I hope Neil Lennon takes the Hibs job. He’s a talented coach who has achieved far beyond the expected mark of a 44-year-old. After leaving Celtic two years ago he gave Bolton a temporary respite, rescuing them from immediate relegation before the inevitable happened a year later.
Bolton were on the slide and needed a miracle worker. Hibs, on the other hand, can surely only go one way. Managing a second successive failing club would be difficult to recover from. Easter Road has also allowed Alan Stubbs to enhance his managerial stock, despite not reaching the play-off final in either of his two seasons in charge.
Right now Hibs are a great opportunity for Neil.
No harm meant to Colin Kazim-Richards but the sight of him going through a medical in Brazil was welcome. He was one of a large number of players acquired over the last two seasons who never looked like a Celtic player, on paper, or on the field. It’s best for player and club he moves on.
What kind of times are these? Marquees deployed to protect scores of Celtic season ticket applicants from sunburn. Surely some parallel universe.

Phil Mac site unavailable?
Under attack?
They don’t like the bad news ….
Wife just seen NFL going into departure gates at Southampton with another male colleague.
Ah see Private Fraser is back ,we’re doomed ah tell you!!
Sin City Bhoy @ 4.54
My posts are that seldom I always, unfortunately, get asked the inevitable question…..and the answer is always a resounding NO (thank God)!
Agree, re using (appropriate) ex-celts to keep an eye out for far travelled talent – though we would need to be choosy about which ex-celts we listen to (Charlie Nic was always good at spotting talent, as was Frank McAvennie ;-) though would be useless at spotting a decent footballer) :-)
Now, it bugs me to read posts hoping for Zlatan (it pains me to even type his name in a link to our great club)…
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!….can we please stop embarrassing ourselves with such crap?
Crikey…next we’ll be reading posts that have us in with a shout at Messi and Suarez!!
Let’s keep it real guys, pleeaassee!
HH
Hebcelt i am merely pointing out oiur own hypocracy. We would laugh at the huns for some if the revisionism we are seeing.
Paul likes ti tqlk about moving on crao players but not why we ended up with them in the first place.
Isnt it all a bit disengenious?
Arent we supposed ro be better than this?
Just had a look on the ticketmaster website for our season tickets and the OCD in me started counting how many available seats are still left for purchase.
Section 413 – 289, Section 411 – 168, Section 412 – 113, Section 443 – 104, Section 445 – 89, Section 414 – 67
Section 409 – 53, Section 402 – 40, Section 408 – 29, Section 403 – 26, Section 437 – 23, Section 442 – 19
Section 438 – 17, Section 401 – 12, Section 439 – 8, Section 441 – 6, Sections 409/404/138 – 4
Section 410 – 3, Section 122 – 2, Sections 143/101/109/114/123/405 – 1
All in the available Seasons Tickets left available are – 1091

It’s a slight pointless exercise, it’s been changing all afternoon. At one point there was only 3 available in the whole lower tier, as I look now it’s gone back up to 10.
Phil’s article from cache …
The Admirable Warburton takes a well earned rest
Apparently there was some breathless reportage today about Ashley being “humiliated” on the Rangers Retail deal.I checked in with my Shirebrook guy, and he made a quick apology to me. This was because the last time we had spoken briefly on the phone, he had forgotten to appraise me of a development.
He said that when this advert appeared in the Times of London that there had been a quick conclave on Planet Ashley.Essentially my chap said to me that he expected another Sports Direct person to replace Big Mike on the board of Rangers Retail Limited. “This will put another layer between him and any possible litigation” he said.
That possible legal action was characterised by one senior Sevco employee recently as “insane”. What I suspect IS being prepared at Shirebrook is a rather large invoice for unsold merchandise. It will be in the hundreds of thousands as opposed to millions. However, given the tight margins at Sevco, it will not be a welcome missive.
That’s for sure.
As of this morning, I am told that no one in Ibrox had heard from the Admirable Warburton since immediately after the Scottish Cup final. Some people at the Big House believe that they have seen the last of the ex-City trader. However, I’m sure that there is a perfectly innocent explanation to him being incommunicado as opposed to being in Govan.
It is heartening to know that this very well run football club can afford their supremo that degree of peace and quiet to recharge his dignified batteries. Chapeau!
Once he does re-emerge all refreshed and ready to have a tilt at the SPFL Premiership then no doubt the intrepid Fitba Fourth Estate will have lots of questions for him. They night want to ask him about his transfer budget and his own remuneration package.
If any of these award winning types want a pointer or two then the terms “capital budget” and “operating budget” would be good terms to bring up in conversation with the ex-City trader. They certainly will be familiar to him. The Admirable Warburton knows that the sums at Ibrox do not add up.
Regular readers here will know of the seasonal SEvco financial crisis. This has been extant since February 2014.
Moreover, the ex-City trader has told the chaps in the Blue Room that he will need a bigger squad for the top flight. So far this has not happened.
Meanwhile across the city Celtic struggle to cope with the ignominy of season ticket queues a REAL transfer budget and a new manager who has English Premier League experience.
There are times when I almost feel sorry for the stenographers.

