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.

from German newspaper Morgenpost (google translation unfortunately)
Rangers fans embark on crew in the Easyjet plane to Berlin
They wanted to play their team to Leipzig. In the plane, drunk and drunk drunk fans of the Glasgow Rangers flocked the crew.
On a flight from Edinburgh to Berlin-Schönefeld, drunken fans of the Scottish football club Glasgow Rangers have gazed and insulted the cabin crew. Three crew members reported after the landing of the machine on Saturday, the police reported on Sunday.
The police now investigate three passengers for insult and coercion on a sexual basis. They were released after identification of their identity. The interrogation of the suspects was still on Sunday. The Scots were on their way to a test match of the Rangers on Sunday against RB Leipzig.

There is also a video clip doing the rounds of a nest of them chanting ‘F*** the Pope’ in the middle of Manchester Airport.
My German is not very good but are they asking if they have a flight home??

What’s German for schadenfreude?

Red Bull 4 Bullsh** 0

Och that’s easy
Sevco en tour…
“Leipzig coach hugely impressed by Barrie McKay – set to launch £10m bid”?

Looks like EasyJet cabin crew reported abuse and sexual assault, three knuckle-draggers were lifted on touch-down by waiting cops, held overnight till their IDs were verified then released.
Presume they have been charged, certainly hope so.
For now, everyone connected with Rangers needs to make confident noises but even if they die, their ghost is already in enormous peril.

Administration before summer is my guess. A new basket of assets might form out of the red white and blue slurry, but it will be dead in the water from the start.
Watching this Man Ure. v Liverpool game, pretty dull stuff however Liverpool are easily the better football team.
Best league in the world right enough.
Shocking game of football it is, shocking.
Thanks be to Jesus for Celtic.
That is all I have to say.

Their problem is that Admin really doesn’t help them, they would still be in the same position, another blending is their only hope and do what they should have done in the first place.
HH
I’ve enjoyed the game.
But what do I know…………………..
Zlatan to the rescue??
Oliver Burke ,when I have seen him, reminds me of John Yogi Hughes.

It should have been done 4 years ago.
As i said.
No peace without Justice.
Justice:
Murray Mints and Bank of Scotland incahoots jailed!
All assets sold off to pay HRMC and debtors
21 trophies rescinded.
Celtic PLC traitorship assessed.
I doubt very much Craig whyte will be found guilty of Fraud. Only the lesser companies charge. Anything else may lead to justice. Not happening.
Celtic would demolish all the those Mickey Mouse English mobs, any day of the week.
Frightening thing for the opposition is that we are going to progress even further in the future.
That’s life, as old Frank Sinatra himself once said.

Nice “warm-up” for Sevco, decent result at -5 C.
Seems that Sevco fans making friends along their journey.
I just checked Smsm.. no much info so far… will check Gmsm ramorra morn…
When the zombies return to zombie land, raising zombies on both shores.
It is then that the magnificent Celtic of Glasgow win their 10th league championship on the bounce and the celebrations begin.
Big time.
HH.
I assume SSN are just repairing the “breaking news” machine as I distinctly remember Celtic losing a pre season friendly and it being reported as if we had lost a cup final.
Be interesting to see if any media outlets run with the”sexual assault” story. Seem to remember a flight being diverted to Cardiff carrying Celtic supporters back from Seville, due to Cabin Crew over reacting to some singing, was front page news in Scotland

The EPL puts me off football, over hyped and pure shoite although sometimes I quite like watching Spurs, But what everybody has missed Man City were romping that league and Pep was the new (football) messiah until “oor Brendan” showed the EPL how to play Etihaad FC…..
Brendan is a bit more than any squirrel I have saw and living next to a railway line we see many :-)

The Sun is covering it already.
Thanks Ernie did not expect that.
Nice to be pleasantly surprised for a change.
“And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right off his feet
And threw the poor boy right out in the street”

I asked on here this morning if anyone knew how ELDIEGOBHOY was doing.
Emdy?
Schadenfreude becomes Sevconfreude.
Getting a thorough chasing in minus 5 temperatures as a way to round off a winter break. Marvellous. They must be well rested up.

My own translation of the Berliner Morgenpost article:
On a flight from Edinburgh to Berlin-Schönefeld, drunken fans of the Scottish football club Glasgow Rangers groped and verbally abused cabin crew. Crew-members informed police on landing in Berlin on Saturday.
Police are now investigating three passengers for abuse and sexual assault. After ascertaining their identity the three were released but must appear for questioning on Sunday. The Scots were on their way to a friendly on Sunday against RB Leipzig.

Germans dont use the word “hun” so I wonder what they call “them”
A nonsense GFTB, an absolute nonsense it is.
Celtic in the not so distant future shall be top dhogs of European football, once again.
Any lurking zombies – Let that sink in.
Superb.
HH.
Now that their team has received a kalte Dusche from RB Leipzig on the field would be nice to see the fans getting same from the Polizei’s water canons. That would give them plenty of “exposure” in Europe. Ekelhafte Leute!.
Schadenfreude is like a new German signing…..
