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?

Once again people calling for poster’s to be banned because they don’t agree with them, disappointing…….I think Kevj is way of the mark in his thought’s about our
bored, PL, and Celtic in general………but I genuinely believe he has a great love
for Celtic, and should be allowed to have his view’s aired……crazy as they are.

Celtic 2 – 0 Dundee United
Birthday family parties are great.My late brother John adored Belfast Celtic and the Glasgow Celtic. After Belfast Celtic went out of the league he then had Celtic to follow. If they got beat he would come home, take no dinner, and go straight to bed.My abiding memory is of watching the European Cup final with him in Farry’s pub on the Falls Road. Even when Inter went one up he was telling all and sundry that Celtic were still the best team in Europe (as they proved).So get all the stories you can from the oul’ fellas (and I’m one myself now). They are worth preserving. So here’s to BRTH and his da having a great time with the football stories and all the rest.
Oh—and Celtic to win 3-0.
BRTH – enjoy your dad’s special day and cherish the memories.

There is nothing better than listening to a father telling about the great people and ocasions of the past. I never needed Youtube to illustrate what had happened when my dad talked about games from 40 years before.
Have a great day

Happy birthday to your dad. Enjoy your family day.
Celebrated my wee mum’s 80th birthday in Whitecrook last night.

*I never asked for George of the Jungle or Sydney Whim to be banned just think that they are attention seekers who enjoy being contrary, I have Celtic supporting family like that.
Off to Paradise in the rain.

What a guy, brilliant – the early flouncer.
Tontine Tim….I have read back and would like to
apologize…….genuinely sorry.
The Gift That Keeps on Giving:
The constant troubles, travails and humiliation of the new club is great. Fun-Fun-Fun at the peepul’s trials, but richly deserved given their previous and inability to learn from experience. But the identity of who is behind Blue Pitch Holdings is their worst nightmare. At the moment the are sticking their heads in the sand scared to look.
But who is it, Craigy Green and Whyte or worse…….
Imagine their horror if Blue Pitch are Tims.
Good afternoon friends.
2 hours till kick off but pretty wet and windy looking, 10 miles from The Park. Had my first “freezing” ParkRun of this year too.
Wrap up warm – a black Dunlop Snood from (whisper it) Sports Soccer will be my own choice of undergarment today.

It is Baltic out there. Total wardrobe change for today. Looking forward to this game.
46 German tourists will be in the Investor Lounges today, if you can give them a hail hail.
Their team played Dukla Pumperston this morning at Toryglen and lost 5 v 3.
Many thanks to Tommy Sheridan for his help in bringing his Dukla superstars along.
Hopefully they see a good game.
Hoping we keep a clean sheet today, as confidence booster for Amsterdam.
Btw….looking to change my nom de plume but dont know how (too many gerry bhoys)….anybody know how i go about it?
Have to return to work now…will check back later.
Cheers in advance.

celtic have a wage ceiling in line with income to output. the only safe and prudent way to increase that wage ceiling is to increase regular income.
inho celtic are not even close to reaching the potential income it could from the supporters that attend the stadium, in and out of match days. our stadium offers very little income or opportunities to spend and we lack even the very basic facilities for visitors to our stadium envois. I hope to ghod our club will have
Rain Stops Play ( completely)………in the Rebel County.

That’s because people like your dad and I simply love being Celtic Supporters…. win, lose, or draw….it really is as straightforward as that…..HH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Dad took me to my first game when I had just turned five.
I love being a Celtic supporter just as much as you do,or him. We all kick every ball,take every tackle.
Your tone suggested something different.
Does being an unquestioning Celtic supporter somehow make you more of a Celtic supporter than one who asks those questions?
I think not. You may think otherwise.
People like you deserved the Kellys and the Whites. People like Fergus made sure you got better than that.
A big happy birthday to all cqn’s octogenarian relatives!
All no / don’t know (and yes for that matter) voters in next year’s big event would benefit from a read at this…brilliant!
4-1 to the good guys today – tony, amido & pukki (2) for the naysayers!

BRTH…have a great day with your dad…my auld yin is now 90 and we treat each celebration as potentially the last…like most Celtic fans I was given the bug through my family and I have been watching the bhoys for 60 years. I still recall my dad holding me up to see Bobby Evans lifting the 1956 league cup and telling me I would remember that moment for the rest of my life…he was right, of course…our last game together was v Vojvodina in 1967…enjoy your day!
Reading back the last hour or so, nobody better be on later saying they were cold at the game! No shortage of warnings on ole CQN ;-)
BRTH, sitting in coias waiting on my pre match grub. Glass raised to your old bhoy. 86, smashing.
Hail Hail, mon the hoops
RTE just announced The Blessed Martin and Keano to be next mgmt team for the Republic……….
Strange one…..
BRTH,
Congrats to your Dad and your Celtic family, I remember that saying about half of Whitecrook but it should have been 95% of Whitecrook and maybe more!
My Dad started taking me in the mid 60’s via Hunter & Curries for our pie and beans before the trip across to Clydebank Central and up to Bridgeton, many a happy day spent watching the Lions and beyond. Lying in bed tonight in Karratha in WA hoping for a good result when I get up at 0430 in the morning.
Lots of old Whitecrook Bhoys on here.

Coia’s has been on Duke St for a loooooonnng time. It used to be opposite the railway station at Millerston St. Remember going into it as a kid 40 years ago.
Ohhhh dear seems that I will need to go hunting for the wee green tartan rug and get get the flask filled with mammys soup
Soakings now at 3, nor even left for game yet…..
Err the wood burning stove is close to winning my Saturday afternoon affections today.
Remember mid 60s, my da sticking me in the cafe bottom of Springfield Rd while he jumped into The blue lagoon pub for a quick one. Three McCallums later he was still in there. I still get the tingle of excitement from those days watching the team that would very soon rule Europe.
Great memories.
