If you’ve not been following the work being done in your name in Malawi this week, do so here. 20 people arrived from Scotland early this week on behalf of the Celtic Foundation to renovate six centres which feed children ages five and under. They are also building a latrine (pretty sure this is a toilet) at one of the centres.
It’s another remarkable testament to the ethos of Celtic 127 years after the project started.
The Foundation are in Malawi with Mary’s Meals, the remarkable Scottish charity which is feeding hundreds of thousands of the world’s poorest children each day. By careful management of costs, utilisation of volunteers and ‘vocational’ staff, a remarkably high 93% of their revenue reaches those in need on the ground.
Really good to read Callum McGregor speaking to Celtic media. Not that he had anything particularly illuminating to say, but he was speaking after putting in a training session, confirming his return to fitness.
With the injury to James Forrest, Callum was one of the few bright lights in our early season form, opening the scoring in three consecutive European away games. He even shone in the inept Murryfield performance against Legia.
At the Hearts game last month I overheard someone suggest Callum needed a rest. His form had definitely dipped, which is not uncommon after young players sparkly when first breaking into the team. If he stayed fit there’s little chance he would have been rested for any of the recent games, such has been the form of those around him, so maybe his recent illness came at the right time.

As you know I spoke to Richie and he hasn’t quite made up his mind re Musselburgh but he spoke to PFAyr last night and he’s in Edinburgh at the moment and if Richie is correct he’s going to the dogs, I mean racing.
I hope Richie makes a good choice when he finally makes up his mind and comes to the racing,I have promised both of them that I will come to the hootingtootingannie,get drunk and miss my train to get back the 23 miles. I had just come two hours previously.
Convoluted jibbering from an old man who has to remember to take his medicine to the racing.
OLDTIM
This ‘get drunk,miss train,23 miles’ thing of which you speak.
It sounds darn familiar…
Good luck at the racing,mate. See y’all later.
Oldtim
Whatever you decide, remember yer medicine Ya oul tart!!! :-)
Right, offski.
Morning all. Grey day down here. Hope Scotland brighten that later on.
I am still coming to terms with TBB’s information about MoD’s budget compared to that of the whole of BBC Scotland’s. How can the BBC even begin to justify that, given that we here also have to pay the same licence fee? It’s ludicrous. I’m not really expecting that our sports department be better funded; they would probably squander it on their beloved undead. But BBC Scotland ought to have at least a tenth of the Beeb’s budget. We might be able to produce real quality TV and Radio, especially political stuff, as, imo, the great result of the Referendum is that we are as a nation properly engaged in the process as never before. Long may it continue, wherever it leads.

I backed that horse that (What is the Stars) put on the blog last night, I put £20 pounds on it’s nose,shouldn’t have done that as it must have put the nag under more pressure as it ended up stone last,Where the F*** did you get that tip from WITS,surely it wasn’t your own choice.(::
Oldtim

Morning Celtic Quiz Nubiles (thanks Nye)
This old quizmaster is planning on a trip into town for a tipple with a dear friend today from 1ish.
After reading the hootenanny talk, I thought it would be nice to attend my first CQN do.
But don’t know if it’s by invite only.
Looking forward to meeting up with fellow tims today.
unthank weather forecast. A bright sunny disposition is about to land in Calpe.!
Oldtim
can you remember the horse you were thinking of betting, think it was running at Musselburgh today and was a 2 year old
Have a great day hootenanniers, and all other tims alike.
Somebody needs to take charge of bmcuwp to get him on that last train.
Hail Hail hoopsters

See you in Macghuills at just before 2:30 ,I will be the tall fhella looking after yon Lennybhoy :)))))
Thanks guys and I’ll be the bunnet donning chap with the tall fella at my back
gordybhoy64.
I have no info regarding this horse,it’s my own thoughts. It was a race at Musselburgh and the horse had never run before so I put a bet on it as it was a first run I watched and my eyes only watched my horse, it raced about 10L behind the leaders when it got into the straight and still 10L behind it started to race, in the end it was beaten into 3rd but it made up about 9L in two furlongs I was quite impressed with the horse, that’s about all I can say about it, I’ve bet it today but there’s a horse running in the race that is a hot favourite, the horse I fancy will have to overcome the favourite, By the way the horse I’m talking abou t is Penelope Pitstop 1.55 at Musselburgh.
It’s just my fancy, I know it’s trying, but is it good enough to beat the Fav?.
