No one can touch the bookies when it comes to promoting their business. One week into the winter break a simple statement saying they suspended betting on Newco being relegated drew interest to the Scottish football betting markets at a time when no games are being played.
Even if they suffered an insolvency event, their 15 point penalty (new club/same club debate does not matter as Rangers insolvency event happened more than 5 years ago) would leave them seventh in the table. Lots can go wrong at a club in administration but Newco are safe from relegation and bookies would be happy to price the risk accordingly.
And let’s remember, Coral established that removal from a league by liquidation (not on the cards, but let’s give Dave King time to work his magic) is not relegation.
Benefactors will need to be found for wages and other costs between now and the end of the season. Then there is the small matter of Dave King having to find £11m to offer shareholders. Factor in his reluctance to do so, the consequences of which could be quite fabulous, and you know why an insolvency event at the five year old incorporated entity occupies so many minds.
Either Dave King makes good on his £50m promises or administration and maybe worse (better) is in the post, but not relegation. You can put money on it.
The CQN Podcast: A Celtic State of Mind (EP28) with former Celtic director Tom Grant
Paul John Dykes and Kevin Graham are joined by Celtic’s ex-director, Tom Grant, who offers a fascinating insight into the running of the club in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tom Grant explains exactly why Celtic refused to complete the Mo Johnston transfer in 1989, and lifts the lid on audacious efforts by Billy McNeill to recruit Peter Beardsley and Steve Bruce.
Tom Grant also dissects his relationship with Fergus McCann, and the impact of the ‘Celts For Change’ movement in overturning the ‘family dynasty’ board in 1994.
Jim Craig made two of the three goals in the 1967 European Cup Final. There’s a great wee video below for you to enjoy.

Thanks Gary67
FAO AULDHEID,

Apologises mate.

Personally I would be gutted if in house fighting
at Ipox(if to be believed) resulted in MR King being
kicked off board.
After all the millions that man has given them.
He got rid of the rats and gave MASH a bloody nose.
You have to feel for him.
The club and him were made for one another
GUTTED
Who is the “Serious Professional” down Ibrokes way that I keep reading about ?

BIG JIMMY

Happy Birthday to ACGR and CORKCELT.
Thought I had posted that already on way back from Souter Johnnies in Kirkoswald whilst sitting in Dobbies as Mrs CCB looked about!
She got next to nothing and I got lost in cyber space again.
Somebody needs to tell these clickbait sites that the huns are skint and are not ‘competing’ with anyone for these million pound players.
The Chase.
Q. Alex Ferguson played for which Glasgow ‘old firm’ teams?
Contestant A Celtic
Fool.
Happy birthday to Corkcelt and ACGR, all the best bhoys are born at this time of the year, I’m tomorrow :0)

Bit harsh.
Given his public persona, the views he’s expressed about this and that, I can understand why someone might be more inclined to associate him with Celtic than with the huns.
Please don’t let the next Admin folks be “Duff & Phelps”…
Just give us normal, every-day administrators that will do their job quietly & efficiently.
Catering for Daniel Cousin or Jelavik look-alikes should be a no-no during the process.
In fact, catering should be of the menu at Aucheshuggle…
Happy Birthday Corkcelt and ACGR.
Feliz Cumpleanos to a couple of the best posters on the blog Corky and the Carnoustie Golfer.

‘Kyle Lafferty: Hearts to appeal striker’s red card against Aberdeen’
they’ll be hoping for an Edinburgh jury then
Just seen Laffatme’s assault v Aberdeen, seriously can’t believe Hearts appealed that…
Administration ?
Just seen on Ssn that they have employed 3 more coaching staff
GENE, the auld bigoted presbyterian influence is alive and well and living in scotland.unfortunately.

Happy Birthday ACGR !

Yesterday saw what we hope will herald the death knell of the ridiculously illiberal OBaF Act. FAC have initiated an email drive whereby all MSPs within your locality can be contacted in a matter of seconds just by clicking on the link below and entering your name, address and email. This is your opportunity to play your part in sending a message to the Scottish Government that we’re football fans and not criminals.

Supporting your team is not a crime.
Mmmmm try this again!

Any help appreciated! :-)

The Sinclair and Compper signings are unusual for Celtic since O’Neill. Significant fees for seasoned pros. Does Rodgers have more sway over transfer policy? A look at Celtic recent transfer history.
Hamiltontim –
Tried that one and also one I saw earlier on Twitter but receiving ‘access denied’ message.
The automated email system is now up and running again so please start emailing your MSPs and get your ma, your da, your granny and your alsation dug on it too!
