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.

Bhoys- You know the quiz rules by now. Good luck
Round 1: If you know your History?
(2pts per first correct answer: 1pt per answer if you are correct but not first. Remember only 1 submission per round)
1) Which former Celt played in the 1992 FA Cup final?
2) Which club does Paolo Di Canio now manage?
3) What team did we play against in Martin O Neill’s first competitive European game as manager of Celtic and who scored a hat-trick for the hoops that night?
4) Prior to Sion :-), who were the last European team that Celtic beat in a competitive away game?
5) Which Celt scored an own goal when Super Caley went Ballistic?
6) Who was transferred from Celtic to Man Utd on this very day, 49 years ago?
7) Who was the last Celt to score a double on their competitive debut (clue early 00s)?
Swedish club GAIS claims Rangers will have to meet their claim for £240,000 for the development of Mervan Celik.

I noticed your posting earlier about the implications of the rule book, if the Rankers went into liquidation.
If I read the situation correctly, there is no ‘automatic right of entry’ , to the SPL / SFA and various votes / flexing of rules would be required.
Based upon my very limited knowledge of the law, this creates a precedent?
Could we use this precedent to our advantage by ‘negotiating’ that a condition of their entry , is our exit, and we use this to get an ‘approved, no strings /no parachute payments’ exit to another league.
We could then , play our triump card at a time that suited, and leave them all to it.
Any thoughts ?

Good news anyway, I hope he is back posting soon.
Your point about Joe Ledley was a very good one. I remember Neil saying Joe was his top man last season, I think it was roughly halfway through the season and he couldn’t speak highly enough of him. Brilliant professional.

Just saw Neil Lennon’s interview on Sky and it has got me thinking,
How will history view our current manager?
Good post Tommy, could not agree more,
I am very excited at the prospect of the next few years, with this young group of players
and a manager that bleeds Celtic through every pore.
heard his statement today, very timely
ya gotta luv Neil Lennon

To an extent I’d agree with you on McNee. To his credit though, although he did put the boot into us, he did not that I remember ever become a Hun loving sycophant.
His distaste for them was always apparent and fulsome.

Sipping a lovely wine from Chile – Perez Cruz 2009 blend of Cab Sav, Syrah and Cot. Should be £19.99 a bottle but with Virgin Wines you can get 3 for that price.
Nice for sipping whilst observing the perfect storm (and whilst doing the quiz!)
