Issue 16 of CQN Magazine is out today and (in my never humble opinion) is our best yet. We are right up to date, with coverage of the Scottish Cup final. Phil Mac Giolla Bhain gives historical perspective on Celtic’s position as the last apex in the game.
You’ve ready plenty of great stories of how people got their tickets Seville and we bring you a very Celtic story on how one man got his. Did you notice we’ve mentioned Willie Wallace a bit recently? Some of the reasons why are covered by two of Scotland’s best writers, Brogan Hogan and Archie MacPherson, excerpts of their contributions to Heart of a Lion are here for you.
There are lots more great articles….. including our cover theme, The Lions Roar Again Event. The remaining Lisbon Lions are back at Celtic Park for a Q&A and Lisbon film show, in aid of 1254125. The first event was one of those special Celtic occasions, if you missed it, make sure you get along this time.
Opportunities like this don’t come along often. Book your tickets for the event here, bring the family.
DON’T TRY TO READ THE MAGAZINE FROM THE GRAPHC BELOW, that is just a teaser. For a proper read, go here. Use the navigation buttons at the bottom to flick through pages or zoom in.

At the risk of sounding like your da… you should be staying at home with your feet up
RobinBhoy 09;52:
Before you go into that club make sure that you walk through all the dog s**t you can find.
TBJ.
Seven weeks of doing just that is doing my head in…
I see Fernandhino has also snubbed Celtic in favour of Manchester City and thats following on from Neymar snubbing us to go to Barcelona.
Totallysnubbedcsc.
I think we should always talk about a ‘march’ rather than a ‘walk’ because it is part of their propaganda to talk about a walk as it sounds less threatening.
10.36 and corkcelt not on the golf course.
That is totallysnubbed.
The boy jinky.
We have to get some practise in fo Aberdour, I don’t think his da would say that,quite the opposit, away and enjoy yourself. would be more like.
Just noticed I’ve been posting quite a lot this morning,better get ready for my travel experience.
Quick shout-out for all the bingo callers out there looking in to CQN.

Join the Greek dots eh?
Never did get a reply from UEFA about the licence granted in 2011 with the wee tax bill causing sherrif officers to call at Ibrox in respect of the unpaid we tax bill.
The circumstances at the time should have invoked a couple of UEFA rules and the SFA never supplied a timeline that would have quelled suspicions.
In fact I think Regan’s basic message was trust us.
Aye right. How has that worked out Mr Regan.
This whole ball of wool will unravel in time when guilty parties have gone from the scene.

