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.

BRTH,
I have not booked anything in Lisbon as yet. I was waiting to see where the guys were congregating and try to tag along.

I had a look at the Hun’s website to see if they were saying anything about bog gate money but no mention. However I did notice a number of tabs about this German game, you would think it was a CL game, there’s even a pay channel showing it, you just have to laugh :0)
Kitalba –
Very sorry to hear about your health issue.
I had the radical prostatectomy – prostate removal – in Australia in September 2013. I get the PSA blood test every 6 months and am still cancer-free more than 3 years after surgery.
You can beat this.
Good luck to you.
the winter break’s well timed with the poxy weather
Man City in danger of being cited on behalf of LNS to demonstrate that amount spent does not translate into sporting advantage.
FRED COLON and EUROCHAMPS67:
Passed your respective e-mail addys to BRTH
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
As Red Bull go 1 up..
Bada
Just flicked over to Huns game as they went one down,Commentator then wonders what Rangers response will be as its ” not often they find themselves behind”
Have they not suffered enough
A historic day for RB Leipzig as they come up against a club who are newer than they are…..
I’m confident that Sevco will be able to pull this tie around when they bring the Germans to fortress Ibrox for the return leg.
Would that put them in the Champions league quarters?
GLASSTWOTHIRDSFULL
Difference is,RB deny their history. TRIFCo found theirs in a lucky bag.
I’ve been googling what PR firms do for a while. I reckon certain media experts will have nothing to do this month so might try to be innovative! This is the best I got

That sounds like my CV,I’ve missed my vocation!
2-0 Red Bull
Oliver Burke scores
The Wee Tim makes it two…
So Sevco Huns 2-0 down at HT against Another German Team in the first leg of Grand European Big Deal Cup.
Second leg scheduled for some time in the 2020s.
Snow and freezing temperatures – how sad, what a shame, never mind !
Half time in the Newropean Cup tie in Leipzig, 2-0 to the home side. RB treating the game like a training session, their keeper may need replaced as he possibly has hyperthermia. Great goal from Ollie Burke.
Red Bulls two up at half time.
Predictable Sevco display:
Trying to play out from the back, and failing consistently.
Tavernier finding new ways to stand out of position
Miller running around like a demented bluebottle in a Jeely jar
Pace totally kills them. A great time to have just about the paciest Celtic team in history.
4-0 Everton. Surely Pep is a goner. Russ Abbot to save the day.
overseasbhoy
Dont care who they hire as long as it is not BR
Commentator mispronouncing Roten as “rotten”……
Hahahahaha which is wit the Huns are…..their new Arsenal ace is total pish….
Hoopy days …
Jobo why wis this game no on the picks???? Hahahahaha
Jokers everywhere you look….
Braw.
Robbie Savage is the man to save Citeh, after all he has been telling Pep what to do all season.
Man city lose 4-0.
Commentator’s saying that the goals lost are more of the same and the team just does not seem to learn.
Not surprised.
I said years ago that Pep had been sussed and he has no plan B.
They will be lucky to get a top 4 spot this season.
HUN MEDIA IS FUNNY.

Anyone know?
bmcuwp :>
Honestly,premier TV have this charade billed as a ‘massive friendly’,and before I am billed as obsessed by the saw dust between the ears brigade,let me say this ‘I couldn’t care less. 4 nothing to the Germans, cert.
Hunderbirds are Gone
You need to get with it Timmy, it’s ra gers that are making them look crap
HH
Looks like the Sevco Euro dream is over
3-0 to the Germans noo
Drei zero. Wunderbar :)))
No amount of hun spin will make their new loans out to be anything other than pish.
Magic so it is
Orcs getting shredded now…
