It’s ‘get back on the horse’ time for Celtic tomorrow when they face Inverness at Celtic Park. The Highlanders will arrive with a different type of momentum about them from the home team. On their last outing Celtic conceded a league goal and lost a league game for the first time since before Jock Stein’s arrival in 1965*. They are now out of all three cup competitions and have an unassailable 19 point lead in the league. Talk in some places has already turned to giving the younger players an outing.
By contrast it’s all kicking off for Inverness, who humbled Hearts to reach the first Celtic Park final of the season, just two weeks away. The excitement in Inverness is palpable. Betting odds are seldom generous on Celtic at home but with all the sub-currents surrounding this one I’d prefer not to predict an outcome.
What we need to do is match the energy of Inverness and ensure our passing and movement remains crisp.
If you are tempted into a bet, don’t look past Kris Commons to get things moving. He is our go-to guy when we’re looking for an ignition button. Kris has been phenomenal in front of goal this season but he has failed to score in four outings. The last time this happened was 51 weeks ago. My bet is that he can’t wait to get on the field and put things right.
The outstanding Celtic Graves Society are breathing life into the memory of Peter Dowds, who played for Celtic from 1889. Writing in 1936, Willie Maley wrote about Peter, “He did not find the ball. Nothing so common. It found him.”
A short ceremony will take place at Peter’s grave, at Abbey Cemetery, Elderslie, at 11:30 tomorrow. If you live in the area or can make it along, please do so. You will hear from Jim Craig and others, and get infused with our early history in a way you’ll never do sitting at a screen. Details here.
There is a little over two weeks to go before the CQteN St Patrick’s Night Dinner on Friday, 14 March, at the Kerrydale Suite, Celtic Park. The beneficiary of the night will be Kholoni Primary School, Malawi, where we will fund Mary’s Meals to build a kitchen for 1200 kids who currently don’t have meal facilities.
We have received some incredible assistance already, but you can get involved by ordering a personalised beanie hat, with your name on one side and CQN on the other.
Hats cost £15 each and if you order before 7 March you can collect yours at the CQteN Dinner. If you’re not attending the dinner (and why not?) the £15 will cover postage and packaging. If you ordered a Virtual Ticket, you’re personalised hat is part of your package. All profits go to the school kitchen.
Take a look at the front and back of the hats. To order, email hatfrompat@celticquicknews.co.uk with name, whether you are attending CQteN and address if not, and I’ll get your message to Pat.

Wayne Rooney to get 300K a week. You think he would be happy with some rope and an old tyre to play with.
Frankie Boyle

BMCUW,
count me in this time,you have my details
My bet would be on a 4-1 win with LG bagging a couple, KC and Balde with the others.
Good afternoon misanthropes and attention seekers. :)
Paul67,
Best price on Kris as first scorer 7/2.

Here’s hoping you are right.
HAIL! HAIL!

I think I know who you are…..:)
Are you going to CQN10?
The E-Tims diary is worth a read today. A good overview of Fergus and the takeover..
CQTen, a wee win in Ayrshire and Rangers Mk 2 in admin. Sounds like it’s going to be a good night.
BMCUW
Am in, for May 10.
My son’s 21st on the 7th. Will drag the youngster along to meet some fine Tims.
BMCUW,
i’d say put me down for the day ooooooooooot, but then all you’d see would be the posts from all the usual suspects lining up to slaughter me….
So lets just leave it at “sounds a good day out, no doubt i’ll text you on the day from somewhere on t’other side of the world”.
Then if i do actually make it, i can smugly enjoy the looks of shock on the faces of aforementioned usual suspects
:-)
HAIL! HAIL!

Have Celtic appealed VVD’s sending off.
If not why not?
It was a yellow card at best – not malicious, not dangerous, player running away from goal and defender covering.
Why not show Thompson up ?
Celtic have appealed.
charliemac
They have appealed. He is available for tomorrow and hearing will be on Thursday
charliemac
yes the appeal is in.
TTT
Get your excuses in early
Love
Charlie, they are appealing, we will lose the appeal.
Kris to bust the net the morra…
Day off, CQN, tunes, Italian coffee, huns in uproar, life is good!

