucial in preparation for the almighty test of the season against Astana at Celtic Park one week from today.
Really pleased Roy Aitken will be around Celtic Park more often in future in his new role as Club Ambassador. Roy was a huge figure at Celtic in the 70s and 80s, but there’s at least one generation since who know little about him.

No work tomorrow so a binge on catch up TV on the cards.

Will do.
On her last visit here, I took my daughter down the shore to meet a photographer she follows on the ‘net.
She was underwhelmed and I told her you shouldn’t meet your heroes in the flesh.
Sometimes the anticipation exceeds the realization.

I once met Bobby Lennox and got his autograph outside Mass in Saltcoats. I was 5.
He asked me my name, I told him Garry. He said that was his son’s name and signed my paper to Gary, one R. Was devastated my hero spelt my name wrong. :)
BBC Newsline n.I. late edition…..
Big Arlene attends a weans fitba day for Rainjurs kids, bomber Broon is there and, Arlene wears a huns scarf metal pin on badge – conspiracy theory – bomber Broon will return to ibrokes with a big brown bag full of, ‘dark money’ to, help cutey Pedro, the surprise guy, to launch an assault on cutey bhoy Brendan’s Invincibles.
Also,….
A new, cross-community group has been formed, it consists of, floot bawn members and, Irish dancers and it’ll be called – The Hounds of Ulster. Be good if it works.
Peace always.
Don’t let the plastic rebels fae the back of the Parkheid bus, piss all over peace in Ireland.
Read OWEN’s posts from earlier, if ye canny stand me.
Guid luck.
Feed The Bear, JUNGLE Hero all the best.
…..off-oot.
Good morning CQN from a cool, dry and sunny East Devon.
THEM- 6…..CELTIC – 27 ..easy !
Ranjurs – 6 Dunfer…( pick me up….cos Im lying doo ) mline _ 0…………There Must have been SEVEN penalties ?
I just love the auld Celtic.
Thank you God for me being a good looking youngish, auld Tim !
I wouldnt want it any other way.
AFF OOT !
LOL
See that Brendan fella……if he disnae sign that Paddy Roberts pronto, I might have to give Brendan a wee phone call, and advise him that my boots are for hire, at a very reasonable rate……cos its Celtic.
I love being a Jungle Jim.
HH
Im not as fast as I used to be….but I am still lethal in front of goal ………from a yard oot !
On a Celtic serious note……….Roy Aitken is and will be remembered for many of his wonderful displays wearing the Hoops, and rightly so…….my own favourite BEAR moment was obviously in the 4-2 game in 1979……but especially for you youngsters….just watch Roy Aitkens brilliant role in the 1985 Cup Final….when the big yin chased a lost cause, and delivered a very sweet cross which Frankie MacGarvey bulleted home for the winner….Roy at his best.
HH
I loved wee Frankie…Squiddly Diddly…Davie Hay was wrong to sell Frankie right after that 1985 Cup Final…Frankie had another 5 years in him.
That is my only unhappiness when I talk about Davie Hay….the ” quiet assassin”…what a player Davie Bhoy was, and I sometimes think he’s overlooked by some ?
maybe not.

Was that you who posted as “Gerry McNee” last night? I know it wasn’t the real Gerry NcNee as the post didnt a) mention Jimmy McGrory’s medal at any point; b) feature an attack on the song, the Fields of Athenry; and c) double as a love letter to Brian Laudrup.
Big Jimmy.
Two fav Big Roy moments for me.
His two goals at Ibrox in a 2 each game. They have there scarves up singing UDA all the way etc, Big Roy buries one, scarves down quick as a flash, just magic.
The other one was the cup final when we beat them 1.0 We have a free kick in the dying seconds on the touchline at the Celtic/Kings Park end. Big Roy takes the free kick and boots it as,hard as he can into the Celtic end, to allow us to regroup and run the clock down. Just magic again.
As I said yesterday, I’m delighted he’s now an ambassador for the club and I think it’s appropriate.
Hail Hail
Following on from Catman’s post that hopefully one in this week.
Hearing that if Citeh agree, deal for Paddy could be completed within 48 hours, in time for Astana.
Got to run, work.
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Lennybhoy.
Thank you.

