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.

This is the kind of news you don’t see in the chip wrappers.
An interesting piece on the CEO of Ladbrokes (I read on his profile previously that he has a SB at Celtic Park). Jim Mullen, Celtic supporter and ex-employee of Oldco.
DD is a significant shareholder in Ladbrokes and was opposed the recent merger with Coral.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/leisure/12070369/Ladbrokes-boss-makes-the-biggest-gamble-of-his-career.html
According to Wiki (I know but I short of time).
“From 2007 onwards billionaire John Magnier and his business partner racing tycoon JP McManus have quietly been building a stake in Ladbrokes estimated to be more than 10%.In early 2008 it was discovered that another associate of Magnier’s, Joe Lewis, had been building a stake now estimated to be approximately 7%.”
Remember Joe Lewis? £40m into Oldco in 1997?

Daily Reprobate reporting that Real Madrid are closing in on Celtic’s record of 62 games undefeated.
Madrid have gone 40.
TNS are also on some kind of run that also threatens Celtic’s record.
No dis-respect to TNS but I stopped reading after learning Madrid only have to go another 23 games without losing to overtake us.
You cannot make this nonsense up.
Meanwhile over at the swamp… Davie Weir will be raging because Celtic are going to win the league again, this according to Barry Ferguson.

If Celtic were only awarded 2pts for a win instead of 3 they’d still be top of the Premiership on goal difference with a game in hand….

I am on my way back from work and have just read the link u posted from Scotzine regards the Sevconian reaction to the damage made to the toilets in Paradise.
Unbelievably, the comments of the majority posting seem sane and rational !!!
Are u sure they are real Sevconians?
Maybe they are waking up to their board and it’s inadequacies and the thuggish sectarian elements that follow them?
Am I hoping for too much?
I’m totally gobsmacked as I thought that none one Sevconian was capable of reasonable , rational and sane conversation!

my nephew just sent me e mail saying same thing.there is a bald guy in toilets who looks like me.my wife says no but the 3 grandkids say yes. who to beleive.
Celtic comment on allegations about damage at Ibrox on Hogmanay:
Celtic told Press Association Sport: “As far as we are concerned the matter regarding payment for the significant damage caused to Celtic Park has been resolved. We have not been informed of any major damage whatsoever caused at Ibrox stadium.”
In other words, STFU Level 5 and SMSM.