I would rather it didn’t happen at all ..
Celtic Football Club@celticfc·
Celtic Under-20s will take on their R*ng*rs counterparts at Ibrox on Monday, March 31. Kick off 7pm. (MH)
———————————-
I know its petty but I would prefer anything official by the club to refer to the newclub as THE r*nk*rs.
BMCUW
count me in for May 10th :)) for a couple of hrs anyway.
there is no way we will win the appeal
the decision was 50-50 (or 90-10 if its a celtic player involved)
you couldnt say the ref was definately wrong in his interpertation of the rule in that circumstance, no doubt he will interpret it a different way in a different game
however, there is a difference between it being possibly just a yellow, and the ref being wrong under the rules of the game
Till later all
Proudbhoy
I have some Parish duties to do, a candle will be lit for your good ladies recovery in St Bernards shortly.
Does she have one of those wee bells to ring to keep you running after her :)))
charliemac @12.35 hrs.
Personally I’m surprised that Celtic have appealed. More contentious decisions than this have been ignored when we shouldn’t have.
I can see why the red card was given and I doubt the appeal will be successful. VVD is available for tomorrow and its possible that this was part of the thinking.
The consensus of fans I spoke to in Malone’s ( Aberdeen ) immediately after the game, without the benefit of BBC Alba reluctantly thought it was the correct decision.
HH.
Fergus McCann is my hero. There I’ve said it.
I’ve just got myself one of those new fangled HTC 500 phones… and it burns up my interweb allowance like crazy, and thats just on here.. any tips? I’ve closed down loads of app type things but its still motoring away..
Also, anyone got any suggestions for decent twitter feeds I should follow, I’ve got CQN, Phil, Fishal site so far… don’t have to be footie related.
Afternoon, got a wee half day and get home to a list of suggestions from the better half And CQN is not listed , !!!!!!
Anyway time for a quick catch up , hopefully we will get a good game tomorrow with ICT not parking the bus. Kris has been quiet of late so maybe due a goal ,
Also expecting some recognition for the bunnet, 20 years on
Finally thanks for the update from auldheid and also for keeping the pressure on spfl on nimmo carve up
Right better get on with the list , now where did I put it , laters
good after noon CQN just back from a SCOPE charity shop opening by
tommy boyd tv and radio STAR well he was today , nice chap great name ,
had the wife in Q A hospital cosham yesterday for chemo 1st session ( she is fine)

H.H.
Sold out the remaining CQTEN tickets last night but just heard that two places are now available as someone can’t now make it along. If anyone is looking for two tickets for CQTEN please let me know – david@CQNMagazine.com
Last chance if you want to come along!
I know we will lose the appeal
If the appeal is on the basis that the referee’s split second judgement was honest then we can’t win (even tho’ it wasn’t honest)
If it is on the technical decision within the rules I think we would have a very strong case (and lose anyway)
Paul,
I hope you haven’t just cursed oor KC.
A bit like the match day program often featuring a guy who doesn’t play;)
67heaven, No mate, I aint going to cqn10. I doubt you know me. I barely know maself. ;p
Rm at it’s best
……..
In case of admin? Guaranteeing a nice profit on the relatively small loan should as is being mentioned by some admin is on the cards?
my view is we are being screwed sadly and some will take this as me being a “rebel” “fenian” or anything else you want to label me but in all honesty i just get the feeling we are about to be screwed over for the second time. I believe the situation to be critical (that’s my opinion) but being a scheme lad you can tend to sense when folk are at it.
now id like for the lawman or someone who knows there stuff to tell me it ain’t possible but to me at this moment in time the breeks are getting full and in twitchy as f***. I lay no blame at wallaces door but lets just hope that talk of good interim accounts are right and talk of sounding out administrators is bullsh**.
only the meet thoughts of a jack of all trades and not a master accountant/tax expert
……..
You should have itchy pants.
DK is creating the unrest and financial uncertainty that could lead us to admin 2.
……..
I understand where you’re coming from. The whole thing makes me feel mighty uneasy, but f**k it what do I know. I think sometimes instinct can be a good thing, but my instincts about Dave King are not good either. Don’t trust any of these c**** at the moment.
……..
Tick Tock
Charlie mac,
I can’t see us winning the appeal either. Not because I think it was a red. More because I can accept both sides to it and it’s split even our own fans. Refs have a very difficult job (hic)
That said, I don’t think they will see this as frivolous and increase it either.
