One lesson on what happens when you undermine your manager in the days before facing Celtic was not enough for Newco, who today let it be known Steve Gerrard is on their shortlist when they tell Graeme Murty he will not retain the job.
One of the worst things for a football club is irrelevance, so this chat about Gerrard has achieved some merit – they are being reported. The ‘news’ may or may not have more substance than earlier news, that Derek McInnes was about to be appointed manager, but giving your supporters reason to believe they are relevant is worth something.
The seven thousand or so who will attend Celtic Park on Sunday (they should be there for the start of the game at least, although they tend to leave en-mass on conceding the fourth goal) will have a sprint in their step for the future. It may even sustain them through what could be a harrowing Celtic experience, comforted in the knowledge that whatever happens, the future is yet to be mapped out.
This plays out differently in the dressing room. Graeme Murty’s authority has been shot. No wonder players can openly question the manager’s ability. Even if this leaking of part of the short list sells a few season tickets, it will do nothing for the team on Sunday, much like Bitcoin bonus codes.
Murty must tactically prepare a team to deny Celtic the chance to win the championship. On his day, he is capable of achieving this, on two occasions now he has taken a point from Celtic Park. But these results were achieved when he arrived on the Celtic Way ahead of a united and embattled squad, with the support of board and fans. Not the players don’t want him, the fans don’t want him and the board don’t even consider the task ahead of him when writing to fans or speaking to the media.
Steven Gerrard is, of course, another Celtic fan/brother and would become Newco’s third successive manager with these credentials. He has been a regular at Celtic games for years. You would be forgiven for regarding this persistent policy as flattery. I don’t see any problems with the appointment.
Raffle to play in an 11-a-side game at Celtic Park
An incredible opportunity to play on the hallowed turf at Celtic Park around the end of the current season 2017-18, in Club sponsor Intelligent Car Leasing’s match.
You will be provided with complimentary Celtic kit and receive the full match-day experience including arrival through the front door, access to the dressing room and proudly walking down the tunnel to enter the famous field of play.
Both squads will be managed by a former Celtic player. Date 16 May, 11:00 kick off. All monies raised will be donated to Celtic FC Foundation, a registered Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (number SC024648).
To enter the raffle, make a minimum donation of £5 to the Foundation at this MyDonate page. Then send your donation confirmation email to this address: celticquicknews@gmail.com
The opportunity to play on Celtic Park is just beyond words. I did it a few years ago, the memories will live forever, as will the photographs. The experience of preparing in the dressing room, as so many greats have done before, was fabulous.
You can enter for yourself, or gift the prize to someone you know aged 18 or over. Competition closes at 15:00 this Friday, 27th.
Good luck!

Pog,,
Budweiser not to be confused with Czech Budvar is an American brew brewed by Anheuser Busch. It is undoubtedly the shittiest beer on the planet.
A true story.
Uncle Jim goes to Budweiser factory to get a tour.
At the end he ends up in the tourist bar within the factory.
All through the tour they are taking potshots at their perceived rival Miller.
When its Uncle Jims time for a pint he joke gimme a pint of miller.
Barman hands him empty glass,,points at male bathroom and says,,
take that in there flush the toilet and catch that water and youve got a pint of miller !
The same uncle told me when he was young was asked a buddy about where to go on date night and was told to go see the kid who breaks his guitar strings.
He went and there were 12 people there.
The curtain comes up, the kid, a good looking boy , looks dissapaointed, counts the people, nods, sits back and used its as a finetuning practice session. Last song true enough he breaks his guitar strings, smiles and leaves.
That kids name was Elvis Presley. oh for those strings now which everyone ignored.
His daughter tells me of getting put into the bath and then Sunday best despite the fact it wasnt Sunday. She couldnt understand what was happening when the whole entire family dressed like a Sunday got into the car and drove downtown then parked and waited.
30 minutes later she was placed on Uncle JIms shoulders and waved to JFK .
30 minutes later in the car on the drive home Uncle JIm went white and pulled the car over and turned the radio up. She says the house they parked outside ran out crying and hugged him. The streets filled instantly.
God Bless JFK.
Steven Gerrard is sitting there thinking:
* Skint beyond belief
* Have no credit facilities
* Earn only a pittance from TV revenue
* Earn only a pittance from domestic competition revenue
* Have only one real source of income – the fans
* Season Ticket money covers the wage bill and not much else
* Indebted to the tune of £18m in crisis loans
* In the grip of a dishonest absentee landlord crook
* Being overseen by a clueless board of stuck-in-the-headlights pure ragin amateurs
* Have no manager and little prospect of being able to afford a good one
* Have a playing squad of journeymen duffers
* Back-to-back empty trophy cabinets
* Will struggle badly to qualify for European football proper
* Will have to borrow further to keep the lights on
* Have no other sizeable revenue streams
* Have no prospect of being able to change circumstances, anytime soon
* Known as Raingurz so as to prevent social unrest
