Friday is the 8th annual Celtic Quick News Open. The event, in which our guest speaker will be Livingston FC Manager and former Celt John Hughes, is completely booked up with a record 54 golfers. In addition to playing golf and having fun the CQN Open raises funds for good causes
Our good causes this year are The Haven Centre in Blantyre, Oscar Knox Neuroblastoma Appeal, Martin Chambers Ecuador Trust and Aberdour Primary School Parents’ Association.
We have already distributed over £2000 thanks to the sale of a Joseph Gormley painting back in April. We have two further fantastic paintings by Joseph; one of Scott Brown and one of Henrik Larsson. We also have a wonderful signed Neil Lennon print by the artist Gary Brandham.
The items are being raffled on ebay right now for the price of a £1 ticket. Winners will be drawn at the CQN Open on Friday night. There will be further raffles and auctions on Friday night with some excellent golfing and other sporting activities been donated by the Celtic family. Perhaps the pick is a limited edition canvas print of John Thomson, donated by the John Thomson Memorial Committee. There are only 22 of these in the entire world, representing the 22 years of John’s life.
This is a unique opportunity to win three great pieces of Celtic memorabilia, items which would normally be pushed out of the reach of most people at auction. Tickets cost £1, buy as many as you like, but participate. This is what your club is all about!
Many congratulations to Sean Fallon on his 90th birthday. I am delighted his autobiography is currently being written. Sean is our last remaining link to huge parts of our history. He was there, participating in the decision process, on so many of the things we now take for granted. The research, preparation and publicity surrounding his autobiography will be an opportunity to make sure younger generations get to appreciate the great resource he is. Let’s hope we get a CQN interview one day.
Sighs of relief will be heard around many dens of iniquity as Rangerstaxcase sails into the sunset; well done on excellent work. RTC’s “99% crap” has teased, entertained and informed for over a year. History is already being rewritten, but the inescapable fact is that Rangers diaspora were far better served by RTC than by the army of cheerleaders Sir David Murray or Craig Whyte depended upon to make their work possible.
The ‘buy lots of raffle tickets’ message if for you, b.t.w. so what are you waiting on, they are only £1 each!!!

T’internet has played a pivotal role in exposing deceit in Scottish football and helping speed up the liquidation of Rangers. Sites like CQN, RTC, Phil Mac Giolla Bhain and Paul McConville have led the way and brought about interest from people such as Alex Thomson and Mark Daly.
A random troll around the internet will take you to sites that hold opposing views and are representative of brown brogue philosophy.
When the ‘fight back’ is led by embittered people living in denial, unable to deal with reality, and submerged in conspiracy then there is only one outcome … defeat.
It’s a matter of public record that Rangers no longer exist – that is all there is to it, and no amount of denial will ever change that fact.

No excuses tomorrow night though every Celt should make their way to Celtic Park for the biggest game of the season.

