There are truisms in life. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, night follows day and Hibernian Football Club will not win the Scottish Cup. However, a failure to lift the trophy since Orville said to Wilbur, ‘I bet this thing gets off the ground’, does not guarantee subsequent failures. Hibs have already beaten Celtic this season and are perfectly capable of doing so again on Sunday.
Before this season Kilmarnock hadn’t won at Celtic Park since 1955, but it happened. St Johnstone, Motherwell, St Mirren, Inverness and Ross County beat us too. All these defeats were against the odds; no more so than Hibs are on Sunday.
Celtic need to get in touch with how they felt after their League Cup semi-final defeat to St Mirren, a day of so much regret. The 90 minutes will pass quickly, there’s no point leaving something in your locker for next week. Let’s get off to a flier.
Many thanks for sending over your Seville photographs, we are planning to pull photos and your comments on the event together into a special publication. If you have any more please send them in, celticquicknews@gmail.com.
Willie Wallace will be signing copies of his book at Waterstones on Sauchiehall St between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday, 25th May. Bet he knows what he was doing that very afternoon 46 years earlier. Get along to see him or order your own signed copy below. This is going to be a great weekend.

Celts,
Re the KANO 125 tee-total-athon:
First of all many thanks to those who have already donated to either Kitalba in Australia, Sannabhoy or myself. For those who don’t know, the Kano 125 is a group of CQN’ers who decided to go tee total for 125 days whilst putting away £1 per day, the idea was to gather the money and present it to the Celtic 1254125 charity in the name of Martin Kane (Kano) in Perth Australia, the 125 days ended on the 5th May and before I go any further I’ll let Kitalba who’s idea it was, say a few words:

Kano got sick one night, very sick. If it was not for so many Celtic Supporters, from so many places, then Kano would be an ornament in a sterile hospital room. That is not nice because Kano still breathes and he still thinks and he is still a Celtic Supporter to his very core.
A lot of money, by a lot of people, was raised to take Kano home. He can’t ever balance the books, but he’d love to.
None of us gets more than one go on the roundabout of life.
Celtic is celebrating their 125th Birthday and indelibly stamping it into their history by encouraging all to embrace the simple ethos of the clubs founding… let’s try and help those who just don’t have more than the air that they breathe.
A lot of Celtic Supporters are doing a lot of different things to raise money for to help those less fortunate than ourselves. To a lot of people that is no big deal.
I’m determined to help Kano pay back the kindness shown to him by the Celtic Support by supporting my club to help unfortunates. No big deal.
There are some from here who have said they will help me to help Kano to help Celtic to help others.
I will give up the bevie for 125 days and I give up posting on here for 125 days as of the 1st Jan. No big deal really, Kano has done both for the best part of four years.
I ‘m going to put a wee bit aside for each day that I don’t drink or post and forward it to Celtic to hopefully fill a belly that needs a feed or to make an unfortunate hope where only darkness is their dawn.(but maybe I can have St. Pat’s day off so I can share a day with some good Tims)
I’ve only one life and when I’m gone I will soon be forgotten, but if I’ve ever managed to feed one hungry person, if only for one day, then my life was worth something.
No big deal to me or you but the person I fed, he/she will never know where the food came from and they won’t ever be visiting my grave to put some pretty flowers at the base of a head-stone, they’ll be too busy worrying about tomorrow.
I can live with that and like Kano, once I’m gone, I’ll know that I never changed the world, hardly left a mark, but still I took to Celtic and I did something to try and ease the pain of others… sort of the Celtic way.
*****************
Nice post Kit,
To continue then, Kitalba has asked that I coordinate the monies and make one payment on everyones behalf to the Celtic 1254125, Paul67 has already supplied me with a name and I’ve been in contact with them.
The Kano Foundation have very kindly accepted a request to use their expertise and set up, to collect the monies into one central area.
Can I ask therefore, that all who took part in the Kano 125, and anyone else who committed to donate or now wish to donate, send their donations into the Kano Foundation via their website, its most important that you include “KANO 1254125” as a reference when making the payment so that all donations can be correctly accounted for.
Also you can pay at ANY bank using the following details:
Account: The Kano Foundation
Sort Code: 30 13 01
Account Number: 00989961
Can someone please repost for the late night session,Aussietims/ moonhowlers and I’ll do the early risers :¬)
Sorry for the long post but it’s for our friend Martin Kane in Australia, we should never forget him, he needs our love.

