Adam Matthews has been on top form this season, his pace and partnership with Mikael Lustig have been unfailing for Celtic, so Neil Lennon will clearly feel robbed at a top players injury-enforced absence for three months.
It could be worse.
An injury to Forster, Ambrose, van Dijk or Izaguirre would be difficult to accommodate but we are not short of right side-midfield options. James Forrest is now back from injury and although Derk Boerrigter joined as a left-sided player, he has already featured on the right for Celtic. If Boerrigter plays on the left Samaras, Commons and Stokes can all feature on the right.
One man’s cloud is another’s silver lining, just ask Beram Kayal, who kept Victor Wanyama on the bench until he was injured in December 2011. Victor got the run in the team he needed and never looked back.
Signing van Dijk was a response to an unexpected transfer request/not in the right frame of mind to pull a jersey on statement from Kelvin Wilson, but the major planned summer activity was to inject pace into the team for Champions League games, specifically through Boerrigter and Pukki. For various reasons we’re not there yet, maybe Ajax at home later this month will change that.
Blown away by the 1254125 donations, which have flooded in since Friday. Each donor, from those who donated £5 to the several who gave £125 (like it!) are a credit to the spirit of those whose footsteps you walk in. Promise to stop pestering with a link to the page. Soon.
Thank you.

Tallybhoy dirty footballers at SJC…That’s because we were more of a Rugby school and the first term was taken up with rugby and we only played football in the second term and as such still had rugby on our mind when the footy got going ! lol
prestonpans bhoys-aye…:)
Balde playing for the U20s tonight?
I hope he scores a few and it gives him a wee boost.

LennyBhoy, well done Sir, you are a credit to the blog.
Canamalar, Morrisey23rd, well don’t to the pair of you.

Didn’t Jim Steele manage a few OG’s in his short spell with thems? Seem to recall that the Kinning Park Loyal made him their POTY – potty then, potty now!
Winning Captains:
Can you please include me on the list? Wouldn’t want my ‘lesser-spotted’ appreciation society thinking I had flounced during the International downtime. :-)

Will the CQN Christmas annual have a banner heading like:

or something… ?

“Loved Davy Hay, remember him scoring a screamer from 25 yds against the Huns in a Scottish Cup game, 3-1 to the good guys, in the Jungle that day, magic.”
Either the Pink Times or the Green Citizen had a classic headline that night:
CELTS MAKE HAY IN THE RAIN.

All Celtic fans against the bill? So far we

Thanks for clearing that up!

Just got news from Morissey,
Resolution will be made at the AGM, details to be finalised with the club, strangely the contact was made through the CST but thats a very minor gripe.
We’re going to the AGM :o) who’d a thunk it, I’ll repeat, hopefully the board see this as useful, even better if they agree with us.
Wonder if the meeja will pick up on this news :oD))) whose kidding who, continued news black out but the question will become official football business and can be referenced officially, in future.
Hail Hail
…….whit day is it?……
Canamalar
Congratulations your diligence and perseverance deserved this.
Since downloading ios7 I can’t get face time on the old iPad……..anyone help?……
So it goes something like this…
The Bhoy Jinky tells me there is talk of a tribute to St. John Doyle at the Ajax game. Linda gives us her Blessing and was overwhelmed by the gesture. Then a plea is made to try and get two tickets for the family so all four can go to the Ajax game. You lot were not satisfied with that, oh no, you suggested that we get the four family members seats together, shower of unselfish lot…:)
So it began, the torch was lit and the Baton picked up, was there ever any doubt, no way, no way.
Minx1888 offered us straight away her two tickets for the Ajax game. Next up was Hamiltontim who was pretty certain he could get us four tickets together.
I got a telephone call this morning, it was Sannabhoy…paraphrasing but basically we have the four tickets together. Time for the Bank balance to be checked, which I have just done. To-date we have amassed £425 and expect at least another £100 in pledges and cash. We will have enough to pay for the four tickets. We will have enough for the tickets and also for a Wreath, which I am organising. There will be change left over, with this we will kick off a Mydonate 1254125 in George’s memory, watch this space.
I have spoken with Linda and told her that the family will all go and sit together to the Ajax game. No words can express her gratitude to each and every one of you. She asked me to tell you that you have all be brilliant, so kind and that I would not understand what CQN meant to George.
Linda once again asked me to tell you all that you are most welcome to visit the House or to call. Arrangements have not been finalised but when they are they will be on GCC website, Twitter, FB and of course CQN.
You probably only start to begin to understand how the Family are feeling with the warmth and generosity shown to them by you.
Linda was talking to one of the Green Brigade last night and she asked me to let you know that the GB will be paying their own tribute at the Ajax game. I confirmed that there will also be a tribute on the Big Screen. What a night it will be for the Ryan Family to soak up the atmosphere, sitting together amongst their extended Family who are the Celtic Supporters; it may even bring a tear from George’s eyes looking down with pride on his 60,000 Family members. As Linda said he lived for CQN and Celtic.
Can I finish off by apologising to any of you that I have not personally replied to e-mails. Thank you for your support, thank you on behalf of the Ryan Family but most of all thank you on behalf of George who will be with us all on 22nd October and forever.
God Bless George Ryan, God Bless Celtic and God Bless CQN.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Does anyone know if George Galloway has tabled his Commons Motions yet?
Someone posted the text the other day although its not offically on the EDM database.
I listened to Jackson on shortbread earlier. I get the feeling he thinks he’s going to wake up one morning and its all been a bad dream.
A bit like Pamela Ewings dream. Although hers only lasted one series and this one looks like its never ending.
…..and another thing…..can anybody……..n ah mean ANYBODY….. Tell me the purpose of moustaches?…….
I can’t make it Thursday, baby sitting duties, but was there on Saturday for a full shift 10-1300hrs.
Would urge all interested in democracy to help Axe The Act.
Hope Thomas Crannaghan gives the SNP a fright and steals the seat for Labour.
I am apolitical, but the SNP must pay for this Act and the criminalisation of young football supporters by an overzealous police force under pressure to get convictions to justify the Act.
It is simply unjustifiable.
Hilarious SSB..
‘Huns needed to spend £millions .. In case they meet Celtic’… Holy moly!
That Mark from Aberdeen was good
;-)
I wish Celtic had a channel on Sky. Would love to be sitting watching the U20 game.
Son just telling me Paul George victim of shocking tackle (again!) by Kane. Straight red card!

Seen the text. Was wondering if he had actually tabled the motions and if he has, will MSM report it.

He’s now the steward of the Irish club eastleigh Southampton , the ex club of the Chris sutton Csc .
Just saw that tackle on Adam on tv,it looks as if he was lucky just to get a fractured shoulder and not be facing something more serious,an absolute shocker,if that was broony on a m/well player it would have been a penalty and a red card no danger