Now back to 4. Essentially sold out though.
Sitting here in sunny,red hot Costa Blanca not a happy bunny! Just found out from daughter No.1 that she hasn’t got a season ticket for the forthcoming season DESPITE BEING ON A LIST OF THOSE WISHING A ST FOR 2016-17 SINCE MARCH!! A strong e-mail to Angela at the TO who told daughter that was the way and that she (Lesley not Angela ) was on the ‘waiting list’ Load of tosh! Worse I changed my ST from Full to Concession. More bloody hassle. Breweries and organisation spring to mind!
Weeminger
I’m not counting them again lol

Gie yer arse a Carmel ffs
Greetin faced bassa at times so ye are :)
* Mr Mourinho shouted the Portuguese phrase “filha da puta” at her (Dr Carneiro), which means “daughter of a whore”.
* Mr Mourinho conceded that he used the term.
*The (English) FA ruled “the words used do not constitute discriminatory language”.
Maybe The (Scottish) FA isn’t so bad…..
No wait, scrub that.
Oh! and don’t panic.

Lazy journalism?
Chasing down the SFA who refused to answer questions from the Resolution 12 guys for years.
Crowd funding an ad campaign and despite a blocking campaign got the ad approved in Swiss newspaper on the day of the SFA AGM.
Providing an opportunity to influence what happens next at UEFA. The four guys have fulfilled their objectives getting it to UEFA.
Having a commitment from Celtic that they will speak. The sooner the better. BRTH has ants in his pants waiting.
Realising that the same club myth can be blown away here and briefing other sites on this so they can attack on their flanks, some like James Forrest of this parish with considerable style.
Dealing with media who have been required to say nothing about Res12.
Getting ready to utilise the shameful 5 Way Agreement against them all.
Organising a nice logo and then selling and fulfilling tshirts to support four guys who have got deeper and deeper into this financially and need our help. What size will I keep for you?
Or are we too lazy to bother?
If Josie said that he should get his arse booted
Paranormal activity at Silverburn Shopping Centre. Drat , it’s a wuman dressed in black. For a minute I thought the riddle of where the loaf had disappeared to had been solved.
Anyway I bet Bomber Brown charges more to haunt a hoose than she does.
No disrespect to any ghosts intended.
HH.
Masty i think consistency is important in good times and bad. Something that our host and indeed many in the blog seem to have misplaced.
A weird inverted sense of triumphalism has emergee.
Even though not that much has qctuqlly changed.
I hope paul has loads of squirrels left cos he will need every last one of them.
Making mistakes is inevitable. Not leqrning from them is unforgivable.
Cqn doewnt even wqnt to talk about mistqkes.
Lazy lazy journalsim……..

How did you spend the rest of the day?

WC has just answered some of your concerns, obviously patience is summit you don’t possess nothing wrong in celebrating selling the place out.

Answering fan mail from Zombies. They seem to have taken a dislike to me for some reason or other. No idea why!
Not arsed about Neil Lennon’s career in football. Did work for us then left. That’s it.
Do you not have staff for such things!
I for one not happy with Celtic selling out most areas of ground.
I like to spend first half watching game from 409,second half roon at big G’s in 442.

Zlatan on SSN says he is not moving for the money….
Lennon to Hibs?
Took a gamble going to Bolton, IMO.
Commendable first season, but on a hiding to nothing last season.
Now finds himself out of work, and nobody in England is chapping at his agents door. Left with the predicament of being offered the Hibs job. Does he take it, knowing success would entail promotion, and pitting his wits against his old club the following season?
Or does he hold our for a lower league English side (or offer from low level club abroad)?
Mmm. I’d prefer to be in a job, than not – but not convinced Hibs is right club for Neil. Might not be the goldfish bowl he experienced with us, but he’d still get aggro working in Scotland.
winning captains – can you post some of the ‘fan mail’ for our amusement please?

Hope there are still tickets on my couple of trips up a year.

Aye,that’s so you knew you wouldn’t be back in the pub before him and have to put your hand in your pocket :-)

We are talking about the same ghuy ?? :O)

And all this without Celtic contradicting the same club narrative.
Wonderful isn’t it!
And in a couple of years time it will be just like nothing ever happened.
Wait and see.
Another scorcher in Berlin. Anyway nice cold Pilsner in front of me so life is good.
WINNING CAPTAINS keep up the good work Mair t-shirts can be ordered as required. Nobody should be out of pocket for this campaign.
VP – lol. Hope you are well – exciting times ahead for next season. Hope to see you in Chapmans sometime soon. Give my best to Big G. Hail Hail
STV lead with the Mike Ashley grilling.
Why? Because of implications with his Scottish workforce?
Nah. Because of his connection with ‘the Rangers’ of course…
By the way – that was some performance by MASH. Brilliantly done. Giving the talking heids their position, making them feel valid and imposing, that their questions and critique were having an effect on this big, somewhat clumsy ingenue who was manfully trying to cope with the scale and speed of his everday business’ rise to household name plc.
Sheer Khan doing a very believable impersonation of Baloo Bear.
As a serial quitter why oh why does neganon get the attention he does? Surely no one considers it to be warranted.
