If you are going to Celtic Park tomorrow you will see a lot of photos like the one above. Outside the ground 200 bucketeers will be collecting to raise money to send Oscar Knox for treatment for neauroblastoma.
Be prepared. Bring spare cash with you, have it ready and do your bit for Oscar.
For the second week in a row we take on the team at the bottom of the table; see how that worked out last week. After an awful August which saw Dundee’s return to the SPL marked with one point and no goals scored from four games, they picked up three points at Tynecastle before losing a lead late in the game against Motherwell last weekend. Manager Barry Smith will have watched how St Johnstone went about their business six days ago and will believe his team can nick something at Celtic Park.
Neil Lennon (and some of us) will welcome the drop in intensity from Wednesday’s Champions League tie as Celtic are likely to give game time to those who joined the club three weeks ago. Miku, Lassad and Ambrose all need to stretch their legs.
Big shout again for the guys raising money for Celtic Youth Development through TicPick. It’s £1 to enter and you win £1000 for predicting 10 results. I’ve gone for Celtic to beat Dundee, West Ham to beat Sunderland, Aberdeen and Motherwell to draw, Man City to beat Arsenal, St Mirren to beat Killie, Dundee United to beat Hearts, Man Utd to beat Liverpool, Hibs to beat Inverness, Chelsea to beat Stoke and Spurs to beat QPR.

Just had a thought – some of the ‘more mature’ bucketeers today might require assistance in carrying said buckets which will, undoubtedly, be brim-full of cash!
If you spot a (quite) elderly bucketeer today struggling with his load please offer assistance!
HH!!

It’s a direct cut and paste job, – they never were and never will be close to distinction.

Entry will be restricted to those with the requisite £5, using the password “Oscar Knox Rocks”.
If you want to be inspired , not just about football, but the world in general and the Celtic spirit in particualr, just follow wee Oscar`s story.
Will not be there today for a good reason, but have made my donation and will follow with interest the entire story.
I do not want to tarnish a great human interest story by mentioning the MSM, however would it not suit them better to cover this story, back and front page?
Good luck to everyone today, I have benn involved in a previous bucket collection and it is a great experience to see how much people will give, just shout loud and get in their faces.

Has anyone seen the article in the Sun today by Roger Hannah?
I know folk don’t want to go to the site but essentially they have evidence that Charles Green refused to accept title and cup stripping to get the SFA licence.
It is written as a poor wee rangers victim effort but instead it misses the point – if the SFA/SPL could have justified title stripping in July, they have the evidence and rangers are guilty.
Because Charlie Chalk said no to this (if he had Bomber Brown would be in charge with those title deeds) we have a tribunal.
The key thing is the article talks about how HMRC told the SFA about EBTs in 2010 but they did nothing about about it.
See it is a plot against rangers.
Wasn’t George Peat in charge of the SFA in 2010?
Obviously an anti-rangers plotter.
Michael Grant was on the wireless this morning, using terms like “demotion to the Third Division”, “returning to the SPL” and “meanwhile Old Firm rivals”.
I thought I was tuned into 5 Live, but the signal seemed to be coming from the twilight zone.
Fill oops
I blame Kafflik skools

There is still a lot of dirt to be unearthed. And it will come out.
Nothing would surprise me regarding Peat. He is completely incompetent and a total bigot. Seems those things are the requirements to hold that post.
frantic07, welcome. you a sevconian.?
ttt has now taken to attending games by proxy!

Rangers: Lord Nimmo Smith defends tax probe
Lord Nimmo Smith has launched a strongly worded defence of his tribunal, due to rule on Rangers’ Employee Benefit Trust payments.
Rangers chief executive Charles Green and former chairman Alastair Johnston both questioned the independence of the Scottish Premier League-appointed team.
“It is fundamental to the constitution of a body with investigatory and disciplinary powers, such as the present commission, that it must act independently of the person or body appointing it,” he said.
“None of us would have accepted his appointment on any other basis.”
It is alleged that the Ibrox club failed to disclose secondary EBT payments made to players during the years 2000-2011.
Green, who took control in June and relaunched the club in the Third Division after failing to stop the “oldco” company heading for liquidation, said on Wednesday that he felt the outcome of the tribunal was pre-ordained.
Lord Nimmo Smith chaired the investigation into Rangers rule breaches
The Rangers chairman has subsequently been accused by the SPL of bringing the game into disrepute but will defend himself at a future tribunal by arguing that he did not question the commission’s integrity.
Johnston, meanwhile, accused the Scottish Premier League of setting up a “kangaroo court” designed to “satisfy a self-serving agenda by vested interests in the SPL”.
Lord Nimmo Smith, who will be joined on the panel by two QC’s, Nicholas Stewart and Charles Flint, insists they will not be burdened by the SPL in their investigation.
“In most cases, it would not be necessary to discuss this topic, but in the circumstances of the present case we think it appropriate to do so,” he said in a statement on the SPL website.
Green has also suggested that the SPL no longer has jurisdiction over Rangers because they are now playing in the Scottish Football League after being denied entry to the top flight.
However, Lord Nimmo Smith said: “To take the hypothetical example of a club which has been engaged in match-fixing in the last game of the season but is then relegated and consequently ceases to be a member of the SPL, there is every reason why it should still be liable to disciplinary action at the instance of the SPL – whether or not the breach comes to light before or after that club has relinquished its SPL membership.
“We can think of many similar hypothetical examples.
“Oldco appears to us to be in no different a position.”
The judge feels that most people will view the tribunal in a positive light.
“The question is whether the fair-minded and informed observer, having considered the facts, would conclude that there was a real possibility that the tribunal was biased,” he added.