Has the corporate section been banned yet?
MWD
Moonbeams.
It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds.
Most of us know that there are some shady people who frequent hospitality and I don’t just include Celtic in that.
A hail Hail
40 years ago today King Kenny broke my heart – can still remember where I was at the time I heard the sad news.
Huns telling porkies, nawwww! Yer kidden.
Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy insists Martyn Waghorn cost nowhere near the £1million fee reported in the Scottish media. The veteran manager called the signing of the Rangers striker “a snip” and hailed his arrival at Portman Road. (Daily Record

From yesterday and you said you got a description of me from HT but couldn’t recognise me:
Never had the pleasure of meeting HT so I suspect he’s given you a description of Tommy Twists Tommy Turns, another horsey bhoy!
No wonder you couldn’t see me. You’ve been looking for a wee plain looking fella instead of the tall dark good looking bhoy.
Well, once dark headed, more err….distinguished these days…..

Remember it well £440k – we was done.
My mate named his black Labrador puppy after the King – he showed me the young pup for the first time sleeping in an Adidas Samba box.
Kenny a great dug.
Hamilton Tim raises a very valid question.
Two ‘incidents’ happened inside the ground, one in the Green Brigade section, and one in the Hospitality Brigade section.
The incident in hospitality was a far more serious incident than a cartoon banner in 111.
Before we got to the bottom of the banner issue in 111, the entire GB section were banned.
Before we get to the bottom of the issue in hospitality, does the same apply?

Roberts is going to cost Celtic around £4m for one season between loan fee and wages. Makes little sense, sadly. My guess is that the negotiation on that will go the wire. Lawwell has everything to gain by delaying and getting this down if he can. Not sure what pressure he’s getting from Brendan re Astana game. Little I imagine as Forrest was preferred in Europe anyway, better at tracking back, Paddy the impact sub but Rogic may provide that. Then post qualification for CL or Europa work with a more strategic budget. Rodgers will know if he forces it he’ll probably win but pretty much uses this year’s budget.

Just ***k*n sign him :)

Maybe the analogy would be more pertinent were it the case that the Hospitality Brigade had a History of `unacceptable` behaviour.
I am a big fan of the GB even though I sometimes think the rest of us leave it up to them to offer support for our team. I would like GB`s all over the ground.

Not sure if there is any validity to the £4 million for a season claim. Seems a tad expensive for one season as, as you say, we have James Forrest there already and Jonny Hayes as back-up.
JJ
There may be a significant case to be made that no place should be able to declare itself a politics free zone. However the idea that an organised and persistent flouting of rules, as they stand, should be treated the same as a lone score settling is preposterous. It weakens the argument and makes those who support it look stupid.
As im a lazy blighter these days and havent read back was there any news on Jules Christ Kouassi Eboue’s injury ?
Thanks to Lennybhoy and belatedly to Catman for updates, bit of positive transfer news is always welcome.
Still miffed as to why BR said he’d probably try for a CB at the end of last season but now thats changed, hopefully this is down to young Ajer stepping up to the plate.
Good post(s) from Owen last night.
When was Catmans post?
THETIMREAPER
Yesterday I think.
It was short and said “hearing one in by end of week”.
No names.

===================================
I think the point is that it is folly to punish an entire section.
Celtic know who the Green Brigade are, organisers and all.
There was no need to punish nearly 1000 people, just as it would have been ridiculous to ban every hospitality punter.

A lot of the discussion is around the £4m number with no return to Celtic – other than having a fantastic entertaining player for a year of course. Not sure how accurate the £4m is – I read the loan fee was £2.75m or thereabouts. Either way, it’s a lot to pay for a player for 12 months loan. I suspect that you are correct that PL will attempt to convince that the deal only makes sense if PR becomes a Celtic player rather than an loan. Think we’d all prefer that! :-))
Wife wants me to do the garden but there are too many HUNeysuckles, HydRANGERS and GERaniums for my liking. Puts me right aff. Don’t think I’ll bother. :-))
