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.

I don’t think it a moot point.
All I am doing is asking those who want RD out, who they propose to get in to replace him
Taking all the constraints into account.
I agree 100% with SELF DOUBT AND SELFISM @ 16.19, unless cash is forthcoming, we will never know, the present bunch, one or two excepted, are no at the races IMO.

Can I ask you a simple question ?
Going to ask it anyways.
When the suits told you that Res 12 was not a priority, and it was on the back burner, [ your words ]
Did that no ring alarm bells ?
I would have thought theft. corruption, rule breaking etc, etc were paramount to good governance in the scottish game.
Or is it all about the hun come what may, and feck everything else ?…..dinny bother answer the last bit, as I already know the answer >}

Agree with quite a lot of what you say apart from “when they make it back to the SPL”.
They ain’t making it back anywhere Fhriend as they area NEW team.
Pay the face painters ya bassas. Liquidation is for life not just for Christmas.

I’m against big Government. I want the smallest Government possible.
I know we sold our better players over past few years but the squad we have are good enough to romp the SPFL. I have no doubt that we will get our act together and win it easily but I see no sign of an emergence of a good team. Ronny came promising possession football, a fast flowing attacking game and plenty of goals. In our first 2 league games we clocked up 9 goals but in the last 6 games we averaged a goal a game. Its not just all about the Hamilton Game. Its 6 turgid league games in a row, in which we lost to Inverness & Hamilton, drew with Dundee & Motherwell and had single goal wins against Aberdeen & St.Mirren. For a Club like Celtic its a woeful run and Ronny must shoulder some of the blame..

BMCUW – you were not thinking back there when you suggested Bob Kelly picked the team that won the Big Cup. Only Mr Stein picked the team in those days.

You obviously missed my comment about never voting for UKIP again. I voted for a specific reason.
I don’t want Big Government, if Salmond had been true about being Independent and not desperate to join an even bigger and more sinister Government then I’d have voted Yes, Most Defo.
I’m wanting to stay in Scotland with Celtic, let us build up this place, Willo Flood it with Celtic, properly schooled footballers.
Petec,
explain sinister ?

Correct,bud.
I should have made it more obvious that it was not to be taken seriously.
Just heard that the draw for the English FA Cup is to take placebos on BBC television on Mondays. Is it not time that this company called themselves BBC as it only serves that region of this Union?
Oh dear meant English Broadcasting Company. Cannot get to grips with is kindle fire.
Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo,
I think there are dark forces at work hence the Polish air crash of the economists and Leadership.
Heck even the Queen said so to Butler.
The transfer of Wealth is obvious, you just can’t fight it.
Well you can…..

Re a new manager.
firstly I’m not saying we need one.
However, some of the changes and choice of changes Ronny has plumped for, have concerned me.
If it came to Celtic needing a new boss, I’d plump for Strachan again. We’ll need someone who is familiar with the club and he already knows most of the players too.

Context is all.
I think that particular conversation was around the time of signing RD and understanding Norwegian and Norwegian contract law was a bit of a priority.
I think as you do too regarding the need for good governance and it cannot be allowed to be all about the hun.
Not sure what Celtic alone can do to stop that dirty snowball from rolling its path but if it does arrive it makes proper governance an absolute pre requisition of continued support of Scottish football by fair minded people across the full support base, not just Celtic.
BCW
So you are happy to stagnate then ?
RD has been dealt a crap hand, with players in, loans, injuries etc, not knowing the game and the cheats with the whistles, hard enough for any new manager.
RD took six years to win a league, against all the odds, yet he did, no saying give him six years, but give him the players he wants for his system FFS.
HH
Managers need time to implement ideas and style.
Has Jose mourinho ever done worse in his second season at a club?
Note.
I ain’t saying ronny is as good as José before anyone floods their pampers.
Auldheid
The club have done nothing as far as I and others can see.
And if they are doing stuff behind the scenes, it’s not showing.
Still a rule for them, a rule for everyone else, and a special rule for Celtic, or am I mistaken ?
HH
“However, some of the changes and choice of changes Ronny has plumped for, have concerned me.”
Big cup winners,
I agree. But Sunday was the least changes ever and a team most were happy with but it still dealt a frikin horrible result bizarrely enough.
Auldheid
I suspect the SFA will obfuscate and use the concept of time to hope that the problem just goes away. It took Fergus a while to reel in the SFA , so whilst the muppets are in charge play them at their own game.

The amount of money the BBC puts into English football is a disgrace when compared to not just the Scottish game but all sports in the UK in general.
They must be acting outside their broadcasting remit with MOTD and the likes.
