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.

Yes, euphemism for “the brethren” which makes my blood boil when I have experienced how hard-nosed these same bankers are with those of us outside of the magic circle.
I succeeded despite the bastards but as well as favouring their own they try to damage those who get by on merit as that concept is anathema to them.

PeteC, it’s just a virus, I was sent an email, clicked the link and it infected my email sending it on to my contacts. If you just delete it before clicking the link you’ll be fine, but ACGR didn’t delete it, so it spreads on.
I didn’t start it by the way, someone sent it to me.

The problem arises when you find out your security email is no longer accessible, an old ntlworld one.
I’m not even saying it is you, in fact it seems like your virus is a coincidence with my situation and it is something totally different. I’ve ran latest definitions spybot and it came up A-OK.
Thinking about it, I am sure I can definitely rule out your “Alledged Virus” as noone else has complained about being locked out of their hotmail account.

Ghuys at Race Night in CSA for Sean’s Trust, great night for fantastic cause.
Our own MurdochAuldandHay won the 5th race as owner of ‘Forty Shades of Green’.
Just like the Oscars he could not be here so Lennybhoy collected his trophy, medal and his Winner’s Rosette on his behalf. Oh and a bottle of Malt…he might not see the Malt but the rest and adulation he can have…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

PeteC, I think your right, coincidence.
LennyBhoy, MurdochAuldandHay would be happy if you had the bottle.
Alfie Conn was a Stein signing. Was avidly reading the definitive Stein biography by Archie McPherson. Absolutely lapped it up, including the chapter emphasising how much he loved doing the huns.
Slowed up lately cos I know the end..

Question 7: The Anglo Scottish cup tie in 1978 against Burnley was a disaster. But who did we beat in the previous round ?
3 points for the correct answer and 2 points for the first to answer correctly

______________________________
Yes, I need to get access to it again though, apologies if you think I was blaming you, I certainly wasn’t. I was just trying to rule out as many things as possible.
Of course. Colquhoun went from Celtic to Hearts, not the other way round.
St Mirren?