From the Daily Ranger
CHARLES GREEN WANTS TO WIN HEARTS AND MINDS.
The The Rangers owner Charles Greens believes his new club is suffering from much of the crimes and problems of perception unfairly inherited from the oldco- that is why Green is determined to show the public that his club has changed for the better and still has the kudos to attract big celebrity names to back its new march to supremacy.
Green has organized a jamboree extravaganza at the Grand Masonic Hall in Bridgeton to raise the profile of the “Fighting Fund for the War to Come Campaign” or FFWCC for short. “It’s a bit like the old fighting fund except cranked up a few scales on the paranoic meter…its the FF with an apocalyptic spin…its all good fun.” said one insider.
The meeting is scheduled to take place sometime next month with various well-known faces mainly from the world of sports but also some from the show business industry. Those Green explicitly invited to the campaign party at Bridgeton next month are: Boris Onischenko, Ben Johnson, David Robertson, Michel Pollentier, Panama Lewis, Hansie Cronje, Tonya Harding, the East German Sports boss of the 1970s and ’80s Manfred Ewald and his medical director Manfred Hoeppner, as well as Mike Tyson and his monkey Nacho.
“I would have invited Al Capone…I have long admired his stance on the issue of tax avoidance…Lord Amherst, Oswald Mosley, the Duke of Cumberland, King Billy, John Knox and even Jack the Ripper…but alas that remains but a distant dream until the days of genetically cloned dinosaurs…like a Masonic Jurassic park with me playing Richard Attenborough’s part. But nonetheless I’m particularly looking forward to Ben Johnson being photographed in the The Rangers strip.” Said Green briefly between changing cars for another secret meeting with Scottish football officials. “We’ll get someone to play the part of Cronje…no one will notice…it will just be the same as the old Hansie Cronje” Green was reputed to have said after subsequently being told that Hansie Cronje had died in a plane crash.
Compere for the night will be Heidi Fleiss with Jeffrey Archer as guest speaker, Bernie Madoff and Nick Leeson will also be doing a comedy slapstick act and Willie Nelson singing duet with Dionne Warwick with various numbers themed on tax avoidance schemes. We can exclusively reveal that OJ Simpson is reputed to be the “secret” star guest, with a dramatization of Nixon Watergate scandal through the medium of shadow puppets.
Full details of ticket prices and official time and date of show will appear here.
Celtic v Helsinki live on Premier Sports tomorrow, as is away leg.
I would like to say that the MSM (aka Chuck greens apologists) had reached a new low with their backing of Charles Greens accusations, (but as much as I would like to say it, deep down I know fine well that they haven’t.) Oh how the MSM yearn for the good old days days when they could simply print a picture of Lenny and have the hun alsatians straining at their leash. Or was it UVF commanders, I cant recall.
The MSM are currently fostering/sponsoring an approach of confusion, printing lies one day and contradicting the same lies the next day, with fresh lies.
When ally claims that rangers were relegated does no one in the press think to tell him that oldco were so successful that they were never relegated.
“A permanent Embarrassment and an occasional disgrace.”
In this whole bankruptcy affair I have to believe that the huns (or whatever they are calling themselves nowadays) have exceeded their own exceptionally low standards, but it seems that the MSM can’t bring themselves to admit it.
“No one likes us” they cry, probably the only thing they got right in this current fiasco.
I seem to remember Barry Ferguson & Alan Macgregor getting the “old heave ho” out of the Scotland international team for making gestures to the Press of a similar magnitude that Charles Green Made at Brechin, except the ex hun players did not have the tenacity to follow it up with “everyones a bigot except us” routine. Methinks Mr Green does not understand oldcos history very well. But we can always be more positive and think that maybe sevco 1690 will be a more balanced “institution”. Aye Right so they wull!
But the latest “sleight of hand” might be the SFA/SFL/SPL manoeuvring to “reform” the league with a SPL2 proposal and the the huns being invited along.
The likes of RTC, Phil and CQN were on hand to uncover and highlight the skulduggery, (our MSM have already demonstrated that they are not they to uncover these issues) Either that Ian Black is thicker we already thought, and I’m not sure that is humanly possible.
The removal or Regan, Doncaster and Ogilvie must follow quickly, because despite protestations to the contrary from sevco fans, these folks have compromised themselves enough already, for me to believe that the re instatement of newco into the SPL is their aim.
Has anyone had any trouble viewing messages in either IE or Firefox when they are not logged in? I am pressing F5 to refresh screen but it just sticks (in this instance) at the top of Page 2. When I log in I see all comments.
But Longmuir, who travelled to Brechin for Rangers’ first outing in the Ramsdens Cup on Sunday, believes that the newco club could take even longer than the minimum three years to play their way back to the top.
Addressing reconstruction claims, he said: ‘I would find that difficult to foresee under present circumstances.
‘And I think they could be with us a lot longer than three years, judging by what I saw at Brechin.
‘They’ll need to make sure they’re up to the challenge our clubs are going to set them. On the park, it’s not just going to be a waltz through the leagues.
‘You have to be realistic. They have a superb squad, even depleted as they are at the moment. It’ll be a great challenge for our clubs to step up to the plate and see how they compete.
Longmuir does not seem to have been informed about the imminent reconstruction plans or is trying to put people off the scent

Lennon’s passion 12.20
Re Bangura
One mans ‘dozen good runs’ is another man’s ‘runs about a lot to no great effect’
———————————-
He came on last season against St Johnstone made a great run off the defender. Joe Ledley took a shot and hit a tractor,simple pass was all that was needed. Already posted but our midfield lack the killer pass. Plenty of grit and running. Paddy and wee twix has an eye for a pass but not many more.

