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!

Until this season I have been going to Hampden for the semis and finals. I’m with Eurochamps on the ‘whit’s the total cost, Tom’ approach. I think the actual ticket price is £30 and, compared with what I’m hearing for the ole FA Cup final, I’d say £30 was very reasonable. If you buy online the total cost is £38.50 I think. Would some folk have been happier if the ticket price was £35 and the admin charges £3.50? It’s all mind games. Almost like the folk who still insist on carrying 2 pairs of £20 jeans and a £8 shirt from Primark to their car rather than paying 5p for a carrier. If the short had cost £8.05 I’m sure they’d still have bought it

here we go again predicting the score and we will hump them.
never a good idea especially as we are having trouble scoring.
Delaneys Dunky: left you a voice mail but not sure if it’s the right number.
as i have said previously leave score predictions alone and let the team do the talking on the park.
right
so now we’re not even allowed to go to the bookies and predict a victory for celtic by way of a bet
honestly…

Ron that said what do you think the score will be?

3-1 to us on Sunday, yes I am being generous by giving them a goal, but I think they will get a penalty at some point.

So Ruth Davidson is pregnant.
I’d laugh if the sperm donor is Methadone Mick or wee Leigh ????????

POG I don’t think Super Leigh would even let his sperm be used on her.
That said it would be hilarious if the wean looked like Mr Burns fae the Simpsons just like its doner Da Leigh.
I wish her awe the best really
D. :)
Mick’s no happy
God bless wee Alfie. Take care of him.
There’s somebody who is not happy with Ruth’s good news.
“Former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe has attacked the Duke of Cambridge and Meghan Markle for saying they want to prioritise LGBT+ rights.”
I personally think they should be prioritising the rights of the poor to a better life whether they be Heterosexual or LGBT.

I think a serial diver (including a beauty v mighty Andorra) would be very appropriate for Temporary Licence FC
DAVID66 good evening my fellow tim, we are all okay hope you and cheeko are fine, just thinking david, about ron67s comment, are we being too cocky, dont know the answer help.lol.
A 1 nil pummel of the hummel would do me grand, I’m not going so if you are, give the celts a roar for me, 7 iar , 7ia fuppin r ! FUPPIN AMAZIN!!!
bawbagbawbagbawbag
BIg Packy I don’t know about that. I am being realistic and going player for player they should not be able to touch us. We are supporters and we support, nothing cocky about it. I realise that in one off games anything can happen, but 3-1 to us, for me.
D :)
I HATE ALL THIS MADE6UP MEDIA SPECULATION… that drags on for days.
Just let one SMSM “reporter” go and ask SG the question: Interested : Y or N ?
Sadly,I can’t think of a “newspaper” in Scotland that would accurately report the answer…
… can’t blame the “reporter” (if any…).
Meanwhile…I’m still thinking…
Is Mr King making offers for those shares or not…?
Bada if you lurking big Judith absolutely still tonight HH?
DAVID66, ill take that scoreline, that was me just thinking when i used to go regularly in the late sixties early seventies, we could not be over confident then, because they had players like henderson and willie johnston who could hurt us.hh.

=====================================
Just to clarify the £1.50 internet charge.
After a frustrating hour and a half this morning I eventually secured 4 tickets for Section F,how the Sections in the main Stand were sold out beats me unless 4 together beat the system.
However my charges on TOP of the ticket prices,were:
Internet charge £1.50 PER ticket
Special delivery £7.00
Total £13.
As it is all completed at the same time I do not understand a charge per ticket ,It should be per transaction.
And of course the £7 charge is a joke as I have never signed for any previous deliveries.
I happily subscribe to Foundation events, but feel like I am being screwed here for no good reason.
I see that ticket charges are being discussed again,
I bought 3 tickets for The Open last night,
no charge to print at home or to have them delivered .
Brilliant couple of days debate over at SFM.
A couple of Sevco legal chaps trying to argue Sameco, only to be repeatedly demolished by the wise men of the Truth team, ably led by our own Auldheid.
Always worth a visit.
They must be getting nervous, as the OC/NC debate had been stood down for a while.
i bet broony wins the open an awe
meant to add to my post at7.01, with the help of mr tiny wharton of course.hh.

See the comments about Gerrard going to Sevco …. I thought he was an RC … but didn’t realize his daughter’s name … wonder if she will be their mascot…. bring her into the changeroom before the game, hold hands with their kit man, …. and say the Rosary before they go on!
