It took a late goal from Anthony Stokes to secure Celtic’s win at Tannadice in August. That led to a five match unbeaten run for Dundee United, which ended two weeks ago at Pittodrie before Inverness knocked 10-man United out of the League Cup on Tuesday with a 120th minute goal.
Jackie McNamara has stabilised his team and they are likely to finish in the top three this season, but the defeat on Tuesday, which led to a storm of controversy over the behaviour of Nadir Ciftci, will be a major challenge ahead of United’s trip to Celtic Park. The champions should win comfortably.
There was little glibness evident in The Herald’s sombre interview with Dave King, published this morning. Despite apparently getting along famously with antagonists on either of Rangers International shareholding, he was unable to reach a deal, perhaps because he didn’t speak to the Organ Grinder behind the club playing in Rangers colours.
Indeed, neither King, nor anyone else trying to oust, or do a deal with, the current board, knows the ultimate beneficiary behind Blue Pitch Holdings et al. Is it you? It’s not me, but I suppose that’s what everyone is saying right now.
That question, is the only show in town.
King wrapped up his comments to The Herald by saying “Over the last two years we have all witnessed the destructive value when individuals, who should be putting the club first, advance personal agendas through the media in an attempt to influence the most important stakeholder in Rangers Football Club – the fans”.
Self-awareness is a rare thing.
Mr King is 100% correct on the destructive influence those who have divided his new favourite club have had. Without the modestly self-named Blue Knights causing ultimately unproductive havoc, Charles Green’s consortium would surely not have over-paid and under-charged, leading to the situation King believes could lead to administration. The question now for those on the outside is, do they have the votes, or are they just peeing on the Broxy Bear Burgers?

Phil ripping DK myth to shreds on twitter. Excellent..

Think Jackie will take advantage of lenient refs ?
Seems like he’s perpetuating the myth that everything has gone bad in the last two years. Sad really.
Peeing on the Broxy Bear Burgers???
I’ll have you know that this has been re-branded as Ulster Vinegar.
You can even get Extra Virgin Ulster Vinegar if Davie Dodds pees on your burger, I mean, sprinkles Ulster Vinegar on them.
Don’t touch the Ulster Pepper sauce, by the way!

can you post please.
What about each morning with a cut off time of 11 a.m., we run a book on Podium chasers?
It would be difficult, though, to prevent collusion.
I loved Peter Lawwell’s response to the question of potential conflict of interest re the Lying King’s fit and proper test.
My reading of it was that it was ambiguous enough to
a) question Campbell Ogilvie’s obvious conflict and
b) lay open the question, “what conflict of interest would the Chairman of Celtic have when discussing matters concerning a new third division club who could hardly be construed as a rival of Celtic?”

Has Willie Collum been appointed ref for this weekend?
I heard someone say that United had won their last 10 fixtures officiated by Willie.
I think King and Rangers deserve each other, couldn’t give a monkeys if he gets the gig.
I AM however interested to know what way Campbell Ogilvie votes in the process to smooth the Lying Kings entry into Ibrox.
PETETHE BEAT
We all await with baited breath the magic words announcing the new article and hurry across to it,only to have our hopes dashed.

From last thread, is it just me or is Dave King morphing into Kenny Dalglish:

Three match ban for an offence deemed punishable by the ref with a yellow card.
Then Fabregas got involved. I do hope for a schadenfreude moment with that yin.
BMCUW- Re Jock Stein book, aye a steal, felt a bit guilty about it.

You’re not going out in Glasgow tonight per chance?
Paul67
Blue Knights?
More like the Black Knight still faithful to the same King or is it President?
Time for change methinks.

First orders will be sent out some time nxt week.
Afternoon, looking forward to the game, usually a good game with Utd, it was my Dundee Utd supporting neighbour who took me to my first game at Celtic Park , t owatch Celtic v utd many years ago.
Goldstar glad you are keeping busy, I will buy the book of you for a £1 (when you are finishedwith it) ; seems better value than buying a deid fitba team :)
eurochamps67 , you calmed down from last night :)
Auldheid, been following your posts on here and on the TSFM , something that is puzzling me , if Green and Easdales have 25% approx proxy covering BPH / Margarita , the Blue Knights mark III have 20% , fans have 10% , who controls the rest of the Sevcos shares around 30%+ ? Imrams Maw?
Two more games for Skoosh ?

Welcome to the madhoose, post away, I ain’t asking that question.
Not surprised Brown Appeal turned down. Oh well, a lesson learned for him.