Excuse me if this has been discussed earlier but did anyone read today’s Herald report on the two Roman Catholic nuns cleared on assault charges against former detainees at Dalbeth Approved School. Most enlightening was the part played in bringing this case to court by DC Lesley McAuley and her motivation for seeing this case coming to court.
This is what many of us are up against in this great wee country.
Cheers Yorkbhoy..
Enjoy yer pint..
who have Hibs got up front on Sunday

That will change a lot of peoples thoughts on the EL.
Being saying for a while guarantee a CL place for the winners and watch it take off in every department.
Such was the sharp intake of breath I thought for a split second Jim Delahunt and Gordon Dalziel were going to spontaneously combust. I had the audacity to suggest that Hibs and Celtic fans in celebration of their Irish roots should bring a Tricolour with them to the game on Sunday.
I’m sure I could hear Dalziel mutter in the background “Dont bother with the Tricolour”.
I was only suggesting likes lol

Totally agree with you re Sammi. Cannot honestly say I’ve always been a fan but I am now.
I know that some of you have been asking about the funeral arrangements for Canon MacNamee, St Leonrd’s EK, who died on Tuesday – update from the Parish website –
Canon MacNamee’s body will be received into our church at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday 28 May. His Requiem Mass will be celebrated at 12:00 noon on Wednesday 29 May. Thereafter, Canon will be laid to rest at Philipshill Cemetery, here in East Kilbride.
Originalsadiesbhoy- what worries me is that a copper who posed with no surrender badges on her uniform while on duty at Ibroke, who has an RFC numberplate and who I believe awaits trial on a racially aggravated assault charge was allowed to take responsibility for this case- does that tell us something about her bosses as well?
Is that the bould doctor from Buckingham University?

Bit of discussion on here yesterday regarding this. Someone made the point that STV’s reporting made no mention of the part played by the WPC in the whole affair.
If we’re not paranoid then maybe we should be.
i notice very few expressions of revulsion for the brutal slaughter of a young soldier in london yesterday on this site.
its being ignored
this is only giving space to the jihadists to weave their evil
people have to speak out
evil flourishes in an environment of silence
as an irish republican i abhor the death that poor lad suffered,
no one deserves to die like that

Thank you for your efforts and organising along with others a collection point for donations.

Read it on the BBC blog yesterday,was in the process of returning a note to MSP re the Kettling incident,to which he had an update from the High Heedyins in the Polis,which as we all know was a Whitewash,so I added in the Court case re the Nuns, and to the standards of Justice that we now experience in this Beautiful Wee Counrty where we bide.

West had we offered prayers or said we would light a candle in his honour you would have moaned about us being religious on a celtic site. .

Will we see you back when the dead club return. Don’t let the turnstile hit you on the way out. You won’t be missed. Glory hunters come and go.
Stairheedrammy and doctor whatfor
I found the comment made by the Defence Counsel for Agnes Reville, one of the two nuns, Robert Anthony, to have been extremely damning, it was like “putting a fox in charge of a henhouse”.
It will be interesting to see if the Scottish Police Force do anything to assure the Catholic population that Police Officers like “no Surrender” DC McAuley will not be afforded opportunities to inflict their bigoted beliefs on us and abuse their positions of authority. Well done to The Herald for reporting this. Perhaps there is still a role for the old media in this country.
Stairheedrammy
Just my msps but have been expecting a visit from plod as one of them was was A Neil
West csc- from past experience these topics have a risk of generating more heat than light.
I do not in a million years believe that this reticence equates to giving space to jihadists.
Sadly the Muslim extremists and the eng def lge deserve each other.
Right, have managed to free up Sunday and am heading for Glasgow.
Am quite happy to watch the game on the box but if anyone has a spare (I know) then give me a shout.
Cheers
The Heidi huncho of the polis in Scotland has rushed to calm any fears of retaliation
To the local Muslim population .
He says “after the terrible happenings in Woolwich,I can assure you ,naebudy will
Touch yeez………that is unless you are a Celtic supporting Muslim,then you’re on your
own.”
P.s the two nuns did it.
Stairheedrammy
I got a FIVE page letter forwarded from my MSP, which was an update from the Chief Constable defending the full incident.

The exiled Tim – if ole jabba ever gives up the gig at the Death Star Peter Ayre is an ideal replacement.
Ledftclick- I had a phone call from the polis asking if a letter from them would be enough to satisfy my complaint- havent heard from them since
West csc
I’m sure just about everyone who posts on here were appalled at the brutal ,under of the young.
No one can condone what those two animals did to him. A totally cowardly attack. I too support an Irish Republic.
Cheers PJ- I wrote to my MP- who is labour so gave it cautious agreement- though I also complained direct to the polis- and plan to take it all the way

I agree re: JF
His onfield attitude and demeanour for a young man is frequently appaling and I have previously compared him to a teenager having been asked to tidy his room
Unfortunately I don’t think we can play Broonie wide right in absence of BK and VW
Equally unfortunately I feel that NFL has a blind spot re JF and if the player declares himself fit, then he will play.
I just don’t think he does enough to warrant being an automatic selection although I realise that charge can be laid a plenty other doors. As you say, when you think he’s bound to get subbed, he pops up with one on the on average two bits of football he plays per game and creates a goal eg SCSF assist for Stokes winner.
The bhoy has promise but IMO needs one helluva shake.
Papa John
Hope you get a satisfactory response from your MSP.
I think Gary Hooper will score 4 goals on Sunday. We’ll moider da bums!

No thank you mate for the regular reposting of Kitalbas post, and your donation already made, it was your dealings with Sannabhoy which gave me the idea for the link up with the Kano Foundation, it feels right.
