We all know Craig Whyte doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the wonderful job he is doing for Scottish football but his cause was not helped by rookie manager, Ally McCoist, who when asked today if Nikica Jelavic asked to leave Rangers said, “No he didn’t, not at all. I have a wonderful relationship with Nikica. He never said that.”
The Rangers manager then passed the buck onto the unfairly beleaguered club owner, telling STV, “We received a bid from Everton which Craig [Whyte] found acceptable. Therefore business was done.”
McCoist refused to take a manager’s responsibility for deciding who leaves the football club. Craig Whyte made it clear to all concerned yesterday that Nikica Jelavic wanted to leave Rangers and there was no point keeping a player who didn’t want to be there. Whyte needs the backing of everyone with the best interests of Scottish football at heart, including his manager. The intrusive scrutiny he has been placed under in recent months will not help him achieve his objectives.
Whyte hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, we should all mind our own business and let him get on with his job. Eye on the prize, Craig.

Interesting discussion earlier re Cesar and McNee.
From Billy’s biography, McNee asked HIM to step outside, and Billy took that to mean only one thing. As McNee turned towards him, Billy thought he was going to hit him, so got his retaliation in first. McNee then cowered on the floor, covering his head as the other journos came running out to see what was happening.
Incidentally, Roddie MacDonald was still a Celtic player at the end of season 1979-80, and was injured for the Riot Final. Billy also asserts in his biography that McNee is a Celtic fan, and was closer to the club than any other journo.
Great quiz as always CRC
Factus8 – well played. No idea about your monicker though! ;-)
Enjoy the evening Bhoys, 5 hours on a laptop is enough for me.

Going to bed and not been on here tonight, but just watched Neil Lennon’s interviews on Celtic TV and SKY.
It fills me with absolute pride to have such a brave, articulate and intelligent Celtic man in charge of the team I love.
Hail! Hail!

Cheers for taking part lhads and as a wee reminder if you want to donate a few wee pennies for a great cause, I plan to walk into town tomorrow to meet up with fellow CQNers, catch the game at The Admiral and have a few beers. The hope is that the walk then negates the beers!!
I am doing this with Smashing Milk Bottles (SMB), Mrs CRC and another pal. Anyway SMB came up with his very first ever good idea and suggested that we should turn this into a good cause and try and raise some money for the Vanessa Riddle appeal.
http://www.justgiving.com/vanessa-appeal
Our team of 4 will walk a total of just under 40 miles. Our “green walk for Vanessa” will be completed irrespective of Hail (Hail), snow or rain!
If you want to sponsor us a few pennies, then drop me a wee email at celticrollercoaster@yahoo.co.uk.
We will provide photo evidence of our epic hooped adventure!!!

The moniker is from an EP released by New Order in 1982 which features Temptation, Hurt, Procession, Mesh, and the fabulously named Everything’s Gone Green!

I can assure you noone was critical of Mr McIlvaney.
His name came up when discussing top sports journo’s.
For me he is the absolute best.
Mc Nee couldnae lace big Billys boots. Why? cos he’es to friggin FAT!!
Factus 8-well done-Inspired answer.
CRC-excellent quiz as per-will of course sponsor you and will sort it out at the quiz next Saturday night!

Brilliant stuff m8!
I have been trying to prove on here for the last few years that, Gerry McNee is a Celtic and closer to the club than, ANY other journo. Thanks for clearing that up m8!
P.S. I apologise if I got my information wrong re: the altercation between both gents. I’m sure that they will always have green & white blood flowing through their veins.
Hail! Hail!
Thanks CRC, it was a lucky guess.
Great quiz as always, cheers!
SFFS – we have the finsalepisode from season 2 to watch tomorrow. Episodes 11 and 12 were the best yet for me (last weekend). Just need to find out where to buy Season 3 as I’m not that keen on the old download thingy. And work’s fine, thanks.
Factus 8 – now I know!
Right, off for some TV.
Jobo
That should say – Gerry McNee is a Celtic fan.
Typo.
So Is Keevins. Both soup takers!!
Big Billy didn’t crack that a*hole McNee hard enough!!! Hail Cesar!!
CRC – cheers once again for the quiz.
H!H!
Dec is amad, amad is dec?????
CRC,
#cheers again for another very enjoyable quiz. I’ll settle for a UEFA cup place.
Factus, well done mate. Superb answer to win it.
CSB, very unlucky mate. just got done at the end.
well played all.
HAIL! HAIL!

Cheers CSB, so fortunate to have pipped you there, good contest.
Kev Jungle, if he is, he is the most bizarre Celtic fan in history.
In my book, he is a rat.

Please no more Inverness results tomorrow.
A wee sweep. How many times will the commentators mention SCGB?

Not as good as Big Jock’s mate, John Rafferty. Mistaken identity Germany 1972, Abervfan award, the creator of ‘the bully wee’ the creator of ‘ 6ft 2 eyes of blue big jim holtons after you’. A true Celt. Read up on him, legend(biased).

Hail! Hail!
Got to love commander in chief Lennys reaction on ssn when urged to insist we need them( whoever they are and whoever they turn out to be)
Do we need Rangers to be strong? Of course not! We want to be stronger !!!!!
We are strong financially and have a tremendous young squad who will only get better !!!!
No need to bow to these slugs, they are what they are, we are what we are!
As for tomorrow , we are what we are and they’ve not got a clue wether to go to watch Hearts or Harthill!
It’s a good feeling reflecting on the early 90’s, the dross we watched and backed.
Watching the hoops at Forfar and Easter Road vs Whitehall welfare and struggling whilst the Queens gold was being scattered on the only street in the world you cannot bless yourself!
Forgive me for not shedding a tear, I on the other hand might just actually piss mesel if Tesco govan gets planning permission
Only because I’ve got a club card of course!
