On Saturday morning I opined that Hearts were a busted flush. They’d shipped 10 goals in their previous four games, failing to win any (against Hamilton, St Johnstone, Inverness and Kilmarnock). They were certainly not a team I expected to see sitting second to us this morning.
All of a sudden there’s talk of the manager leaving and players look like they are fighting to impress.
You know how this is going to turn out? Hearts, who are chasing second in the league, are after Newcastle’s assistant. Newcastle’s owner isn’t likely to be hard to deal with. If Ian Cathro gets the job, you can expect to see Newcastle’s player surplus heading north in January. And unlike the five who left Newcastle for Glasgow two years ago, Cathro will know and select each one.
Which is good, as it might give us some competition in the second half of the season. As for those gambling the family aluminium that qualification for the Europa League next season will bring in a necessary £7m?
They may eventually conclude that having one of Europe’s richest men inside the tent is a whole lot better than making an enemy of him. Just a thought.

The outcomes of the resolutions at AGM are notified to the City of London , why is the Res 12 2013 update not mentioned and when will it be require to be notified to the City ?

I’m not familiar with the mechanics of Company Law but can ask when the meeting takes place.
Good morning friends and a Big Happy Friday from a dry, partly cloudy and relatively (for December) mild East Kilbride.

So if we were to despumate the Hun support, there would be no one left? Have I got that right? 0:-))

Hot Smoked @ 6.54 – to be honest, their songbook was rarely opened up last week and I don’t remember hearing anything particularly offensive. For once.
Big Jimmy @ 5.45 – loved those scenarios which seemed to cover even more ‘what if’s’ than the rules for Last Man Standing!
KevJ @ 6.27 – the last time I was in that stadium I was in the bit of the enclousre you mentioned. It was the rain drenched 4-4 game, around 1986?
Aff oot tae work. Be nice, the Blog’s been compulsive reading of late!

I would have said frivolous; however in a serious response to your question, here goes.
Martin Hayes
A journeyman player who had a decent spell with Arsenal but never really hit the heights. Didn’t get enough game-time with Celtic to make an impression. Nearly, but not quite good enough.
Carl Muggelton
Average and his signing was symptomatic of the state the club were in in the mid-nineties.
Raphael Scheidt
It’s all in the name! Celtic were conned in this one.
Mike Galloway
One of my favourite players in the early nineties. Tough as old boots and had a sweet left foot. Suffered from being in a poor team for a lot of the time and needed to be managed better than he was, particularly by Lou Macari.
Henrik Larsson
Genius. Mind you, he didnae look it in his debut against Hibs! Hard to say what was the best legacy from Wim Jansen: Henke or stopping 10 in a row!

MARK Warburton, the Rangers manager, last night revealed he is trying to bring in an “outstanding pedigree” midfielder on loan during the January transfer window who he believes will “excite the fans”.
The Englishman, whose team was knocked off second spot in the Ladbrokes Premiership with their 2-0 defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle on Wednesday night, is missing several players in that area.
Niko Kranjcar, Jordan Rossiter and Josh Windass are all out injured at the moment while Joey Barton left the Ibrox club last month.

I know they both have buckets of wit and laughter creased faces, but often wit gets lost in bland written words easily construed to convey pain as opposed fun, whence the only pure intent was fun as opposed harm.

Mon wee man!

There is not a rule about a game being abandoned if one or both teams has bee reduced to 7 players. The 7 player rule is that a game can take place if both teams can start the game with at least 7 players. Not relevant at professional level perhaps but on a Sunday morning in December in amateur leagues it can be! I think the game can only be abandoned if one of the teams is reduced to one player as in that circumstance not all the rules -most obviously offside can be enforced.

I know it is apropos to sporting semantics and not much else, because we won, we humped them, but I think Garner was offside when he scored in the 5-1 game.

5 – 1
thetimreaper,
I’m Hoping he signs Long Term in January.
What an Incredible Boost that would be – I feel that snack bar is a goodwan – a few are just skimming too much.
I Cannae see Celtic paying STUPID Money but 8 would be Fair, I reckon.
What a STATEMENT that would be howevaaaaah.
Halliday tells the meeja ” The beauty of this manager is he’s got an open floor for the boys to discuss how they feel”……. someone needs to tell Joey Barton THAT …. hahahahahahaha … silly little billy
Would love it Petec. A few years here is just what Paddy needs.

DESTROY the SFA
Hello again all you young rebels.
THE CELTIC FAMILY
It’s finally arrived, our Christmas BBQ weekend, despite all our clubs
other great days i.e Paddy’s day, halfway to Paddy’s day, Willie Wallace
legend etc. this is the one imo epitomises what the Celtic support is all
about, it’s a day where little baby’s, toddlers, teenagers and parents all
come together in the local beach park, there will be hoops tops and all
sorts of Celtic tops which iv’e never seen before but i’ll have my auld
67 top on and it will be the cause of some mirth, only because of the age
of me and the shirt but i only have to say to those belligerent teens
” big cup winners ” and the games a bogey.
Paddymacoz and some of the bhoy’s will be down the park early to
get our flags up on the trees and the gazebo built, now thats dedication,
various business owners will show up to leave meat parcels, donations
because they know what the Celtic family means to the community
and the work everyone puts in to have a successful day.
There’s lots of other big family groups in the park most Sundays, Greeks
Indian, Sudanese, because thats what they do this side of the world but
all eyes will be on our Celtic gathering, the music will be loud and proud
it doesnt’t matter, some of them will come over and join in some, will just
offer a donation because some of these people have been the beneficiary
of the Celtic family’s kindness at some time or another.
After a few Guinness i’ll sit quietly and reflect on days gone by when i used
to walk with my wee da up the Gallowgate on a cold foggy night and just
pray Celtic would win but if they didn’t i’d say to him ” it disny matter da, dis
it, because Celtic help people don’t they? and all these years later we’re
still doing it in so many ways, you ghuy’s over there with so many great
fundraisers and us on the other side of the world carrying on the Celtic ethos.
Our Santa has finally been selected to give the kids their presents at the sick
kids hospital along the peninsula coast in Frankston from all the money
donated over the year, and on the day, it’s always a tear jerker and thats
mostly from our lot, last year desperate families, single parents, etc. people
with no means of support were completely overwhelmed that some ghuy’s
and some soccer team they had never heard about would give money and take
the time to think about their kids and give them presents, needless to say even
the nurses and doctors were wiping their eyes.
So all you Oz tims you know where we are and what needs to be done get down
the Mornington beach park this Sunday, free sausage sizzle, a game of 5 a side
Paddy will be dancing , and if you donate enough i’ll be singing and minging, and
as i’ve said to all you CQN’rs many times and i’ll say it again
” The Celtic family eh! wha’s like us?
