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.

At the Primal Scream gig at the Barrowlands December 2012 Mani said that one of the songs was for Neil Lennon.
Up there with Depeche Mode doing JCGE at the Hydro last year

These Globalists are doing their best BUT they will fail.
They will fail because of the communities that will resist them through LOVE and togetherness?
Auldheid and Kitalba both talk about the same thing but in different tongues.

Your post at 16.41 regards Dave Kings taxable earnings, (using exchange rates of the day) R200 Mill equates to £20 Mill., give or take a bob or two. Strange that eh!

Aye, that Joanna’s, or what is left of it. Looks like it took out Nero’s and the Casino too.

Ole Euro*celebrityspottersupremo*Champs67 clocked him at the Gazebo, but he couldn’t remember the name of the group, bjmac helped him out.
The Easdales/laxey £1.5 million loan in lieu of shares
was made to keep them afloat until ST money came in.
Now that ST money looks unlikely to be forthcoming administration
will be inevitable.
I said months ago that they will be in admin by April
and they will take the points deduction which is morally reprehensible.
The SFAs newest club is on the precipice of a financial meltdown.
The SFA must take action against this club before it does more harm.

re- hotmail, I was locked out mine today but answered security question then prompted to change password and all was ok, don’t know if that helps you.
SOAL, you’re full of ideas tonight buddy, a live stream from CQteN on Celtic TV, a pay per view event. Also would have to be an 18 rated event, scare the living day lights out of the kids.
DD,
Cider man myself and have been told it’s the worst drink to take organ wise, maybe time I changed to stout.
Watching one flew over the cuckoo’s nest and can’t help but think it’s like the ipox boardroom.
Doc as long as yourself and HT only appear after the watershed everything will be fine.
Trust me

Does everybody just get virtual tickets? *hasn’t seen one yet*
I wouldn’t do that to a nice beanie hat.

TSOAL Mani was in the Celtic view about 10 years ago. Said one of the best weekends of his life was coming to Glasgow for a gig, can’t remember if it was Primal Scream or Oasis, but either way himself and the Gallagher brothers found themselves backstage celebrating the 6-2 game in true Gaelic style.

GerryBhoy @ 20.57,
I think mentioning the ” leg-end ” that was Seeeboo sorry Soooness was a step too far even in jest.
Incidentally a quick question ” Give me a song with Souness in it” ?
Slightly baffled then a brainwave ” As soon as I wake up every night, every day————
Ah well hat, gloves, coat, taxi and good night to all.
Noooooooooooooo!
