You may have read a story released by Newco’s PR agent to their go-to Glove Puppet in the media about a dispute over payment for damages to Celtic Park when Newco fans made their first visit to the stadium.
I heard before the Hogmanay game that Newco would be paying the damages their fans did on that occasion, and that Celtic would pay for any damage caused by our fans Ibrox that week. What I didn’t know at the time was that Celtic unilaterally decided this would be the case.
Concerned there may be reprisals following the vandalism to Celtic Park, the club informed Newco they would let it be known that we would pay for any damage to Ibrox by visiting fans – as long as we could inspect the damage we would be charged for.
The Hogmanay match passed without incident; tea light candles were left in visiting toilets to diffuse washroom odours, Celtic were not taken up on their offer to inspect and pay for damage, none was reported to match observers, police or Celtic.
Celtic had earlier issued Newco with a request for payment for the vandalism their fans inflicted on our stadium. Payment was not received, so this week we withheld the same amount from ticket money due to Newco.
The issue is finished; no one is withholding money from Celtic. There is no story.
We’ve not had to deal with nonsense like this for four years and we’d gladly never deal with it again. The issue was placed in the media today by PR, alluding to damages Celtic offered to pay for, but which didn’t happen. Be clear on this – Celtic offered to pay for any damages but no damage was reported. The PR stunt is a deliberate attempt to damage the good reputation of Celtic fans. Is it any wonder print media sales are dropping off at such an alarming rate for some?
Let’s remember, this is the same PR used by SPFL sponsor, Ladbrokes, an unacceptable action by a representative of the league’s sponsor. It’s as though some are too angry to stomach the great news that Celtic have secured the £2.8m signing of Ivorian Kouassi Eboue without lashing out.
The club are delighted to have secured Kouassi. Despite his age, he’s first team ready, and has the character and ability to go a long way in the game. Between now and our cup finals in August, he’ll settle into Scotland and into a championship winning team.

Macjay – can I stick up for Efe Ambrose?
The man was in our central defence when we beat Barcelona in 2012.
He won the African Nations Cup, didn’t take part in the celebrations so he could fly back to Celtic Park to play against Juventus.
Yes he has made mistakes ( who didn’t) but did he ever hide? Did he feign injury, or throw a strop with the manager? Did he ever run to the press and run a bad news story about our club? Not once. He gave his all and he had to carry the burden of Scapegoat that our fans need to find. In my opinion he is one of the bravest men to wear the Hoops.
EFE AMBROSE is a Celtic hero to me.
I love the guy and the way he plays his fitba.
That day at Tynecastle showed the REAL mettle of Efe.
I wish him the very best of Luck (he won’t need it) when he leaves Glasgow Celtic…. It is obvious he does not want to.
phyliss- hear hear! He got us.
SMSM ensured he got a rough ride and highlighted any errors. Kolo’s errors vs BMG were just as bad. Who do we vilify?
Efe is Still Fighting but in the Best of ways possible.
Oor Efe
Jobo.

Wow wow wow eh
MWD,
If I may say, your sign-off at 12:44 betrays your ignorance of the difference between intelligence and ignorance.
And that is no comment on your intelligence….but it is on your ignorance of the difference.

Sorry for the delay.
Access problem.
Marvellous noble critique.
My overwhelming attitude to Efe is one of sympathy . Particularly in relation to some of the treatment meted out to him , I understand , from the stands.
The problem was not mistakes , rather high profile mistakes in big games, Yes. The one you referred to.
It`s never forgotten . I could name another player who suffered the same fate.
That`s the supporter perspective.
Brendan perhaps feels he is surplus to requirements . Who am I to argue.
Mind you , it wasn`t so long ago the blog was heralding the inevitable departure of Izzy.
We`ll have to wait and see.
Brendan wants a group of seveteen .
Some will have to go.
With our thanks.
@Pete…….Right back at ye…….
Bow wow wow
