Newco assistant, Gary McAllister, this week told the media “to finish the season with a flourish would be a big positive going into the summer.” On hearing this, I thought back to the 3-0 win in a meaningless game against Rangers in May 1995. We left Hampden (our temporary home) with a child-like joy: we had a great day out but the ‘adults’ knew nothing of significant had occurred.
It is demeaning for an aspirational club to talk about the prospect of feeling positive at winning a meaningless fixture. Especially when they cannot even reach a cup final. To the outsider, this looks the opposite of aspirational. It looks needy and desperate.
Of considerably greater importance to Celtic in May 1995 was the Scottish Cup Final win over that other soon-to-be-liquidated team, Airdrie. We brought a trophy home for the first time in six years, in actual positive.
Win, lose or draw on Sunday, anyone who leaves Ibrox feeling positive or negative about the summer on the back of what happened that day is a fool. Gary, it’s not a good look.

Cheers S, I knew you were trying to contact him.
I hope you, your Dad and the family are well.

Just his skills it disnae go into the passing ability the dude hud.
The Croation Paddy McCourt.
It’s been a few weeks I think since I’ve seen anything posted by Delaney’s Dunky.
This post just to say hoping he’s good, concerned for him, and to let him know he’s missed and thinking about him.
Looking forward to seeing him posting again.
Al
Alasdair,
DD sits a few rows in front of me in the North Stand and introduced himself last season. I’ll check next week and if I see him will tell him of the concerns on CQN.
“With Henrik leaving us at the end of the season this club is losing a great scorer, no question. But I am also losing a great friend. Henrik was my idol and now that I am playing next to him it is fantastic.”
Insane Skills and talent.
Number 7 is Alive.
Hopefully we will see a worthy player wearing it in the coming Season and the one after.
………………
Alasdair,
You speak for us all.
Thinking about the Great Man.
Emeraldbee / Petec,
Cheers guys.
hi ghuys, this morning a lovely looking bmw maroon coloured car, passed me I just happened to note the reg s321 hun, now im led to believe the current manager of Glasgow sevco, lives in my area, surely not his car?.hh.
Jobo,
I watched the Aberdeen game in Lewis’s bar next to Loonys last week. Busy we bar and loads ov TV sets (i counted 8)
Been to John Lemon bar a couple of times also gets busy when games are on.
HH
Alastair McClean/EneraldBee DD won’t be at the match next week. I was in touch with him last night. I’m sure he’ll be back on here soon once he gets overbid recent sad losses.
Jobo: There will be a good atmosphere in the John Lemon tomorrow.
2nd visit to John Lemon pub much more encouraging. Usual blackboard sign in the street simply says,
“Sunday
1.00pm
Tribute Act”
I blame Lee Congerton.

Almore, thanks. I would have been bemused if he hadn’t been there next week, but his bushy-bearded lhad has been known to use his seat.
Almore,
Much appreciated.
” Leicester City are delighted to announce the appointment of new head of recruitment Lee Congerton” but the BBC understands that Leicester also strenuously deny having received compensation from the Glasgow Giants for his signature.

Is the blog broke or everyone having their tea?
PRESTONPANS BHOY

The count down to the Treble-Treble continues apace with a competitive Derby at Ibrox. What does SPFL form and previous encounters tell us about the outcome?
Hearing Foderingham out tomorrow, rookie GK
Hoping for us to beat the Huns by 3 goals tomorrow.
Emerald Bee
I don’t think that DD is in that seat this season.

Weah has left and his appearances were sporadic both by time and within formation. Yet his (limited) legacy is of promise and potential.
Like the buses me. Nothing for weeks then 2 articles in a day.
PR67
And now it’s like buses all come at once, oh Celtic by numbers posted, that should be a interesting read
Friesdorfer
Ah, THAT explains why I haven’t seen him. Thought it was just because I tend to arrive a wee bit earlier than DD and leave via the top stair.
Ta anyway. Hope things work out for DD – good craic.
just wow

Respect to Bilbao indeed.
I presume that everyone is too frenzied with excitement about the dead rubber tomorrow to be able to post here tonight.
Calm down dears.
Toronto FC general manager on TV complaining that he just can’t get a centre half signed………Compper anyone?
Disappointed Lewis Morgan got substituted again for Sunderland- and his replacement goes on and scores within 3 minutes. Yon Chris Maguire who used to play for the sheep. Thought LM would have really made a name for himself at Sunderland, but seemingly not the case. Bit worrying for us. The lad has talent – had high hopes for him when he signed.
Any word about the peaceful demonstration outside St Mary’s today organised by Call It Out.
VFR? Anyone?
CELTIC BY NUMBERS on 11TH MAY 2019 8:06 PM
Many thanks for the superb stats.
Both make very interesting reading, even without knowing the stats for Timo, I reckoned he was a good un!
