New Balance take over from Nike this summer as Celtic’s official kit partner and main sponsor. The US sportswear firm have along heritage in technical products, like running shoes, with less of a legacy in the leisurewear market than the likes of Nike, but this move, as well as a recent deal to partner Liverpool, indicates a strong commitment to become a major player in the football marketplace.
Both the Celtic and Liverpool contracts have been advertised as potentially record deals for the respective clubs, although each club declined to put a figure on the value, or the contract period in their official statements. It’s likely that a significant part of the contract fee will depend on Champions League qualification.
Unconfirmed reports put the size of the deal at £29m, cash that other clubs have securitised off to a retailer.
Last call today for CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, which takes place next Friday, 13 March, at the Kerrydale Suite. After the dinner we have a Q&A with Packy Bonnar, Tommy Coyne, Joe Miller and Tom Boyd. We have Archie Macpherson speaking about Jock Stein on the 50th anniversary of him becoming manager, and song from Patricia Ferns.
The object of the night is to raise money to build another school kitchen for Mary’s Meals in Malawi. Kris Commons’ partner, Lisa Hague, will also join us. She will be auctioning an incredible prize of a signed Ronny Deila jersey, signed Kris Commons boots and match hospitality in the Players’ Lounge for the Marie Curie Hospice in Glasgow.
Tickets will be posted out over the next few days, email me if you’re still looking, celticquicknews@gmail.com we’re closing the book tomorrow.

PFayr. I agree with you also how the hun fans regard Ashley but wither they like it or not there future is linked to him and his Company Sports Direct. He is going no where soon so if it where me I would get him on board rather than have him outside and not knowing his next move.I also believe it will only be 6 months maybe less before King is getting it in the neck from the peeple.They are deluded and think King is going to pour millions into there club in order to get them back to the top sooner rather than later and in my opinion that is just not going to happen. H.H.
Tom mclaughlin – the only good (famous) Australians are:
Scott McDonald
Clive James
Natalie Imbruglia
The guys from “Flight of the Conchords”
Tony Abbott
Paul Hogan
Harold Bishop
Mel Gibson
There may be other good cobbers, this is not an exclusive list. (thumbsup)

2-3 years ago the Rowantree Foundation released a report on poverty in Scotland. Part of their findings was that sectarianism remains a factor in shaping the distribution of wealth in Scotland, mainly through reluctance to employ Catholics in small to medium size companies. This from an independent and impartial source.

philvisreturns,
The guys from “Flight of the Conchords” are New Zealanders not Aussies

Re oz …I think you are wrong…for a new country multi-culturalism is working as well as any other “western” country …a new country, shaking off a dark past but institutionally racist I think not….
JonnyRambo67 –
I agree. Lived in Australia for 10 years. Loved it. Spoke to a young couple – niece and husband – a few weeks ago, who talked about emigrating to Oz and asked for my advice. I told them to go for it.
A beautiful and amazing country with an abundance of opportunities.
Guys, techie help please.

Two things.
Re the Ashley loan.
I am not sure that a loan can contain provisions which allow the lender to appoint board members and so defeat the provisions of the companies acts and the wishes of the shareholders.
If there is no other documents to support the appointment of the directors I would challenge that as ultra vires.
However, that would then bring into question the loan provisions and possibly trigger a demand for immediate repayment which might be a disaster or it might be a plan.
Dunno — den of thieves and all that.
Re the incident you mention in Bothwell.
I believe I know of the incident you are talking about but you are on the wrong publican in this instance I believe.

That the bit about checking the drawer before opening, and also checking the kettle? Read that with an “astounded of forehead” look on my face, I can’t believe how low a national “newspaper” (and I use newspaper in the loosest sense) would sink to curry favour…
Stairheedrammy – seems hard to believe, given that Catholic Scots achieved parity of income and education with non-Catholic Scots by the end of the last century.
I don’t think sectarianism is a major factor in hiring any more. Doesn’t mean it has gone away entirely though. (thumbsup)

Elle MacPherson.

I would never compare having to beg for soup to feed my starving children with a fat oaf wrapped in a union jack calling me a Fenian Bastard. Why do you . . . every day?
Brilliant
Hats off
You do realise you are a forelock tugging msm brainwashed self loather
(See I didn’t mention eating soup down the back of the bus)
More precisely I’m sure they found anti Irish Catholic discrimination. Looks like Neganon has some evidence on his side, and not just opinion.

Would suggest this loan is slightly different from a bank loan, and conditions agreed are failsafe ….HH ……
Malc
Thats the one – its back up now:)
Some of the reporting is hilarious – so much for maintaining a neutral stance eh…
HH
Phillvis, they suggested that sectarian discrimination was probably diminishing, but was still an influence. They seemed surprised that it was managers in these companies who openly admitted to sectarian employment practices.

click on your finder window . under that you’ll see applications. open that and mackeeper should be inside . drag to trash and reboot

For those who haven’t seen it, check my Twitter timeline @MalcolmHutcheon – I’d post a link to it direct but dunno how! (shameless plug for more followers will be along any second now… ;) )

Up until approximately 15 years ago the most prevalent form of racism in Scotland was anti Irish racism.
The influx of refugees and those seeking asylum resulted in the figures for anti Irish racist slipping down the table.
That doesn’t mean it has gone away.

Tried that pal, theres no application called mackeeper
Personally, I am now hoping MASH admits defeat, pulls his £5M loan and calls in the already existing £5M loan with immediate effect. Wonder how long Glib’s reign would last if he did…
The Evening Times says there will be a big huns away support at Cowdenbeath and the next 6 home games at Ibrokes will be full houses due to the feel good factor and there will be no more chanting about the board.I wonder how long that will last.H.H.
Has King David looked under the bunnet yit?

M6bhoy,
You have made the best argument for summer football I have heard for some time. I don’t mean that disrespectfully but I believe that would encourage our missing fans back. Another argument I heard being discussed last night ( which I totally agree with) is that in summer football we would not be in direct competition with the more glamorous English product.
By changing to summer football our kick off times would also be better and imo we would attract more tv viewers from the rest of the UK and would be in a more powerful negotiating position for a better deal.

Try Adwaremedic and if you installed Mackeeper uninstall it and feck it right off, look in Activity monitor for Zeobit, that’s the one behind Mackeeper..
I run Adblock all the time to avoid annoying pop ups and E-lite adverts:)))

Swindonbhoy – Mel Gibson is Australian. I saw him in a travel documentary about Australia, where he defeated Lord Humungus. (thumbsup)