Excellent!
Worth a repost during a window even though ‘they’ are deed and don’t have one
Transfer Window Style Guide
(1)Rangers FC do not ‘buy’ or ‘sign’ players. They ‘swoop’ for players. The extraordinary nature of these swoops must be emphasised at all times by preceding the word “swoop” with at least one of the following choices – ‘sensational’ ‘stunning’ ‘exciting’ ‘audacious’ or ‘ambitious’.
(2)Celtic FC do not ‘buy’ or ‘sign’ players. They ‘finally complete’ deals. The hugely dull nature of this event should be emphasised at all times by using at least one of the following terms – ‘protracted’ ‘long-running’ and ‘drawn out affair’.
(3)Any overseas transfer target of Rangers FC is, without fail, also ‘being pursued by a host of Europe’s top clubs’
(4)Rangers FC must then be referred to as ‘battling it out for the signature’ of this ‘hot property’ and ‘wanted man’.
(5)The exact identity of these elite club’s will be selected on a random basis but must contain at least one of the current top 4 sides in Italy, Germany and Spain. One of these may be substituted by Lyon but no other French club.
(6)If the said player signs for Rangers FC then the club have ‘pulled off a sensational coup’. To avoid unnecessary confusion under no circumstances should the player be asked why he turned down these previously reported top clubs? Instead the player will ‘modestly refuse to comment on the speculation’.
(7)Any overseas player purchased by Rangers FC under the age of 21 years is a ‘wonder kid’.
(8) Any overseas player purchased by Celtic FC under the age of 21 years is an ‘unknown youngster’.
(9)In recognition of the club’s international stature it is appropriate that the transfer fees received and paid by Rangers FC should initially be quoted in Euros. After this initial use the term of currency quoted should be dropped and thereafter, whenever possible, the figure referred to only by approximate amount.
(10)Should Rangers FC purchase a Scottish player from a domestic rival then this story must be accompanied by a double page spread praising the club’s willingness to invest in home-grown talent and how this is of the benefit to the national side and indeed the country as a whole.*
(11)Should Celtic FC purchase a Scottish player from a domestic rival then this story must be accompanied by a double page spread condemning the club’s willingness to rape rivals of home-grown talent and how this is to the detriment of the national side and indeed the country as a whole.*
(12)Any player linked with Rangers FC who has not made a strongly worded denial of the said move should be referred to issuing ‘a come and get me plea’
(13)Clubs unwilling to lower their asking price to meet the perfectly acceptable bid placed by Rangers FC must be strongly condemned. All stories of this nature must include the words/terms ‘staggering asking price’ ‘inflated fee’ ‘outrageous demands’ and ‘holding to ransom’. The player involved in this deal must be referred to as ‘the want away star’ and it is imperative that any story fully informs the reader how the immoral stance of the selling club could ‘jeopardise a dream move to Ibrox’ for a player ‘whose heart is set on a switch to Glasgow’.
(14)Clubs unwilling to up their bid to meet the perfectly reasonable fee placed on a player by Rangers FC must be strongly condemned. All stories of this nature must include the words/terms ‘insulting’ ‘laughably derisory bid’ ‘on the cheap’ ‘deliberate attempt to unsettle’ and ‘outrageously low offer’.
(15)The signing of an overseas player by Rangers FC must be accompanied by a two page spread stating how they will become as good as their nation’s most famous footballer. For example: Rangers’ Romanian new boy was last night tipped to be the man who could finally fill the boots of Gheorghe Hagi. Mark Hately is willing to contribute to this article.
(16)The signing of an overseas player by Celtic FC must be accompanied by a two page spread questioning whether they are good enough for the SPL. Mark Hateley is willing to contribute to this article.
(17)If Rangers FC sign a player who has at any point of their career – been watched by any member of the Celtic Park staff (including Superstore employees, programme sellers and outsourced catering workers) then they will have ‘sensationally snatched’ the said player ‘..from under the nose of the Parkhead club’.
(18) If Celtic FC signs a player who we previously linked with Rangers FC then it will be because ‘After initial tentative interest Rangers decided to pull out of the chase’ thus ‘leaving the road clear for Celtic’. The player in question ‘..represented poor value for money..’ and ‘was no better than the players already available to the Rangers boss’.
(19)The fact that Walter Legned is a bilionaire are integral elements of any Rangers transfer story and failure to recognise this will see copy spiked.
(20) As in previous years our colleague at the Sunday Mail will again be organising ‘Operation Moonbeams’ which is as usual planned for the first weekend in February. Our duty is to ensure quality follow-up coverage. While details of the current operation are being finalised you are advised to familiarise yourself with Glasgow City Council’s Draft Regeneration Project for Govan and NASA’s proposed manned mission to Mars
(21) ‘Gers’ when trying to scrape every last halfpenny the bank will lend, shall be reported as ‘Gers playing hard ball’
(22) Whilst calculating the cost and best time to make a deal and strike a deal, Celtic will be reported as ‘dithering’
(23) ‘Gers’ on receiving a flat knockback with an inferior offer, will be congratulated for not breaking their strict Presbyterian wages cap.
(24) Only Celtic sign players on a free transfer
(25) “Gers” snare £3 million pound rated strikers via the Bosman rule
(26) Any Gers players moved on will have lost interest in playing football after fulfilling their lifetime ambition.
(27) When referring to the former Ally he should always be called Alistair, and his “warchest” shouldn’t drop below Jim Traynor’s lifelong supportering guesstimate of £12,000, 000 net.

Its not your head you need to worry about… its your leg doofus.
BT I never play week-ends. Week-ends is grand-kids time. You could set your clock by me. Its Mon/Weds/Fri mornings for Golf. Today though I’m varnishing the garden furniture, bloody hell all this work and with our summers they get used for about 2 weeks a year. Anyhow taking a break to watch the Lions game plus European Boxing. Ireland have 4 guys contesting Finals. Finish the furniture sometime in the afternoon.
