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.

Our posts overlapped. I’ve just proved my point there about my sharpness.
Big riddy now!

for me the likes of Brown, and Commons should be rested… not every week, but maybe now for a couple of weeks, and then maybe in and out of every 2nd game. Mulgrew has been hampered by injury and only recently returned to the side, so i would suggest he is given a run of games. James Forrest has also had an injury plagued season, so i would suggest he gets a run of games wide right. Boeriggter is the exact same on the other side. Apart from Samaras (who looks likely to leave) Boeriggter is our only natural wide left player. So for me Lennon has to now give him 5 or 6 games on the trot to see what the guy can offer. I would play Griffiths up top as the main striker, and i would give Pukki a run of 5 or 6 games in Commons position, i.e in the hole behind Griffiths. I would rest Stokes, and where i could i would bring Balde on for a lot more than the 5 – 10 minutes he currently gets.
Team would be : 4,2,3,1 of :
Matthews, Amrose, Mulgrew, Izzy
Biton, Johansen
Forrest Pukki Boeriggter
Griffiths
See what the Bhoys can do…

But it does clear the way on who has any claim on assets so stops any legal hold up .
Someone a while ago wrote on scotslaw if you take into account the Whyte & Green are in this together some things make more sense.

I can’t argue with any of that.
Maybe a young gun or two thrown into the mix.
I missed this story earlier this week but Southampton appear to be repeating their Clive Woodward experiment. Interesting to see how this pans out

We often urge Celtic to sign each and every Scottish youngster who plays one good game. It looks like identifying the right one might be a bit trickier than that.

The reality of the situation is the Lying King can do nothing to oust the Sevco board other than buy them out.
The Daily Requisitioner has provided a platform for the Glib and Shameless Liar to confuse the permanently befuddled Ibroke regulars. Season ticket sales will be down, partly because of the boycott and partly because of a hike in prices, and Sevco’s progress will be hampered by infighting.
Next December the club’s second AGM will take place and the dimwits will be full of optimism, before they are reminded they can do absolutely nothing to alter a situation they allowed to develop 20 months ago.

I don’t think winning captains was referring to the previous permanently dropped officially by Celtic old firm tag.
I have it from the best of authorities that if the New Club ever makes it to the SPL – they’ll be referred to as Rangers.
But by the time, and if they get back it’ll be The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The

You will start to stare at supporters wearing beanies to see if it is a CQn Beanie from paddybhoy1888. It’s great that you can now spot a fellow CQNer at the game!

Just saw the Van Dijk incident.
Seems like a long time since I had that sick to my stomach feeling.
Neil got it spot on.
(That) official ruined the match.
That is our referees´ greatest shame.
Has the Donut bailed out the old firm yet?

Ready when you are, CB.
O Jaysus,
You are the ultimate PHONEY.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s game , might even look out a bunnet for the occasion .
I Remember being in primary 7 at the time of the takeover and got my first season book the season when TB left . Will never forget that first time setting foot in the completed stadium. It’s a monument to one man’s vision and perseverance. Like almost all great people he had to endure hard times to get through to the other side.
I was also there that embarassing day when there was booing , and also when Brian Quinn was subjected to it. Bleak days for the support but hopefully both men now see it for what is was. Poor judgement from fans caught up in a media feeding frenzy.
What a wonderful tribute it would be on the first game of next season to have Fergus there with a full house. Selling out for CL games and benefit matches is also great but for one day it would be great for Fergus to look around and take in what he did for us.
Bochinbhoy……………Wayne Rooney’s salary works out at 43 grand-a-day. nice work if you can get it.
