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.

bognorbhoy oscar in my thoughts/ support the dam 5/we are all neil lennon:
St Mary’s Hospital, Portsmouth, brings back good memories. I spent a couple of great years in there. The Queen Alexandra up on the hill, likewise.
One night me and a couple of hun mates came out of Joana’s and got into a wee scrimmage with a few marines, we took a hiding and my hooter got rendered all over my face. A couple of months later I was in the Queen Alexander to have the displaced bones cut out of the airway. Four or five days after the operation I’m lying in bed when the manager of the football team and a couple of players turn up on the ward to see if I could sneak out to play in a local semi-final up at Petersfield. My hooter was still packed with the bandages, but I thought feck it, just breathe through the mouth, I’ll be okay. Our opponents… The Portsmouth marines, and I had my nose broken again in that game and had to go back to the QA and lie that I’d fallen up the stairs coming back from a walk.
We used to swim across from Fort Cumberland to Hayling Island with a couple of nurse from St. Mary’s on a Sunday morning and go horse riding on the beach and dunnes, fond memories.
Your better half is in good hands, I hope all gets well soon.
PS The Sunshine up on Havant Rd. on the way along to the QA used to be my local. A few Tims once got in there once upon a time.

I’ll be needing my heid looked at then.
I don’t have issues with the financial running of my club. Applause and wonderbra to all for that.
It is the peripheral GIRFUY to the fans and the ongoing mistreatment of sections of our support that I will alsways have a go at both Lawell and DD for. Untill they stop colluding with Mr House (he of Hilton infammy) and shafting our fans then I will dig him whenever i please.
MWD away to get his heid looked at.

That is pretty much my call on the situation,that we have an exceptionally competent board financially-and the figures prove that-but that there is a huge disconnect between them and their customers.
They rely on us turning up,we rely on them giving us a reason to do so.
Reducing the quality on the field works against them in two ways-we don’t turn up,and no-one is interested in our latest projects cos they are well poor.
And the lack of trust,well.
For such solid financial experts,they sure know how to reduce a customer base.