Not a bother mate if you change your mind and decide that crampons don’t suit you, let me know :-)

cheers for the ‘friendly’ London pub info for saturday’s game
i will google your suggestions before we head down on saturday morning
hail hail…
p.s. none of your suggestions mentioned ‘free jars for first timers’ but i’m guessing that’s a given!
Guess what Ian Black will have signed a conditional contract .. guess what the condition will be ?
Hail Hail
With tomorrow nights game now being sold to Premier TV, i can only presume that ticket sales (inc SB) must be well over the 50k mark
We need as big and noisy a crowd as possible on Wednesday
Let them hear a wall of noise as soon as the teams embark from the tunnel

My mate has the idea that on July 29th next year every Celtic supporter should send them a Happy 1st Birthday card.
Just to remind them like :-)
lennon’s passion-I admire your hope with Bangura,just can’t see it mate,I hope to be proved wrong.
Another SPL wage for the Third Division team.
Rangers have signed former Hibernian and Kilmarnock midfielder Dean Shiels.
The 27-year-old Northern Ireland international moves to Ibrox as a free agent following an excellent season at Rugby Park.
He won the League Cup with the Ayrshire side and was nominated for Scotland’s player of the year.
Rangers, who are preparing for life in Division Three, will announce details of the contract at a 13:30 BST media conference.
On SSN within the last half hour we have had 2 positive SevCo headlines
They are to be granted full SFA membership on Friday (which everyone in Scotland has known about since last Saturday)
Dean Shiels will sign for them today
Methinks those SB sales are not going very well for ‘ol Charlie Green
I’ll say it again. Admin by Halloween
hamilton tim
i too think we need an anniversary so that they are never allowed to forget
Anyone going for a pint after the game Saturday?
If so where?
Would be great to meet a few people from here.
Will be with my kids and brother.
I’d like to see reps from the supporters groups of as many clubs as possible produce a signed document or such like that gets aired publicly to say as fans of all clubs we do not recognise the history of the huns being transferred to another entity.
This needs to happen,fan power which reflected true public opinion win the day with league placement,it can do so again with idea of history transference for the sole reason that it stops the type of cheating the huns indulged in and keeps football a sport considering how clubs suffer on the park in order to keep themselves alive and original.
A cross club statement then does not make anybody vulnerable on their own.
Tallybhoy – Having problems here! Pages not refreshing, and delays in posted comments! Same problem last night!
Tallybhoy – I like to think you’re an eccentric restaurant owner who keeps a special table out back so you can feed spaghetti to stray dogs while you play them romantic accordion music.
Either that or “Mr. McCool”, played by the wonderful Roberto Bernardi in the film “Comfort and Joy”. (thumbsup)
Steinreignedsupreme – A random troll around the internet will take you to sites that hold opposing views and are representative of brown brogue philosophy.
I’m quite a fan of brown brogues, they go well with blue or grey suits, khaki trousers, or even jeans. Time we reclaimed brown brogues and cardigans from the forces of evil. (thumbsup)

Any chance of more CQN badges being on sale on Friday at the Golf Day ? Would like to wear for Helsinki next week.
hamiltontim
I have said before, Sevco are made up of investors NOT rangers loving Millionaires.
So how do these investors get a return for their money?
Got my CQN badges today, well impressed! Big thanks to Tommy and BB for organising and distributing these!!! Hail Hail to wee Oscar

Talk of a few of us going out but we’ll need to wait and see how many are granted leave of absence after the CQN Golf Day on Friday!!
I am still loving the statement from Celtic wishing Motherwell all the best. Already had a hun moaning we never done that for rangers.
I told him, we have always hated you, so why would we?
That fairly set him off!
hamiltontim@13:15
‘Somethings not right about all this, it stinks!’
Green is bringing in players that at this point, they simply can’t afford
Its all about trying to get the hordes to buy a SevCo season book. They are not doing so at this present time. Many of them are going to purchase tickets on an individual basis as they do not trust him. Hence the signing of Black, Shiels etc in trying to coax them into doing so
Green needs a lot of dough now so he can keep the bandwagon rolling for a few more months yet
I would be interested to know if Rangers with their old crest is still a member of the ECA
Still advertised as such

They sell their investment on at a greater value than they purchased it.
But to whom?
But what about Craig White?
Looking forward to MBB getting back in the mix.
When is Sevco´s first home game?
Last day for Green and Sevco to produce that £30 Million they promised for the end of the month.
Sevco == A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN
NO MATTER HOW THEY SPIN IT :))) CHILL
