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.

Was tidying up the laptop desktop tonight and came across a word doc. which was the minutes of a meeting with the vanguard bears and chuckles green and his chums held in early July 2012 which I had saved.
The whole thing is a hoot, with the vanguard bears lapping up all Chuckles tripe, like there will be “£30 million available by mid-July” and Imran Ahmed saying “he believed on a bad day the club was worth £50 million”.
All brilliant, but the best bit was the vanguard bears dismissal of John Brown, with a impeccable financial expert putting him right. And I quote…
” John Brown then claimed that a friend of his offered £11 million for the club before Charles Green’s consortium and that Duff and Phelps had rejected it or ignored it. This was debunked and denied by the board.
Brian Stockbridge twice explained the financial situation to Brown which appeared to go in one ear and out the other….”
Green, Ahmed and Stockbridge – saviours of the bears. Stupid stupid huns.
Doc,
Will be in touch…even though we don’t need no stinking…:O).

Looks like Celtic paid over the valuation under due process.
Who would have thought?
Listening to Julian Cope. Forgot how good he was. :)

Auldheid, this,I think, is the relevant part of the article in terms of valuation and price paid.

Auldheid,
I posted earlier that I had heard some legal site was reporting that the LNS investigation was (allegedly) discovered to be corrupt…….have you heard anything about this…..at this point purely unsubstantiated speculation….
If I’m disliked and not trusted by either GCT or Kitalba…….

A Special Day!
Tomorrow is a special day in this club’s history, every bit as important as the day
this club was formed, by ‘good men and true’!
I, cannot be there tomorrow, however, my representative will be there to add ,
his and my ‘voice’, in thanksgiving, to a remarkable man, who even living his life
quietly a continent away, rose to an ‘idea’, ‘that someone had planted in his mind
years before’, without himself even being aware of it, got on a plane!
The rest is history, as they say, I say that is what he was really born to do!
Mr McCann, thank you! God Bless. Enjoy!
H.H.

I’ll leave that to ecobhoy on TSFM who has done a wonderful job undermining the daft claims they make.
His stuff on coal mines around CP (Westhorn) required some digging. :)

Auldheid,

===================
Not so much corrupt as corrupted. The legal aspect comes from it being reported to the SPFL lawyers to investigate the evidence supplied to them

Just shows how rubbish our board (bored to some) are. We overpaid for Lennoxtown.
Time the board (bored) were replaced.

Ah, will read it now….. If confirmed, there will be no hiding place for any of them
Auldheid:
I don’t have a lot of time for TSFM, in the sense that I just don’t have enough hours in the day. Often reading on there takes me off on time-consuming tangents. However, when on there I always read ecobhoy, he’s got a fair and open mind.
How’s that Res: 12 progressing? Did I see you posting that Celtic have been on that particular case since 2011, or did I dream it?
Auldheid:
Are there ‘certifiable’ documents that you are aware of that implicate oor Campbell in naughty behaviour?
Auldheid:
Perchance, do you, or anybody else, have a copy of the 2000, and the 2001, RFC Annual Reports?
Maximum respect to Frances for this amazin’ tract…..

Straight outa compton.csc
Auldheid,
If confirmed, this is ‘dynamite’…… and will result in a cleansing, the ikes of which Sally has never seen……you are some mhan, a true Celt….thank you….!!!!!!!!!!!!
Night all…see that Auldheid keeping me up to this time … :)
