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.

I think you work for the Sun.
You have an opinion on every subject under the Sun.
I don’t know anyone who has your extensive knowledge on every single subject mentioned on here.
C’mon. own up, there’s more than one of you.
You’ve been rumbled…………………..again!
FFS they canny even dae a haun staun!

Once Celtic reach 8-in-a-row, the SPFL will start talking-up and even facilitating our exit to another league.
Can’t be bothered with EPL.
Never saw any of M UTD v Liverpool.
Flicked the radio on.
Mourinho says. Liverpool defended well but they didn’t play to win the game. Only 1 team played to win.
Klopp says. We dominated play, had many chances and should have scored more.
Who is the fibber?
They’d prefer that if it was the only way to stop the Ten.
Burghbhoy –
Jose spouting his customary nonsense.
Or should that be a Red Haun Staun?

I’ve got you now!
Good Evening.
Here’s a ‘report’ on Sevco’s game in Germany today…
“Rangers* Stun Red Bull Leipzig” https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/rangers-stun-red-bull-leipzig/
I have just read the Scottish Sun’s report on the arrest of the 3 Sevco fans, no mention of sexual assault, dumbed down to disruptive behavior, the cover up begins.
DR describing Leipzig as “Bundesliga cracks”.
Errr – they haven’t even played one full season in the league!
Mags 5.23
Sevconians ?
From FF…
First it was the “German bombers” song, then the article in the link here about the guy who fell on to the track . . . but more sinister at the bottom of the article there is accusations of “groping” aircraft cabin crew – even though the word groping is not mentioned in the EasyJet statement:-
Meanwhile three footie fans were arrested over claims they groped cabin crew on an easyJet flight from Edinburgh to Berlin on Saturday.
The trio were met by cops when the plane landed at Berlin.
A spokesman for easyJet said: “easyJet can confirm that three passengers, who were behaving in a disruptive manner during flight EZY6977 from Edinburgh to Berlin on 14 January, were met by police on arrival in Berlin.
“The return sectors of the passengers have been cancelled as a result of their behaviour.
“Whilst they are rare, easyJet takes all incidents of disruptive behaviour seriously. easyJet’s crew are trained to assess and evaluate all incidents and act appropriately and we will not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour.
“The safety of its passengers and crew is the airline’s highest priority.”
Winning Captains,
Typical FF spin. The Berliner Morgenpost clearly spoke to the police rather than basing their report on Easyjet’s statement.

Look EasyJet…..
Yer plane never feckin’ crashed so whit’s the fecking problem?
Trubblemakers!
‘Scotland’s Shame’ indeed. Still one of my favourite banners at CP.

Oliver Burke Tinbhoy, gotta be a Tim with a name like that!
Timbhoy not Tinbhoy of course..
Some very decent football on show in the Tunisia v Senegal game.
Just heard the commentator saying that the ticket prices are less that $1, a fair whack in a country where more than 50% of the population live on less that a $1 a day.
A clown held a door open for me today…..
It was a nice jester….

I agree, 99%. Four years ago was the golden opportunity to switch on the light into the whole vile, corrupt cabal of apartheid, complicity and graft in Scoddland.
I stop short of calling out the board on this as vehemently as you do – I might be wrong, it’s been known. I suspect the board thought the wooden stake though the chest would be administered by others, leaving their saintly halos intact.
I can’t see the logic in the argument that says the board would rather perpetuate the Hun Hatefest, and conspire to keep them alive to do so, over our £30 million-plus per annum simply for CL qualification.
Whatever, I think the first 6 months of this year will be interesting, and not in a nice way, for the bloated brethren.
Saw earlier on that we are planning to increase our stadium capacity to 75,000.
Is this true?? If it is our exit is well underway……..

Where did you see that?
Evening all.
Nothing like the smell of thrashed buns in the evening

Evening Lefty,
I was in a wee Art do last night and I heard the dulcet tones of Scotland near the free drinks table, a sticky fae out Johnstone way telling the company around him that “His Team” were back in Europe playing RB Leipzig no less.
I sauntered over and as I was poring myself a wee sparkly water I said ” it’s a friendly mate or did you no get that bit?”
Cue dropped chin tae the floor:)))
I rarely go out much these days but I’m glad I did last night.
We had a wee chat, he’s convinced they did no wrong and they will make a mark in Europe soon ” only a matter of time” was his bold claim.
I wonder how that’s working for him the day.
Only the second one I’ve met here in 17 years, seems Switzerland is the haunt of Exiled Tims only.
Hope yer well Big Pal.

Things good here starry,
Wee mhan staying tonight his wee fitba team went to a fitba school this morning and everyone got a medal for taking part,

Where did you see that?
====================
Bro in law showed me it on his phone. Will try to get a link
I think we can rest in our beds tonight, safe in the knowledge that those intrepid Frank Drebin boys FOCUS, will be all over the huns in airports and cities involved in their ‘glamour friendly’.

I think that’s an estimate for capacity if we increased the safe standing area big time.
Hi all
As the Herald reports James Forrest is reborn, a detailed analysis of his performance is now up on Celtic By Numbers http://celticbynumberscom.ipage.com/james-the-first-redux/
Hope you enjoy.
With talks apparently ongoing with Manchester City for the extension of Patrick Roberts loan, tomorrow I’ll be looking at Roberts record as he and Forrest vie for 1 spot.
Welcome any feedback for this new blog ! thanks and HH
glad we’ve had a break. rest for tired limbs and give the players a chance to look at progress and being honest , just about all of them have competition (simunovic maybe no, cg maybe no, broonie? ) to think about and need to improve parts of their game. I wonder what br will do with moussa – him or lg is a big decision. Wonder what he’ll do about fitness- we have bigger lungs this year, do they keep working on that all year? Ebuoae – br doesn’t hang around – might see him sooner rather than later

Those are the moments that stay with ye forever:)))
For the thick Level 5 lapdogs , who lurk here for real news, ‘provoked’ and ‘ambushed’, will be useful for your lies in tomorrow’s rags.
